Phase II Study of Irinotecan and Docetaxel in Patients With Metastatic or Unresectable Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating irinotecan, docetaxel for Gastric Cancer and Esophageal Neoplasms. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is for people with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal cancer. This study is being done to find out how long it takes tumors to grow after receiving treatment with the drugs irinotecan (also known as CPT-11) and docetaxel (also known as Taxotere). Irinotecan is a drug that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Irinotecan has been approved for treatment of cancer of the colon and rectum. Docetaxel is another drug approved by the FDA. Docetaxel is approved for treatment of breast, prostate and lung cancer. However, the FDA has authorized the use of irinotecan and docetaxel in this study. This study will evaluate the effects of these drugs on participant's tumors. The side effects of the combination of irinotecan and docetaxel will also be evaluated. This study will also measure the levels of certain substances in participant's tumors. These substances, called genes (which are the cell's blueprint), affect how people's bodies react to the cancer drugs. Genes will also be measured in participant's blood. The researchers want to see if these substances can predict response to the study drugs.
