Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To determine an effective dose-level of R-Cu that can reduce: 1) CT - induced toxicity; 2) degree of DNA damage and inflammation in PBMCs; 3) levels of circulating inflammatory cytokines (PGE2,TNF-alpha, INF-gamma IL-6, IL-1, CRP,IL-4,IL-10 and IL-11) and 4) levels of circulating chromatin in patients receiving chemotherapy for stage IV gastric cancer.Timepoint: 1) serum concentration of inflammatory cytokines on days 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 2) levels of circulating chromatin on days 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 3) degree of DNA damage and inflammation in PBMCs on days 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the steady-state PK parameters for resveratrol and copper on Day 7 in patients receiving palliative chemotherapy for advanced stage IV inoperable gastric cancers at 4-dose levels of R-Cu.Timepoint: The steady-state PK parameters for resveratrol and copper will be performed on Day 7 The sampling time points will be as follows: Group 1 (subjects 1 and 4 of the 4-doses of R-Cu): 0hr, 0.5hr, 3hr, 7hr, 12hr Group 2 (subjects 2 and 5 of the 4-doses of R-Cu): 0hr,1hr, 4hr, 8hr and 12hr. Group 3 (subjects 3 of the 4-doses of R-Cu): 0hr,2hr, 5hr, 10hr and 12hr.
