Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Investigation of the outcome of an adjuvant treatment with catumaxomab as compared to surgery alone in patients after curative resection of a gastric adenocarcinoma in order to gain more detailed information primary on safety, tolerability and feasibility.;Secondary Objective: Investigation of the outcome of an adjuvant treatment with catumaxomab as compared to surgery alone in patients after curative resection of a gastric adenocarcinoma in order to gain more detailed information secondary on relevant efficacy parameters.;Primary end point(s): - Frequency, relationship and seriousness of adverse events (AEs) - Clinically relevant laboratory results (hematology with differential count, clinical chemistry, coagulation tests, DABA and urinalysis), - Vital functions (SBP/DBP, HR, T°) - Electrocardiogram (ECG) - Physical examination - Number and duration of hospitalizations - Peri- and postoperative outcome
