Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safe and tolerable dose of sunitinib when given together with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil in patients with advanced gastric cancer who have not received prior chemotherapy for their advanced cancer.

Interventions

DRUG5-fluorouracil

5- fluorouracil is given as 4000 mg/m\^2 total dose over 96 hr continuous infusion of a 21 day chemotherapy cycle. Each 21 day cycle is repeated until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity is observed.

DRUGcisplatin

Cisplatin is given 80 mg/m\^2 through a vein on day 1 every 21 days. Each 21 day cycle is repeated until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity is observed.

DRUGsunitinib malate

sunitinib is given orally 37.5mg /day for 14 days followed by 7 days of drug free period. Each 21 day cycle is repeated until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity is observed.
