Conditions

Advanced Gastric Cancer

Brief summary

Fruquintinib once daily in 4 weeks treatment cycle (three weeks on and one week off) in combination with Paclitaxel 80mg/㎡(day1, 8, 15 of 4 weeks cycle) was well tolerated and demonstrated encouraging preliminary clinical antitumor activity in patients with advanced GC in ph1b/2 study. This study is aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fruquintinib in combination with Paclitaxel in the treatment of patients with aGC who have progressed after first line standard chemotherapy.

Detailed description

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter Phase III clinical trial to compare the efficacy and safety of Fruquintinib combined with Paclitaxel versus Paclitaxel alone in patients with advanced gastric cancer who have progressed after first-line standard chemotherapy. After checking eligibility criteria, subjects will be randomized into Fruquintinib combined with Paclitaxel group (treatment group) or placebo combined with Paclitaxel group (control group) in a ratio of 1:1. Primary Efficacy Endpoint: Overall Survival (OS), Progression free survival (PFS) (According to RECIST Version 1.1). Secondary Efficacy Endpoints: Objective Response Rate (ORR), Disease Control Rate (DCR), Duration of Response (DOR), EORTC QLQ-C30 (V3) .Safety and tolerance will be evaluated by incidence, severity and outcomes of AEs and categorized by severity in accordance with the NCI CTC AE Version 4.03.

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCTfruquintinib +paclitaxel

treatment arm(fruquintinib +paclitaxel)- subjects will receive Fruquintinib orally, once daily for 3 wks on/ 1 wk off combined with paclitaxel 80mg/㎡ at day 1,8,15 of 4-week cycle. Patients will receive a cycles of 4 weeks of study treatment or until the occurrence of progressive disease (PD), death, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or other conditions that meet the end of treatment criteria.

Patients will receive a cycles of 4 weeks of study treatment or until the occurrence of progressive disease (PD), death, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or other conditions that meet the end of treatment criteria.

Exclusion criteria

* Pregnant or lactating women * Any factors that influence the usage of oral administration * Evidence of CNS metastasis * Intercurrence with one of the following: non-controlled hypertension, coronary artery disease, arrhythmia and heart failure * Abuse of alcohol or drugs * Less than 4 weeks from the last clinical trial * Previous treatment with VEGFR inhibition * Disability of serious uncontrolled intercurrence infection * Proteinuria ≥ 2+ (1.0g/24hr) * Have evidence or a history of bleeding tendency within two months of the enrollment randomization, regardless of seriousness * Within 12 months before the first treatment occurs artery/venous thromboembolic events, such as cerebral vascular accident (including transient ischemic attack) etc. * Within 6 months before the first treatment occurs acute myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome or CABG * Bone fracture or wounds that was not cured for a long time * Coagulation dysfunction, hemorrhagic tendency or receiving anticoagulant Therapy * The tumor invades a large vessel structure, such as the pulmonary artery, superior vena cava, or inferior vena cava

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall survival (OS)from randomization until death due to any cause, assessed up to 3 yearevery two months follow up after EOT observation period at 30 days after the last medication
Progression free survival (PFS)from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented progressive disease or date of death due to any cause, assessed up to 1 year]PFS defined as the time from the date of randomization to the first evidence of disease progression as defined by response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) v1.1 or death from any cause.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Safety and tolerance evaluated by incidence, severity and outcomes of AEsfrom first dose to 30 days post the last doseSafety and tolerance will be evaluated by incidence, severity and outcomes of AEs and categorized by severity in accordance with the NCI CTC AE Version 4.03
Objective response rate (ORR)from randomization up to progressive disease or EOT due to any cause, assessed up to 1 yearTumor assessment will be performed using radiography method every 8 weeks until the occurrence of progressive disease (PD), using RECIST v 1.1
The European Organization for Reasearch and Treatment of Cancer(EORTC ) Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 V3.0 (QLQ-C30 v3.0)Evaluation before the beginning of each treatment cycle, at the end of treatment, and at the 30 days post the last dose,up to 2 yearsEORTC QLQ-C30 v3.0 was a self-administered questionnaire with multidimensional scales that measures global health status. There are 30 items in total, which can be divided into 15 fields. Five functional scales: physical function, role function, cognitive function, emotional function, social function; Three symptom scales: fatigue, pain, nausea and vomiting; Six individual measures: dyspnea, insomnia, loss of appetite, constipation, diarrhea, financial difficulties, and a global quality of life scale. The five functional scales and the global quality of life scale were scored independently. After linear transformation, the scores of all items ranged from 1 to 100, and the higher score, the higher functional level. The symptom scale was also scored independently and linearly transformed into a score from 1 to 100, with higher scores indicating more serious problems or symptoms.
Duration of response, DOR: From the first documented PR or CR until the first documented PD or death,assessed up to 2 yearsDOR was the time from the date of first evidence of complete response or partial response to the date of objective progression or the date of death due to any cause, whichever is earlier. CR and PR were defined using the RECIST v1.1.
Disease control rate (DCR)from randomization up to progressive disease or EOT due to any cause, assessed up to 1 yearTumor assessment will be performed using radiography method every 8 weeks until the occurrence of progressive disease (PD), using RECIST v 1.1
