Brief summary

For second-line chemotherapy for metastatic gastric cancer, single-agent irinotecan is the standard treatment. Anthracyclines are active but lack well designed investigations. The combination of epirubicin, fluorouracil and cisplatin (or oxaliplatin) are widely used in Europe. However, traditional anthracyclines are more cardiotoxic; and (Pegliposomal Doxorubicin) PLD, as a new liposome dosage form of doxorubicin, has better cardiac safety. Therefore, we designed this phase II trial with PLD and 5-Fu to compare irinotecan monotherapy in the second-line treatment.

Detailed description

Patients with metastatic gastric cancer failed to first-line therapy will be radomized to arm A with PLD and 5-Fu and arm B with irinotecan single agent therapy. Both regimens will be treated every 2 weeks until disease progression or untolerable toxicity. Efficacy will be assessed every 3 cycles and safety will be evaluated every cycle.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Disease control rate (DCR)24 weeksPercentage of subjects with tumor shrinkage reaching complete response (CR), partial response (PR) and disease stabilization (SD).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective response rate (ORR)24 weeksPercentage of subjects with tumor shrinkage reaching complete response (CR) and partial remission (PR).
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)1 yearPFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documentation of progressive disease or date of death, whichever occurs first. For target lesions (TL), PD was defined as at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of TLs, taking as a reference the smallest SLD recorded since the treatment started, or the appearance of one or more lesions. For non-target lesions (NTL), PD was defined as an unequivocal progression of existing NTLs. Participants were censored at the last date of tumor measurement, the last date in the study drug log, or the date of last follow-up.
Overall Survival (OS)2 yearsOS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. Participants were censored at the last date of tumor measurement, the last date in the study drug log or the date of last follow-up.

EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire-Stomach Cancer Specific (QLQ STO22) Questionnaire Scores2 yearsThe QLQ-STO22 is a gastric cancer quality of life questionnaire. There are 22 questions concerning disease, treatment related symptoms, side effects, dysphagia, nutritional aspects, and questions about the emotional problems of gastric cancer (dysphagia, pain, reflux, eating restrictions, anxiety, dry mouth, body image, and hair loss). The questions are grouped into five scales and 4 single items which are related to the symptoms of the disease. Most questions used 4-point scale (1 'Not at all' to 4 'Very much'; 1 question was a yes or no answer). A linear transformation was used to standardize all scores and single-items to a scale of 0 to 100; higher score=better level of functioning or greater degree of symptoms.
