Study summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral capecitabine (Xeloda) versus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), in combination with intravenous (IV) cisplatin, in participants with advanced and/or metastatic gastric cancer. The anticipated time on study treatment is at least 6 weeks and continued up to disease progression, and the target sample size is 300 individuals.

Inclusion criteria

  • Adults 18 to 75 years of age
  • Advanced and/or gastric cancer with at least 1

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Uncontrolled infection
  • Evidence of central nervous system (CNS)
  • History of other within the last 5 years, except cured basal cell cancer of the skin or cured in-situ cancer of the uterine cervix
  • Radiation therapy or major surgery within 4 weeks of study drug
  • Previous chemotherapy
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
