A Phase 1/2 interventional study of trastuzumab, bevacizumab with paclitaxel (triple combination) in HER2-positive Advanced Gastric Cancer, sponsored by Kangbuk Samsung Hospital. Recruiting at 1 site in Korea, Republic of. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-11-26.
Sponsored by Kangbuk Samsung Hospital · Phase 1/2, Interventional, and Treatment
This is a multicenter, open-label, prospective, phase 2 study of trastuzumab, bevacizumab, and paclitaxel as second-line treatment for patients with HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer who had progressed on first-line chemotherapy including trastuzumab or anti-HER2 agents.
Trastuzumab has been administered at 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks after initial loading of 8 mg/kg during the first anticancer treatment, so in the second anticancer treatment, 4 mg/kg is administered every 2 weeks to maintain the same concentration. Bevacizumab is administered at 5 mg/kg at 2-weekly intervals used in metastatic colorectal cancer. Paclitaxel is administered on a standard schedule of 80 mg/m2 for 3 consecutive weeks followed by a 1-week break as an existing weekly regimen, and when side effects occur, the weekly dose is reduced by 25% to 60 mg/m2 for 3 weeks or administered every 2 weeks. Administer 80 mg/m2. Administration of this drug is set as one cycle of 4 weeks.

Exclusion Criteria:
Concomitant diagnosis of cancer in another site or history of active malignant tumor within the past 3 years
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.
HER2 is a protein, made from the ERBB2 gene, that drives the growth of some cancers. A study may look for a level of the protein, extra copies of the gene, or a particular change in it.
In breast cancer, protein tests are read as HER2-positive, HER2-low or HER2-negative; other cancers use their own rules. Check which test result the study requires.
The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.
“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.
Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.

Started Jan 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2025, 35 months after the start.
Of 67 non-industry phase 1/2 interventional studies under Stomach Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 60 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 36 and three quarters within 133. This study's planned 35 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 156 studies reached it within 60 months; a quarter within 41 and three quarters within 109.
