Clinical trial for Gastric Adenocarcinoma
Official title Testing the Addition of Paclitaxel Administered Into the Abdominal Cavity Combined With Chemotherapy for Patients With Gastric Cancer Spread to the Abdominal Cavity
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07001748
What this study is testing
What is Intraperitoneal Paclitaxel?
Intraperitoneal Paclitaxel is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for gastric adenocarcinoma.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This study aims to find out if giving paclitaxel directly into the abdominal cavity, along with standard chemotherapy, slows cancer growth or helps people live longer compared to standard care alone.
- Who it's for
- The study is looking for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen.
- What's involved
- Participants will have a minor surgery to check the abdomen and possibly place a small port for medication. They will then receive either standard chemotherapy or standard chemotherapy plus paclitaxel delivered through the port.
- Time commitment
- Treatment lasts at least three months, followed by check-ups every three months for two years and every six months until year five.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- Time commitment: about 5 years
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
