| Phase | Type | Status | Age | Sponsor | Protocol IDs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phase III | Treatment | Closed | any age | NCI | SWOG-9008 CLB-9195, EST-6290, NCCTG-904151, RTOG-9018, INT-0116 |
Objectives
I. Compare disease-free and overall survival in patients randomized to adjuvant chemotherapy with fluorouracil/leucovorin administered with radiotherapy vs. no adjuvant therapy in patients with resected gastric cancer. II. Compare the incidence and patterns of disease failure on these two arms. III. Assess patient tolerance to upper abdominal chemoradiation after gastric resection.

Blood/body fluid analyses to determine eligibility completed within 14 days
prior to registration; screening exams other than blood/body fluid analyses
completed within 42 days prior to registration; imaging studies to determine
disease-free status completed within 56 days prior to registration
Expected Enrollment
550 patients will be randomized over an anticipated 66 months. Interim analyses after each increment of 100 deaths will allow early closure if extreme results occur in either arm.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
