Last Updated: 2009-04-28

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE2
• Total Enrollment: 32 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to collect information on the anti-tumor activity of the combination doxorubicin, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil when given to patients with advanced esophageal or gastric adenocarcinoma. We will also be collecting information about the side effects and safety of this combination.

Detailed Description

• Patients will receive cisplatin and doxorubicin intravenously once every 3 weeks. In addition to cisplatin and doxorubicin, patients will receive 5-fluorouracil intravenously as a continuous infusion for the duration of the study. In order to do this, patients will receive an infusion pump that can be carried with them. Treatment cycles will be repeated every 21 days for a maximum of 8 cycles.
• Prior to enrollment in this study and while the patient is receiving the therapy, routine blood tests and x-ryas (including chest x-rays and CT scans) will be performed to check the body's response to the treatment. Blood tests will be checked once a week and chest x-rays and CT scans will be checked every 6 weeks.
• Patients with progressive disease or intolerable side effects will be removed from the study. Patients with stable disease or tumor response will continue therapy for a maximum of 8 cycles.
