Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary aim of this dose-finding study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of taxotere, eloxatin and capecitabine (TEX) in combination with herceptin given every third week as first-line treatment in patients with HER2-positive advanced gastro-esophageal cancer. Secondary end points are to evaluate progression-free survival and overall survival.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary aim:

To define the maximum tolerated dose of the combination of taxotere, eloxatin and capecitabine (TEX) in combination with herceptin given every third week as first- line treatment in patients with HER2-positive advanced gastro-esophageal cancer.

Secondary aims:

Estimating response-rate, progression free survival and overall survival

Methods:

This dose-finding study is planned to include 15 patients with HER2 positive gastro-esophageal cancer, adenocarcinoma. Patients will be included in cohorts of three at progressively higher dose levels.

Chemotherapy will be repeated day 1 every third week to a maximum of eight cycles. Treatment with trastuzumab will continue until disease progression. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) will be evaluated after the first cycle. In case of DLT among one of the three patients during the first course of treatment additional three patients will be added at the respective dose level. Dose escalation is continued if 0/3 or 1/6 patients experience DLT.

Patients will be evaluated with a ct- scan at baseline and after every three cycles to exclude progression and evaluate response. Response is assessed by investigators according to RECIST version 1.1.

Blood counts regarding tumour biology will be collected at baseline before 2nd, 4th and 7th cycle and 4 weeks after ended treatment. After completion of treatment patients will be followed every third month until progression or death.
