Brief Summary

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

This is a randomized, open-label study done in 3 hospitals in China. Patients with stage IIIB and IIIC gastric cancer who undergo curative D2 gastrostomy will be randomly assigned after surgery to receive adjuvant chemotherapy with oxaliplatin and capecitabine, or adjuvant chemotherapy combined Traditional Chinese treatment. The primary outcome was disease-free survival and 3-year disease-free survival rate in the intention-to-treat population.

Detailed Description

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Traditional Chinese Medicine combined adjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of stage IIIb and IIIc gastric cancer through randomized controlled trial.

Metastasis and recurrence is the primary cause in decreasing the survival time of gastric cancer patients who experienced radical operation. Among whom, patients with stage IIIB and IIIC are especially in high risk of metastasis and recurrence, result in a significant poor survival time than patients with earlier stages.

Oxaliplatin with capecitabine is the standard adjuvant chemotherapy for curative D2 gastrostomy gastric cancer, contribute the 3-year disease free survival rate of 74% in ITT, and 61% in stage IIIB sub-group. Meanwhile, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment has been used for thousands of years in Chinese clinical practices. In China, the clinical curative effect of TCM in the treatment of gastric cancer has been part of affirmation. Some reports with large samples of clinical research show that the TCM is effective and safety for gastric cancer.In order to evaluate efficacy on TCM combined adjuvant chemotherapy in IIIB and IIIC gastric cancer, we design this randomized, open-label study.
