Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Capecitabine
Treatment: Drugs - Cisplatin
Treatment: Drugs - Herceptin

Active comparator: Capecitabine + Cisplatin + Herceptin (6 mg/kg) - Participants will receive Herceptin at a loading dose of 8 mg/kg on Day 1 of Cycle 1 followed by 6 mg/kg q3w as a standard of care from Day 1 of Cycle 2 until disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal from the study for another reason (cycle length = 21 days). Participants will also receive cisplatin 80 mg/m\^2 intravenously q3w plus capecitabine 800 mg/m\^2 orally twice daily for 14 days q3w for up to 6 treatment cycles (Cycles 1 to 6).

Experimental: Capecitabine + Cisplatin + Herceptin (10 mg/kg) - Participants will receive Herceptin at a loading dose of 8 mg/kg on Day 1 of Cycle 1 followed by 10 mg/kg q3w from Day 1 of Cycle 2 until disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal from the study for another reason (cycle length = 21 days). Participants will also receive cisplatin 80 mg/m\^2 intravenously q3w plus capecitabine 800 mg/m\^2 orally twice daily for 14 days q3w for up to 6 treatment cycles (Cycles 1 to 6).


Treatment: Drugs: Capecitabine
Capecitabine will be administered at a dose of 800 mg/m\^2 orally twice daily for 14 days q3w for up to 6 cycles (Cycles 1 to 6).

Treatment: Drugs: Cisplatin
Cisplatin will be administered at a dose of 80 mg/m\^2 intravenously q3w on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for up to 6 cycles (Cycles 1 to 6).

Treatment: Drugs: Herceptin
Herceptin will be administered at a loading dose of 8 mg/kg on Day 1 of Cycle 1 followed by 6 or 10 mg/kg (depending upon treatment assignment) q3w from Day 1 of Cycle 2 until disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal from the study for another reason.

Summary
Brief summary
This randomized, open-label, multicenter, international Phase IIIb study will compare the efficacy and safety of two Herceptin dosing regimens in combination with cisplatin/capecitabine chemotherapy in participants with HER2-positive metastatic gastric or gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Participants who have not received prior treatment for metastatic disease will be randomized to receive Herceptin intravenously as either an 8-milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) loading dose followed by 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks (q3w) as standard of care or an 8-mg/kg loading dose followed by 10 mg/kg q3w until disease progression. Capecitabine will be administered for 6 cycles at a dose of 800 milligrams per meter-squared (mg/m\^2) orally twice a day on Days 1 to 14 of each 3-week cycle, and cisplatin will be administered intravenously for 6 cycles at a dose of 80 mg/m\^2 on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle. Herceptin will be continued until disease progression occurs.
