A Study of Apatinib Versus Docetaxol Patients With Advanced Gastric Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This multicenter, randomized study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib compared to docetaxel treatment in patients with advanced gastric cancer. At the start of the trial, patients will be randomized to one treatment arm: Arm A: apatinib 850mg qd every 3 weeks; Arm B: docetaxel 60mg/m2 every 3 weeks. Tumor assessment will be done every 8 weeks according to RECIST 1.1. The primary endpoint is progression free survival (PFS).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Progression-free survival (PFS) [Approximately 1 year]
defined as the time from randomize to progression or death; RECIST guidelines were used to define all responses after patients had received every 8 weeks of therapy
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Overall survival (OS) [Approximately 3 years]
defined as the time from randomize to death
- Objective response rate (ORR) [Approximately 1 year]
defined as the rate of complete response and partial response according to RECIST guidelines.
- Disease control rate(DCR) [Approximately 1 year]
defined as the rate of complete response , partial response and stable disease according to RECIST guidelines.
- Quality of life(QoL) [Approximately 3 years]
as measured by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer questionnaire (EORTC QLQ C30)
- Safety (incidence of adverse events) [Approximately 1 year]
incidence of adverse events
