E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
Patients undergoing peri-operative chemotherapy and a total gastrectomy for adenocarcinoma of the stomach |
|
MedDRA Classification |
E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To establish the pharmacokinetics (PK) of capecitabine in patients who have undergone a total gastrectomy. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To compare the PK profile of capecitabine administered to patients with gastric cancer pre- and post-gastrectomy and to compare this to historical data of capecitabine PK values in patients with other cancer types.
To ensure equivalent capecitabine exposure when compared to PK data from the same patients prior to gastrectomy.

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Patients must have histologically confirmed gastric carcinoma suitable for potentially curative resection.
• Surgery must be planned to involve a total gastrectomy.
• No concurrent mechanical or malabsorptive disorders precluding affective oral administration of the drug (excluding early satiety related to the presence of the malignancy).
• Age ≥ 18 years.
• World Health Organisation (WHO) performance status of ≤ 2.
• Haematological and biochemical indices (These measurements must be performed within one week prior to the patient going on study.)
- Haemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 9.0 g/dL (Patients may be transfused to this level, however, HB must be above 9.0 before registration) - Neutrophils ≥ 1.5 x 10^9/L - Platelets (Plts) ≥ 100 x 10^9/L - Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper normal limit - Alanine amino-transferase (ALT) and / or aspartate amino-transferase (AST) ≤ 2.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN). (If both are measured, both must be ≤ 2.0 x ULN) - Calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min (uncorrected value) or isotope clearance measurement ≥ 50 mL/min
• Female patients of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within two weeks prior to enrolment and agree to use appropriate medically approved contraception for four weeks prior to entering the trial, during the trial, and for six months afterwards.
• Male patients must agree to use appropriate medically approved contraception during the trial and for six months afterwards.
• Written, informed consent provided.
• Ability of the patient to co-operate with treatment and follow up must be ensured.
• Patients receiving oral anti-coagulation prior to entry into the study, must be converted to low molecular weight heparin in light of the interaction between capecitabine and warfarin.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Patients with gastric lymphoma or other histological diagnosis
• Any evidence of malignant ascites, peritoneal or liver metastasis, spread to other distant abdominal or extra-abdominal organs.
• History of confirmed Ischaemic Heart Disease, concurrent congestive heart failure or prior history of class III / IV cardiac disease.
• Concurrent mechanical or malabsorptive disorders precluding effective oral administration of the drug.
• Use of other concomitant chemotherapy.
• Pregnancy or lactation.
• Patients known to be serologically positive for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
• Patients who are high medical risks because of non-malignant systemic disease including active uncontrolled infection.
• Any other serious medical or psychological condition precluding adjuvant treatment.
• Patients with any other condition which in the Investigator’s opinion would not make the patient a good candidate for the clinical trial.
