About

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of S1 plus paclitaxel (intravenous injection & intraperitoneal injection) plus bevacizumab (intraperitoneal injection) vs. S1 plus oxaliplatin intravenous injection as first-line treatment in gastric or gastroesophageal junctional adenocarcinoma with malignant ascites.

Full description

This is a prospective, open-label, multicenter clinical trial, to compare the efficacy of S1 plus paclitaxel (intravenous injection & intraperitoneal injection) plus bevacizumab (intraperitoneal injection) versus S1 plus oxaliplatin intravenous injection as first-line treatment in gastric or gastroesophageal junctional adenocarcinoma with malignant ascites. A total of 66 patients who are diagnosed with gastric or gastroesophageal junctional adenocarcinoma will be allocated to receive either S1 orally administration plus paclitaxel intravenous injection & intraperitoneal injection plus bevacizumab intraperitoneal injection, or to receive S1 orally administration plus oxaliplatin intravenous injection. The primary end point is ascites response rate at 6 weeks. The secondary end points include the median overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), time to treatment failure (TTF), objective response rate (ORR), puncture free survival, volume of drainage, the quality of life (QoL) and safety.

Enrollment: 66 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 70 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

• Subject with other malignancies, except for non-melanoma skin cancer or in-situ cervical carcinoma under adequate treatment, or other treated malignancies without evidence of recurrent for 5 years.
• Anti-tumor cytotoxic drug therapy within 14 days prior to enrollment（longer washout time interval might needed depends on drug characteristics）
