About

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether endostar (recombinant human endostatin)with cisplatin and capecitabine (Xeloda) as 1st line treatment in the advanced gastric cancer is effective and safe.

Full description

Endostar, a recombinant human endostatin, has shown its antitumor ability in combination in NSCLC and breast cancer. But to gastric cancer, few clinical data has been reported. However, bevacizumab, an angiogenesis inhibitor was shown effective in combination with chemotherapy in advanced gastric cancer in some phase II study. So in this study, we want to explore whether endostar is also effective and safe in advanced gastric cancer. Response predictive factor is expected to be identified.
