Trial Information

Phase II Trial of Docetaxel Plus Oxaliplatin (DOCOX) With Cetuximab in Patients With Metastatic Gastric and/or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma


This is a Phase II, open- label, randomized, noncomparative study. Patients will be
stratified at randomization by ECOG PS. There is no intent to have equal numbers of patients
for each PS (ie, 0, 1, and 2), but rather stratification will be conducted to ensure that
the 2 treatment arms are well-balanced for ECOG PS.

Patients will be randomly assigned to either Arm 1 - Taxotere 60 mg/m2 as an intravenous
(IV) infusion over 1 hour, followed by Eloxatin 130 mg/m2 IV over 2 hours or Arm 2 -
Taxotere 60 mg/m2 as an IV infusion over 1 ho ur, followed by Eloxatin 130mg/m2 IV over 2
hours, followed by ERBITUX 400 mg/m2 IV over 120 minutes (first dose only), all other doses
are 250 mg/m2 over 60 minutes. Taxotere and Eloxatin will be given on Day 1 of each 21-day
cycle; ERBITUX is given on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle.

Treatment will continue until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. Patients who
achieve a CR will receive an additional 2 cycles of treatment. Patients will be limited to
24 months of participation, counted from the date of the first dose of study drug.

plus treatment with 5-FU and leucovorin. Prior treatment must have been completed >
6 months prior to registration in current study. No other prior regimens are
allowed.

Note: Adjuvant radiation plus treatment with 5-FU and leucovorin is permitted, but not
required.

- If present, any peripheral neuropathy is > Grade 1

- Patient has a known hypersensitivity to Taxotere (or any drug formulated with

hypertension, unstable angina, recent myocardial infarction (within prior 6 months),
uncontrolled congestive heart failure, or cardiomyopathy with decreased ejection
fraction (LVEF<50%)

- Has evidence of CNS involvement (CNS imaging is not required for study enrollment
unless clinically suspected CNS disease is present.)

- Patient has a serious uncontrolled intercurrent medical or psychiatric illness,
including serious infection

- Patient is known to be HIV positive or have a history of hepatitis B or C

- Patient has a history of other malignancy within the last 5 years (except for
squamous or basal cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix , or
superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder), which could affect the
