Study Summary

This phase Ib trial investigates the side effects and how well a shorter course of chemotherapy and radiation treatment (chemoradiotherapy) for 2 weeks instead of 5 weeks followed by standard chemotherapy works in treating patients with gastric cancer who are scheduled to have treatment and then surgery to remove the tumor. Chemotherapy drugs, such as capecitabine and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy sources to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving short-course chemo-radiotherapy before chemotherapy and surgery may help to control the disease.

Primary Outcome

Characterized by the incidence and severity of treatment-related adverse events. Grade 3 or higher toxicity classified as attributable to chemotherapy and radiation treatment (CXRT), during the 14 days of treatment administration or within 14 days of completion of CXRT (i.e., a total of 28 days), based on multidisciplinary review, will be used for the purpose of toxicity monitoring. Differences between grades vary and are detailed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (
