Brief Summary:
The trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding nimotuzumab to irinotecan after failure of first-line treatment in recurrent or metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma with overexpression of EGFR, and search for the effective biomarkers for nimotuzumab efficacy in gastric cancer.
Detailed Description:
The sample size was calculated using Simon's 2-stage design. The first stage require at least 4 or more out of 19 patients to have a confirmed partial or complete response (assuming P1 = 0.30, P0 = 0.10, with alpha = 0.05 and beta = 0.2) before proceeding to the second stage, in which additional 36 patients were needed. If a total of 15 or more patients achieve a confirmed objective response, then the primary end-point would have been met. The predicted response rate in this study is at least 30%. Blood and tissue samples are required to collect at baseline, response and disease progression.
