One standard treatment includes a combination of docetaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil. However, the original combination of these three drugs can cause many side effects. This study is being done to find out if these three drugs can be given at lower doses more often, with fewer side effects and still maintain the same benefit as the standard way of giving this three drug combination. If your tumor overexpresses a protein called Her2, you are also eligible to receive trastuzumab with chemotherapy. Trastuzumab is a medicine that has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of Her2 positive breast cancer. Trastuzumab is now also a standard treatment in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of Her2 positive stomach cancer. If your tumor is Her2 positive, you would receive the modified administration schedule of docetaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil with trastuzumab. http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT00515411 - Retrieved August 2011Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer CenterSanofi-Aventis; Roche/Genetech; City of Hope National Medical Center; Piedmont Hopsital Research Institute; Medical College of Wisconsin; Queens Health Network; Weill Medical College of Cornell University; Memorial Cancer Institute, Florida; University of Pittsburgh; Long Island Jewish Medical Center; Nebraska Cancer Specialists Methodist Estabrook Cancer CenterCurrently recruiting

46http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT00763646Phase II Study of Neoadjuvant Taxotere, Cisplatin, and 5-Fluorouracil in Patients With Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction AdenocarcinomaThe primary purpose of the study is to determine the impact of chemotherapy on the ability of your surgeon to completely remove the cancer as well as the impact on your survival. Furthermore the investigators will be assessing the side effects of this chemotherapy strategy. Finally the investigators will determine the ability of specialized imaging technology (PET scan) to document and predict the response of the tumor to this chemotherapy. Standard therapy for patients with your condition usually consists of surgery (removal of the tumor) followed by combination chemotherapy and radiotherapy. More recently, standard options available to patients with cancer of the stomach or lower esophagus have been expanded to include chemotherapy without radiotherapy prior to and following surgery. While it is believed that chemotherapy prior to surgery is a good option for patients with stomach, it is not known what is the optimal chemotherapy regimen to offer patients prior to surgery to improve the likelihood of cure while limiting side-effects to patients.

Efficacy will be assessed by response rate, with an exploratory outcome endpoint of time to progression (as panitumumab may result in prolonged stable disease). In addition to the usual safety assessments, molecular correlates will be carried out in order to search for pharmacodynamic and pharmacogenomic features that may correlate with response. Measures of host/patient immune function will be assessed by evaluating the relationship between Fc receptor polymorphisms and response in patients treated with panitumumab. Measures of EGFR protein and phosphoprotein expression by immunohistochemical- (IHC-) staining, K-ras mutation status1 and reverse-phase protein arrays (RPPA) and EGFR gene amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) will be assessed as exploratory correlates.http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT00836277 - Retrieved August 2011University of PittsburghAmgenCurrently recruiting

52http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT00917462Phase II Trial of Sorafenib for Patients With Metastatic or Recurrent Esophageal and Gastroesophageal Junction CancerSorafenib is a drug being studied for the treatment of cancer. Sorafenib has been shown to block certain proteins on the surface of some cancer cells called "growth factor receptors." Blocking these growth factor receptors can slow or stop cancer cell growth. Sorafenib is also known as Nexavar®. It has been studied in other types of cancers, including kidney cancer, and has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating advanced kidney cancer. Because it is not approved by the FDA for treating esophageal cancer, it is considered an experimental treatment. The purpose of this study is to determine what effects sorafenib has on advanced esophageal cancer. These effects include whether sorafenib can shrink the tumor or slow down its growth and what side effects sorafenib will have on the tumor. http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT00917462 - Retrieved August 2011Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer CenterBayerCurrently recruiting

The investigators will also evaluate the side effects of STA-9090, and examine the relationship between the presence of HSP-90 and how well study participants respond to STA-9090. STA-9090 works by blocking a protein in tumor cells called HSP90, which is thought to play a role in tumor growth. By interfering with this protein's function, STA-9090 may help kill tumor cells. This drug has been used in other research studies and information from those other research studies suggests that this agent may help to slow tumor growth in esophagogastric cancer. http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT01167114 - Retrieved August 2011Massachusetts General HospitalDana-Farber Cancer Institute; Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center; Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp.Currently recruiting
