Summary

This study intends to evaluate the feasibility and treatment efficacy of adding an antibody blocking the epidermal growth factor (EGF) pathway to a neoadjuvant approach with proven efficacy developed at New York University.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients must have signed an approved informed consent.
  • must have histologically documented untreated gastric/GEJ carcinoma (clinical stage T3 N0 or T4, or any T with N1-N3 M0)
  • Patients with tumor tissue available for assessment of EGF receptor status by immuno-histochemistry (IHC).
  • Patients with Performance Status 0-2.
  • Patients, 18 years and older, must either be not of child bearing potential or have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days of treatment. Patients are considered not of child bearing potential if they are surgically sterile (they have undergone a hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy) or they are postmenopausal.
  • Bone marrow function: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) at least 1,500/ul; platelets at least 100,000/ul.
  • Renal function: creatinine not greater than 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN).
  • The PT and PTT should be within the range of normal values
  • Hepatic function: bilirubin not greater than 1.5 x ULN; aspartate aminotransferase (AST) not greater than 2.5 x ULN.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Acute hepatitis or known HIV.
  • Active or uncontrolled infection.
  • Significant history of uncontrolled cardiac disease; i.e., uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina, and congestive heart failure.
  • Prior therapy that affects or targets the EGF pathway.
  • Prior allergic reaction to chimerized or murine monoclonal antibody therapy or documented presence of human anti-mouse antibodies (HAMA).
  • Any concurrent chemotherapy not indicated in the study protocol or any other investigational agent(s).
