Patients with inoperable, locally advanced or recurrent and/or HER2-positive metastatic gastric or gastro-esophageal junction cancer, with no prior treatment for metastatic disease are to be recruited in the study. In the current study, the efficacy and safety of Trastuzumab in combination with Capecitabine/Docetaxel will be evaluated in Chinese patients with HER2 positive advanced or recurrent gastric cancer.60 patients could provide adequate precision rather than controlling type I\&II error. Assuming the target PFS is 6.7m, 60 patients will give 90% CI of (5.5, 8.4). Considering the 5% drop out rate, 65 patients will be enrolled.
This is a phase II, multi-center, open label, single arm, interventional study. Patients with HER2-positive metastatic gastric or gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinoma who have not received prior treatment for metastatic disease will be treated with trastuzumab(8 mg/kg loading dose followed by 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks ),Capecitabine(2000mg/m2d, d1-14,every 3 weeks) and Docetaxel (60mg/m2 every 3 weeks for 6 cycles).All patients will continue to receive trastuzumab and Capecitabine until either disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal from the study for another reason.Primary endpoints is PFS and secondary endpoints are ORR, OS and Safety.Recruitment period:24 months;PFS follow-up period: 80% PFS events;OS follow-up period: 18 months or 80% OS events, whichever occurs first.

Trastuzumab (Herceptin) will be administered at a loading dose of 8 mg/kg (on day 1) followed by 6mg/kg i.v. infusion every 3 weeks (q3w), until disease progress or intolerable toxicity.
Docetaxel 60mg/m2 (on day 1) every 3 weeks for 6 cycles.

PFS(Progression-free survival )
The PFS was calculated from the initiation of chemotherapy to the date of disease progression or death,
Time frame: up to 4 years
ORR (Overall tumor response)
Overall tumor response: This is defined as the occurrence of either a confirmed complete (CR) or a partial (PR) best overall response as determined by the RECIST criteria from confirmed radiographic evaluations of target and non-target lesions.
Time frame: up to 4 years
OS (Overall survival )
Overall survival was measured from the initiation of chemotherapy to the date of the last follow-up or death.
Time frame: up to 4 years
Safety
Adverse events and laboratory tests graded according to the NCI-CTC AE Version 4.
Time frame: up to 4 years
