Title: A Randomized Phase II Study of Combination Chemotherapy With Epirubicin , Cisplatin and Capecitabine (ECX) or Cisplatin and Capecitabine (CX) in Advanced Gastric Cancer
Brief Summary: Recently, 3-drug (ECX) and 2-drug (CX) combination chemotherapy involving capecitabine showed promising results in randomized clinical trials for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and activity of ECX and CX combination chemotherapy given as first-line therapy for AGC.

* Histological documentation of local recurrence or metastasis is strongly encouraged, unless the risk of such a procedure outweighs the potential benefit of confirming the metastatic disease.
* If no histologic confirmation, then the metastases or recurrence will require documentation by a 2nd radiographic procedure (eg. PET/CT scan or MRI in addition to the CT scan). If the imaging procedure does not confirm recurrent or metastatic disease, biopsy confirmation will be required.
* Patients must have disease that can be evaluated radiographically. This may be measurable disease or non-measurable disease. Measurable disease is defined as that which can be measured in at least one dimension as \> 20 mm with conventional techniques, or \>10 mm by high resolution imaging. Disease that is identified on radiology studies, but does not meet the criteria for measurable disease, is considered non-measurable.
* Patients may have received no prior chemotherapy for metastatic or unresectable disease. Patients may have received prior adjuvant therapy (chemotherapy and/or chemoradiation) if more than 6 months have elapsed between the end of adjuvant therapy and registration. Patients may not have received prior docetaxel or cisplatin.

Patients with alkaline phosphatase elevation secondary to the bony metastases rather than liver dysfunction may proceed with treatment on protocol after discussion with the principal investigator.
* Kidney function (minimal values):

  \* Serum creatinine \< than or = to 1.5 mg/dl - if serum creatinine is 1.2-1.5 mg/dl, the creatinine clearance (either measured or calculated) must be 50 ml/min or greater
* The patient has a PT (INR) \< than or = to 1.5 and an PTT \< than or = to 3 seconds above the upper limits of normal if the patient is not on anticoagulation. If a patient is on full-dose anticoagulants, the following criteria should be met for enrollment:

  * The patient must have an in-range INR (usually between 2 and 3) on a stable dose of warfarin or on stable dose of LMW heparin

* Patients who have received previous docetaxel or cisplatin.
* Patients with a history of another neoplastic disease within the past three years, excluding basal cell carcinoma of the skin, cervical carcinoma in situ, or nonmetastatic prostate cancer.
