Abstract:
732 Background: S-1, an oral fluoropyrimidine derivative, is standard adjuvant therapy in Japanese patients with resected biliary tract cancer (BTC), based on the results of JCOG1202, a phase III trial evaluating adjuvant S-1 following curative resection for BTC compared to surgery alone. The efficacy of 5-FU-based therapy is related to the expression of enzymes involved in 5-FU metabolic pathways, such as thymidylate synthase (TS), thymidine phosphorylase (TP), orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRT) and dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of the four 5-FU metabolic pathway genes on the outcomes of patients enrolled in JCOG1202. Methods: Tumor cell RNA was isolated from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded primary BTC specimens resected in 264 of 440 randomized patients in JCOG1202. The four 5-FU metabolic pathway genes were measured in 183 patients (surgery alone: n = 94; adjuvant S-1: n = 89) who were randomly divided to training (n = 96) or validation set (n = 87). The endpoints of interest were the predictive values of the four genes for the efficacy of adjuvant S-1 on overall survival and relapse-free survival (RFS), and we here report the results regarding RFS. Cut-off levels for mRNA expression were selected in the training set which minimized the bootstrap p-values (2,000 samples) of an interaction term of treatment (surgery alone or S-1) and mRNA expression in a Cox regression model. Results: There were no obvious differences in each mRNA level and clinical characteristics between surgery alone and adjuvant S-1 groups. RFS tended to be better with adjuvant S-1 (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.790, [95% confidence interval: 0.524-1.192] ) compared to surgery alone, which was maintained in the low DPD population (HR = 0.440 [0.216-0.898] in training set and 0.748 [0.334-1.675] in validation set), in the low TP population (HR = 0.709 [0.388-1.296] and 0.602 [0.287-1.262] ), and in the high OPRT population (HR = 0.520 [0.152-1.779] and 0.609 [0.161-2.304] ). Conclusions: The efficacy of adjuvant S-1 on RFS was representative in BTC patients with intratumoral gene expressions of low DPD, low TP, and high OPRT, which was disappeared in the population with high DPD, high TP, and low OPRT. These biomarkers might be useful to predict therapeutic benefits with S-1 containing chemotherapy for BTC.
