Abstract:
e14580 Background: TS-1 has shown good efficacy against unresectable advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Conventionally TS-1 containing chemotherapy (CTx) is performed on 5-weekly or 6-weekly basis. We lack robust evidence for the efficacy and safety of 3-weekly TS-1 containing CTx. In Korea, 3-weekly TS-1 containing CTx can be used as off-label under permission of Health Insurance Review and Assessment service (HIRA). We and HIRA conducted this study to confirm the efficacy and tolerability of 3-weekly TS-1 containing CTx in unresectable AGC. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with unresectable AGC who received 3-weekly TS-1 containing CTx between June 2007 and January 2011. In 3-weekly TS-1 monotherapy, TS-1 40-60mg depending on patient’s body surface area was administered orally twice a day for 14 days followed by a 1-week rest every 3 weeks. In 3-weekly TS-1/cisplatin combination CTx, TS-1 40mg/m 2 was given orally twice a day for 14 days followed by 1-week rest and cisplatin 60 mg/m 2 on day 1 was given by intravenous infusion every 3 weeks. Results: A total of 1372 patients (TS-1 monotherapy: 265 (19.3%), TS-1/cisplatin : 1107 (80.7%)) were enrolled from 31 institutions. Response rate of 3-weekly TS-1 monotherapy was 18.1%. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 5.2 months (95% C.I., 4.5-5.9) and 14.3 months (95% C.I., 10.6-17.9), respectively. Response rate of 3-weekly TS-1/cisplatin was 29.4%. PFS and OS of 3-weekly TS-1/cisplatin were 6.8 months (95% C.I., 6.3-7.4) and 16.1 months (95% C.I., 14.4-17.9) respectively. Common toxicities of TS-1 monotherapy included nausea/vomiting (N/V) (13.6%), anemia (13.2%) and neutropenia (10.2%). However, the incidences of more grade 3/4 toxicities were less than 3.0%. All grades of neutropenia, N/V and anemia occurred in 35.4%, 21.1% and 13.3% of patients receiving 3-weekly TS-1/cisplatin. However, grade 3/4 toxicities including neutropenia, N/V and anemia occurred in only 17.8%, 3.0% and 2.9%. Conclusions: Three-weekly TS-1 monotherapy or TS-1/cisplatin CTx showed good efficacy and well tolerability. Our study suggests that 3-weekly scheduled regimens may be a good treatment option for unresectable AGC patients.
