Background The Extensive Intraoperative Peritoneal Lavage (EIPL) has been proposed as a practical prophylactic strategy to decrease the risk of peritoneal metastasis in gastric cancer. Objective To explore the safety and efficacy of the EIPL in our locally advanced gastric cancer patients. Methods This study is an open-label, double-center, single-arm phase II clinical trial developed at two tertiary hospitals from Recife (Pernambuco, Brazil). Results The study protocol was prematurely closed due to slow accrual after only 16 patients had been recruited to participate. Eight of them were excluded of the protocol study during the laparotomy, whereas four cases were also excluded from the per-protocol analysis. Two patients had died in hospital before 30 days and six were alive with no evidence of cancer relapses after a follow-up ranging from five to 14,2 months (median of 10.6 months). In the intention-to-treat analysis, three of eight patients suffered of gastrointestinal leakages and two of them had died. On a per-protocol basis, two of four patients presented this type of postoperative complication and one of them had died. All deaths occurred as a somewhat consequence of gastrointestinal leakages. Conclusion We could not make any conclusion about the safety and efficacy of the EIPL, but the possibility of this approach might increase the rate of gastrointestinal leakage is highlighted.

AbstractWhether extensive intraoperative peritoneal lavage (EIPL) after gastrectomy is beneficial to patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (AGC) is not clear. This phase 3, multicenter, parallel-group, prospective randomized study (NCT02745509) recruits patients between April 2016 and November 2017. Eligible patients who had been histologically proven AGC with T3/4NxM0 stage are randomly assigned (1:1) to either surgery alone or surgery plus EIPL. The results of the two groups are analyzed in the intent-to-treat population. A total of 662 patients with AGC (329 patients in the surgery alone group, and 333 in the surgery plus EIPL group) are included in the study. The primary endpoint is 3-year overall survival (OS). The secondary endpoints include 3-year disease free survival (DFS), 3-year peritoneal recurrence-free survival (reported in this manuscript) and 30-day postoperative complication and mortality (previously reported). The trial meets pre-specified endpoints. Estimated 3-year OS rates are 68.5% in the surgery alone group and 70.6% in the surgery plus EIPL group (log-rank p = 0.77). 3-year DFS rates are 61.2% in the surgery alone group and 66.0% in the surgery plus EIPL group (log-rank p = 0.24). The pattern of disease recurrence is similar in the two groups. In conclusion, EIPL does not improve the 3-year survival rate in AGC patients.

15074 Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy has demonstrated small but significant survival benefit in locally advanced gastric cancer in several meta-analyses, while adjuvant CITX showed improved outcome of patients (pts) compared to chemotherapy alone in a few trials. However, optimal chemotherapy regimen remains to be determined. We conducted a randomized trial comparing oral (PO) CITX with intravenous (IV) CITX in gastric cancer pts with curative resection. Methods: All enrolled pts underwent radical surgery with at least D2 dissection. After stratification for pathologic stage (IB or II vs. III) and primary tumor size (=5 cm vs. >5 cm), pts were randomized to IV CITX (5-FU 500 mg/m2 weekly for 24 weeks, MMC 8 mg/m2 every 6 weeks x 4) or PO CITX (UFT 400–600 mg/day for 12 months). Pts in both arms received PSK 3 g/day PO for 4 months. The planned target number of pts was 368 to prove the non-inferiority of PO CITX compared to IV CITX in overall survival. Results: A total of 82 pts (stage IB: 6, II: 29, IIIA: 30, IIIB: 17; 44 in IV arm, 38 in PO arm) were enrolled between May 2002 and October 2005, when the trial was closed due to poor accrual. Pts characteristics were well balanced. With a median follow-up of 39 months (14–55 months) in survivors, there were no significant differences in 3-year disease-free survival (82% vs. 61%, p=0.302) and overall survival (84% vs. 79%, p=0.838) between IV and PO arms. No grade 4 toxicity was observed in both arms. IV arm demonstrated higher incidence of grade 2 or 3 neutropenia (79% vs. 52%, p=0.025), thrombocytopenia (19% vs. 0%, p=0.008), and vomiting (36% vs. 9%, p=0.013). Conclusions: Although accrual was well below that planned, the results of this trial suggest that PO CITX with UFT might have similar efficacy with lower toxicity profile compared with 5-FU and MMC CITX in adjuvant treatment for gastric cancer.
