Abstract Background There is no currently available treatment for peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. This phase II study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) combined with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) for the treatment of these patients. Methods Neoadjuvant chemotherapy comprised two cycles of HIPEC and four cycles of S-1 plus paclitaxel. HIPEC was administered intraperitoneally with paclitaxel (75 mg/m2). For systemic chemotherapy, paclitaxel was administered intravenously(150 mg/m2) on day 1, and S-1 was administered orally(80 mg/m2/day)on days 1–14 of a 3-week cycle. Another two cycles of HIPEC and four cycles of S-1 plus paclitaxel were administered after second diagnostic staging laparoscopy or CRS. The primary endpoints were treatment efficiency and safety; the secondary endpoint was 3-year overall survival (OS). Results A total of 40 patients were enrolled and 38 patients have been analyzed. Of these, 18 (47.4%) patients received neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy, HIPEC and CRS (conversion therapy group), while 20 patients received only chemotherapy and HIPEC (palliative chemotherapy group). Median OS was markedly improved in the conversion therapy group (21.1 months, 95% confidence interval [CI] 16.7–25.6 months) in comparison with the palliative chemotherapy group(10.8 months, 95%CI 7.3–14.2 months, p = 0.002). After neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy and HIPEC, a second laparoscopic exploration was performed, and the prognosis of patients with low peritoneal cancer index (PCI) (PCI < 6) was significantly better than that of patients with high PCI (PCI ≥ 6)(20.1 vs.11.3 months, p = 0.006). Conclusion Neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy and HIPEC combined with CRS is safe and feasible, and could potentially improve the prognosis of gastric cancer patients with limited peritoneal metastasis. However, further clinical trials are still warranted. Trial registration This study has been registered with ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT02549911. Trial registration date: 15/09/2015.

TPS4142 Background: Complete surgical resections remains the only chance for cure in patients with gastric cancer, but approximately from 40% to 80% of patients still have recurrences and most patients ultimately die from their disease. The recent adjuvant trials in gastric cancer showed significantly improved survival in patients with adjuvant chemotherapy than those with surgery alone. However, further studies need for the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy following D2 dissected gastric cancer patients, especially in advanced gastric cancer. S-1 is an oral anticancer drug, a prodrug of fluorouracil, very effective in gastric cancer. Docetaxel is the first drug that showed survival benefits when added to the two drugs in advanced gastric cancer patients. And docetaxel is also synergistic anti-cancer effect with S-1 in advanced gastric cancer. Base on this background, the aim of this study is to detect a significant increase in 3 –year disease free survival (DFS) of adjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel and S-1(DS) relative to those with S-1 and cisplatin (SP) in patients with stage III gastric cancer Methods: This study is an open-label, phase 3, randomized controlled trial, multicenter in South Korea. Patients with stage III (AJCC 7th edition) gastric cancer who had had curative D2 gastrectomy is randomly assigned to receive adjuvant chemotherapy of eight 3-week cycles of intravenous docetaxel (35 mg/m2 on day 1 and 8 of each cycle) plus oral S-1 (35 mg/m2 twice daily on days 1 to 14 of each cycle) for 6 months (DS) or chemotherapy of eight 3-week cycles of oral S1 plus intravenous cisplatin (60 mg/m2). After satisfying the screening criteria, patients have been randomized to the SD or SP arm in a 1:1 ratio. The randomization is stratified by institution and stage of disease (IIIA vs. IIIB vs. IIIC). The each stratum has been randomized by using the method of randomly permuted block. The primary endpoint is 3 year DFS, will analyze by intention to treat. A total of 290 patients will be enrolled, 67 patients have been treated to day, with continuing accrual. The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01283217).

e15588 Background: This prospective study was performed to assess the efficacy and safety of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with three drugs in patients with curative resection of T3 or T4 advanced gastric cancer. Methods: Patients with curative resection of clinically T3 or T4 advanced gastric cancer were required to be under 75 years of age and to have adequate organ function. After the curative resection of gastric cancer with D2 lymph node dissection and the reconstruction of the alimentary tract, HIPEC was carried out for 30 minutes with 50mg of CDDP, 10mg of MMC, and 1000mg of 5-FU in 5 L saline maintained at 42–43°C. Patients were given an adjuvant S-1 treatment after surgery. Primary endpoint of this study was overall survival. Results: A total of 29 patients were eligible. Pathologically, 8 patients had sub-serosal invasion (pT2(ss)), 18 patients had serosal invasion (pT3), and 3 patients had adjacent organ invasion (pT4). These patients included pT2(ss)pN0 (n=2), pT2(ss)pN1 (n=6), pT3pN0 (n=4), pT3pN1 (n=9), pT3pN2 (n=5), pT4pN0 (n=1), and pT4pN1 (n=2). Median follow-up period was 44 months (10–72 months). Overall 5- year survival rate in all eligible patients was 89.5%. Overall 5-year survival rate in patients with pT2(ss), pT3, or pT4 was 100%, 82.4%, or 100%, respectively. Three patients with pT3 had recurrence of pleural dissemination (n=1), lymph node metastases (n=1), or pulmonary metastases and peritoneal dissemination (n=1). A total of 7 patients had postoperative complications such as continuous pancreatic juice secretion (13.8%), abdominal abscess (10.3%), leakage of the anastomosis (3.4%), and pulmonary insufficiency (10.3%). Conclusions: The present study suggests that HIPEC with three drugs after curative resection of advanced gastric primary cancer is associated with improved overall survival with an acceptable morbidity. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e14656 Background: Gastric cancer (GC) contributes significantly to the burden of cancer death in the United States. Unfavorable prognosis in patients with gastric cancer and peritoneal carcinomatosis (GCPC) is well-documented. In this study, a model predictive of GCPC is proposed, and outcomes in patients with GCPC treated with surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) are assessed. Methods: A single-institution analysis of 112 patients treated for GC between the years 2000 and 2011 was performed. Demographic and clinical-pathologic criteria were entered into univariate and multivariate analyses, to identify criteria independently predictive of GCPC. Overall survival in each cohort was determined via Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results: GCPC developed in 28/112 (25%) of GC patients. Several variables were associated with GCPC by univariate analysis (age, p = 0.018; tumor stage, p = 0.004; tumor location, p = 0.046), but only age (≤60) and tumor stage (T3/T4) were independently predictive of GCPC by multivariate analysis (HR = 3.949, p = 0.024; HR = 3.942, p = 0.049, respectively). Intermediate-term survival was not significantly impacted in nine GCPC patients treated with HIPEC (65% 1-year, 39% 3-year without HIPEC; vs. 73% 1-year, 39% 3-year with HIPEC, p = NS). Conclusions: A model to identify gastric cancer patients at highest risk for GCPC is proposed. Although intermediate term survival in a small number of GCPC patients (9) treated with HIPEC is not significantly improved, emerging experience with increased follow-up with HIPEC in larger cohorts is needed. Earlier application of HIPEC targeted at patients at highest risk may be feasible in utilizing a model predictive of GCPC.
