Background.This retrospective study aimed to assess the efficacy and toxicities of second-line chemotherapy with irinotecan, leucovorin, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in metastatic gastric cancer (MGC) patients previously treated with docetaxel and S-1 with or without oxaliplatin (DS/DOS).Patients and Methods.We reviewed the data of patients who had previously been treated with first-line DS/DOS and received biweekly irinotecan-based chemotherapy (FOLFIRI/IFL) between October 2004 and November 2011.Results.A total of 209 cycles were administered to 35 patients, with a median of 4 (range, 1–22) cycles each. The overall response rate in 29 response-assessable patients was 17.2%, including 2 complete and 3 partial responses. The median progression-free and overall survivals were 3.81 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.82–5.80) months and 6.24 (95% CI, 1.44–11.04) months, respectively. The major grade 3/4 toxicity was neutropenia (8.6%).Conclusion.FOLFIRI/IFL chemotherapy showed modest antitumour activity and tolerable toxicities in DS/DOS-treated MGC patients.

15113 Background: First-line chemotherapy for advanced/recurrent gastric cancer has limited efficacy, achieving a median survival time (MST) of about 7 months, while addition of second-line and subsequent chemotherapy may prolong MST to about 11.5 months. In practice, however, about half of patients failing with first-line chemotherapy are unable to receive second-line chemotherapy because of worsening of their performance status (PS), disease progression, or toxicities during protracted first-line chemotherapy. We studied the feasibility of a sequential fixed regimen devised to ensure prompt initiation of second-line chemotherapy after first-line failure. Methods: Between December 2002 and December 2006, patients with advanced or recurrent gastric cancer were enrolled who met the following requirements: 1) major organ function preserved; 2) PS 0–2; 3) presence of at least one evaluable lesion; and 4) written informed consent. The treatment regimen consisted of 3 courses of single-agent S-1 or S-1/cisplatin combination followed by weekly paclitaxel (wPTX). The endpoints of the study were entry to the second-line treatment, time to failure (TTF), and MST. Results: Of 39 patients enrolled, 37 completed first- line S-1. Twenty-eight patients (76%) then received wPTX, 2 non-wPTX chemotherapy, and 6 surgery; only 1 received no additional treatments. Second-line wPTX was followed by a third-line treatment in 23/28 patients (82%). The TTF with the sequential fixed regimen was 7 months. The MST and the 1- and 2-year survival rates in the 37 completing first-line treatment were 14.6 months, 61% and 25%, while those in the 28 switched over to wPTX were 12.5 months, 51% and 17%. Conclusions: Patients with advanced/recurrent gastric cancer treated sequentially with a fixed number of courses of S-1 followed by wPTX may have a good chance of treatment continuation. A sequential fixed regimen may further improve survival of patients with advanced/recurrent gastric cancer only with combinations of currently available drugs. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

64 Background: An altered expression of tumour angiogenesis-related factors has been constantly associated to a more aggressive phenotype and an increased relapse rate in several tumour types, including gastric cancer. Besides correlating with prognosis, tumour-driven angiogenesis seemed also able to influence response/resistance to chemotherapy in pre-clinical models. We examined the role of tumour angiogenesis genotyping in determining clinical outcome in metastatic gastric cancer patients receiving first-line chemotherapy. Methods: VEGF-A, VEGF-C, FLT1, KDR and FLT4 genotyping was performed on gastric tumours from 94 consecutive patients receiving platinum-based first-line chemotherapy. Results: Only theVEGF A rs25648 correlated with RR (PR = 18% among patients showing the VEGF A rs25648 CT or TT genotype vs. 44% among patients showing the VEGF A rs25648 CC genotype, p = 0.04). The VEGF A (rs2010963) and VEGF C (rs4604600 and rs7664413) correlated with mPFS and the VEGF A rs25648 and FLT4 rs307833 correlated with both mPFS and OS. Among other clinical variables tested (sex, age, ECOG performance status, gastrectomy, adjuvant chemotherapy, metastatic sites and second-line chemotherapy) only the use of second-line chemotherapy correlated with improved overall survival (10.2 months vs. 6.3 months for patients who received or did not receive second-line, p= 0.003). At multivariate the VEGF A rs25648 maintained an independent role in determining both median PFS (HR = 1.65 95% CI: 1.12-2.78, p= < 0.0001) and OS (HR = 1.58, 95% CI: 1.17-2.65, p = 0.0003). The use of second-line chemotherapy also showed an independent role in determining median OS (HR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.38-0.87, p= 0.003). Conclusions: VEGF A rs25648 genotyping may help identifying a patients subgroup unlikely to benefit from a first-line, platinum-based combination and potentially candidate to alternative therapy choices. Our data may help designing future clinical trials with the aim to investigate the outcome of different chemotherapy regimens in different patients groups prospectively stratified according to angiogenesis profile.
