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.

AbstractThis study aims to evaluate the performance of a radiomic signature-based model for predicting recurrence-free survival (RFS) of locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC) using preoperative contrast-enhanced CT. This retrospective study included a training cohort (349 patients) and an external validation cohort (61 patients) who underwent curative resection for LAGC in 2010 without neoadjuvant therapies. Available preoperative clinical factors, including conventional CT staging and endoscopic data, and 438 radiomic features from the preoperative CT were obtained. To predict RFS, a radiomic model was developed using penalized Cox regression with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator with ten-fold cross-validation. Internal and external validations were performed using a bootstrapping method. With the final 410 patients (58.2 ± 13.0 years-old; 268 female), the radiomic model consisted of seven selected features. In both of the internal and the external validation, the integrated area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values of both the radiomic model (0.714, P < 0.001 [internal validation]; 0.652, P = 0.010 [external validation]) and the merged model (0.719, P < 0.001; 0.651, P = 0.014) were significantly higher than those of the clinical model (0.616; 0.594). The radiomics-based model on preoperative CT images may improve RFS prediction and high-risk stratification in the preoperative setting of LAGC.

TPS180 Background: Prognosis for locally advanced gastric cancer, such as clinical T4 disease, bulky nodal involvement, type 4 and large type 3 gastric cancer, was not satisfactory even by D2 gastrectomy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is another promising approach. In our phase I study, neoadjuvant chemotherapy of S-1 and oxaliplatin (SOX) had manageable toxicities and good pathological complete response rate (33%) in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. Based on the results of this phase I study, we initiate a multi-institutional, single-arm, open label, phase II study (Neo G-SOX PII study). The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy of S-1 and oxaliplatin (SOX) followed by gastrectomy with D2/3 lymph node dissection; clinical T4; clinically resectable gastric cancer of type 4 or large type 3 (over 8 cm); bulky nodal involvement around major branched arteries to the stomach Methods: Eligibility criteria include histologically proven adenocarcinoma of the stomach; clinical T4; clinically resectable gastric cancer of type 4 or large type 3 (over 8 cm); bulky nodal involvement around major branched arteries to the stomach; resectable peritoneal dissemination (pathological CY1 or P1, except for clinical CY1 or P1). Patients receive two cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 (80 mg/m2, p.o., days 1-14 followed by 1 week rest) and oxaliplatin (130 mg/m2 at day 1), followed by D2 or higher surgery with no residual disease. Patients with pathological R0/1 resection received S-1 (80 mg/m2, p.o., days 1-28 followed by 2 week rest) for 1 year as adjuvant chemotherapy. Primary endpoint is curative resection rate. Key secondary endpoints include pathological response, R0/1 resection rate, dose-intensity, overall survival, relapse free survival and safety. We set the threshold curative resection rate at 65% and the expected curative resection rate at 80%. Given a one-sided α of 0.1 and statistical power of 80%, 40 patients was required.

4562 Background: A few studies reported the association between helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and better overall survival (OS) in resected gastric cancer patients (pts). Methods: We investigated the HP infection status and its association with clinicopathologic characteristics in 210 locally advanced gastric cancer patients (stage IB: 18, II: 61, IIIA: 62, IIIB: 31, IV: 38) who underwent adjuvant chemotherapy (CTX) after curative resection (≥D2 dissection). HP infection status in hematoxlin and eosin stained peritumoral tissue was graded according to the updated Sydney System and categorized as HP(-) (normal or mild infection) and HP(+) (moderate or marked infection) (Am J Surg Pathol 20:1161, 1996). Twenty-two pts received 5-FU, doxorubicin (DOX) CTX (5- FU 500 mg/m2 weekly for 36 wks, DOX 40 mg/m2 q 3 weeks x 12) with or without OK432, while 188 pts underwent 5-FU, mitomycin-C (MMC), and polysaccharide-K (PSK) CTX (5-FU 500 mg/m2 weekly for 24 wks, MMC 8 mg/m2 q 6 wks x 4, PSK 3 g/day for 16 wks) (Br J Cancer 84:186, 2001, Hepatogastroenterol 54:290, 2007). Results: The median follow-up duration of survivors was 125 (107–155) months. HP (-) was significantly correlated with Bormann type IV, larger tumor size (>5.5cm),and stage IIIB. In univariate analysis, patients with HP(-) (104 pts) demonstrated significantly poor 10-year OS compared with those with HP (+) (106 pts) (15.9% vs. 87.7%, p<0.0001). HP(-) was associated with poor outcome in all stages except stage IB (p=0.075). In multivariate analysis, HP(-) was the most significant independent prognostic factor of poor OS (hazard ratio 9.646, 95% CI 5.407–17.206, p<0.0001) followed by advanced stage (p=0.032), Bormann type IV (p=0.037) and old age (p=0.015). Conclusions: HP infection status seems to have strong prognostic significance in locally advanced gastric cancer. HP (-) pts may need intensified adjuvant treatment and careful follow-up.
