14155 Background: We investigated the efficacy and safety of an oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and folinic acid (FA) as first-line chemotherapy for elderly patients with advanced gastric cancer. Methods: Chemotherapy-naïve patients (≥65 yr of age) with histologically confirmed, locally advanced or recurrent/metastatic gastric cancer were studied. Chemotherapy consisted of oxaliplatin 100 mg/m2 and FA 100 mg/m2 (2-hour intravenous infusion), then 5-FU 2400 mg/m2 (46-hour continuous infusion) every 14 days. Results: A total of 24 patients were enrolled between September 2003 and July 2005. Of 22 evaluable patients, none achieved complete response (CR) and 11 achieved partial response (PR), resulting in an overall response rate of 50%. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 5.4 months (95% CI: 5.1–5.8 months) and median overall survival (OS) was 7.4 months (95% CI: 4.4–10.4 months). The main toxicities were anemia and leucopenia, which were observed in 39.8% and 19.0%, respectively, of the total cycles administered. There were 2 cycles of grade 4 leucopenia and febrile neutropenia was not observed. Conclusions: This oxaliplatin/5-FU/FA regimen shows good efficacy and an acceptable toxicity profile in elderly patients with advanced gastric cancer. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
