106 Background: This trial sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of preoperative chemotherapy with DTX plus S-1 for advanced gastric cancer with poor prognosis even after R0 curative resection. Methods: Preoperative staging was confirmed by laparoscopy. Eligibility criteria included 1) negative peritoneal cytology, H0, P0 and M0, 2) possible curative resection, and 3) ECOG PS 0-1. Patients received DTX (35 mg/m2) on days 1 and 15, and daily oral administration of S-1 (80 mg/m2/day) for days 1–14 every 4 weeks of 2 courses, followed by gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy. The primary endpoint was pathological response rate (pRR), which was defined as degeneration occupying more than one-third of the cross-sectional surface area of the tumor. A sample size of 45 was planned for the expected pRR of 40% and threshold value of 20%, with one-sided alpha of 0.05 and beta of approximately 0.1. This study was registered in the UMIN clinical trial registry (UMIN000000875). Results: A total of 47 patients were centrally registered between November 2007 and November 2009 from 14 centers. All patients were eligible for analysis. The median age was 63 (range 37–79); male/female: 36/11; PS0/1:41/6; and clinical stage IIIA/IIIB: 31/16. The target pRR was 47% (90% CI, 34–60%; p < 0.0001). Forty six patients (98%) underwent surgery, in whom curative resection was performed in 44 patients, and 37 patients completed the protocol treatment. The response to preoperative chemotherapy was PR/SD/PD/NE in 16/24/2/5 with a response rate of 34%. The most common toxicities of neoadjuvant chemotherapy were grade 3/4 neutropenia (42%), febrile neutropenia (4%), grade 2 anorexia (21%), and fatigue (15%). Seven did not complete the neoadjuvant therapy due to 2 allergic reaction, 1 grade 3 anorexia, 2 grade 2 nausea and anorexia, 2 PD (all 7 had gastrectomy). Major operative morbidity included pancreatic fistula (9%), abdominal abscess (11%), pneumonia (2%), and anastomotic leakage (0%). No patients died due to surgical complications. Conclusions: The combination of DTX and S-1 was well tolerated and promising as a preoperative chemotherapy regimen for patients with potentially resectable advanced gastric cancer.

96 Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate feasibility and safety of neoadjuvant docetaxel, oxaliplatin, and S-1 (DOS) chemotherapy in patients with potentially resectable adenocarcinoma of stomach or gastroesophageal junction. Methods: Forty-one patients with clinical stage T3-4N0M0 or T2-4N+M0 determined by CT, endoscopic ultrasonography, and laparoscopy were enrolled between DEC 2008 and MAR 2010. Gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection was conducted after 3 cycles of DOS chemotherapy. DOS chemotherapy consists of docetaxel 50 mg/m2 iv (day1), oxaliplatin 100 mg/m2 iv (day1), and S-1 40 mg/m2 po bid (days1-14) at 3 weeks interval. After curative gastrectomy, the patients were given 1 year of adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 (40 mg/m2 D1-28, every 6 weeks). Results: All patients finished the planned neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Twenty-three (56%) patients achieved a partial response, and the remaining 18 patients had stable disease by CT scan after 3 cycles of DOS chemotherapy. No disease progression was observed during the neoadjuvant chemotherapy. A median 4.7 weeks (range, 4.0-7.6) after the start of the 3rd cycle of DOS chemotherapy, 39 (95%) patients underwent R0 resection with no pathologic residual disease in 4 (10%) patients. Hematologic toxicities were common including grade 4 neutropenia (32%), grade 3 thrombocytopenia (17%), and febrile neutropenia (10%). However, hematologic toxicities were generally transient and manageable. There were no grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicities with frequency > 5% of patients. With all toxicities taken together, 21 (51%) patients experienced grade 3 or 4 toxicities (except grade 3 neutropenia). There was no treatment-related death, and surgical complications included only mild wound problem in 4 (10%) patients. Conclusions: In this study, neoadjuvant DOS chemotherapy could induce a sufficient down-staging and R0 resection of locally advanced gastric cancer with mild and manageable toxicities. A phase III randomized trial is planned for evaluating the benefit of neoadjuvant DOS chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. [Table: see text]

136 Background: Gastric cancer is a worldwide common malignant disease with a high mortality rate. Adjuvant chemotherapy did not result in a survival advantage in Caucasian populations. Therapeutic chemotherapy options consist of either monotherapy or of polychemotherapy and have been applied as neoadjuvant chemotherapy with combinations of epirubicin, cyclophosphamide and 5-fluorouracil or capecitabine as well as cisplatin or oxaliplatin. The aim of this retrospective analysis was to investigate the use of the EOX regimen in the neoadjuvant setting which had shown activity in advanced gastric cancer. Methods: 23 patients (pts) (median age: 70, range 36-85, years; 16 pts >65 years) with locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the upper GI-tract received 3 courses of preoperative chemotherapy with epirubicin 50 mg/m2, day1, oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2, day 1, and capecitabine 2,000 mg/m2, days 1-14, of a 3-week cycle. Toxicity was assessed by CTC (Common Toxicity Criteria) after every cycle. Progression free survival (PFS) was defined as time from surgery to disease progression assessed by PET-CT which was performed at diagnosis and after 3 cycles chemotherapy. Results: 20 pts completed all three planned cycles of preoperative chemotherapy, 2 pts received only 1 cycle because of rapid tumor progression and 1 pt. is currently still on treatment. 16 pts. underwent surgery with curative resection with 2 pCRs on pathological review. 6 pts. remained inoperable despite chemotherapy and 1 pt is currently scheduled for surgery. After surgery, 2 pts. died after a median of 9 months (8-10). 4 pts. died without surgery due to disease progression. After a median follow-up of eight months (range 5-26), median PFS and overall survival was not reached yet. In 2 pts., grade 3-4 toxicities including nausea, diarrhea and hand-foot syndrome and one non-life-threatening pulmonary embolism occurred. Conclusions: In summary, EOX is a well tolerated, safe, and efficacious neoadjuvant treatment in also elderly patients with locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the upper GI-tract. However, more studies with a larger population are needed to corroborate the current results of this promising treatment schedule. [Table: see text]

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.

4529 Background: Intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy is a promising treatment option for gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis. Although a phase III study failed to show a statistically significant superiority of IP paclitaxel (PTX) combined with S-1 and intravenous PTX over S-1/cisplatin (SP), the standard of care as a first-line treatment in Japan, the sensitivity analysis suggested clinical efficacy of the IP PTX. Thus, attempts to combine IP PTX with other systemic therapies with higher efficacy have been warranted. After a dose-finding study, we sought to explore efficacy of a new regimen that combined IP PTX with SP. Methods: Gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis confirmed by diagnostic imaging, laparoscopy or laparotomy were enrolled in the phase II multi-institutional prospective trial. In addition to the established SP regimen (S-1 administered orally at a dose of 80 mg/m2 bid for 21 days followed by a 14-day rest and cisplatin administered intravenously at a dose of 60 mg/m2 on day 8), IP PTX was administered on days 1, 8 and 22 at a dose of 20 mg/m2. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS) rate at one year after treatment initiation. Secondary endpoints are progression free survival (PFS), response rate and toxicity. Results: Fifty-three patients were enrolled and fully evaluated for OS and toxicity. The median number of courses was 7 (range 1-20). The 1-year OS rate was 74% (95% CI, 60-83%). The median survival time was 19.4 months (95% CI, 16.7 months-). The 1-year PFS rate was 57% (95% CI, 42-69%). The overall response rate was 20% (95% CI, 1-72%) in 5 patients with target lesions. Cancer cells ceased to be detected by peritoneal cytology in 23 (64%) of 36 patients. Fourteen (26%) patients underwent gastrectomy after response to chemotherapy. The incidences of grade 3/4 hematological and non-hematological toxicities were 43% and 47%, respectively. The frequent grade 3/4 toxicities included neutropenia (23%), anemia (29%), diarrhea (13%) and anorexia (17%). Intraperitoneal catheter and implanted port-related complications were observed in 4 patients. There was 1 treatment-related death. Conclusions: IP PTX combined with SP is well tolerated and active in gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis. Clinical trial information: UMIN000023000 .

4542 Background: A phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of weekly intravenous and intraperitoneal paclitaxel combined with S-1 was performed in gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis. Methods: Gastric cancer patients with peritoneal dissemination and/or cancer cells on peritoneal cytology were enrolled. Paclitaxel was administered intravenously at 50 mg/m2 and intraperitoneally at 20 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8. S-1 was administered at 80 mg/m2/day for 14 consecutive days, followed by 7 days rest. The primary endpoint was the 1-year overall survival rate. Secondary endpoints were the response rate, efficacy against malignant ascites and safety. Results: Forty patients were enrolled, including 21 with primary tumors with peritoneal dissemination confirmed by staging laparoscopy, 13 with peritoneal recurrence, and 6 with positive peritoneal cytology only. The median number of courses administered was 7 (range 1–23). The 1-year overall survival rate was 78% (95% CI, 65–90%). The overall response rate was 56% (95% CI, 32–79%) in 18 patients with target lesions. Malignant ascites disappeared or decreased in 13 of 21 (62%) patients. The incidences of grade 3/4 hematological and non- hematological toxicities were 40% and 15%, respectively. The frequent grade 3/4 toxicities included neutropenia (38%), leukopenia (18%), anemia (10%), and nausea (8%). Catheter obstruction observed in one patient was the only complication related to the peritoneal access device or intraperitoneal infusion. There were no treatment-related deaths. Conclusions: Combination chemotherapy of intravenous and intraperitoneal paclitaxel with S-1 is well tolerated and active in gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis.

e15580 Background: Pharmacogenetic advances in cancer chemotherapy have the potential to predict clinical benefit to particular regimens. Oxaliplatin and irinotecan have shown to be effective in the treatment of gastric cancer. We assessed whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ERCC1, GST, TS, and UGT1A1predicted overall survival in gastric cancer patients receiving FOLFOX and/or FOLFIRI chemotherapy. Methods: Total genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood of patient. The PCR- restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method was applied to detect the known variant sites of ERCC1, GST, TS, and UGT1A1. Results: Response rate of FOLFOX (N=75) was 24%. Grade 3–4 neutropenia and neurotoxicity were observed 34.7% and 16%, respectively. TTP and OS of 1st line administration of FOLFOX (N=35) was 3.1 months (95% CI, 0.1–6.1 months) and 13.9 months (95% CI, 12.2–15.6 months). Only the GSTM1 positive genotype showed a significantly better time to progression (P=0.023). But significant genotype variation of TS, GST and ERCC1,which assumed to affect to activity of oxaliplatin was not observed to RR, toxicity, and overall survival. Response rate of FOLFIRI (N=74) was 23%. Grade 3–4 neutropenia and diarrhea were observed 55.4% and 9.5%, respectively. TTP and OS of 1st line administration of FOLFIRI (N=33) was 4.9 months (95% CI, 3.5–6.4 months) and 19.0 months (95% CI, 8.5–29.5months). Low expression type (2R/2R, 2R/3C, and 3C/3C) of TS was associated with high incidence of grade ≥3 neutropenia. But significant genotype variation of UGT1A1,which assumed to affect to toxicity of irinotecan was not observed to RR, toxicity, and survival. Conclusions: In this study, GSTM1 positive genotype showed a significantly better time to progression in the advanced gastric cancer treated with FOLFOX. Low expression type (2R/2R, 2R/3C, and 3C/3C) of TS was associated with high incidence of grade ≥3 neutropenia in the advanced gastric cancer treated with FOLFIRI. Well designed prospective trial will be clearly identifying relations between chemotherapy and genetic variations. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

122 Background: Previous phase II trial with combination therapy of S-1 plus oxaliplatin (SOX) demonstrated high response rate and well tolerability in patients with untreated advanced gastric cancer. The aim of this phase II trial was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SOX as neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Methods: Eligibility criteria included a histologically proven AGC with stage IIIb, IIIc (AJCC 7th edition), at least 1 measurable lesion, no prior chemotherapy, ECOG 0∼2, adequate hepatic, renal, and bone marrow function. Enrolled patients were staged by EUS and CT. The neoadjuvant chemotherapy consisted of 3-4 cycles of oxaliplatin (130 mg/m2) on day 1 and S-1 (80 mg/m2/day) for 14 days with 7 days rest. After chemotherapy, the patients underwent surgery. Results: From Dec 2009 to Sep 2010, 35 patients (IIIb; 19pts, IIIc; 16pts) were enrolled. The median age of the patients was 54.6 years (range; 20-72 y). All patients were available for evaluating the clinical responese and adverse events. The overall response rate was 68.5% (1CR, 23 PR, 9 SD, 2 PD). 32 patients underwent surgical resection. Of them, 27 patients underwent standard D2 surgery and 5 patients had palliative surgery. 25 patients had R0 resection. Postoperative pathological examination showed that most of the surgical patients were in T4a stage. According to Lauren classification, 71.9% patiens (23/32pts) were diffuse type, SOX showed higher respons rate (1CR, 20 PR, 2 SD, RR: 91.3%) among these patients. Major grade 3/4 hematological toxicities were anemia (5.7%), neutropenia (5.7%) and liver dysfunction (8.6%) and non-hematological toxicities were anorexia (5.7%) and vomiting (11.4%). But most of the adverse events were managable. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 plus oxaliplatin (SOX) showed high response rate and and R0 resection rate for locally advanced GC, especially for diffuse type patients. All the patients did not have severe toxicity during the process of chemotherapy. This is the preliminary results, and the survival benefit in locally advanced GC patients that respond to SOX neoadjuvant chemotherapy needs to be addressed by a randomized-controlled trial. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

4072 Background: S-1, a novel oral fluoropyrimidine, plus cisplatin (SP) regimen is one of the standard chemotherapy as first-line for advanced gastric cancer. ToGA study demonstrated that trastuzumab (T-mab) combination regimen improved the overall survival of patients with HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer. However, there was no study evaluating the efficacy and the safety of T-mab in combination with S-1 plus cisplatin (SP) regimen. Therefore, we planned this study to examine the efficacy and the safety of the SP plus T-mab. Methods: Patients confirmed to be HER2-positive by IHC and/or FISH (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+ and FISH positive) received S-1 at 80 mg/m2 po, day 1-14, and cisplatin 60 mg/m2 iv, day 1 plus trastuzumab 8 mg/kg iv, day 1 (6 mg/kg iv, d1 from 2nd course), repeated every 3 weeks until disease progression. Primary endpoint was response rate (RR). Secondary endpoints were progression-free survival, overall survival and safety. The threshold response rate was defined as 35%, and the expected rate was set at 50% with a 80% power and a 1-sided alpha value of 0.1 and the calculated sample size was 50 patients. Results: A total of 56 patients (median age 66) were enrolled in this study. The efficacy and the safety analyses were conducted in the full analysis set of 53 patients. (Two patients were excluded for ineligibility and one was for no treatment). The confirmed RR assessed by the independent review committee was 67.9% (95% CI: 53.7 – 80.1), and the disease control rate was 94.3%. The median PFS was 7.1 months (95% CI: 6.0 – 10.1). The median OS was not reached. (The median follow-up time: 9.2 months) The main grade 3/4 adverse events were as follows: neutropenia 34%, leucopenia 8%, anorexia 23%, diarrhea 8%, hypoalbuminemia 4%, vomiting 6%, and increased creatinine 6%. Conclusions: This tri-week regimen with SP plus T-mab showed promising results in patients with HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer. Clinical trial information: UMIN000005739.
