119 Background: Oral fluoropyrimidine plus cisplatin is widely used as a standard treatment for advanced gastric cancer, but patients (pts) with severe peritoneal metastasis often cannot tolerate this regimen. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of fluorouracil (5-FU), leucovorin (LV), plus paclitaxel (PTX) for peritoneal disseminated gastric cancer with massive ascites or inadequate oral intake. Methods: Peritoneal disseminated gastric cancer with massive ascites or inadequate oral intake were enrolled in Part I (Level 1 (n=6): 5-FU bolus/l- LV div 2hr/PTX div 1hr = 500/250/60, Level 2 (n=6): 600/250/80 mg/m2 (day1, 8, 15, q4w) to determine dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and recommended dose (RD). In Part II (n=19), primary endpoint was completion rate of 2 cycles to evaluate the feasibility of this regimen at RD level. Results: One of Level 1 pts had DLT with grade 4 gastrointestinal perforation. Two of Level 2 pts had DLT (grade 3 febrile neutropenia and grade 3 infection with normal neutrophils) and treatment-related death (TRD) was observed in one patient due to pneumonia with grade 4 neutropenia. The RD was determined to be Level 1. Twenty-five patients were enrolled at RD level: first-line/second-line=18/7, performance status 0/1/2=1/19/5. The completion rate of 2 cycles was 92% and objective response rate of ascites was 45%. Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia was observed in 12% (febrile neutropenia in 8%). Five patients out of 7 second-line patients died within 30 days after last administration of FLTAX (TRD: 1 and disease progression: 4). Conclusions: RD of FLTAX regimen was 5-FU/l-LV/PTX=500/250/60 mg/m2. This regimen was feasible as the first-line treatment against peritoneal disseminated gastric cancer patients with massive ascites or inadequate oral intake. [Table: see text]

144 Background: In Japan, S-1 plus cisplatin is regarded as one of the standard first line treatment of advanced gastric cancer (AGC). However, the prognosis of AGC remains dismal. The development of more effective chemotherapeutic regimen is thus warranted. A combination of irinotecan, cisplatin, and S-1 (IPS) can be a promising triplet therapy for advanced gastric cancer. We conducted a phase I study of IPS to determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended dose (RD), and to assess its safety and antitumor activity in patients with AGC. Methods: This phase I study was designed and conducted in a 3 + 3 manner to determine the recommended dose (RD) of IPS for the subsequent phase II study. Patients received an escalating dose of intravenous irinotecan (level 1: 100/level 2: 125/level 3: 150 mg/m²) on day 1, a fixed dose of intravenous cisplatin (60 mg/m²) on day 1, a fixed dose of S-1 (80 mg/m² b.i.d.) orally on days 1-14, every 4 weeks. Results: Twelve patients were enrolled between June 2013 and February 2017. During the first cycle, one of the six patients in level 1 and two of six patients in level 2 developed the DLT (grade 4 leucocytopenia and grade 3 febrile neutropenia). The MTD of irinotecan was 125 mg/m 2 (level 2) and the RD of irinotecan was considered to be 100 mg/m² (level 1). The most common grade 3 or 4 adverse events included neutropenia 75 % (9/12), anemia 25% (3/12), anorexia 8% (1/12), and febrile neutropenia 17% (2/12). Among six patients with measurable lesions, the response rate was 66.7% (4/6) [95% CI, 33.3-90.7%]. Two patients were performed R0 resection after IPS, with one patient achieved pathological complete response. The median survival time is under analysis. Conclusions: RD of IPS was determined to be 100 mg/m² of irinotecan, 60 mg/m² of cisplatin, and 80 mg/m² of S-1. Our data showed that this regimen provided acceptable antitumor activity and a favorable toxicity profile. Further evaluation of this regimen is warranted.

Abstract Background Individuals with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) who present with severe peritoneal metastasis (SPM) have poor prognosis, and the need to improve treatment for such condition and survival time is not met. Moreover, there are only few data about the second-line treatment for patients with such condition. Methods This retrospective study included patients receiving taxane-based second-line chemotherapy at three institutions in Japan between 2010 and 2016. Patients with AGC who present with SPM were included if they had massive ascites and/or inadequate oral intake requiring intravenous nutritional support. The efficacy and safety of the treatment were evaluated. Results In the present study, 43 (40%) of 108 patients had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status score > 2, and the median serum albumin level of the patients was 3.3 g/mL. Ramucirumab was used in combination with paclitaxel in 21 patients. The median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 5.1 and 2.8 months, respectively. Inadequate oral intake was considered a negative prognostic factor of both OS and PFS in the multivariate analysis. Three treatment-related deaths were observed, which include those attributed to febrile neutropenia, gastrointestinal perforation, and pneumonitis. Common grade > 3 adverse events were neutropenia (35%), leukopenia (30%), anemia (24%), and anorexia (16%). We observed febrile neutropenia in 8% and gastrointestinal perforation in 4% of patients, and such conditions were primarily observed in patients with inadequate oral intake. Conclusions Taxane-based second-line chemotherapy was effective and safe for patients with AGC who present with SPM. Attention must be provided when treating patients with inadequate oral intake as they are likely to have short prognosis and serious toxicities.

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.

174 Background: Although the triplet regimen of docetaxel/cisplatin/S-1 (DCS) has shown promising activity and conversion rate in patients with unresectable metastatic gastric cancer (UMGC) in Japan, it was accompanied by severe adverse events. Recent studies suggested that oxaliplatin was almost as active, and relatively less toxic, than cisplatin in combination regimens for UMGC and can therefore replace cisplatin. The aim of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), recommended dose (RD), and preliminary efficacy of docetaxel/oxaliplatin/S-1 (DOS) instead of DCS in patients with UMGC. Methods: Previously untreated 16 patients with histologically proven UMGC were enrolled. Docetaxel and oxaliplatin were administered intravenously on day 8. S-1 was administered orally twice a day on days 1-14. Each cycle was repeated every 3 weeks. DLTs were evaluated during the first cycle of treatment. Three dose-escalations of DOS were used in this study namely, level 1 (50/100/80 mg/m2), level 2 (50/130/80 mg/m2), and level 3 (60/130/80 mg/m2). Results: Among the six patients, one patient each experienced DLTs (febrile neutropenia and diarrhea) at level 1 and 2 doses, respectively. While two more patients experienced DLTs (febrile neutropenia and diarrhea) after administration of level 3 doses. Therefore, two additional patients were enrolled into the study at level 2. However, both these patients subsequently exhibited DLTs (febrile neutropenia and diarrhea). Therefore, we concluded that the MTD and RD with this regimen were level 2 and level 1, respectively, and that the DLT were grade 3 diarrhea and febrile neutropenia. The overall response rate was 78% (7/9) of the patients with measurable lesions, consisting of two complete response and five partial responses. Five patients underwent conversion surgery. Conclusions: The RD of the 3-weekly DOS regimen in patients with UMGC was docetaxel at 50 mg/m2 and oxaliplatin at 100 mg/m2 on day 8 and S-1 at 80 mg/m2 on days 1-14. The efficacy and ease of administration make the regimen a promising alternative to DCS. A phase II study using this RD regimen is currently underway. Clinical trial information: 000015849.

4559 Background: We conducted a phase I dose-finding study of sorafenib (S) in combination with capecitabine (X) and cisplatin (P) in patients with previously untreated metastatic or inoperable advanced gastric cancer. Methods: Four dose levels of S, X, and P combination were tested. The doses of S (p.o. daily), X (p.o. on days 1–14), and P (i.v. on day 1) were escalated at the following schedule; level 1: S 400 mg/d, X 1,600 mg/m2/d, P 80 mg/m2; level 2: S 800 mg/d, X 1,600 mg/m2/d, P 80 mg/m2; level 3: S 800 mg/d, X 2,000 mg/m2/d, P 80 mg/m2; level 1A: S 800 mg/d, X 1,600 mg/m2/d, P 60 mg/m2. The cycle was repeated every 3 weeks. Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) were evaluated only in the first cycles and a standard 3+3 dose escalation design was implemented. Results: A total 21 pts were enrolled in the study. No DLTs were observed at dose level 1 (n=3). One DLT (grade 3 diarrhea) was noted at dose level 2 (n=6), and 2 DLTs (two grade 4 neutropenias longer than 5 days in duration) were observed at dose level 3 (n=6), which made the level 3 dose the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). However, at cycle 2 and thereafter at dose level 2, the relative dose intensity (RDI) of S and X could not be maintained (mostly below 80%) due to the frequent dose reductions and cycle delays. So, we explored a new dose level (1A) between dose level 1 and 2. Since no DLTs were found in 6 patients at level 1A with RDI mostly above 80% throughout the treatment period, level 1A was determined as recommended dose (RD). Most frequent grade 3 and 4 hematologic toxicities were neutropenia (25.0% of cycles), and most frequent grade 2 and 3 non-hematologic toxicities were hand-foot syndrome (9.4%), asthenia (7.0%), and anorexia (5.5%). The objective responses were confirmed in 10 out of 16 patients with measurable lesions (62.5%; 95% CI, 38.8–86.2%). With a median follow-up of 8.1 months, estimated median progression-free survival was 10.0 months (95% CI, 1.6–18.4 months) and median overall survival has not been reached. Conclusions: Diarrhea and neutropenia were DLTs in this S, X, and P combination. The dose schedule of sorafenib 400 mg po bid daily with capecitabine 800 mg/m2 po bid on days 1–14, and cisplatin 60 mg/m2 iv on day 1 in every 3 weeks is recommended for further development in AGC.

e15546 Background: FOLFOX followed by FOLFIRI regimen has been commonly used in colorectal cancer. This combination has also been evaluated in a number of phase II studies in the first- and second-line treatment setting of advanced gastric cancer. We have evaluated the efficacy and toxicity of modified FOLFOX-4 followed by modified FOLFIRI regimens in advanced gastric cancer patients. Methods: Previously untreated patients with advanced or recurrent gastric cancer were enrolled. As first-line therapy, patients received modified FOLFOX-4, bolus ldLV 50mg followed by a 5-FU bolus 400mg/m2 and 22-hour infusion 600mg/m2 on day 1 and 2, with oxaliplatin 85mg/m2 on day 1 every 14 days. At progression, patients received modified FOLFIRI, bolus ldLV 50mg followed by a 5-FU bolus 400mg/m2 and 22-hour infusion 600mg/m2 on day 1 and 2, with irinotecan 150mg/m2 on day 1 every 14 days as second-line therapy. Results: Fifty-six patients were enrolled in first-line mFOLFOX-4. Of these, 32 (57.1%) patients received sequential mFOLFIRI as second-line chemotherapy. In first- line therapy, mFOLFOX-4 achieved 41.4% (95% CI, 28–54%) partial response and 32.1% (95% CI, 20–45%) stable disease. The median time to progression was 4.2 months (95% CI, 2.8–5.5 months). In second-line therapy, mFOLFIRI achieved 18.8% (95% CI, 4–33%) partial response and 31.3% (95% CI, 14–48%) stable disease. The median time to progression was 3.1 months (95% CI, 1.4–4.7 months). Median survival was 12.8 months (95% CI, 9.5–16.0 months) in overall 56 patients, and median survival of sequential chemotherapy was 13.2 months (95% CI, 9.4–16.9 months) in 32 patients. In first-line mFOLFOX-4, NCI-CTC grade 3/4 hematological toxicities were neutropenia and thrombocytopenia in 28 (7.6%), 1 (0.3%) of the cycles, respectively and neutropenic fever was observed in 7 cycles (1.9%). Grade 1/2 sensory neuropathy was observed in three patients (5.6%). In second-line mFOLFIRI, NCI-CTC grade 3/4 hematological toxicity was neutropenia in 20 (19.8%) of the cycles, and neutropenic fever was observed in 5 cycles (4.6%). Grade 3 diarrhea was observed in one patient (3.1%). Conclusions: As sequential chemotherapy, the mFOLFOX-4 followed by mFOLFIRI regimen is both feasible and safe for advanced gastric cancer patients.
