4109 Background: TyTAN is a randomized phase III study to evaluate lapatinib (L) plus paclitaxel (P) in pretreated HER2 amplified (HER2+) advanced gastric cancer (AGC). The disease characteristics and GC treatment pattern differed in Japan and in China, so a subgroup analysis was done for subjects recruited in mainland China. Methods: AGC subjects with prior 5-FU and/or cisplatin and HER2 amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in tumor tissue were randomized 1:1 to L (1500mg QD) and P (80mg/m2, Day 1, 8, 15 q4w) or P alone (80mg/m2, Day 1, 8, 15 q4w). 1st endpoint was overall survival (OS). 2nd endpoints included progression free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR) and safety. A total of 95 subjects recruited from mainland China. Results: TyTAN was not significant in OS (HR0.84), but 2 months OS improvement was observed in L+P arm. The results from Chinese subgroup are shown in the Table. The most common adverse events in Chinese subjects were similar as in whole population (neutropenia, diarrhea, rash, leukopenia, anemia, fatigue). Compare to the overall results, less Chinese subjects reported nausea and vomiting. Conclusions: This analysis showed that there were clear regional differences as observed between subjects in China and Japan. The addition of L to P was associated with a clinically meaningful benefit in subjects recruited from mainland China. These data warrants further prospective evaluations on the impact of regional differences in the outcome of HER+ GC in East Asian patients. Clinical trial information: NCT00486954. [Table: see text]

180 Background: In advanced gastric cancer (AGC), there are many reports about prognostic factors for overall survival (OS), and we have proposed a prognostic index using four prognostic factors (PS, number of metastatic sites, prior gastrectomy and ALP; Oncologist 2014) based on a phase III trial JCOG 9912 for the first-line treatment (Lancet Oncol. 2009). However, there is no report about prognostic factors for progression free survival (PFS). In this ancillary study, we explored whether prognostic factors are similar or not between OS and PFS. Methods: The subjects of this study were selected from the JCOG9912 which intended to confirm the superiority of irinotecan plus cisplatin (IP) and the non-inferiority of S-1 to5-FU for patients with AGC. Of all enrolled patients in JCOG9912, those who had target lesions and whose complete data were available were analyzed with multivariate analysis using Cox proportional hazard model. Results: 492 out of the 703 pts of JCOG9912 were analyzed, who received either 5-FU (n=163), IP (n=164) or S-1(n=165). The median PFS was 3.7 months for all the subjects, and 2.2 months for 5-FU, 4.9 months for IP and 3.8 months for S-1. Multivariate analysis in all 492 analyzed patients demonstrated seven independent prognostic factors for PFS (Table). Prognostic factors in each treatment were; sex (HR 1.66, 95%CI 1.11-2.49), PS (1.51, 1.04-2.18), Ca (0.39, 0.17-0.86), GPT (2.46, 1.30-4.66) and LDH (1.67, 1.16-2.48) in 5-FU, sex (1.77, 1.10-2.86) in IP, and Na (2.00, 1.01-3.99) and creatinine clearance (0.37, 0.15-0.93) in S-1. Conclusions: There were no common prognostic factors among the three treatment regimens. Prognostic factors for PFS may be different by treatment regimen, although further investigations with larger sample size are needed. [Table: see text]

119 Background: Cisplatin and S-1 (CS) regimen is one of the standard chemotherapy as first-line for advanced gastric cancer. Docetaxel is a well-known agent with high anti-tumor effect for peritoneal metastasis from gastric cancer. A previous phase III study showed docetaxel plus S-1 (DS) regimen was recommended especially for advanced gastric cancer without measurable lesions. However, there was no study comparing the efficacy and safety of these two regimens. Methods: Eligibility criteria included HER2-negative unresectable or recurrent gastric adenocarcinoma, no measurable lesion according to RECIST v1.1, no massive peritoneal metastasis, no prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy, age ≤75, PS 0-2, adequate oral intake, and preserved organ functions. Patients were randomized to receive CS (cisplatin 60 mg/m² on day 8, S-1 40–60 mg twice a day for 3 weeks, every 5 weeks) or DS (docetaxel 40 mg/m² on day 1, S-1 40–60 mg twice a day for 2 weeks, every 3 weeks). Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), and secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and adverse events. Results: Sixty-one patients were randomly allocated the CS group (n = 31) or the DS group (n = 30) between Aug 2011 and Sep 2015. All were unresectable primary cases, and baseline characteristics were well balanced between the two groups. One patient was ineligible due to HER2-positive. There was no treatment-related death. The main grade 3 or worse adverse events were neutropenia (27% in CS vs. 40% in DS), anemia (10% in CS vs. 10% in DS), fatigue (13% in CS vs. 7% in DS), anorexia (10% in CS vs. 3% in DS), and diarrhea (10% in CS vs. 3% in DS). The median OS time were 15.8 months in CS and 20.0 months in DS, respectively (log-rank P = 0.113). Hazard ratio for OS was 0.617 (95%CI, 0.337 – 1.128). The median PFS time were 9.6 months in CS and 11.2 months in DS, respectively (log-rank P = 0.196). Hazard ratio for PFS was 0.698 (95%CI, 0.404 – 1.208). Conclusions: DS showed less toxic and more active profiles than CS for treatment of advanced gastric cancer without measurable lesions. The clinical benefit of DS regimen should be demonstrated in a phase III study. Clinical trial information: UMIN000006179.

Purpose: To compare fluorouracil (FU) alone with FU plus cisplatin (FP) and with uracil and tegafur plus mitomycin (UFTM) for patients with advanced gastric cancer in a prospective, randomized, controlled trial. Patients and Methods: A total of 280 patients with advanced gastric cancer were randomly allocated and analyzed for survival, response, and toxicity. The survival curves were compared between groups by log-rank test on an intent-to-treat basis. Results: At the interim analysis, the UFTM arm showed a significantly inferior survival with higher incidences of hematologic toxic effects than did control arm FU alone, and the registration to UFTM was terminated. Both investigational regimens, FP and UFTM, had a significantly higher incidence of hematologic toxic effects than FU alone, although the effects were manageable. The overall response rates of the FU-alone, FP, and UFTM arms were 11%, 34%, and 9%, respectively. The median progression-free survival was 1.9 months with FU alone, 3.9 months with FP, and 2.4 months with UFTM, respectively. Although FP demonstrated a higher response rate (P < .001) and longer progression-free survival than did FU alone (P < .001), no differences in overall survival were observed between the arms. The median survival times and 1-year survival rates were 7.1 months and 28% with FU, 7.3 months and 29% with FP, and 6.0 months and 16% with UFTM, respectively. Conclusion: Neither investigational regimen, FP nor UFTM, showed a survival advantage as compared with FU alone. FU alone will remain a reference arm in our future trial for advanced gastric cancer.
