161 Background: Standard first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer includes combination chemotherapy with a platinum agent and a fluoropyrimidine. The anti–PD-1 humanized monoclonal antibody pembrolizumab (pembro) has shown promising antitumor activity as monotherapy in patients (pts) with advanced gastric cancer. We report preliminary safety data for pts with advanced gastric cancer treated with pembro + cisplatin and 5-FU in the multicohort, phase 2 KEYNOTE-059 study (NCT02335411). Methods: Eligible pts were aged ≥ 18 y and had HER2– relapsed or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, ECOG PS 0-1, and no prior therapy for metastatic disease. Pts received pembro 200 mg + 5-FU 800 mg/m2 (or capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 in Japan) + cisplatin 80 mg/m2 Q3W for 6 cycles followed by pembro + 5-FU for up to 2 y or until confirmed progression, intolerable toxicity, or investigator decision. Primary end point was safety and tolerability of the combination. Results: Of the 17 pts enrolled (10 from Asia, 7 from outside Asia), 70.6% were men, and median age was 58.0 y. Three pts (17.6%) had a prior gastrectomy—2 total, 1 partial. As of the Aug 12, 2015, data cutoff date, median follow-up duration was 3.6 mo (range 2.6-5.4), and pts received a median of 5 treatment cycles (range 3-7). Only 1 pt (5.9%) discontinued treatment (due to progressive disease). There were no treatment-related deaths or discontinuations. Twelve pts (70.6%) experienced treatment-related adverse events (AEs) of any grade, most commonly neutropenia/decreased neutrophils (n = 7, 41.2%), stomatitis (n = 6, 35.3%), and decreased appetite (n = 5, 29.4%). Eight pts (47.1%) experienced ≥ 1 grade 3-4 treatment-related AE; only neutropenia/decreased neutrophils (n = 4 [23.5%] grade 3, n = 3 [17.6%] grade 4) occurred in > 1 pt. AEs of interest based on immune etiology, regardless of attribution by investigator, were grade 2 infusion-related reaction and grade 2 pruritus (n = 1 [5.9%] each). Conclusions: Preliminary data from KEYNOTE-059 suggest the combination of pembro, cisplatin, and 5-FU has a manageable safety profile as first-line therapy in pts with advanced gastric cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT02335411.

Background: The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy and toxicity of a non-platinum based chemotherapy combination using irinotecan associated to bolus 5-FU as first line treatment in advanced gastric cancer. Materiel and methods: Retrospective analysis of a population of patients treated for metastatic and locally advanced gastric cancer with irinotecan and 5-FU as upfront chemotherapy. Results: Thirteen patients were enrolled. The median age was 56 years. Seven patients were males and six were of females. Ten patients had a metastatic disease and three patients had a locally advanced disease. Patients received a total number of 43 cycles of chemotherapy. Overall response rate was 38,4%, median time to progression (TTP) was 3 months, and median overall survival was 4 months. Three patients (23,1%) presented grade 3 /4 neutropenia complicated with an infectious episode with fever in two cases, three patients (23,1%) required blood transfusion for a grade 4 anemia, and one patient (7,6%) was hospitalized for a severe episode of diarrhea. Conclusion: Three weekly irinotecan and bolus 5-FU is an interesting combination as first line treatment of advanced gastric cancer; designed clinical trials are needed to confirm the activity of this combination.

e16017 Camrelizumab combined with SOX regimen in the first-line treatment of unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric cancer£ºA single-arm, prospective, open clinical study. Background: Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors of the digestive system. In China, 80% of patients with gastric cancer are already in advanced or locally advanced stage at the time of detection. Even after receiving radical gastrectomy, more than half of patients will have local recurrence or distant metastasis, and the 5-year survival rate of patients with gastric cancer with metastasis is less than 10%.In recent years, more and more evidence supports the application of immune checkpoint inhibitors in advanced gastric cancer.In 2020, PD-1 was approved for advanced gastric cancer receiving second-line or above treatment in China, which is an affirming of the efficacy of PD-1 in the clinical treatment of gastric cancer. Immunotherapy combined with conventional chemotherapy, this study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of PD1 combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of first-line gastric cancer. Methods: This was a single center, prospective clinical study conducted at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, Jiangsu Province.Patients with newly treated unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma were enrolled.All enrolled subjects were treated with camrelizumab combined with SOX regimen every 3 weeks.The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS).Secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and safety.This study was registered at Chictr.org.cn with the number Chictr2000029691. Results: The study plans to enroll 30 patients, and 16 patients have been included in the study from March 2020 to December 2020. Among them, 7 patients can be evaluated, 14 males, 2 females, ECOG score 0 or 1. Of the 7 patients who can be evaluated for efficacy, 1 achieved PR and 5 achieved SD, ORR was 14.29%, and DCR was 85.71 %. This is the early stage of data analysis, PFS has not yet reached, and the side effects are mild, mainly with grade 1 adverse reactions. The most common AEs are neutropenia (3/7) and decreased appetite (2/7). There were no treatment-related deaths. Conclusions: This study provides preliminary evidence for the first-line treatment of unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma with camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy. The current number of enrolled cases is small, but the preliminary effect of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy in first-line patients with advanced gastric cancer can still be seen. This trial will further explore the clinical efficacy and safety of immunotherapy in the first-line gastric cancer. Clinical trial information: ChiCTR2000029691.

15062 Background: The survival of advanced gastric cancer remains poor, while no chemotherapy regimen was recognized standard. Oxaliplatin and Capecitabine (Xeloda) have demonstrated promising antitumor efficacy in advanced colorectal cancer. The present study was conducted to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of XELOX (Oxaliplatin and Xeloda) regimen in gastric cancer. Methods: Patients with unresectable or metastatic gastric cancer were enrolled into this study. They all receive the XELOX regimens (Oxaliplatin 130mg/ m2 intravenously in 2 hours on day 1 followed by oral capecitabine 1000mg/ m2 twice daily for 14 days every 3 weeks).We evaluated the response every 2 cycles. Results: The median age of the total enrolled 45 patients was 55 years (range, 22–82 years), including 32 male and 13 female. They received a median of 5 cycles (range, 2–8 cycles) of XELOX. 21 of 45 patients (46.7%) achieved an objective response, 1 patient (2.2%) had completed response. 17 patients (37.8%) experienced stable disease. Median time to tumor progression (TTP) and median overall survival were not available yet due to the further follow-up needed. Most toxicity events were mild to moderate in XELOX regimen, with grade 3/4 neutropenia of 8.9 %, thrombocytopenia of 6.7%, anemia of 11.1%, hand-foot syndrome of 6.7 % and diarrhea of 6.7 %. Grade 3 neuropathy was 4.4%. The patients with advanced gastric cancer had a good tolerance to this chemotherapy. Conclusions: XELOX is a highly effective first-line treatment for unrsectable and metastatic gastric cancer. The response rates in this trial seems to be similar to those observed with FU/leucovorin/oxaliplatin combinations. XELOX is tolerable well in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e16034 Background: Apatinib, a small molecule multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor with high selectivity for VEGFR-2, has been approved for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma in China by significantly improving progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Here, we report safety and efficacy data from an open-label, single-arm, multicenter, phase IV trial of apatinib as a third-line or later line treatment for advanced gastric cancer. Methods: Eligible patients had histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma; and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0–2; and adequate haematological and hepatic function; and failure of at least two lines of chemotherapy. Patients received oral apatinib until disease progression, death or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was safety, and secondary endpoints included PFS and OS. Results: The intention-to-treat population (ITT) included 2004 patients. At baseline, the median age was 59 (range, 19-85) years, ECOG performance status of 0/1/2 (%) was 15.4/68.8/15.1, and stage III/IV was 3.5/96.4; 98.8% had metastases, and among which metastatic foci≤2/ > 2 was 64.5/34.2 (%), respectively. 89.6% of the patients were given apatinib 500mg as the initial does and the median treatment duration was 56 days. After a median follow-up of 126.5 days, adverse events (AEs) occurred in 95.1% of the patients and 70.3% were grade ≥3. 87.9% of the patients experienced treatment-related AEs (TRAEs), of which 51% had grade ≥3, 12.3% and 16.8% reduced dose and discontinued the treatment, respectively. 57 (2.9%) TRAEs-related deaths were reported, mainly because of gastrointestinal bleeding (16 cases), upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage (7), cerebral haemorrhage (2), and gastric perforation (1). The incidence of TRAEs of special interest was 74.3%; 38.1% of patients developed grade≥3, mainly including hypertension (26.3%), bleeding (5.1%), proteinuria (4.5%), and hand-foot syndrome (3.1%). In an ITT population, median PFS was 2.7 months (95%CI 2.23-2.79) and median OS was 5.8 months (95% CI 5.42-6.11). Conclusions: This study confirms that apatinib has a well-established and manageable safety profile and survival benefit as third or later line therapy for patients with advanced gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Clinical trial information: NCT02426034.
