e15574 Background: Although the prognosis of gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis is extremely poor, we previously showed the significant efficacy of S-1 plus cisplatin for limited peritoneal dissemination, and favorable outcome following curative resection. We conducted a phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of induction chemotherapy with docetaxel, cisplatin, and S-1 (DCS) triplet regimen for patients (pts) with gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis. Methods: The key eligibility criteria were gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis or positive peritoneal cytology, without any other distant metastases, age between 20 and 75 years old, PS 0 or 1, capable of oral administration, and adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal function. Pts received three 28-day cycles of DCS (cisplatin of 60 mg/m2, docetaxel of 40mg/m2 on day 1, and S-1 of 80 mg/m2 from day 1 to 14). Following evaluation for resectability, pts received D2 gastrectomy if R0 was possible. Primary endpoint was R0 resection rate. Secondary endpoints were clinical response of peritoneal metastasis, overall response, pathological response, adverse events, progression free survival, and overall survival. Sample size was determined to have 80% power for detecting 20% improvement of R0 resection rate over 45% baseline at one-sided alpha of 0.1. Results: Between June 2011 and April 2015, 30 pts were enrolled. All pts started DCS and were included in the analysis. Three cycles of DCS (80%) were completed in 24 pts (80%). The most frequent grade 3/4 toxicity was neutropenia (60%). Complete response of peritoneal metastasis was observed in 16 pts (53%), 21 pts underwent surgery, and 14 pts achieved R0 resection (47%; 95%CI, 28-66%). When the extent of peritoneal metastasis was classified as P0CY1, P1, P2, and P3 according to the Japanese classification, R0 resection rate for each group was 63%, 60%, 46%, or 0%, respectively. Conclusions: Induction chemotherapy with DCS is safe, and could achieve R0 resection in some patients with limited peritoneal metastasis or positive peritoneal cytology. However, the efficacy seems to be similar to the conventional S-1 plus cisplatin. Clinical trial information: UMIN000004932.

4039 Background: Intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy with taxanes provides sustained high local concentrations, and the efficacy of IP paclitaxel (PTX) has been shown in ovarian cancer. We previously reported the safety and efficacy of IP PTX plus systemic chemotherapy in clinical trials. Capecitabine/cisplatin (XP) is one of the standard regimens for the first-line treatment of advanced gastric cancer worldwide. We designed a new regimen combining IP docetaxel (DOC) with XP, and the recommended dose of IP DOC was determined to be 10 mg/m2 in a phase I study. A phase II study of XP plus IP DOC was performed in gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis. Methods: Gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis confirmed by diagnostic imaging, laparoscopy or laparotomy were enrolled. DOC was administered intraperitoneally at 10 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8. Cisplatin was administered intravenously at 80 mg/m2 on day 1, and capecitabine was administered at 1000 mg/m2 bid for 14 consecutive days, repeated every 21 days. The primary endpoint was the 1-year overall survival (OS) rate. Secondary endpoints were response rate, negative conversion rate on peritoneal cytology and safety. Results: Out of 50 patients enrolled, 48 patients received protocol treatment, and were evaluated for OS and toxicity. The median number of courses was 6 (range 1-15). The 1-year OS rate was 75% (95% confidence interval, 60-85%). The best overall response was stable disease in all the three patients with target lesions. Cancer cells ceased to be detected by peritoneal cytology in 28 (76%) of 37 patients. Nineteen patients underwent gastrectomy after response to chemotherapy. The incidences of grade 3/4 hematological and non-hematological toxicities were 42% and 48%, respectively. The frequent grade 3/4 toxicities included neutropenia (21%), leukopenia (8%), anemia (29%), anorexia (25%) and nausea (17%). Infection of the intraperitoneal port was observed in one patient. There were no treatment-related deaths. Conclusions: Combination chemotherapy of XP plus IP DOC regimen is well tolerated and active in gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis. Clinical trial information: UMIN000016469.

214 Background: Perioperative chemotherapy has been suggested to be beneficial in patients with advanced gastric cancer. Based on the German FLOT-4 study, the FLOT regimen is considered as the new standard perioperative chemotherapy regimen for resectable gastric cancer in Europe. However, most clinical trials have included few or no cases of esophagogastric junction (EGJ) cancer, because of the difference in surgical procedures. The benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with advanced adenocarcinoma of the EGJ thus remains controversial in Japan. Methods: We conducted a phase II study in 13 Japanese institutions. Eligible patients had histopathologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the EGJ (Siewert type I or II with invasion of the esophagus ≥30 mm) with clinical T3/4a and/or node-positive on imaging findings, who required thoracic surgery to achieve R0 resection. Patients received three cycles of S-1 (80 mg/m2) twice a day on days 1–14 and oxaliplatin (130 mg/m2) (SOX) on day 1 of a 21-day cycle before surgery. The primary endpoint was R0 resection rate and the secondary endpoints were overall response rate, pathological complete response (pCR) rate, 2-year and 3-year disease-free survival, overall survival, and toxicity. The planned sample size was 50 patients based on an expected R0 resection rate of 85% and the threshold was 70%, with a one-sided alpha of 0.1 and power of 80%. Results: Fifty patients were enrolled in this study between June 2016 and April 2020. Totals of 21/29 and 7/4/22/8/8/1 had Siewert type I/II and clinical stage IIA/IIB/IIIA/IIIB/IIIC/IV disease, respectively. The completion rates for preoperative chemotherapy and surgery were 92% and 88%, respectively. Neoadjuvant therapy resulted in downstaging in 46% of patients (95% confidence interval (CI) 31.8%-60.7%). The pCR rate was 18% (95% CI 8.6%-31.4%) and the R0 resection rate was 82.0% (95% CI 68.6%-91.4%, 80% CI 73.1%-88.9%). Adverse events ≥ grade 3 during chemotherapy included thrombocytopenia (10%), neutropenia (8%), anemia (4%), anorexia (4%), nausea(2%), hypocalcemia(2%), hyponatremia(2%) and diarrhea (2%). Surgical morbidity was acceptable (Clavien-Dindo Grade IIIa surgical complications included anastomotic leakage (6.3%), pleural effusion (4.2%), thromboembolism (2.1%), and anastomotic infection (2.1%)). Conclusions: Neoadjuvant SOX met the primary endpoint of R0 resection rate 82% ( > 70%), with acceptable adverse effects and no impression on surgeries, suggesting that neoadjuvant SOX might be a new treatment strategy for patients with EGJ adenocarcinoma in Japan.

96 Background: The presence of free cancer cells in the peritoneal cavity has been known as a poor prognostic factor in gastric cancer patients. Intraperitoneal (IP) paclitaxel (PTX) provides powerful local effects in the peritoneal cavity, and we previously reported the efficacy and safety of a regimen combining IP PTX with S-1/PTX in gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis. This multicenter phase II study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of IP PTX plus S-1/PTX for gastric cancer with positive peritoneal cytology. Methods: Eligibility criteria included pathologically confirmed gastric adenocarcinoma, intraperitoneal free cancer cells confirmed by peritoneal washing cytology, and no evidence of overt distant metastasis including macroscopic peritoneal metastasis. Patients were administered IP PTX 20 mg/m2, intravenous PTX 50 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8, and S-1 80 mg/m2/day on days 1-14, q3 weeks. The primary endpoint was the 1-year overall survival (OS) rate. Secondary endpoints were response rate, negative conversion rate on peritoneal cytology and safety. Results: Thirty eight patients were enrolled and fully evaluated for OS and toxicity. The median number of courses was 12.5 (range 2-35). The 1-year OS rate was 84.2% (95 % confidence interval, 68.2-92.6%). Of 3 patients with target lesions, partial response and stable disease were obtained in 2 and 1 patient(s), respectively. The peritoneal cytology findings converted from positive to negative in 36 (94.7 %) patients. The incidences of grade 3/4 hematological and non-hematological toxicities were 45 % and 26 %, respectively. The frequent grade 3/4 toxicities included neutropenia (23%), leukopenia (7%) and anemia (8%). Regarding adverse events related to IP port, 2 patients developed swelling around the port site. Conclusions: IP PTX with S-1/PTX was suggested to be a promising option for gastric cancer with positive peritoneal cytology through the clearance of cancer cells in the peritoneal cavity.

15084 Background: Of patients who undergo R0 resection for GC with serosal invasion (T3–4), more than half recur mainly in the peritoneum, while TXL and S1 exhibited efficacy for diffuse type and peritoneal metastases in the phase II studies. Primary analysis of the sequential chemotherapy with TXL/S1 had shown its safety and tolerability, its survival benefit is being tested in a large phase III study (the SAMIT trial) with oral fluoropyrimidines as controls. The analysis for survival of this preceding phase II study is performed. Methods: Eligibility criteria included histologically proven GC; sT3–4; sN0–2; M0 (except peritoneal cytology: CY); post D2–3 gastrectomy and R0–1; ECOG PS 0–1; and 20–80 years old. On postoperative day 14 to 56, patients received 3 courses of weekly TXL (80mg/m2 on day 1, 8 for the 1st course and on day 1, 8, 15 for the 2nd and 3rd courses, repeated every 3 or 4 weeks) followed by 4 courses of S1 (80mg/m2 daily for 2 weeks, repeated every 3 weeks). The primary endpoints were % of patients who completed all 7 courses (compliance) to see whether the lower 95% confidence limit of compliance was greater than 69% and incidence of severe toxicities and the secondary endpoints were 3-year survival and toxicities. Results: 50 patients were accrued from May 2003 to March 2004. The median age was 63 (range 34–74); male/female: 34/16; pT2/T3/T4: 1/44/5; CY0/CY1: 4/46; f-stage2/3a/3b/4: 12/15/16/7. The overall compliance was 84%. Median follow up time was 1063 days for survivors (694–1332) and 1030 days for all. Three-year DFS were 64.6% for all, 66.1% for CY0 and 50.0% for CY1. Conclusions: Sequential TXL/S1 may serve as an active adjuvant for gastric cancer patients especially who are at high risk for peritoneal spread. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

216 Background: Perioperative treatments have significantly improved survival in patients with resectable gastric cancer, increasing 5-year overall survival from 23% with surgery alone to 45% with FLOT, Although FLOT has been recognized as the first choice for neoadjuvant chemotherapy in gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma, its efficacy needs to be improved. Sintilimab, a fully human IgG4 monoclonal antibody that binds to programmed cell death receptor-1 (PD-1), has shown remarkable clinical efficacy in various cancers. We aimed to assess the activity and safety profile of the combination of FLOT and sintilimab for neoadjuvant treatment of gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma. Methods: In this ongoing, single-arm, phase II study, we recruited patients from Henan Cancer Hospital in China with histopathologically diagnosed resectable gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma who had clinical T3/N+ or higher stage. Patients were given 4 cycles of FLOT (docetaxel 50 mg/m2, oxaliplatin 80 mg/m2, leucovorin 200 mg/m2, fluorouracil 2600 mg/m2, 24-h infusion on day 1, q2w) in combination with 3 cycles of sintilimab (200mg, iv, d1, q3w), followed by D2 surgery and 4 postoperative cycles of FLOT. The primary endpoint was pathological complete response (pCR). The secondary endpoints included major pathological remission (MPR) and R0 resection rate and adverse events . Results: A total of 20 patients were enrolled in the study between Aug 10 2019 and Sep 15 2020. One patient refused surgery, one person's disease progressed. Two patients have not yet completed neoadjuvant treatment . 16 pts who experienced D2 resection, 10 (62.5%) achieved major pathologic response (MPR), including 3 (18.8%) with a pathologic complete response (pCR) in primary tumor. The R0 resection rate was up to 93.8%, The grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) included lymphopenia(25%), anaemia (20%),fatigue (20%),leucopenia (15%), neutropenia (5%), diarrhea(5%), Alanine aminotransferase increased(5%),There was no surgical delays or unexpected surgical complications related to drug toxicity. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant combination of sintilimab and FOLT is a safe and efficacious treatment option for patients with gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma, 18.8% pCR rate and 62.5%MPR rate is encouraging. Our clinical study is still enrolling, and the survival effects are under follow up. Clinical trial information: NCT04341857.

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 .

450 Background: Patients with peritoneal metastasis have significantly poor prognosis. We have performed pretherapeutic staging laparoscopy (SL) to diagnose peritoneal metastasis for patients with large type 3, type 4 or serosa-invasive gastric cancer. When peritoneal metastasis disappears by chemotherapy for patients with positive peritoneal cytology (CY1) or peritoneal dissemination (P1), we perform the conversion surgery (CS). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical outcomes of 134 patients with advanced gastric cancer who underwent SL between 2005 from 2016. We examined safety and usefulness of CS for patients with CY1 or P1. Results: CY0P0, CY1P0 and P1 were found in 67, 28 and 39 patients, respectively. The median survival time (MST) of patients with CY0P0, CY1P0 and P1 were 39, 21 and 11 months (CY0P0 vs CY1P0; p = 0.029, CY0P0 vs P1; p<0.001, CY1P0 vs P1; p<0.001). In patients with CY1P0, 20 of 26 patients who received chemotherapy underwent the second look SL, and 14 patients (54%) underwent CS (R0) as peritoneal cytology turned negative. These regimens of chemotherapy were S-1/CDDP (n = 9), Docetaxel/CDDP/S-1 (n = 2), SOX (n = 2) and S-1/Docetaxel (n = 1) and the median number of treatment courses was5courses. The MSTs of patients with or without CS were 40 months and 11 months (p<0.001). Then, there was no difference in overall survival between patients with CS and patients with CY0P0 at the first SL (p = 0.866). All patients with P1received chemotherapy, and 11 of these patients underwent the second look SL. As peritoneal metastasis of 7 patients (18%) disappeared by chemotherapy, they underwent CS (R0). The MSTs of patients with or without CS were 31 months and 9 months (p = 0.026). Regarding complications after CS, surgical-site infection and interstitial pneumonia each occurred in one patient (grade II), and intestinal obstruction (grade IIIa) occurred in one patient. There was no mortality. Conclusions: This study suggests that CS is probably safe and may contribute to improve the survival rate of patients with peritoneal metastasis. Moreover, we developed the NSOX regimen, comprised of a combination nab-paclitaxel, S-1 and oxaliplatin, and have performed a phase I/II trial using the NSOX regimen (UMIN000030909).
