TPS178 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors are drugs that block specific proteins produced by the immune system cells, such as T-cells; these proteins prevent T-cells from killing cancer cells. NIV is a standard care for pretreated mGC patients (pts), with increasing clinical use in Japan. Data from retrospective studies on various tumors have shown that after exposure to immune checkpoint inhibitors, the objective response rate to CTx potentially improves; however, enough data have not been accumulated. Although there are no recommended CTx regimen following NIV therapy, in a clinical setting, an irinotecan or oxaliplatin combination regimen (limited to cisplatin-refractory or cisplatin-intolerant pts) is frequently used as post-NIV CTx. This multicenter observational study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CTx in NIV-refractory or NIV-intolerant mGC pts. Methods: We prospectively collect clinical and imaging data from NIV-pretreated mGC pts; these pts will be treated with cytotoxic agents. Pts who meet inclusion criteria A (histologically proven mGC pretreated with NIV, prior administration of a combination therapy of fluoropyrimidine plus platinum and taxanes, and written informed consent) at primary registration are registered. After primary registration, pts who meet inclusion criteria B [Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS 0-2), refractory or intolerant to NIV; prior administration of irinotecan monotherapy or oxaliplatin combination regimens and prior use of cisplatin; evaluable lesions according to RECIST ver. 1.1] at formal registration are registered. The primary endpoint is overall survival of NIV-pretreated mGC pts after CTx. For this study, we require 146 pts, with bilateral alpha = 0.05 and beta = 0.10, with a median threshold survival of 4.0 months and an expected median survival of 6.0 months. Therefore, we plan to enroll 200 pts, considering exclusions from the analysis; since May 2018, we have enrolled 27 pts. Clinical trial information: UMIN000032182.
