Objective.To evaluate the efficacy and safety of docetaxel plus oxaliplatin and capecitabine (DOX) in the first line treatment of advanced gastric adenocarcinoma.Methods.A total of 37 patients were enrolled into this study, and they received DOX regimen (docetaxel 75 mg/m2and oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2intravenous infusion on day 1, and capecitabine 1000 mg/m2orally twice daily on d1–14); treatment was repeated every 3 weeks.Results.All 37 patients were assessable for evaluation. The numbers of patients with complete response (CR), partial responses (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD) were 1, 10, 23, and 3, respectively. The objective response rate (ORR) was 29.7%, with the disease control rate (DCR) of 91.9%. Median progression-free survival (mPFS) and overall survival (mOS) were 197 days and 364 days, respectively. The most common grade 3/4 toxicities were hematological toxicities. The most common grade 3/4 nonhematological toxicities were fatigue, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea, and hand-foot syndrome.Conclusion.The DOX regimen demonstrated a promising efficacy as the first line regimen in treating advanced gastric cancer patients with good performance status, the toxicities were tolerated and controllable. Large-scale clinical observation is necessary to get further evidence.

Background and Objective: Previous studies have evaluated the efficacy (OS, overall survival; PFS, progression-free survival; ORR, objective response rate) and adverse events of bevacizumab combined with platinum-based chemotherapy in first-line treatment of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared with chemotherapy alone. However, the results were inconsistent.Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library for potentially eligible articles. The outcomes were evaluated in terms of risk ratio (RR) or hazard ratio (HR) and the associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Meta-analysis was performed using the Stata 12.0 software, and subgroup analyses were performed based on the treatment and bevacizumab dose.Results: Six randomized controlled trials with 2,465 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The results demonstrated that bevacizumab significantly increased OS (HR = 0.87, 95% CI 0.79–0.96), extended PFS (HR = 0.65, 95% CI 0.54–0.77), and increased ORR (ES = 0.40, 95% CI 0.31–0.48) when added to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC. Subgroup analyses showed that only the higher dose (15 mg/kg) of bevacizumab plus carboplatin–paclitaxel significantly extended the OS and PFS, but both 7.5 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg of bevacizumab improved ORR. However, both 7.5 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg of bevacizumab could only increase PFS and ORR, but not extend OS, when added to cisplatin–gemcitabine. Bevacizumab significantly increased the risk of grade ≥3 events of febrile neutropenia, haemorrhagic events, hypertension, leukopenia, neutropenia, and proteinuria.Conclusion: Bevacizumab significantly increases OS, PFS, and ORR when added to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC, with no new safety signals found. Moreover, bevacizumab (15 mg/kg) plus carboplatin–paclitaxel is a better alternative in increasing OS to carboplatin–paclitaxel and bevacizumab (7.5 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg) plus cisplatin–gemcitabine.

e16540 Background: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety between docetaxel plus S-1 with oxaliplatin plus S-1 therapy as first-line treatment for advanced gastric adenocarcinoma. Methods: Patients, who had received docetaxel plus S-1 or oxaliplatin plus S-1 as first-line chemotherapy for advanced gastric adenocarcinoma, were retrospectively reviewed. Kaplan–Meier curve and log-rank test were used to analyze the survival. Prognostic factors were estimated by Cox regression. Adverse events (AEs) were evaluated using CTCAE 4.0. Results: One hundred and twenty-nine patients received concurrent docetaxel plus S-1, whereas 130 received oxaliplatin plus S-1. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in docetaxel and oxaliplatin groups were 6.0 and 8.2 months ( P= 0.025), 14.7 and 15.7 months ( P= 0.697), respectively. Multivariate Cox regression suggested that chemotherapy regimen (docetaxel vs oxaliplatin; HR = 1.535, 95% CI:1.092-2.156, P = 0.014), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS 3-4 vs 0-2; HR = 4.213, 95% CI: 2.246–7.903, P< 0.001), Lauren type (Intestinal vs Diffuse, HR = 0.471, 95% CI: 0.307–0.725, P= 0.001, Mixed vs Diffuse, HR = 0.649, 95% CI: 0.442–0.953, P= 0.028), and number of metastases (HR = 2.097, 95% CI: 1.421–3.095, P< 0.001) had significant effects on PFS. Multivariate Cox regression suggested that pathologic types (signet-ring cell carcinoma vs adenocarcinoma; HR = 1.688, 95% CI:1.152-2.472, P = 0.007), Lauren type (Intestinal vs Diffuse, HR = 0.637, 95% CI: 0.414–0.982, P= 0.041), number of metastases (HR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.154–2.504, P= 0.007) had significant effects on OS.The most common grade 3-4 adverse events were leukopenia (3.1% vs 7.8%), neutropenia (7.7 vs 12.3%), anemia (13.2% vs 14.6%), thrombocytopenia (2.3% vs 10.8%), peripheral neuropathy(0.8% vs 7.8%)and Nausea/vomiting/ anorexia (1.6% vs 3.8%). Conclusions: Concurrent oxaliplatin plus S-1 therapy appears to be effective as first-line treatment in advanced gastric and has an acceptable safety profile. For patients in good physical condition, we prefer to recommend oxaliplatin combined with S-1 for treatment.
