Abstract

Background/Aim: This phase II study assessed the efficacy of capecitabine plus cisplatin in patients with advanced gastric cancer refractory to adjuvant S-1. Patients and Methods: This single-arm, open-label, multicenter, phase II study was conducted by Tohoku Clinical Oncology Research and Education Society (T-CORE) in Japan. Patients aged ≥20 years with advanced HER2-negative gastric cancer that was refractory to S-1 were enrolled. Patients received 80 mg/m2 cisplatin on day 1 intravenously and 1,000 mg/m2 capecitabine twice daily from day 1 to day 14, in 3-week cycles. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). The threshold overall response rate (ORR) was estimated to be 15%. The secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), time to treatment failure, ORR, and toxicities. Results: In total, 21 patients were enrolled from seven hospitals. The median patient age was 63 years. Nineteen patients received the protocol treatment. Median PFS was 3.7 months [90% confidence interval (CI)=2.7-5.6 months], which did not reach the predefined threshold of 4.0 months. ORR was 5.9% (95%CI=0.0-17.1%). Median OS was 11.9 months (95% CI 6.3-19.4 months). Febrile neutropenia was observed in 5.3% of patients. The most frequently observed grade 3 non-hematologic toxicities were nausea (15.8%) and hyponatremia (15.8%). Conclusion: The addition of a fluoropyrimidine to a platinum agent after adjuvant therapy is not suitable for gastric cancer.
