Adjuvant capecitabine plus oxaliplatin after D2 gastrectomy in Japanese patients with gastric cancer: a phase II study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adjuvant chemotherapy with XELOX (capecitabine plus oxaliplatin) has been shown to be beneficial following resection of gastric cancer in South Korean, Chinese, and Taiwanese patients. This phase II study (J-CLASSIC-PII) was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of XELOX in Japanese patients with resected gastric cancer.

Methods

Patients with stage II or III gastric cancer who underwent curative D2 gastrectomy received adjuvant XELOX (eight 3-week cycles of oral capecitabine, 1000 mg/m² twice daily on days 1-14, plus intravenous oxaliplatin 130 mg/m² on day 1). The primary endpoint was dose intensity. Secondary endpoints were safety, proportion of patients completing treatment, and 1-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate.

Results

One hundred patients were enrolled, 76 of whom completed the study as planned. The mean dose intensity was 67.2 % (95 % CI, 61.9-72.5 %) for capecitabine and 73.4 % (95 % CI, 68.4-78.4 %) for oxaliplatin, which were higher than the predefined age-adjusted threshold values of 63.4 % and 69.4 %, respectively, and the study therefore met its primary endpoint. The 1-year DFS rate was 86 % (95 % CI, 77-91 %). No new safety signals were identified.

Conclusions

The feasibility of adjuvant XELOX in Japanese patients with resected gastric cancer is similar to that observed in South Korean, Chinese, and Taiwanese patients in the Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin Adjuvant Study in Stomach Cancer (CLASSIC) study. Based on findings from this study and the CLASSIC study, the XELOX regimen can be considered an adjuvant treatment option for Japanese gastric cancer patients who have undergone curative resection.

Project description:LESSONS LEARNED:The NEO-CLASSIC study provided valuable insight for the clinical efficacy and tolerability profiles of perioperative chemotherapy with oxaliplatin and capecitabine, plus gastrectomy, in patients with localized resectable gastric cancer.The study was designed to explore the potential survival benefits of an eight-cycle, perioperative oxaliplatin and capecitabine (XELOX) schedule in the above-mentioned setting and to explore the feasibility of prolonging the cycles of preoperative chemotherapy. The projected endpoint was not met. BACKGROUND:This multicenter, open-label study (NEO-CLASSIC) evaluated the efficacy and safety of oxaliplatin and capecitabine (XELOX), plus D2 gastrectomy, in localized resectable gastric cancer. METHODS:Patients aged 18-75 years with histologically-confirmed gastric adenocarcinoma (stage T2-4a/N+M0) were given eight cycles of XELOX (four preoperatively, four postoperatively). Each 3-week cycle comprised capecitabine 1,000 mg/m2 twice daily on days 1-14 and oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 on day 1. Curative D2 gastrectomy was scheduled 2-4 weeks after the last preoperative cycle. The primary objective of the study was to determine the objective response rate (ORR) of XELOX in the preoperative setting. Sample size was calculated by assuming that a minimum of 47 cases would be required to increase the ORR by 15% (from 40% to 55%). With an estimated 10% dropout rate, 55 patients would have to be recruited. RESULTS:Fifty-five patients were enrolled, and one was excluded because of screening failure. R0 resections were achieved in 45 of 54 intent-to-treat patients (83.3%), and four patients received R1 resections (Fig. 1). There were no complete responses, 27 (50.0%) partial responses, 22 cases (40.7%) of stable disease, and 4 (7.4%) of progressive disease. The objective response rate was 50.0%. Median follow-up was 52.97 months; 30 patients (55.6%) had disease progression (Table 1), and median progression-free survival was 20.10 (95% confidence interval: 4.31-35.89) months; median overall survival was 30.77 months (95% confidence interval was not yet available) (Fig. 2). Fifty-four patients completed 209 cycles of preoperative chemotherapy; 42 patients received 133 cycles of postoperative chemotherapy (Table 3). The rate of grade 3-4 adverse events was 8.5% (29/342 cycles); the most frequent events were neutropenia (9/342 cycles) and leukopenia (4/342 cycles). CONCLUSION:These findings suggest that combination therapy with capecitabine and oxaliplatin as perioperative chemotherapy, followed by D2 gastrectomy, is effective and safe in late-stage, locally advanced gastric cancer. Although enrollment exceeded the 47 patients required to identify an increase in the ORR by 15% (from 40% to 55%), results did not meet the primary endpoint.

Project description:BackgroundSurgery is the only treatment option for operable gastric cancer. The CLASSIC and ACTS-GC studies showed that the 5-year overall survival (OS) of patients with stage III gastric cancer undergoing D2 gastrectomy is still very low. Whether adjuvant nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) combined chemotherapy is more effective than the XELOX standard adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with stage III gastric cancer has not been confirmed.MethodsThis is a multicenter, open-label, phase III clinical study. In this trial, 616 patients with locally advanced stage III gastric cancer that underwent curative D2 radical surgery and achieved R0 are planned to be included. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to nab-paclitaxel combined with S-1 (AS) vs. oxaliplatin combined with capecitabine (XELOX). XELOX group: Patients assigned to the XELOX group received eight 3-week cycles of oral capecitabine (1000 mg/m2) twice daily on days 1-14 of each cycle plus intravenous oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 on day 1 of each cycle. AS group: AS group received eight 3-week cycles of oral S-1 (80-120 mg) (< 1.25 m2, 40 mg; 1.25 to < 1.5 m2, 50 mg; and > 1.5 m2, 60 mg) twice daily on days 1-14 plus intravenous nab-paclitaxel 120 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 of each cycle. The primary endpoint was the 3-year disease-free survival (3-year-DFS) defined as the time from randomisation to the time of recurrence of the original gastric cancer, development of a new gastric cancer, or death from any cause. The secondary endpoints were the overall survival, (defined as the time from the date of randomisation to date of death from any cause) and safety (any adverse event).DiscussionCompared with previous studies, this study includes nab-paclitaxel based on S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy, which is expected to achieve better efficacy and lower toxicity than the standard treatment. This study is the first clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of nab-paclitaxel combined with S-1 in patients with stage III gastric cancer after D2 radical resection.Trial registrationThis clinical trial has been registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, registration number: NCT04135781 , on October 20th, 2019.
