Abstract
Background: Ciji-Hua’ai-Baosheng II Formula (CHB-II-F) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula, which specifically targets different aspects of chemotherapy-induced adverse effects in patients with cancer. In our clinical application, CHB-II-F significantly alleviated chemotherapy-induced anorexia (loss of appetite) and improved the quality of life for patients with tumor during and after chemotherapy. However, the mechanism of CHB-II-F in alleviation of chemotherapy-induced anorexia remains to be further investigated. Aim of Study: To explore the therapeutic effect and mechanism of CHB-II-F on chemotherapy-induced anorexia in the mice model of H22 hepatoma. Materials and Methods: A total of 72 Kunming mice of SPF grade were inoculated subcutaneously with H22 hepatoma cells into the right anterior armpit of the mice. After 1 week of seeding, mice were injected intraperitoneally with a high dose of 5-fluorouracil (200 mg/kg 5-FU) to establish the model of chemotherapy. The mice were randomly divided into six groups: untreated group, 5-FU group, 5-FU plus Yangzheng Xiaoji capsule (YZXJC) group, and three groups of 5-FU plus different concentrations of CHB-II-F. All the mice in each group were treated for 14 days. The body weight, food intake, tumor volume, and tumor weight of mice were measured, and pathological examinations of tumor tissue, stomach, and duodenum were carried out. Expressions of serum Leptin, Neuropeptide Y (NPY), epidermal cell growth factor (EGF), Motilin (MTL), Orexin A (OXA), Gastrin (GAS), Ghrelin, Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and jejunum superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were examined. The protein and mRNA levels of proopiomelanocortin (POMC), Orexin receptor 1 (OX1R), neuropeptide Y (NPY), cocaine and amphetamine regulated transcript peptide (CART), Agouti gene-related protein (AgRP), Leptin receptor (Ob-R), and Ghrelin receptor (GHSR) were examined in hypothalamus, and the protein levels of substance P (SP) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in duodenum were measured. Results: The combination of CHB-II-F and 5-FU could enhance the inhibitory effect of 5-FU on tumor. The tumor inhibition rates of 5-FU group, YZXJC group, CHB-II-F(H) group, CHB-II-F(M) group, and CHB-II-F(L) group were 58.88, 28.08, 54.96, 37.69, and 28.61%, respectively. Compared with untreated group and 5-FU group, CHB-II-F significantly increased the body weight and food intake of tumor-bearing mice; increased the content of NPY, Orexin A, Ghrelin, GAS, MTL, EGF, and PGE2 in serum and the activity of SOD in jejunum; and decreased the content of Leptin in serum and the content of MDA in jejunum. Compared with untreated group and 5-FU group, CHB-II-F also enhanced the expression of OX1R, GHSR, NPY, and AgRP protein and gene and decreased the expression of Ob-R, POMC, and CART protein and gene in hypothalamus of mice, and the gene expression was consistent with the protein expression. In addition, CHB-II-F decreased the expression of 5-HT and SP protein in duodenum. Conclusion: In the murine model of H22 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) receiving chemotherapy, CHB-II-F enhances the inhibitory effect of 5-FU on tumor, significantly improves the pathological injury of gastrointestinal tract caused by chemotherapy, and regulates the secretion of gastrointestinal hormones. It may alleviate chemotherapy-induced anorexia by affecting appetite regulatory factors in the feeding area of hypothalamus central nervous system and peripheral appetite regulatory factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this multicenter, randomized phase II study was to analyze the feasibility and safety of alternate-day S-1, an oral fluoropyrimidine, for adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with completely resected pathological stage I (tumor diameter > 2 cm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Patients were randomly assigned to receive adjuvant chemotherapy for 1 year comprising either alternate-day oral administration of S-1 (80 mg/m2/day) for 4 days a week (Group A) or a 2-week oral administration of S-1 (80 mg/m2/day) followed by 1 week of rest (Group B). The primary endpoint was feasibility, which was defined as the proportion of patients who completed the allocated intervention for 6 months with a relative dose intensity (RDI) of 70% or more. RESULTS Ninety-three patients were enrolled of whom 90 patients received S-1 treatment. Median follow-up was 66.9 months. The treatment completion rate based on an RDI of 70% or more for 6 months was 84.4% (95%CI; 70.5-93.5%) in group A and 64.4% (95%CI; 48.8-78.1%) in group B. There were no grade 4 adverse events in either group. Moderate or severe adverse events (grade 2 or grade 3) were significantly more frequent in group B (67%) compared with group A (29%, P = 0.001). The 5-year relapse-free survival rate was 87.0 and 80.9% for group A and B, respectively (P = 0.451). The 5-year overall survival rate for all patients (n = 93) was 100 and 89.4% for group A and B, respectively (P = 0.136). CONCLUSION Alternate-day oral administration of S-1 for 1 year as adjuvant chemotherapy was demonstrated to be feasible with low toxicity in completely resected stage I (tumor diameter > 2 cm) NSCLC.

Abstract
Background Adjuvant tegafur-gimeracil-oteracil (S-1) is commonly used for gastric cancer in Asia, and tegafur-uracil (UFT) is another oral fluoropyrimidine when S-1 is unavailable. The real-world data of adjuvant UFT has less been investigated. Methods Patients with pathological stage II-IIIB (except T1) gastric cancer receiving adjuvant UFT or S-1 monotherapy after D2 gastrectomy were included. Usage of UFT or S-1 was based on reimbursement policy of the Taiwanese healthcare system. The characteristics, chemotherapy completion rates, and 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS), were compared between these two groups. Results From 2005 to 2016, 86 eligible patients were included. Most tumor characteristics were similar between the UFT group (n = 37; age 59.1 ± 13.9 years) and S-1 group (n = 49; age 56.3 ± 10.7 years), except there were significantly more Borrmann type III/IV (86.5% versus 67.3%; p = 0.047) and T4 (56.8% versus 10.2%; p < 0.001) lesions in the UFT group than in the S-1 group. The chemotherapy complete rates were similar in the two groups. The 5-year RFS was 56.1% in the UFT group and 59.6% in the S-1 group (p = 0.71), and the 5-year OS was 78.3% in the UFT group and 73.1% in the S-1 group (p = 0.48). The hazard ratio of adjuvant chemotherapy (S-1 versus UFT) on RFS was 1.25 (95% confidence interval = 0.53-2.94) when Borrmann type and T and N stages were adjusted. Conclusions This small cohort study showed adjuvant UFT, and S-1 monotherapy had a comparable long-term outcome for pathological stage II-IIIB gastric cancer following D2 gastrectomy.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcome of adjuvant S-1 with 2-week administration followed by a 1-week rest for locally advanced gastric cancer (GC) patients. Methods The current study was a single retrospective cohort study that focused on the efficacy and toxicity of adjuvant S-1 with a 3-week schedule. A total of 60 patients who underwent total or subtotal gastrectomy plus D2 lymph node dissection and adjuvant S-1 treatment were identified. S-1 treatment began within 4 weeks after the operation; it was administered orally for 2 weeks, followed by a 1-week rest. The dose of S-1 was adjusted depending on adverse events (AEs), with at least 80 mg administered daily. The completion of 1-year S-1 was defined as S-1 continuation for 1 year with over 70% of the planned dose. Patients were followed up with for 5 years postoperatively and underwent hematologic tests and assessments of clinical symptoms every 3-6 weeks for 1 year after surgery. Computed tomography of the abdomen and panendoscopy were performed every 6 months during the first 2 years and at 1-year intervals thereafter until year 5 after surgery. Results The completion rate of 1-year adjuvant S-1 was 71.7%, and the 3-year disease-free survival and overall survival rates were 70.2% and 79.5%, respectively. Seventeen patients did not complete S-1 for 1 year, including 11 patients with tumor recurrence and 6 patients who developed intolerance. Most AEs of S-1 were grade 1-2, and the most frequent AEs (>20%) included anemia, fatigue, pigmentation, nausea, and diarrhea. The most common grade 3-4 AE was fatigue, which was observed in 6.7% of patients. Most patients tolerated the side effects. Conclusions The results of our study confirm that the efficacy and safety of schedule modification of adjuvant S-1 treatment in patients with GC who underwent gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection are equal to those in a previous phase 3 study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A 4-week administration of tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil (S-1) followed by a 2-week rest is the standard adjuvant chemotherapy for surgically resected advanced gastric cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the oncological feasibility of a 2-week S-1 administration followed by a 1-week rest, which is frequently applied in clinical practice to reduce toxicity and improve drug adherence. METHODS We retrospectively enrolled patients with stage II/III gastric cancer who received S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy following radical gastrectomy from 2006 to 2016 in three institutions. Two-week and 4-week regimen cohorts were compared for relative dose intensity (RDI) as a primary outcome, and treatment completion rate, adverse event incidence, overall survival (OS), and relapse-free survival (RFS) as secondary outcomes. Confounders were adjusted for using propensity score matching (PSM). RESULTS One hundred and thirty-four patients received the 2-week regimen and 121 patients received the 4-week regimen. Ninety-five patients were extracted from each group after PSM. The RDIs of S-1 in the 2-week and 4-week cohorts were 73.5 and 69.9%, respectively (p = 0.35), which were not significantly different. The treatment completion rate (54.7 vs. 53.7%, p = 1.0), incidence of grade ≥3 adverse events (7.4 vs. 12.6%, p = 0.33), 3-year OS (76.4 vs. 82.7%, p = 0.78), and 3-year RFS (71.3 vs. 73.4%, p = 0.70) did not significantly differ between both cohorts. CONCLUSIONS The 2-week S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy could not improve drug adherence in terms of RDI, but its relapse rates were not significantly different compared with those of the 4-week regimen. The 2-week regimen might be considered as an option depending on the patient's status.

Abstract
The feasibility of the S-1 administration schedules (the 4-week versus the 2-week) showed no significant difference for adjuvant chemotherapy among pathological-Stage IA non–small-cell lung cancer patients. Objective The aim of this multicenter study was to determine the appropriate administration schedule for S-1, an oral fluoropyrimidine, for adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with completely resected pathological-Stage IA (tumor diameter, 2–3 cm) non–small-cell lung cancer. Methods Patients were randomly assigned to receive adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of either the 4-week oral administration of S-1 (80–120 mg/body/day) followed by a 2-week rest (Group A), or the 2-week oral administration of S-1 (80–120 mg/body/day) followed by a 1-week rest (Group B). The duration of adjuvant chemotherapy was 1 year in both arms. The primary endpoint was compliance, namely drug discontinuation-free survival, which was calculated using the Kaplan–Meier method with log-rank test. Results Eighty patients were enrolled in this study, and 76 patients actually received S-1 treatment. The drug discontinuation-free survival rates at 1 year were 49.1% in Group A and 52.7% in Group B (P = 0.373). The means of the relative dose intensities were 55.3% in Group A and 64.6% in Group B (P = 0.237). There were no treatment-related deaths. Patients with grade 3/4 toxicities were significantly more frequent in Group A (40.5%) than in Group B (15.4%, P = 0.021). The 2-year relapse-free survival rates were 97.5% in Group A and 92.5% in Group B, and the 2-year overall survival rates were 100% in both groups. Conclusions The feasibility showed no significant difference between the two groups among patients with completely resected Stage IA (tumor diameter, 2–3 cm) non–small-cell lung cancer.

Abstract
Purpose Although several clinical trials have proven the efficacy of adjuvant S-1 treatment in gastric cancers, it is still unclear which patients receive the most benefit. In this study, we prospectively recruited patients with locally advanced gastric cancer who had undergone curative resection followed by adjuvant S-1 administration to investigate which factors affect the outcomes. Materials and Methods Between July 2010 and October 2011, we enrolled 49 patients who underwent curative resection for stage II or III gastric cancer and who subsequently received adjuvant S-1 treatment for 1 year. Results Twenty-nine patients (59.2%) continued S-1 treatment for 1 year, and 12 patients (24.5%) experienced recurrent disease during the follow-up period. Patients with continuation of S-1 for 1 year had significantly increased rates of disease-free survival (P<0.001) and overall survival (P=0.001) relative to the patients who discontinued S-1 during year 1. Multivariate analysis indicated poor outcomes for patients with stage III disease and those who discontinued S-1 treatment. Excluding patients who discontinued S-1 due to cancer progression (n=7), adjuvant treatment with S-1 still demonstrated a significant difference in the disease-free survival rate between the patients who continued treatment and those who discontinued it (P=0.020). Conclusions S-1 is tolerated as adjuvant treatment in gastric cancer patients. However, discontinuing S-1 treatment may be an unfavorable factor in the prevention of recurrence. S-1 adjuvant treatment should be continued for 1 year if possible through the proper management of toxicities.

Risk factors for discontinuation of s-1 adjuvant chemotherapy for gastric cancer. J Cancer 2015; 6:464-9. [PMID: 25874010 PMCID: PMC4392055 DOI: 10.7150/jca.11189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2014] [Accepted: 01/03/2015] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to clarify the risk factors for discontinuing tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil potassium (S-1) adjuvant chemotherapy following gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer. METHODS We retrospectively investigated patients with curatively-resected gastric cancer who received S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy. S-1 was administered orally at 80-120 mg/day, depending on body surface area, on days 1-28 every 6 weeks for 1 year. The dose and treatment schedule were modified at the clinicians' discretion, according to toxicity. RESULTS Seventy-one patients were included in the study, 26 of whom discontinued S-1 therapy. The relapse-free survival rates in the S-1-completed and S-1-discontinuation groups at 5 years post-surgery were 88.1% and 55.8%, respectively. The overall survival rates in the S-1-completed and S-1-discontinuation groups at 5 years post-surgery were 89.4% and 59.8%, respectively. The hazard ratios for relapse and death were significantly lower in the S-1-completed group compared with those in the S-1-discontinuation group (0.18; p<0.001 and 0.19; p=0.002, respectively). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that S-1 discontinuation was significantly associated with an initial overdose of S-1, having stage I cancer, creatinine clearance <66 mL/min, and a side effect of nausea. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that assessing renal function to avoid initial overdose of S-1, together with the early management of side effects, may support the continuation of S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with gastric cancer.

Abstract
This study was performed to investigate the compliance, safety, dosage modifications (dose reduction and/or schedule change [including permanent S-1 withdrawal]), and clinical parameters that predict S-1 dosage modification in gastric cancer patients receiving adjuvant S-1 chemotherapy. One hundred and forty-nine patients who underwent curative D2 surgery and received adjuvant S-1 chemotherapy were enrolled. S-1 was administered orally (40 mg/m(2) twice daily on days 1-28 every 6 weeks) for 1 year. For patients unable to tolerate S-1, the dosage was reduced or the schedule was changed to a 3-weekly schedule of 2 weeks on treatment followed by 1 week off treatment. The planned 1-year treatment was completed in 73.8% of patients; 69 patients required dosage modification because of toxicity. The most frequent cause of dosage modification was enterocolitis (37 patients; defined as ≥ grade 2 abdominal pain and/or ≥ grade 2 diarrhea). Most dosage modification occurred during the early cycles of treatment (within the first 3 months). Severe toxicities (≥ grade 3) included neutropenia (13.4%), abdominal pain (8.1%) and diarrhea (8.1%). In multivariate analyses, decreased relative dose intensity was related to poor disease-free survival independent of stage, and only low creatinine clearance predicted S-1 dosage modification. In conclusion, although adjuvant S-1 therapy has a high compliance rate, meticulous monitoring of adverse events is required in the early period of treatment. Decreased creatinine clearance was the only factor that predicted dosage modification. In patients with creatinine clearance <50 mL/min, dosage reduction should be considered from the initiation of S-1 treatment.

Tolerability of adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 after curative resection in patients with stage II/III gastric cancer. Oncol Lett 2012; 4:1135-1139.

Abstract
The results of the Japan Clinical Oncology Group trial demonstrated that adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 for stage II/III gastric cancer is effective and suggested that this therapy should be adopted as the standard treatment following curative D2 gastric dissection. We reviewed treatment outcomes in 58 consecutive patients who received adjuvant therapy with S-1 for stage II/III gastric cancer following curative D2 dissection; the standard dosage used was determined on the basis of the patient body surface area. Twenty-four patients (41.3%) discontinued treatment before 12 months. Patients who completed 12 months of adjuvant therapy with S-1 were younger and more frequently treated by senior doctors (>15 years of experience) than those who did not. However, no differences existed in pathological features and surgical procedures between groups. Overall survival and relapse-free survival were better in patients who completed 12 months of adjuvant therapy with S-1. Fatigue and nausea were associated with discontinuation of S-1 treatment. In conclusion, immediately after surgery, fatigue and gastrointestinal symptoms of ≤ grade 2 may have a major impact on treatment compliance. Prior to the commencement of S-1 administration, both patients and doctors should be made completely aware of the toxicity, compliance and efficacy issues associated with this adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
The efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 in patients with completely resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has yet to be clarified, and the appropriate schedule for the adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 remains unknown. A phase II study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1. Patients enrolled in this study were 20-75 years old, had pathological stage IB-IIIA NSCLC, and had received complete resection of NSCLC. S-1 (80 mg/m2) was administered orally to the patients for four weeks followed by a two-week rest period (conventional schedule), for a maximum of eight cycles. The primary endpoint was relative dose intensity (RDI), while the secondary endpoints were safety and 1 year of disease-free survival (1y-DFS). Between May 2007 and October 2009, 28 patients were enrolled. The RDI was 63.1% (95% CI, 48.6-77.7). No grade 3 or worse hematological toxicity was observed. Grade 3 non-hematological toxicities were observed in four patients. No grade 4 or worse hematological toxicity was detected. The probability of 1y-DFS was 85.7% (95% CI, 72.8-98.6). In the subgroup analysis, the median RDI of patients over 65 years old was lower compared to the other patients (44.8 vs. 100%; P=0.013; Mann-Whitney U test). Creatinine clearance (CCr) was lower in the older group, with more grade 2 or 3 non-hematological toxicities in the elderly patients. These results suggest that the conventional schedule of adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 is not likely to be feasible in older patients with completely resected NSCLC.

Safety and feasibility of adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 for Korean patients with curatively resected advanced gastric cancer. Cancer Chemother Pharmacol 2012; 70:523-9. [PMID: 22864947 DOI: 10.1007/s00280-012-1935-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2012] [Accepted: 07/20/2012] [Indexed: 10/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 was proven to be effective in Japanese patients with advanced gastric cancer curatively resected with D2 lymph node dissection. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the medical records of 305 patients with stage II, III or IV (M0) gastric cancer who had received adjuvant S-1 chemotherapy following curative gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection between October 2007 and December 2009. Adjuvant S-1 was administered at a dose of 40 mg/m(2) twice daily for 4 weeks followed by 2 weeks of rest, every 6 weeks for eight cycles. RESULTS Of the 305 patients, 248 (81.3 %) and 198 (64.9 %) completed four and eight cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy, respectively. The most common reasons for discontinuing treatment prior to the planned eight cycles were adverse events (n = 47, 15.4 %) and tumor recurrence (n = 28, 9.2 %). Sixty-five (21.3 %) patients required dose reduction due to adverse events. The most common grade 3/4 toxicities were neutropenia (n = 39, 12.8 %), diarrhea (n = 15, 4.9 %). Multivariate analysis showed that total gastrectomy [odds ratio (OR) 2.44; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.29-4.62, p = 0.006] was an independent risk factor for grade 3/4 hematologic toxicities, and age > 65 years (OR 2.60; 95 % CI 1.34-5.07, p = 0.005) was an independent risk factor for grade 3 non-hematologic toxicities. CONCLUSIONS Adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 for 1 year is safe and feasible in Korean patients. Age > 65 years and total gastrectomy are independent risk factors for severe adverse events caused by adjuvant S-1 chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was conducted to determine the incidence and clinical characteristics of lacrimal drainage obstruction (LDO) in patients receiving S-1 chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Consecutive 170 patients with gastric cancer who underwent curative surgery and received adjuvant S-1 chemotherapy were enrolled. S-1 was administered orally (40 mg/m2 b.i.d. on days 1-28 every 6 weeks) for 1 year. Ophthalmologic examinations were carried out on patients complaining of epiphora. RESULTS Thirty-one patients (18%) developed epiphora. Among 31 patients, 25 underwent ophthalmologic examinations and 22 (88%) were diagnosed with LDO. The median time to the onset of LDO was 2.9 months. The most common site of obstruction was the nasolacrimal duct [86% (19/22)]; punctal [23% (5/22)] and canalicular obstruction [14% (3/22)] were also noted. In multivariate analysis, total gastrectomy [versus partial gastrectomy: hazard ratio (HR), 2.9; P=0.014] and creatinine clearance<50 ml/min (versus ≥50 ml/min: HR, 2.9; P=0.038) were independent risk factors for the development of LDO. CONCLUSION Considering the high incidence of LDO in patients receiving S-1 chemotherapy, oncologists should be alert to epiphora and cooperate with ophthalmologists in the early stages to improve the quality of life of patients and avoid more complicated ophthalmologic procedures.
