Abstract
The use of target agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors have changed the treatment landscape for AGC in the first-line setting. However, the crosswise comparison between each regimen is rare. Therefore, we estimated the efficacy and safety of targeted therapy or immunotherapy with chemotherapy in AGC patients as the first-line treatment. Included studies were divided into "average" or "specific positivity" group according to whether the patients were selected by a certain pathological expression. We conducted a Bayesian network meta-analysis for all regimens in both groups. In average group, no regimen showed significant improvements in overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS), while pembrolizumab and nivolumab combined with chemotherapy were ranked first and second respectively without an obvious safety difference. In specific positivity group, zolbetuximab plus chemotherapy significantly prolonged OS (HR 0.53, 95% CI 0.36-0.79) and PFS (HR 0.45, 95% CI 0.25-0.81). The top three regimens were zolbetuximab-chemotherapy, trastuzumab plus pertuzuma-chemotherapy and nivolumab-chemotherapy respectively, with no significant safety risk. For average patients, immune checkpoint inhibitor PD-1 plus chemotherapy will be the promising regimen. For patients with overexpression of CLDN18.2, zolbetuximab combined with chemotherapy comes with greater survival benefits, while for patients who have PD-L1 expression with no HER-2 or CLDN18.2 positivity, additional immune checkpoint inhibitor of PD-1 will be a good considered option.

For patients with overexpression of CLDN18.2, zolbetuximab combined with chemotherapy comes with greater survival benefits, while for patients who have PD-L1 expression with no HER-2 or CLDN18.2 positivity, additional immune checkpoint inhibitor of PD-1 will be a good considered option.

Comparative efficacy and tolerability of targeted and immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer: a Bayesian network meta-analysis.

[PMID: 36539429 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-24426-9' and 2*3*8=6*8 and 'rp9l'='rp9l] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/29/2024] Open
Abstract
The use of target agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors have changed the treatment landscape for AGC in the first-line setting. However, the crosswise comparison between each regimen is rare. Therefore, we estimated the efficacy and safety of targeted therapy or immunotherapy with chemotherapy in AGC patients as the first-line treatment. Included studies were divided into "average" or "specific positivity" group according to whether the patients were selected by a certain pathological expression. We conducted a Bayesian network meta-analysis for all regimens in both groups. In average group, no regimen showed significant improvements in overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS), while pembrolizumab and nivolumab combined with chemotherapy were ranked first and second respectively without an obvious safety difference. In specific positivity group, zolbetuximab plus chemotherapy significantly prolonged OS (HR 0.53, 95% CI 0.36-0.79) and PFS (HR 0.45, 95% CI 0.25-0.81). The top three regimens were zolbetuximab-chemotherapy, trastuzumab plus pertuzuma-chemotherapy and nivolumab-chemotherapy respectively, with no significant safety risk. For average patients, immune checkpoint inhibitor PD-1 plus chemotherapy will be the promising regimen. For patients with overexpression of CLDN18.2, zolbetuximab combined with chemotherapy comes with greater survival benefits, while for patients who have PD-L1 expression with no HER-2 or CLDN18.2 positivity, additional immune checkpoint inhibitor of PD-1 will be a good considered option.

Abstract
The use of target agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors have changed the treatment landscape for AGC in the first-line setting. However, the crosswise comparison between each regimen is rare. Therefore, we estimated the efficacy and safety of targeted therapy or immunotherapy with chemotherapy in AGC patients as the first-line treatment. Included studies were divided into "average" or "specific positivity" group according to whether the patients were selected by a certain pathological expression. We conducted a Bayesian network meta-analysis for all regimens in both groups. In average group, no regimen showed significant improvements in overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS), while pembrolizumab and nivolumab combined with chemotherapy were ranked first and second respectively without an obvious safety difference. In specific positivity group, zolbetuximab plus chemotherapy significantly prolonged OS (HR 0.53, 95% CI 0.36-0.79) and PFS (HR 0.45, 95% CI 0.25-0.81). The top three regimens were zolbetuximab-chemotherapy, trastuzumab plus pertuzuma-chemotherapy and nivolumab-chemotherapy respectively, with no significant safety risk. For average patients, immune checkpoint inhibitor PD-1 plus chemotherapy will be the promising regimen. For patients with overexpression of CLDN18.2, zolbetuximab combined with chemotherapy comes with greater survival benefits, while for patients who have PD-L1 expression with no HER-2 or CLDN18.2 positivity, additional immune checkpoint inhibitor of PD-1 will be a good considered option.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is an enigmatic malignancy that has recently been shown to be increasing in incidence globally. There has been recent progress in emerging technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Improvements in non-invasive diagnostic techniques with serological tests and biomarkers have led to decreased use of invasive procedures such as endoscopy. A multidisciplinary approach is used to treat gastric cancer, with recent significant advancements in systemic therapies used in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapies. New therapeutic targets have been identified and clinical trials are taking place to assess their efficacy and safety. In this review, we provide an overview of the current and emerging treatment strategies and diagnostic techniques for gastric cancer.

Abstract
Many phase III trials failed to demonstrate a survival benefit from the addition of molecular therapy to conventional chemotherapy for advanced and metastatic gastric cancer, and only three agents were approved by the FDA. We examined the efficacy and safety of novel drugs recently investigated. PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library were searched for phase III randomized controlled trials published from January 2016 to December 2020. Patients in the experimental arm received molecular therapy with or without conventional chemotherapy, while those in the control arm had conventional chemotherapy alone. The primary outcomes were overall and progression-free survival. The secondary outcomes were the rate of tumor response, severe adverse effects, and quality of life. Eight studies with a total of 4223 enrolled patients were included. The overall and progression-free survival of molecular and conventional therapy were comparable. Most of these trials did not find a significant difference in tumor response rate and in the number of severe adverse effects and related deaths between the experimental and control arms. The survival benefits of molecular therapies available to date for advanced and metastatic gastric cancer are rather unclear, mostly due to inaccurate patient selection, particularly concerning oncogene amplification and copy number.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of malignant tumor-related mortality worldwide. Traditional cytotoxic agents prolong the overall survival and progression-free survival of patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) compared to that with best supportive care. Due to the occurrence of serious adverse drug reactions that result in discontinued treatment, the survival benefit in AGC remains unsatisfactory. Systemic chemotherapy regimens have changed greatly, especially since the introduction of trastuzumab. Nevertheless, HER2 positivity is present in only approximately 20% of tumors. Due to the genetic heterogeneity and complexity of patients, there are many studies in progress that are exploring novel targeted drugs as an alternative to chemotherapy or adjuvant treatment in early-stage, progressive, and advanced gastric cancer. On the basis of the differences in gene expression profiles among patients, searching for specific and sensitive predictive biomarkers is important for identifying patients who will benefit from a specific targeted drug. With the development of targeted therapies and available chemotherapeutic drugs, there is no doubt that, over time, more patients will achieve better survival outcomes. Recently, immune checkpoint blockade has been well developed as a promising anticancer strategy. This review outlines the currently available information on clinically tested molecular targeted drugs and immune checkpoint inhibitors for AGC to provide support for decision-making in clinical practice.

Abstract
Tumor angiogenesis plays an important role in cancer cell proliferation and metastasis. In gastric cancer, among the numerous clinical trials investigating various anti-angiogenic therapies, such as antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or anti-VEGF receptor (VEGFR)-2 monoclonal antibodies, VEGF-Trap and VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors, the anti-VEGFR-2 antibody ramucirumab was shown to prolong overall survival not only as a single agent but also in combination with paclitaxel as a second-line chemotherapy. Additionally, apatinib, a selective VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor, prolonged survival as a third-line or later treatment option in patients with advanced gastric cancer. Preliminary results of studies investigating ramucirumab plus immune checkpoint inhibitors in gastric cancer were encouraging, and further investigations are ongoing. In China, apatinib in combination with cytotoxic agents is being investigated for systemic chemotherapy or maintenance therapy as an earlier treatment option. The clinical activity in gastric cancer of the multikinase inhibitor regorafenib was suggested in a randomized phase II study. A global phase III trial comparing regorafenib with placebo is currently ongoing. Further studies of anti-angiogenic therapy combined with not only chemotherapy but also immune checkpoint inhibitors are also being pursued, providing hope for improved survival in patients with gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the clinical outcomes of S-1 plus cisplatin (SC) for the treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted by searching PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, China Biology Medicine disc (CBMdisc), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and WanFang Database, for all year up to January 2017. Pooled analyses of overall survival (OS), progress-free survival rates, and adverse events were performed. RESULTS A total of 8 random controlled trails (RCTs) consisting of 2699 patients with AGC were selected and included in this meta-analysis. The results of our meta-analysis showed that AGC patients who treated with SC regimen receive a similar OS (HR = 1.01, 95%CI: 0.86-1.18, P = .928), PFS (HR = 0.89, 95%CI: 0.72-1.09, P = .263), and overall response rate (HR = 0.88, 95%CI: 0.70-1.11, P = .283). However, SC regimen may increase the risk of 1 to 2 grade (OR = 1.128, 95%CI: 1.075-1.184, P = .000) and 3 to 4 grade (OR = 1.24, 95%CI: 1.01-1.52, P = .039) adverse events. CONCLUSION SC chemotherapy showed no difference in survival compared with 5-FU- and S-1-based other therapy, but has a higher rate of adverse events compared with other chemotherapy regimens.

Abstract
Metastatic gastric cancer is associated with a poor prognosis and novel treatment options are desperately needed. The development of targeted therapies heralded a new era for the management of metastatic gastric cancer, however results from clinical trials of numerous targeted agents have been mixed. The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors has yielded similar promise and results from early trials are encouraging. This review provides an overview of the systemic treatment options evaluated in metastatic gastric cancer, with a focus on recent evidence from clinical trials for targeted therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors. The failure to identify appropriate predictive biomarkers has hampered the success of many targeted therapies in gastric cancer, and a deeper understanding of specific molecular subtypes and genomic alterations may allow for more precision in the application of novel therapies. Identifying appropriate biomarkers for patient selection is essential for future clinical trials, for the most effective use of novel agents and in combination approaches to account for growing complexity of treatment options.

Abstract
Apatinib has been proved to be effective and safe among patients in gastric cancer in Phase II and III Trials. We aimed to evaluate its efficacy and safety in real world practice, and to explore factors associated with efficacy. Between January 2015 and February 2017, totally 36 patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma or adenocarcinoma of gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) were enrolled and followed up retrospectively after failing at least two lines of systemic therapy. The mPFS was 2.65 months (95%CI 1.66–3.54), and mOS was 5.8 months (95%CI 4.77–6.83). Two patients achieved partial response, and nineteen achieved stable disease. The disease control rate (DCR) was 58.3%, and objective response rate (ORR) was 5.6%. Common grade adverse events were hypertension (38.9%), proteinuria (36.1%), and neutropenia (33.3%). And the most common adverse events over grade 3 were hand-foot syndrome (8.3%), anemia (5.6%), and diarrhea (5.6%). No treatment-related death was documented during the drug administration. Exploratory analyses indicated patients treated with antiangiogenic therapy previously were more likely to benefit from apatinib.

Abstract
Despite advancements in therapy for advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancers, their prognosis remains dismal. Tumor angiogenesis plays a key role in cancer growth and metastasis, and recent studies indicate that pharmacologic blockade of angiogenesis is a promising approach to therapy. In this systematic review, we summarize current literature on the clinical benefit of anti-angiogenic agents in advanced gastric cancer. We conducted a systematic search of PubMed and conference proceedings including the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the European Society for Medical Oncology, and the European Cancer Congress. Included studies aimed to prospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-angiogenic agents in advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. Each trial investigated at least one of the following endpoints: overall survival, progression-free survival/time to progression, and/or objective response rate. Our search yielded 139 publications. Forty-two met the predefined inclusion criteria. Included studies reported outcomes with apatinib, axitinib, bevacizumab, orantinib, pazopanib, ramucirumab, regorafenib, sorafenib, sunitinib, telatinib, and vandetanib. Second-line therapy with ramucirumab and third-line therapy with apatinib are the only anti-angiogenic agents so far shown to significantly improve survival of patients with advanced gastric cancer. Overall, agents that specifically target the vascular endothelial growth factor ligand or receptor have better safety profile compared to multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

The effect of anti-angiogenic agents on overall survival in metastatic oesophago-gastric cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0172307. [PMID: 28222158 PMCID: PMC5319652 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0172307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2016] [Accepted: 02/02/2017] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies of anti-angiogenic agents (AAs), combined with chemotherapy (chemo) or as monotherapy in metastatic oesophago-gastric cancer (mOGC), have reported mixed outcomes. We undertook systematic review and meta-analysis to determine their overall benefits and harms. METHODS Randomized controlled trials in mOGC were sought investigating the addition of AAs to standard therapy (best supportive care or chemo). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) with secondary endpoints progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR) and toxicity. Estimates of treatment effect from individual trials were combined using standard techniques. Subgroup analyses were performed by line of therapy, region, age, performance status, histological type, number of metastatic sites, primary site, mechanism of action and HER2 status. RESULTS Fifteen trials evaluating 3502 patients were included in quantitative analysis. The addition of AAs was associated with improved OS: HR 0·81 (95% CI 0·75-0·88, p<0·00001) and improved PFS: HR 0·68 (95% CI 0·63-0·74, p<0·00001). Subgroup analyses favoured greater benefit for OS in 2nd/3rd line settings (HR 0·74) compared to 1st-line settings (HR 0·91) (X2 = 6·00, p = 0·01). OS benefit was seen across all regions-Asia (HR 0·83) and rest of world (HR 0·75)-without significant subgroup interaction. Results from 8 trials evaluating 2602 patients were pooled for toxicity > = Grade 3: with OR 1·39 (95% CI 1·17-1·65). CONCLUSIONS The addition of AAs to standard therapy in mOGC improves OS. Improved efficacy was only observed in 2nd- or 3rd-line setting and not in 1st-line setting. Consistent OS benefit was present across all geographical regions. This benefit is at the expense of increased overall toxicity.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinical effects and safety of bevacizumab combined with S-1 as the second-line treatment of recurrent and/or metastatic esophageal cancer after chemoradiation. Methods Patients with recurrent or metastatic esophageal cancer after chemoradiation were treated with bevacizumab and S-1. Bevacizumab was used by intravenous infusion, 7.5mg/kg body weight on day 1; S-1 was used by oral at 80mg/m2·d on day 1-14, 21 days as a cycle of treatment and repeated until either pro- gressive disease or intolerable toxicity occurred. Chest CT were performed and RECIST 1.1 was used for response evaluation. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Side effects were recorded and analyzed. Results Totally 78 patients were enrolled in the study, including 67 squamous cell carcinoma and 11 adenocarcinoma histologically. The overall response (CR+PR) rate was 22.4% (17/76) and disease control (CR+PR+SD) rate was 61.8% (47/76) respectively. The median follow-up time was 20 months (range from 9 to 44 months). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 4.9 months (95% CI 4.4-5.5) and the median overall survival (OS) was 8.1 months (95% CI 7.6-9.2). The median PFS and OS of patients with metastasis diseases were 6.2 months (95% CI 3.3 to 6.3) and 8.5 months (95% CI 5.8 to 11.2), where PFS was longer than that of patients with local regional recurrence (median 5.0 months, 95% CI 3.0 to 5.5, P=0.017) and OS was longer than that of patients with regional disease and metastasis (median 8.0 months, 95% CI 4.6 to 9.5, P=0.010). The common adverse effects were mild to moderate neutropenia (84.2%), grade I-II hand and foot syndrome (51.3%), grade I-II nausea (48.7%), mild epistaxis (30.1%) and mild vomiting (14.5%). Esophageal bleeding occurred in 7.9% of patients. One patient (1.3%) died from massive bleeding which was caused by esophageal perforation. Conclusion Bevacizumab combined with S-1 was effective and safe for esophageal cancer patients who had recurrent or metastatic diseases after chemoradiation.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies and small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) directed against the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or its receptors have been investigated in several studies for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer (GC). In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of angiogenesis inhibitors in advanced GC. We searched published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing angiogenesis inhibitors with non-angiogenesis inhibitors for the treatment of GC. MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register were searched. The extracted data on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were measured in terms of hazard ratios (HR) and corresponding 95 % confidence intervals (CIs). In addition, risk ratios (RR) and corresponding 95 % CIs were pooled for objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and risk of adverse events (AEs). Ten RCTs involving 2786 patients were included. Compared with non-angiogenesis inhibitor-containing regimens, angiogenesis inhibitor-containing regimens resulted in a significant improvement in OS (HR 0.80, 95 % CI 0.69-0.93, P = 0.004), prolonged PFS (HR 0.66, 95 % CI 0.51-0.86, P = 0.002), and superior ORR (RR 1.34, 95 % CI 1.09-1.65, P = 0.005) and DCR (RR 1.37, 95 % CI 1.17-1.61, P = 0.0001). Angiogenesis inhibitors were associated with a greater number of AEs, but most of these were predictable and manageable. However, hand-foot syndrome, diarrhea, and gastrointestinal (GI) perforation were significantly increased in patients treated with angiogenesis inhibitors. In summary, angiogenesis inhibitor-containing regimens were superior to non-angiogenesis inhibitor-containing regimens in terms of OS, PFS, RR, and DCR in patients with advanced GC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of our meta-analysis is to assess the efficacy and safety of the target combined chemotherapy for the patients with unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric cancer. METHODS In accordance with the standard meta-analysis procedures, the patients included in our study were with unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric cancer and allocated randomly to receive target combined chemotherapy or the traditional chemotherapy. The search was applied to PubMed, EMBASE, Science Citation Index Expanded, Cocran's library (from inception to February 2016). All analyses were performed by STATA 12.0, with the odds ratio, hazard ratio, and 95 % confidence interval as the effect measures. RESULTS Fourteen studies were included in this meta-analysis. A total of 5067 patients with advanced gastric cancer were divided into two arms: traditional chemotherapy arm and target combined chemotherapy arm. A significant improvement for overall survival (hazard ratio was 0.89, 95 % confidence interval: 0.83-0.95) and overall response rate (odds ratio was 1.44, 95 % confidence interval: 1.15-1.81) was observed, but no significant difference was found for progression-free survival (hazard ratio was 0.89, 95 % confidence interval: 0.77-1.00) in the target combined chemotherapy arm. In subgroup analysis, increasing benefits regarding overall survival and progression-free survival were found in anti epidermal growth factor receptor target drugs for selected patients subgroup and anti vascular endothelial growth factor receptor target drugs for unselected patients subgroup, but not in anti epidermal growth factor receptor target drugs for unselected patients subgroup. Besides, some adverse events were increased in the target combined chemotherapy arm. CONCLUSIONS The target combined chemotherapy represented a better overall survival benefit and treatment efficiency and higher incidence of some grade 3-4 adverse events than the traditional chemotherapy for patients with unresectable advanced or recurrence gastric cancer. The anti vascular endothelial growth factor receptor drugs can improve the efficacy in the whole patients with unresectable advanced or recurrence gastric cancer and the anti epidermal growth factor receptor target drugs can only improve the efficacy in the epidermal growth factor receptor positive patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer and third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Complete resection of the whole tumor remains the only approach to treat this malignant disease. Since gastric cancer is usually asymptomatic in its early stages, many people are diagnosed at an advanced stage when the tumor is inoperable. In addition, because other conventional treatments (radiotherapy and chemotherapy) have only modest efficacy for those with advanced/metastatic gastric cancer, the prognosis in such cases is poor. Recently, trials have provided some promising results regarding molecular-targeted therapy, raising the possibility that the development of these agents could be a fruitful approach. However, the benefit of molecular-targeted therapy for advanced gastric cancer remains inconclusive. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy and safety of molecular-targeted therapy , either alone or in combination with chemotherapy, in people with advanced gastric cancer. SEARCH METHODS We searched the following databases (from inception to December 2015): the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL. In addition, we searched the reference lists of included trials and contacted experts in the field. SELECTION CRITERIA We searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in adults (aged 18 years or older) with histologically-confirmed advanced adenocarcinoma of the stomach/gastro-esophageal junction. Trials of participants with esophageal adenocarcinoma were also considered to be eligible. The eligible trials should aim to evaluate the effects of molecular-targeted agents on participants' prognosis. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently performed selection of eligible trials, assessment of trial quality, and data extraction. We used methods of survival analysis and expressed the intervention effect as a hazard ratio (HR) when pooling time-to-event data, and calculated the odds ratio (OR) for dichotomous data and mean differences (MDs) for continuous data, with 95% confidence intervals (CI). MAIN RESULTS We included 11 studies randomizing 4014 participants to molecular-targeted therapy plus conventional chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone. Five were at low risk of bias, and we considered the risk of bias in the other six studies to be high, mainly due to their open-label design. All identified studies reported data regarding survival. We found low-quality evidence that molecular-targeted may have a small effect on mortality (HR 0.92, 95% CI 0.80 to 1.05, 10 studies) compared with conventional chemotherapy alone. Similarly, it may have little effect on progression-free survival when compared with conventional chemotherapy alone (HR 0.90, 95% CI 0.78 to 1.04, 11 studies; low-quality evidence). We did not find evidence from subgroup analysis that survival outcomes differed by type of molecular-targeted agent (EGFR- or VEGF-targeting agents) or tumor type, meaning that we were unable to explain the variation in effect across the studies by the presence or absence of prognostic biomarkers or type of molecular-targeted agent. From 11 eligible trials, we were able to use data from 3723 participants with measurable tumors. We found low-quality evidence that molecular-targeted therapy may increase tumor response (OR 1.24, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.55, low-quality evidence). Data from one small trial were too limited to determine the effect of treatment on quality of life (very low-quality evidence). The addition of targeted therapy to chemotherapy probably increases the risk of adverse events (OR 2.23, 95% CI 1.27 to 3.92, 5 trials, 2290 participants, moderate-quality evidence) and severe adverse event (OR 1.19, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.37, 8 trials, 3800 participants), compared with receiving chemotherapy alone. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS There is uncertainty about the effect of adding targeted therapy to chemotherapy on survival outcomes in people with advanced gastric cancer, with very little information on its impact on quality of life. There is more certain evidence of increased risk of adverse events and serious adverse events. The main limitation of the evidence for survival outcomes was inconsistency of effects across the studies, which we could not explain by prespecified subgroups in terms of the type of therapy or tumor type. Ongoing studies in this area are small and unlikely to improve our understanding of the effects of targeted therapy, and larger studies are needed.

Abstract
There is a debate whether triplet or doublet chemotherapy should be used as a first-line treatment in patients with advanced or metastatic esophagogastric cancer. Therefore, here we will review the available literature to assess the efficacy and safety of triplet versus doublet chemotherapy as a first-line treatment in patients with advanced esophagogastric cancer. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) between 1980 and March 2015 for randomized controlled phase II and III trials comparing triplet with doublet chemotherapy and abstracts of major oncology meetings from 1990 to 2014. Twenty-one studies with a total of 3475 participants were included in the meta-analysis for overall survival. An improvement in overall survival (OS) (hazard ratio (HR) 0.90, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.83–0.97) and progression-free survival (PFS) (HR 0.80, 95 % CI 0.69–0.93) was observed in favor of triplet. In addition, the use of triplet was associated with better objective response rate (ORR) (risk ratio 1.25, 95 % CI 1.09–1.44) compared to doublet. The risks of grade 3–4 thrombocytopenia (6.2 vs 3.8 %), infection (10.2 vs 6.4 %), and mucositis (9.7 vs 4.7 %) were statistically significantly increased with triplet compared to doublet. This review shows that first-line triplet therapy is superior to doublet therapy in patients with advanced esophagogastric cancer. However, the survival benefit is limited and the risks of grade 3–4 thrombocytopenia, infection, and mucositis are increased.

Abstract
PURPOSE Angiogenesis is a promising therapeutic target to inhibit tumor growth. This review summarizes data from clinical trials of anti-angiogenic agents in gastric cancer. DESIGN A systematic search of PubMed, Embase and conference databases is performed to identify clinical trials with specific anti-angiogenic agents in gastric cancer treatment RESULTS The risk of disease progression (37-52%) and death (19-22%) with ramucirumab as second-line treatment decreases in phase III trials in advanced gastric cancer. No significant improvement in overall survival (OS) with the addition of bevacizumab to chemotherapy is shown. Bevacizumab or ramucirumab combined with traditional chemotherapy is associated with higher adverse event rate compared to chemotherapy alone. Except for apatinib, phase II trials of other tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) may improve overall response rate, but there are no significant improvements in OS and progression-free survival (PFS) when combined with chemotherapy. CONCLUSION Phase III trials in advanced gastric cancer have demonstrated improved outcome with ramucirumab as second-line treatment. Most of the other studies on anti-angiogenic agents in gastric cancer have reported improvement in response rate but not in OS compared to chemotherapy alone. Future research is expected in optimizing the anti-angiogenic therapy combined with traditional treatment.

Abstract
Advanced gastric cancer ranks second as the global leading cause of cancer-related death and improvements in systemic chemotherapy have reached a plateau. Advanced molecular sequencing techniques help identifying patients more likely to respond to targeted agents; nevertheless we are still far from major breakthroughs. Although antiangiogenic drugs have produced notable advances, redundant pathways or mechanisms of resistance may limit their efficacy. Novel compounds have been recently developed to specifically target VEGF receptors, PlGF, FGF, MET, and angiopoietin. Ramucirumab, a monoclonal antibody specifically directed against the VEGFR-2, has emerged as a novel therapeutic opportunity. REGARD and RAINBOW were the first phase III studies to report the value of this strategy in gastric cancer patients, and other ongoing trials are testing novel antiangiogenic compounds. The aim of our review is to present the state-of-the-art of novel antiangiogenic compounds in advanced gastric cancer, underlying the biology, their mechanism of action, and their clinical results.

Abstract
Purpose This study analyzed the role of plasma biomarkers for TSU-68 in a previous phase II trial comparing TSU-68 plus docetaxel and docetaxel alone in patients with metastatic breast cancer. Materials and Methods A total of 77 patients were eligible for this study (38 in the TSU-68 plus docetaxel arm and 39 in the docetaxel alone arm). Blood samples were collected prior to the start of each cycle, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-AA, -AB, -BB, fibroblast growth factor, M30, C-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels were measured using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Results In patients with baseline PDGF-AA ≥ median, median PFS was significantly worse in the TSU-68 plus docetaxel group than in the docetaxel alone group (5.4 months vs. 13.7 months, p=0.049), while a trend toward a PFS benefit was observed in those with baseline PDGF-AA < median (9.7 months vs. 4.0 months, p=0.18; p for interaction=0.03). In the TSU-68 plus docetaxel group, PFS showed significant association with fold changes in CRP (p=0.001), IL-6 (p < .001), PDGF-BB (p=0.02), and VEGF (p=0.047) following the first treatment cycle. Conclusion Baseline PDGF-AA levels and dynamics of VEGF, PDGF-BB, CRP, and IL-6 levels were predictive for the efficacy of TSU-68.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials on the role of targeted therapy in the management of advanced gastric cancer: Evidence does not translate? Cancer Biol Ther 2015; 16:1148-59.

Abstract
It is still uncertain if targeted therapy-based regimens in advanced gastric cancer actually produce survival benefit. To shed light on this important question, we performed a systematic review and meta-analyses on each relevant targeted-pathway. By searching literature databases and proceedings of major cancer meetings in the time-frame 2005-2014, 22 randomized clinical trials exploring targeted therapy for a total of 7022 advanced gastric cancer patients were selected and included in the final analysis. Benefit was demonstrated for antiangiogenic agents in terms of overall survival (HR 0.759; 95%CI 0.655-0.880; p < 0.001). Conversely no benefit was found for EGFR pathway (HR 1.077; 95%CI 0.847-1.370; p = 0.543). Meta-analysis of HER-2 pathway confirmed improvement in terms of survival outcome, already known for this class of drugs (HR 0.823; 95%CI 0.722-0.939; p = 0.004). Pooled analysis demonstrated a significant survival benefit (OS: HR 0.823; PFS: HR 0.762) with acceptable tolerability profile for targeted-based therapies as compared to conventional treatments. This finding conflicts with the outcome of most individual studies, probably due to poor trial design or patients selection. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate a significant survival benefit for targeted therapy in its whole, which can be ascribed to anti-angiogenic and anti-HER2 agents.

Shimoda M, Kubota K, Shimizu T, Katoh M. Randomized clinical trial of adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 versus gemcitabine after pancreatic cancer resection. Br J Surg 2015; 102:746-54.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Randomized studies of adjuvant chemotherapy using gemcitabine suggest a survival benefit after resection of pancreatic cancer. S-1 has also been shown to prolong survival in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer. This study compared the effects of adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 or gemcitabine after resection of pancreatic cancer in a randomized trial. METHODS Patients who had undergone resection of pancreatic cancer were registered in this randomized clinical trial. The primary endpoint was disease-free survival (DFS). Expression levels of thymidylate synthase (TS) and dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) mRNAs in cancer tissues were measured as indicators of fluoropyrimidine sensitivity. RESULTS Of 57 patients registered, 29 were allocated to the S-1 group and 28 to gemcitabine. DFS tended to be better with S-1 (median 14·6 (90 per cent c.i. 8·8 to 28·4) months versus 10·5 (7·0 to 28·4) months in the gemcitabine group; P = 0·188), with a similar pattern for overall survival: 21·5 (95 per cent c.i. 14·4 to 42·3) and 18·0 (13·3 to 42·8) months respectively (P = 0·293). When patients were divided into subgroups based on high or low DPD and TS expression, those with a DPD level below the median of 0·88 or a TS level of at least 2·00 had a significant prolongation of DFS after S-1 treatment compared with gemcitabine (P = 0·008 and P = 0·035 respectively). CONCLUSION Overall, S-1 did not improve DFS compared with gemcitabine after pancreatic cancer resection, but there seemed to be a DFS advantage in patients with low expression of DPD or high expression of TS.

Abstract
Inhibition of vascular epithelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathways has proven to be an effective strategy for the treatment of several common solid tumors, but its role in the management of advanced gastric cancer (AGC) is yet to be defined. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess the efficacy and safety of anti-VEGF agents in the treatment of AGC. Several databases were searched, including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases. The endpoints were overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR), and grade 3 or 4 adverse events (AEs). The pooled hazard ratio (HR) or relative risk (RR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were calculated employing fixed- or random-effects models depending on the heterogeneity of the included trials. Seven RCTs which involved 2,340 patients were ultimately identified. The pooled analysis demonstrated that anti-VEGF therapy significantly improved OS (HR 0.74, 95 % CI 0.61-0.91, p = 0.003), PFS (HR 0.59, 95 % CI 0.44-0.78, p < 0.001), and ORR (RR 1.43, 95 % CI 1.14-1.79, p = 0.002) when compared to non-anti-VEGF therapy. Sensitivity analysis further confirmed this association. Additionally, more incidences of grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia, diarrhea, and hypertension were observed in anti-VEGF therapy. The anti-VEGF therapy offers a significant survival benefit in patients with AGC, especially for those previously treated patients, when compared to non-anti-VEGF therapy. With the present available data from randomized clinical trials, we could not clearly set the role of specific anti-VEGF agents in the treatment of AGC. Further studies are recommended to identify patients who could derive greater benefits from specific anti-VEGF agents.
