Naher SK, Mercieca-Bebber R, Siu D, Stockler MR, Kiely BE, Grimison P. Estimating survival scenarios in advanced or metastatic gastric and oesophageal adenocarcinoma: a systematic review of randomized-controlled trials. Curr Med Res Opin 2024; 40:1357-1367. [PMID: 38961804 DOI: 10.1080/03007995.2024.2376129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to summarize survival data from RCTs in patients with GO adenocarcinoma; estimate and explain worst-, typical-, and best-case-scenarios of survival time; and determine if simple multiples of median overall survival (mOS) could estimate these percentiles. METHODS We systematically searched RCTs of systemic therapies for GO adenocarcinoma published 2000-2022. The following key percentiles were extracted from overall survival curves: 90th (worst-case), 75th (lower-typical), 25th (upper-typical), and 10th (best-case). We tested if these percentiles could be estimated by simple multiples of mOS: 0.25 of the median for the 90th percentile, 0.5 for the 75th, 2 for the 25th, and 3 for the 10th. RESULTS We identified 44 trials (22,447 participants). For first line chemotherapy and immunotherapy combined (CI) trials (n = 3) worst-to-best case survival time ranged from 4 months to not reached, compared to 3-30 months for other trials (n = 27) and 1-23 months for subsequent lines (n = 14). Simple multiples of mOS accurately estimated the following survival percentiles: 90th (n = 3/3 trials), 75th (n = 3/3), and 25th (n = 2/3) in first line CI trials. In other first line trials, the mOS accurately estimated the 90th survival percentile in n = 22/27 trials, 75th percentile in n = 26/27, 25th percentile in 27/27 trials, and 10th percentile in 22/27 trials. Simple multiples of the mOS accurately predicted the 90th, 75th, 25th, and 10th survival percentiles in the majority of trials of second and subsequent lines apart from chemotherapy and immunotherapy only trials. CONCLUSION We provide realistic, evidence-based prognostic information as scenarios for survival time which can inform clinical decision-making. Simple multiples of the mOS accurately estimated the percentiles for most groups.

Darwish IA, Zhang D, Alsalhi MS. A novel highly sensitive inner filter effect-based fluorescence immunoassay with quantum dots for bioanalysis of zolbetuximab, a monoclonal antibody used for immunotherapy of gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Heliyon 2024; 10:e34611. [PMID: 39114008 PMCID: PMC11305320 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e34611] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Zolbetuximab (ZOL) is a groundbreaking monoclonal antibody targeting CLDN 18.2, a cancer cell surface protein. It is a first-in-class therapy for gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. However, there is currently any immunoassay available for bioanalysis of ZOL, hindering its pharmacokinetic studies, therapeutic monitoring, and safety profile refinement. To address this gap, this study presents the development and validation of a novel highly sensitive inner filter effect-based fluorescence immunoassay (IFE-FIA) with quantum dots (QDs) as a probe. This assay enables the quantitative determination of ZOL in plasma samples. The assay involved non-competitive capturing of ZOL from the samples using a specific antigen (CLDN 18.2 protein) immobilized on assay plate microwells. A horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labelled anti-human IgG was used to measure the immune complex. The assay's detection system relies on the formation of a light-absorbing colored product through an HRP-catalyzed oxidative reaction with the substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine. This light absorption efficiently quenched the fluorescence of QDs via the IFE. The measured fluorescence signals corresponded to the concentrations of ZOL in the samples. The conditions of the IFE-FIA and its detection system were refined, and the optimum procedures were established. Following the guidelines of immunoassay validation for bioanalysis, the assay was validated, and all the validation criteria were acceptable. The assay demonstrates high sensitivity, accurately quantifying ZOL at concentrations as low as 10 ng/mL in plasma samples, with acceptable precision. Importantly, it avoids interferences from endogenous substances and plasma matrix. The recoveries in spiked human plasma ranged from 96.8 % to 104.5 %, with relative standard deviations of 4.1 %-6.5 %. The proposed IFE-FIA represents a valuable tool for quantifying ZOL in clinical settings, enabling assessment of its pharmacokinetics, therapeutic drug monitoring, and safety profile refinement.

Rapid detection of the irinotecan-related UGT1A1 & 5-fluorouracil related DPYD polymorphism by asymmetric polymerase chain reaction melting curve analysis. Clin Chim Acta 2024; 561:119761. [PMID: 38848897 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2024.119761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2024] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Determination of DPYD and UGT1A1 polymorphisms prior to 5-fluorouracil and irinotecan therapy is crucial for avoiding severe adverse drug effects. Hence, there is a pressing need for accurate and reliable genotyping methods for the most common DPYD and UGT1A1 polymorphisms. In this study, we introduce a novel polymerase chain reaction (PCR) melting curve analysis method for discriminating DPYD c.1236G > A, c.1679 T > G, c.2846A > T, IVS14 + 1G > A and UGT1A1*1, *28, *6 (G71R) genotypes. METHODS Following protocol optimization, this technique was employed to genotype 28 patients, recruited between March 2023 and October 2023, at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University. These patients included 20 with UGT1A1 *1/*1, 8 with UGT1A1 *1/*28, 4 with UGT1A1 *28/*28, 22 with UGT1A1*6 G/G, 6 with UGT1A1*6 G/A, 4 with UGT1A1*6 A/A, 27 with DPYD(c.1236) G/G, 3 with DPYD(c.1236) G/A, 2 with DPYD(c.1236) A/A, 27 with DPYD(c.1679) T/T, 2 with DPYD(c.1679) T/G, 3 with DPYD(c.1679) G/G, 28 with DPYD(c.2846A/T) A/A, 2 with DPYD(c.2846A/T) A/T, 2 with DPYD(c.2846A/T) T/T, 28 with DPYD(c.IVS14 + 1) G/G, 2 with DPYD(c.IVS14 + 1) G/G, and 2 with DPYD(c.IVS14 + 1) G/G, as well as 3 plasmid standards. Method accuracy was assessed by comparing results with those from Sanger sequencing or Multiplex quantitative PCR(qPCR). Intra- and inter-run precision of melting temperatures (Tms) were calculated to evaluate reliability, and sensitivity was assessed through limit of detection examination. RESULTS The new method accurately identified all genotypes and exhibited higher accuracy than Multiplex qPCR. Intra- and inter-run coefficients of variation for Tms were both ≤1.97 %, with standard deviations ≤0.95 °C. The limit of detection was 0.09 ng/μL of input genomic DNA. CONCLUSION Our developed PCR melting curve analysis offers accurate, reliable, rapid, simple, and cost-effective detection of DPYD and UGT1A1 polymorphisms. Its application can be easily extended to clinical laboratories equipped with a fluorescent PCR platform.

[PMID: 38963593 DOI: 10.1007/s10120-024-01529-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a crucial component of targeted therapies in gastric cancer, potentially altering traditional treatment paradigms. Many ADCs have entered rigorous clinical trials based on biological theories and preclinical experiments. Modality trials have also been conducted in combination with monoclonal antibody therapies, chemotherapies, immunotherapies, and other treatments to enhance the efficacy of drug coordination effects. However, ADCs exhibit limitations in treating gastric cancer, including resistance triggered by their structure or other factors. Ongoing intensive researches and preclinical experiments are yielding improvements, while enhancements in drug development processes and concomitant diagnostics during the therapeutic period actively boost ADC efficacy. The optimal treatment strategy for gastric cancer patients is continually evolving. This review summarizes the clinical progress of ADCs in treating gastric cancer, analyzes the mechanisms of ADC combination therapies, discusses resistance patterns, and offers a promising outlook for future applications in ADC drug development and companion diagnostics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal chemotherapy backbone for HER2-negative advanced esophagogastric cancer, either in combination with targeted therapies or as a comparator in clinical trials, is uncertain. The subtle yet crucial differences in platinum-based regimens' safety and synergy with combination treatments need consideration. METHODS We analyzed cases from the AGAMENON-SEOM Spanish registry of HER2-negative advanced esophagogastric adenocarcinoma treated with platinum and fluoropyrimidine from 2008 to 2021. This study focused exclusively on patients receiving one of the four regimens: FOLFOX (5-FU and oxaliplatin), CAPOX (capecitabine and oxaliplatin), CP (capecitabine and cisplatin) and FP (5-FU and cisplatin). The aim was to determine the most effective and tolerable platinum and fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy regimen and to identify any prognostic factors. RESULTS Among 1293 patients, 36% received either FOLFOX (n = 468) or CAPOX (n = 466), 20% CP (n = 252), and 8% FP (n = 107). FOLFOX significantly increased PFS (progression free survival) compared to CP, with a hazard ratio of 0.73 (95% CI 0.58-0.92, p = 0.009). The duration of treatment was similar across all groups. Survival outcomes among regimens were similar, but analysis revealed worse ECOG-PS (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group-Performance Status), > 2 metastatic sites, bone metastases, hypoalbuminemia, higher NLR (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio), and CP regimen as predictors of poor PFS. Fatigue was common in all treatments, with the highest incidence in FOLFOX (77%), followed by FP (72%), CAPOX (68%), and CP (60%). Other notable toxicities included neuropathy (FOLFOX 69%, CAPOX 62%), neutropenia (FOLFOX 52%, FP 55%), hand-foot syndrome in CP (46%), and thromboembolic events (FP 12%, CP 11%). CONCLUSIONS FOLFOX shown better PFS than CP. Adverse effects varied: neuropathy was more common with oxaliplatin, while thromboembolism was more frequent with cisplatin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxaliplatin- and fluoropyrimidine-based triplet regimens have demonstrated feasibility and efficacy in the treatment of upper gastrointestinal (UGI) cancers. Herein, we evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of biweekly nab-paclitaxel plus oxaliplatin and S-1/leucovorin (SOLAR) in chemonaïve UGI cancers. METHODS A 3 + 3 phase 1 study was conducted to determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of oxaliplatin in SOLAR (nab-paclitaxel [150 mg/m2 in D1], oxaliplatin [60, 75, or 85 mg/m2 in D1], and oral S-1/leucovorin [35 mg/m2 and 30 mg bid from D1 to D7]). The secondary endpoints were overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. RESULTS Thirteen and 6 accruals were in the dose-escalation and MTD expansion cohorts, respectively. One of 6 patients at level III experienced dose-limiting toxicity (grade 3 diarrhea), which revealed that the MTD of oxaliplatin was 85 mg/m2. After a mean of 15.9 cycles of treatment, the most common treatment-related grade 3/4 toxicities were neutropenia (57.9%) and diarrhea (21.1%). The ORR was 63.2%. The median PFS and OS were 12.5 and 24.7 months, respectively. CONCLUSION The current study revealed the MTD of oxaliplatin and demonstrated the preliminary efficacy of SOLAR in UGI cancers, which deserves further investigation.

[PMID: 38927957 PMCID: PMC11202017 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16122251] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2024] [Revised: 06/14/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Based on the CheckMate 649 trial, nivolumab plus chemotherapy is the recommended first-line treatment for HER2-negative unresectable advanced or metastatic gastric, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), or esophageal adenocarcinoma. This nationwide, multicenter, retrospective study evaluated the real-world effectiveness of this regimen in Turkish patients and identified subgroups that may experience superior outcomes. Conducted across 16 oncology centers in Turkey, this study retrospectively reviewed the clinical charts of adult patients diagnosed with HER2-negative unresectable advanced or metastatic gastric, GEJ, or esophageal adenocarcinoma from 2016 to 2023. This study included 111 patients (54 women, 57 men) with a median age of 58 years. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 11.7 months and 18.2 months, respectively, whereas the objective response rate (ORR) was 70.3%. Multivariable analyses revealed that previous curative surgery was a favorable independent prognostic factor for both PFS and OS. Conversely, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 2 emerged as an adverse independent prognostic factor for OS. The safety profile of nivolumab plus chemotherapy was found to be manageable. Our findings support the use of nivolumab plus chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of Turkish patients with HER2-negative unresectable advanced or metastatic gastric, GEJ, or esophageal adenocarcinoma. Patient selection based on clinical characteristics is crucial for optimizing treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Importance Efficacy of second-line chemotherapy in advanced gastric or gastrooesphageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma remains limited. Ojectives To determine the efficacy of 1 or 2 immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with FOLFIRI (leucovorin [folinic acid], fluorouracil, and irinotecan) in the treatment of advanced gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma. Design, Setting, and Participants The PRODIGE 59-FFCD 1707-DURIGAST trial is a randomized, multicenter, noncomparative, phase 2 trial, conducted from August 27, 2020, and June 4, 2021, at 37 centers in France that included patients with advanced gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma who had disease progression after platinum-based first-line chemotherapy. Intervention Patients were randomized to receive FOLFIRI plus durvalumab (anti-programmed cell death 1 [PD-L1]) (FD arm) or FOLFIRI plus durvalumab and tremelimumab (anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 [CTLA-4]) (FDT arm). The efficacy analyses used a clinical cutoff date of January 9, 2023. Main outcome and Measures The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) at 4 months according to RECIST 1.1 criteria evaluated by investigators. Results Overall, between August 27, 2020, and June 4, 2021, 96 patients were randomized (48 in each arm). The median age was 59.7 years, 28 patients (30.4%) were women and 49 (53.3%) had GEJ tumors. Four month PFS was 44.7% (90% CI, 32.3-57.7) and 55.6% (90% CI, 42.3-68.3) in the FD and FDT arms, respectively. The primary end point was not met. Median PFS was 3.8 and 5.4 months, objective response rates were 34.7% and 37.7%, and median overall survival was 13.2 and 9.5 months in the FD and FDT arms, respectively. Disease control beyond 1 year was 14.9% in the FD arm and 24.4% in the FDT arm. Grade 3 to 4 treatment-related adverse events were observed in 22 (47.8%) patients in each arm. A combined positive score (CPS) PD-L1 of 5 or higher was observed in 18 tumors (34.0%) and a tumor proportion score (TPS) PD-L1 of 1% or higher in 13 tumors (24.5%). Median PFS according to CPS PD-L1 was similar (3.6 months for PD-L1 CPS ≥5 vs 5.4 months for PD-L1 CPS <5) by contrast for TPS PD-L1 (6.0 months for PD-L1 TPS ≥1% vs 3.8 months for PD-L1 TPS <1%). Conclusions and Relevance Combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors with FOLFIRI in second-line treatment for advanced gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma showed an acceptable safety profile but antitumor activity only in a subgroup of patients.

Topical Diclofenac for Prevention of Capecitabine-Associated Hand-Foot Syndrome: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial. J Clin Oncol 2024; 42:1821-1829. [PMID: 38412399 DOI: 10.1200/jco.23.01730] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Revised: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 02/29/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) is a dose-limiting side effect of capecitabine. Celecoxib prevents HFS by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) that is upregulated because of the underlying associated inflammation. However, systemic side effects of celecoxib have limited routine prescription. Topical diclofenac inhibits COX-2 locally with minimal risk of systemic adverse events. Therefore, we conducted this study to assess the efficacy of topical diclofenac in the prevention of capecitabine-induced HFS. METHODS In this single-site phase III randomized double-blind trial, we enrolled patients with breast or GI cancer who were planned to receive capecitabine-based treatment. Participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive topical diclofenac or placebo gel for 12 weeks or until the development of HFS, whichever occurred earlier. The primary end point was the incidence of grade 2 or 3 HFS (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5), which was compared between the two groups using simple logistic regression. RESULTS In total, 264 patients were randomly assigned to receive topical diclofenac gel (n = 131) or placebo (n = 133). Grade 2 or 3 HFS was observed in 3.8% of participants in the diclofenac group compared with 15.0% in the placebo group (absolute difference, 11.2%; 95% CI, 4.3 to 18.1; P = .003). Grade 1-3 HFS was lower in the diclofenac group than in the placebo group (6.1% v 18.1%; absolute risk difference, 11.9%; 95% CI, 4.1 to 19.6). Capecitabine dose reductions because of HFS were less frequent in the diclofenac group (3.8%) than in the placebo group (13.5%; absolute risk difference, 9.7%; 95% CI, 3.0 to 16.4). CONCLUSION Topical diclofenac prevented HFS in patients receiving capecitabine. This trial supports the use of topical diclofenac to prevent capecitabine-associated HFS.

Perioperative Chemotherapy for Gastro-Esophageal or Gastric Cancer: Anthracyclin Triplets versus FLOT. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:1291. [PMID: 38610969 PMCID: PMC11011191 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16071291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: The FLOT4-AIO trial (2019) showed improved survival with perioperative fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel (FLOT) compared to anthracyclin triplets in gastric cancer treatment. It is unclear whether these results extend to real-world scenarios in the Netherlands. This study aimed to compare outcomes of perioperative FLOT to anthracyclin triplets in a real-world Dutch gastric cancer population. Methods: Patients diagnosed with resectable (cT2-4a/cTxN0-3/NxM0) gastric or gastro-esophageal junction carcinoma between 2015-2021 who received neoadjuvant FLOT or anthracyclin triplets were selected from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS), analyzed through multivariable Cox regression. Secondary outcomes included pathological complete response (pCR), neoadjuvant chemotherapy cycle completion, surgical resection rates, and adjuvant therapy. Results: Adjusted OS showed no significant survival benefit (HR = 0.88, 95% CI 0.77-1.01, p = 0.07), even though the median OS was numerically improved by 8 months with FLOT compared to anthracyclin triplets (48.1 vs. 39.9 months, p = 0.16). FLOT patients were more likely to undergo diagnostic staging laparoscopies (74.2% vs. 44.1%, p < 0.001), had higher rates of completing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (OR = 1.35, 95% CI 1.09-1.68, p = 0.007), receiving adjuvant therapy (OR = 1.34, 95% CI 1.08-1.66, p = 0.08), and achieving pCR (OR = 1.52, 95% CI 1.05-2.20, p = 0.03). No significant differences were observed in (radical) resection rates. Conclusion(s): Real-world data showed no significant OS improvement for FLOT-treated patients compared to anthracyclin triplets, despite more staging laparoscopies. However, FLOT patients demonstrated higher rates of neoadjuvant therapy completion, proceeding to adjuvant therapy, and increased pCR rates. Therefore, we recommend the continued use of neoadjuvant FLOT therapy in the current clinical setting.

Abstract
Background To construct an effective prognostic index to predict overall survival (OS) and triplet regimen efficacy for advanced gastric cancer (AGC) patients treated with platinum-based and fluorouracil-based chemotherapy. Objectives Between 2011 and 2021, 679 patients from two randomized phase III trials and one phase II trial were enrolled. Designs We collected 11 baseline clinicopathological and 14 hematological parameters to establish a prognostic index. Methods Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were used to screen prognostic factors, and a prognostic index nomogram was conducted. Results Seven prognostic factors were identified: primary tumor site in the non-proximal gastric area, signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC)/mucinous carcinoma, peritoneal metastasis, neutrophil count higher than the upper limit of normal value (ULN), lymphocyte count lower than the lower limit of normal value, lactate dehydrogenase level higher than the ULN, and alkaline phosphatase level higher than the ULN as significant for prognosis. A prognostic nomogram named the Fudan advanced gastric cancer prognostic risk score (FARS) index was constructed, and patients in the high-risk group had significantly shorter OS than those in the low-risk group (median OS, 15.5 versus 8.0 months, p < 0.001). The areas under the curve of the FARS index for 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS were 0.70, 0.72, and 0.77, respectively. A validation and external cohort verified the prognostic value of the FARS index. Moreover, three triplet regimen efficacy parameters were identified: SRCC/mucinous adenocarcinoma, primary tumor location in the non-proximal gastric area, and peripheral neutrophil count higher than the ULN; a TRIS index was subsequently conducted. In patients with any two of the three parameters, the triplet regimen showed significantly longer OS than the doublet regimen (p = 0.018). Conclusion The constructed FARS index to predict the OS of AGC patients and the TRIS index to screen out the dominant population for triplet regimens can be used to aid clinical decision-making and individual risk stratification.

Safety and feasibility of minimally invasive gastrectomy following preoperative chemotherapy for highly advanced gastric cancer. BMC Gastroenterol 2024; 24:74. [PMID: 38360577 PMCID: PMC10870591 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-024-03155-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the safety and feasibility of minimally invasive gastrectomy in patients who underwent preoperative chemotherapy for highly advanced gastric cancer. METHODS Preoperative chemotherapy was indicated for patients with advanced large tumors (≥ cT3 and ≥ 5 cm) and/or bulky node metastasis (≥ 3 cm × 1 or ≥ 1.5 cm × 2). Between January 2009 and March 2022, 150 patients underwent preoperative chemotherapy followed by gastrectomy with R0 resection, including conversion surgery (robotic, 62; laparoscopic, 88). The outcomes of these patients were retrospectively examined. RESULTS Among them, 41 and 47 patients had stage IV disease and underwent splenectomy, respectively. Regarding operative outcomes, operative time was 475 min, blood loss was 72 g, morbidity (grade ≥ 3a) rate was 12%, local complication rate was 10.7%, and postoperative hospital stay was 14 days (Interquartile range: 11-18 days). Fifty patients (33.3%) achieved grade ≥ 2 histological responses. Regarding resection types, total/proximal gastrectomy plus splenectomy (29.8%) was associated with significantly higher morbidity than other types (distal gastrectomy, 3.2%; total/proximal gastrectomy, 4.9%; P < 0.001). Specifically, among splenectomy cases, the rate of postoperative complications associated with the laparoscopic approach was significantly higher than that associated with the robotic approach (40.0% vs. 0%, P = 0.009). In the multivariate analysis, splenectomy was an independent risk factor for postoperative complications [odds ratio, 8.574; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.584-28.443; P < 0.001]. CONCLUSIONS Minimally invasive gastrectomy following preoperative chemotherapy was feasible and safe for patients with highly advanced gastric cancer. Robotic gastrectomy may improve surgical safety, particularly in the case of total/proximal gastrectomy combined with splenectomy.

Abstract
The concept of oligometastasis is not yet fully established in the field of gastric cancer. However, metastatic lesions that are localized, technically resectable at diagnosis, present a certain response to preoperative chemotherapy, and present favorable survival outcomes with local treatments, sometimes in combination with chemotherapy, are recognized as oligometastasis in the field of gastric cancer. Oligometastasis is noted in European Society for Medical Oncology guidelines and Japanese gastric cancer treatment guidelines, and local treatment is mentioned as one of the pivotal treatment options for oligometastasis. Solitary liver metastasis or a small number of liver metastases; retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis, especially localized para-aortic lymph node metastasis; localized peritoneal dissemination; and Krukenberg tumor are representative types of oligometastasis in gastric cancer. The AIO-FLOT3 trial prospectively evaluated the efficacy of multimodal treatments for gastric cancer with oligometastasis, including surgical resection of primary and metastatic lesions combined with chemotherapy, confirming favorable survival outcomes. Two phase 3 studies are ongoing to investigate the efficacy of surgical resection combined with perioperative chemotherapy compared with palliative chemotherapy. Thus far, the evidence suggests that multimodal treatment for oligometastasis of gastric cancer is promising.

Front Pharmacol 2024; 14:1242548. [PMID: 38259276 PMCID: PMC10800465 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1242548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective: To systematically evaluate the safety and efficacy of docetaxel plus S-1-based therapy in gastric cancer treatment. Methods: PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and Web of Science electronic databases were searched for randomized controlled trials on docetaxel plus S-1-based therapy in the treatment of gastric cancer from the establishment of the database to 1 September 2022. Relevant studies were included per pre-defined eligibility criteria, and two researchers independently screened and assessed the included literature using Review Manager v5. Outcome measures and statistics related with efficacy and safety profiles were extracted from the included studies, and Stata v15.1 was used for pooled analysis. Results: Objective response rate (odds ratio = 2.34, 95% CI = [1.32, 4.13], p = 0.003), relapse-free survival (HR = 0.68, 95% CI = [0.58, 0.79], p < 0.001), progression-free survival (HR = 0.81, 95% CI = [0.68, 0.96], p = 0.016), and overall survival (HR = 0.86, 95% CI = [0.79, 0.95], p = 0.002) of docetaxel plus S-1-based therapy (DS-based therapy) in gastric cancer treatment were better than those of the non-DS-based therapy. However, DS-based therapy was associated with increased risk of certain adverse drug effects, such as alopecia, leukopenia, and oral mucositis. Further studies are warranted to validate the efficacy superiority of DS-based versus non-DS-based regimens as per our trial sequential analysis findings. Conclusion: DS-based therapy significantly improves patients' clinical outcomes in gastric cancer, albeit at the cost of increased toxicity. Further RCTs are needed to confirm the efficacy superiority of DS-based regimens.

Abstract
The 2023 update of the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) Clinical Guidelines for Gastric Cancer focuses on standardizing cancer diagnosis and treatment in China, reflecting the latest advancements in evidence-based medicine, healthcare resource availability, and precision medicine. These updates address the differences in epidemiological characteristics, clinicopathological features, tumor biology, treatment patterns, and drug selections between Eastern and Western gastric cancer patients. Key revisions include a structured template for imaging diagnosis reports, updated standards for molecular marker testing in pathological diagnosis, and an elevated recommendation for neoadjuvant chemotherapy in stage III gastric cancer. For advanced metastatic gastric cancer, the guidelines introduce new recommendations for immunotherapy, anti-angiogenic therapy and targeted drugs, along with updated management strategies for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive and deficient DNA mismatch repair (dMMR)/microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) patients. Additionally, the guidelines offer detailed screening recommendations for hereditary gastric cancer and an appendix listing drug treatment regimens for various stages of gastric cancer. The 2023 CSCO Clinical Guidelines for Gastric Cancer updates are based on both Chinese and international clinical research and expert consensus to enhance their applicability and relevance in clinical practice, particularly in the heterogeneous healthcare landscape of China, while maintaining a commitment to scientific rigor, impartiality, and timely revisions.

Abstract
Advanced gastric adenocarcinoma is a common disease with a poor prognosis whose treatment has for decades been based on cytotoxic chemotherapy, including platinum salts in first-line, and taxane or irinotecan in second or later line. Recent years have seen the emergence of new drugs that have improved patient survival, such as trastuzumab in first-line for HER2-positive tumors, ramucirumab alone or in combination with paclitaxel in second-line, and trifluridine-tipiracil beyond the second-line treatment. More recently, two monoclonal antibodies have demonstrated their efficacy in combination with oxaliplatin-based first-line chemotherapy, nivolumab (anti-PD1) for PD-L1 CPS ≥5 tumors, and zolbetuximab for tumors overexpressing Claudin 18.2. In addition, regorafenib has been also showed effective in phase 3 trial for heavily pretreated patients. Based on phase 2 studies, trastuzumab-deruxtecan was approved in 2022 by the EMA for HER2-positive pretreated patients. This agent is currently evaluated in phase 3 study (DESTINY-Gastric04 trial), as are several other anti-HER2 (zanidatamab, margetuximab, tucatinib), immune checkpoint inhibitors, or targeted therapies (anti-FGFR2b).

Abstract
Background Gastric cancer is a common cancer worldwide and is responsible for over one million new cases in 2020 and an estimated 769,000 deaths, ranking fifth for incidence and fourth for mortality globally. Incidence rates are highest in Eastern Asia and Eastern Europe. Gastric cancer is highly heterogeneous and progresses rapidly. The prognosis of gastric cancer with liver metastases is poor, and clinical treatment remains challenging. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positivity is correlated to a bad prognosis for gastric cancer. Trastuzumab combined with systemic chemotherapy is the preferred treatment for HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer. However, intravenous chemotherapy has severe systemic toxicity, which reduces the local drug concentration and tumor uptake rate, and the effect is unsatisfactory. Case summary We reported a 66-year-old patient with HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer with jaundice due to multiple liver metastases, after 6 cycles of trastuzumab combined with hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), the tumor retracted significantly, the jaundice subsided, and the patient recovered well. The patient achieved disease control with an intensive regimen followed by less toxic maintenance therapy. Trastuzumab combined with capecitabine maintenance therapy followed up for more than 16 months. Conclusion HAIC plus trastuzumab may be a tolerable treatment option for patients with severe liver metastases from HER2-positive gastric cancer to achieve local control and prolong survival.

Abstract
Importance Gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancers are diagnosed in more than 1 million people worldwide annually, and few effective treatments are available. Sintilimab, a recombinant human IgG4 monoclonal antibody that binds to programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), in combination with chemotherapy, has demonstrated promising efficacy. Objective To compare overall survival of patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancers who were treated with sintilimab with chemotherapy vs placebo with chemotherapy. Also compared were a subset of patients with a PD ligand 1 (PD-L1) combined positive score (CPS) of 5 or more (range, 1-100). Design, Setting, and Participants Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 clinical trial conducted at 62 hospitals in China that enrolled 650 patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma between January 3, 2019, and August 5, 2020. Final follow-up occurred on June 20, 2021. Interventions Patients were randomized 1:1 to either sintilimab (n = 327) or placebo (n = 323) combined with capecitabine and oxaliplatin (the XELOX regimen) every 3 weeks for a maximum of 6 cycles. Maintenance therapy with sintilimab or placebo plus capecitabine continued for up to 2 years. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was overall survival time from randomization. Results Of the 650 patients (mean age, 59 years; 483 [74.3%] men), 327 were randomized to sintilimab plus chemotherapy and 323 to placebo plus chemotherapy. Among the randomized patients, 397 (61.1%) had tumors with a PD-L1 CPS of 5 or more; 563 (86.6%) discontinued study treatment and 388 (59.7%) died; 1 patient (<0.1%) was lost to follow-up. Among all randomized patients, sintilimab improved overall survival compared with placebo (median, 15.2 vs 12.3 months; stratified hazard ratio [HR], 0.77 [95% CI, 0.63-0.94]; P = .009). Among patients with a CPS of 5 or more, sintilimab improved overall survival compared with placebo (median, 18.4 vs 12.9 months; HR, 0.66 [95% CI, 0.50-0.86]; P = .002). The most common grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events were decreased platelet count (sintilimab, 24.7% vs placebo, 21.3%), decreased neutrophil count (sintilimab, 20.1% vs placebo, 18.8%), and anemia (sintilimab, 12.5% vs placebo, 8.8%). Conclusions and Relevance Among patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma treated with first-line chemotherapy, sintilimab significantly improved overall survival for all patients and for patients with a CPS of 5 or more compared with placebo.

Abstract
Brain metastases develop in 0.5-0.7% of patients with gastric/gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancer. Although rare, brain metastasis is often identified when the patient is already symptomatic; hence prognosis is poor. Given the therapeutic developments for G/GEJ cancer, overall survival is prolonged, thereby the incidence of brain metastases is predicted to increase. We retrospectively surveyed the rate of brain metastasis among 1257 patients diagnosed with G/GEJ cancer who received chemotherapy between January 2011 and April 2021. We investigated the time of onset of brain metastasis, treatments administered, and impact of the metastasis on the overall treatment course and prognosis. Of the 741 patients included in the analysis, brain metastasis was confirmed in 16 (2.2%). The median survival time (MST) from G/GEJ cancer diagnosis was 14.9 months in patients with brain metastasis detected during the treatment period, and the MST from the diagnosis of brain metastasis was 2.8 months. Patients who received chemotherapy exhibited prolonged survival compared with those who did not (12.4 months vs 1.0 months, p < 0.001). Our findings suggest that the early detection of brain metastases and local therapy for poor responders to chemotherapy enable the continuation of chemotherapy and prolong survival.

Therap Adv Gastroenterol 2023; 16:17562848231207200. [PMID: 37928895 PMCID: PMC10624011 DOI: 10.1177/17562848231207200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Nivolumab plus chemotherapy (NC) was recently approved as the first-line intervention for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative advanced gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer (GC/GEJC). Moreover, in the latest KEYNOTE-859 (NCT03675737), pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy (PC) was demonstrated to produce remarkable patient survival outcomes. Objectives The clinicians and patients need to assess NC and PC preference for cancer drugs. Design The cost-effective analysis. Methods In an economic assessment of the United States, United Kingdom, and Chinese healthcare systems using a Markov model simulated patients with GC/GEJC, two treatment decision branches with three health states and a tracked time horizon of 15 years were developed. The overall cost and efficacy outcomes of first-line strategies PC and NC were evaluated at willingness-to-pay (WTP) thresholds of different national, including life-years (LYs), quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs), and incremental net-health benefit (INHB). Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were considered. Results Given a WTP threshold of $150,000, $60,161, and $37,653 per QALY in the United States, United Kingdom, and China, respectively, both PC and NC achieved QALYs of 1.67 and 1.65 (2.51 and 2.48 LYs), 1.65 and 1.63 (2.48 and 2.45 LYs), and 1.60 and 1.58 (2.40 and 2.37 LYs), with total costs of $242,444 and $232,617, $148,367 and $127,737, and $16,693 and $24,016, respectively. Based on our sensitivity analysis, the programmed death-1 inhibitors cost produced the largest impact on the outcome. In addition, the cost-effectiveness probabilities of PC were 38.3%, 4.1%, and 100% in the three aforementioned countries, respectively. Conclusion In the case of the Chinese payers' perspective, PC appeared more dominant as first-line therapy for advanced GC/GEJC patients, whereas NC was preferred in the United States and United Kingdom.

Meta-analysis of three randomized trials of capecitabine plus cisplatin (XP) versus S-1 plus cisplatin (SP) as first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer. Int J Clin Oncol 2023; 28:1501-1510. [PMID: 37634209 DOI: 10.1007/s10147-023-02402-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND S-1 plus cisplatin (SP) and capecitabine plus cisplatin (XP) are standard first-line regimens for advanced gastric cancer (AGC) worldwide. We conducted a meta-analysis using individual participant data (IPD) to investigate which is more suitable. METHODS IPD from three randomized trials were collected. In these trials, patients with AGC were randomly allocated to SP (S-1 80-120 mg for 21 days plus cisplatin 60 mg/m2 (q5w)) or XP (capecitabine 2000 mg/m2 for 14 days plus cisplatin 80 mg/m2 (q3w)). RESULTS In 211 eligible patients, median overall survival (OS) for SP versus XP was 13.5 and 11.7 months (hazard ratio [HR], 0.787; p = 0.114), progression-free survival (PFS) was 6.2 and 5.1 months (HR, 0.767; P = 0.076), and TTF was 5.1 and 4.0 months (HR, 0.611; P = 0.001). The most common grade ≥ 3 adverse events with SP or XP were neutropenia (18% vs. 29%) and anorexia (16% vs.18%). Subgroup analysis demonstrated significant interaction between treatment effect and performance status > 1 (HR, 0.685; P = 0.036), measurable lesion (HR, 0.709; P = 0.049), primary upper third tumor (HR, 0.539; P = 0.040), and differentiated type (HR, 0.549; interaction, 0.236; P = 0.019). For the differentiated type, OS was significantly longer in the SP group (13.2 months) than in the XP group (11.1 months) (HR, 0.549; P = 0.019). For the undifferentiated type, OS was similar in the SP group (14.2 months) and in the XP group (12.4 months) (HR, 0.868; P = 0.476). CONCLUSIONS SP and XP were both effective and well tolerated. SP might be suitable for the pathological differentiated subtype of AGC. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION The HERBIS-2, HERBIS-4A, and XParTS II trials were registered with UMIN-CTR as UMIN000006105, UMIN000006755, and UMIN000006045, respectively.

Efficacy and safety of zolbetuximab for first-line treatment of advanced Claudin 18. 2-positive gastric or gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1258347. [PMID: 37886169 PMCID: PMC10598679 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1258347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Zolbetuximab is a "first-in-class" chimeric lgG1 monoclonal antibody targeting Claudin18.2 (CLDN 18.2). In recent years, several important trials have been published showing that zolbetuximab is associated with improved prognosis in patients with advanced gastric or gastro-esophageal junction (G/GEJ) adenocarcinoma. This promises great change to the current treatment landscape. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of zolbetuximab for first-line treatment of advanced CLDN 18. 2-positive G/GEJ adenocarcinoma. Methods The following databases were searched for relevant studies: PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane library (updated 10 June 2023). All randomized trials comparing zolbetuximab plus chemotherapy versus first-line chemotherapy alone for first-line treatment of advanced CLDN 18. 2-positive G/GEJ adenocarcinoma were eligible for inclusion. Data were analyzed using Review Manager 5.4.1 (Cochrane collaboration software). Primary outcomes and measures included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and adverse events (AEs). Results This systematic review and meta-analysis included three randomized controlled studies involving 1,402 patients (699 receiving zolbetuximab plus chemotherapy and 703 receiving chemotherapy alone). Compared with chemotherapy alone, zolbetuximab plus chemotherapy significantly improved OS (HR = 0.73; 95% CI: 0.68-0.84) and PFS (HR = 0.64; 95% CI: 0.50-0.82), but did not result in a higher ORR (RR = 0.92; 95% CI: 0.82-1.03). Further analysis of CLDN 18.2 expression showed a more significant benefit for OS (HR = 0.69; 95% CI: 0.55-0.87; p = 0.002) and PFS (HR = 0.61; 95% CI: 0.44-0.84; p = 0.003) from zolbetuximab in patients with high expression, while there was significant benefit in patients with lower expression. In terms of AEs, zolbetuximab plus chemotherapy was associated with higher risk of grade 3 and higher AEs, but increased risk of nausea and vomiting were more common. Conclusion This systematic review and meta-analysis revealed that the effect of zolbetuximab plus chemotherapy was superior to that of chemotherapy alone for first-line treatment of advanced CLDN 18.2-positive G/GEJ adenocarcinoma. Thus, zolbetuximab plus chemotherapy represents a new first-line treatment for these patients. Zolbetuximab plus chemotherapy was associated with higher risk of grade 3 and higher AEs, but was generally manageable.

A Phase 3 Randomized Clinical Trial to Compare Efficacy and Safety between Combination Therapy and Monotherapy in Elderly Patients with Advanced Gastric Cancer (KCSG ST13-10). Cancer Res Treat 2023; 55:1250-1260. [PMID: 37232070 PMCID: PMC10645518 DOI: 10.4143/crt.2023.333] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE This study evaluated whether combination therapy is more effective than monotherapy in elderly patients with metastatic or recurrent gastric cancer (MRGC) as first-line chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Elderly (≥ 70 years) chemo-naïve patients with MRGC were allocated to receive either combination therapy (group A: 5-fluorouracil [5-FU]/oxaliplatin, capecitabine/oxaliplatin, capecitabine/cisplatin, or S-1/cisplatin) or monotherapy (group B: 5-FU, capecitabine, or S-1). In group A, starting doses were 80% of standard doses, and they could be escalated to 100% at the discretion of the investigator. Primary endpoint was to confirm superior overall survival (OS) of combination therapy vs. monotherapy. RESULTS After 111 of the planned 238 patients were randomized, enrollment was terminated due to poor accrual. In the full-analysis population (group A [n=53] and group B [n=51]), median OS of combination therapy vs. monotherapy was 11.5 vs. 7.5 months (hazard ratio [HR], 0.86; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.56 to 1.30; p=0.231). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 5.6 vs. 3.7 months (HR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.34 to 0.83; p=0.005). In subgroup analyses, patients aged 70-74 years tended to have superior OS with combination therapy (15.9 vs. 7.2 months, p=0.056). Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred more frequently in group A vs. group B. However, among severe TRAEs (≥ grade 3), there were no TRAEs with a frequency difference of > 5%. CONCLUSION Combination therapy was associated with numerically improved OS, although statistically insignificant, and a significant PFS benefit compared with monotherapy. Although combination therapy showed more frequent TRAEs, there was no difference in the frequency of severe TRAEs.

Abstract
Cisplatin is the first-line chemotherapy for gastric cancer (GC). However, its efficacy is dampened by the development of chemoresistance, which leads to poor prognosis in GC patients. Recently, evidence has revealed that circular RNAs (circRNAs) and dysregulation of autophagy-dependent ferroptosis play critical roles in cancer chemoresistance. Herein, for the first time we report that circHIPK3 has a vital role in GC cisplatin resistance. CircHIPK3 regulated cisplatin resistance by targeting autophagy and ferroptosis. In brief, knockdown circHIPK3 decreased GC cell cisplatin resistance by enhancing ferroptosis via the miR-508-3p/Bcl-2/beclin1/SLC7A11 axis. Taken together, our results demonstrate that ferroptosis is a promising strategy to ameliorate cisplatin resistance. Importantly, serum exosomal circHIPK3 could also be a noninvasive indicator to evaluate cisplatin resistance in GC.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of capecitabine versus 5-fluorouracil in advanced gastric cancer patients. Methods We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and other databases from database establishment to June 2022, containing randomized controlled trials (RCT) on capecitabine and 5-fluorouracil in advanced gastric cancer patients. A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effect of capecitabine versus 5-fluorouracil on overall response rate, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, stomatitis, hand-foot syndrome, nausea and vomiting, alopecia, and diarrhea. Results Eight RCTs with a total of 1998 patients with advanced gastric cancer were finally included, including 982 with capecitabine and 1016 with 5-fluorouracil. Compared with 5-fluorouracil, capecitabine use was significantly associated with an improved overall response rate in patients (RR 1.13, 95% CI 1.02-1.25, P=0.02). Compared with 5-fluorouracil, treatment with capecitabine was significantly associated with decreased neutropenia events (RR 0.78, 95% CI 0.62-0.99, I2 = 86%, P=0.04), and a decreased risk of stomatitis (RR 0.73, 95% CI 0.64-0.84, I2 = 40%, P < 0.0001) in patients with advanced gastric cancer. In terms of hand-foot syndrome, capecitabine was associated with increased hand-foot syndrome events than 5-fluorouracil (RR 2.00, 95% CI 1.21-3.31, P=0.007). In terms of thrombocytopenia, nausea and vomiting, alopecia, and diarrhea, the effect of capecitabine and 5-fluorouracil were similar (P > 0.05). Conclusions Compared with 5-fluorouracil, capecitabine treatment improves the overall response rate and reduces the risk of neutropenia and stomatitis in advanced gastric cancer patients. It should be noted that capecitabine treatment may also increase the occurrence of hand-foot syndrome. Capecitabine is similar to 5-fluorouracil in causing thrombocytopenia, nausea and vomiting, alopecia, and diarrhea.

Abstract
PURPOSE Platinum-fluoropyrimidine combinations are standard of care for treatment of metastatic esophagogastric adenocarcinoma. The optimal duration of first-line chemotherapy is unknown, however, and maintenance strategies have not yet been established. DESIGN MATEO is an international randomized phase II trial exploring efficacy and safety of S-1 maintenance therapy in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced esophagogastric adenocarcinoma. After 3 months of first-line platinum-fluoropyrimidine-based induction therapy, patients without progression were randomized in a 2 : 1 allocation to receive S-1 monotherapy (arm A) or to continue combination chemotherapy (arm B). The primary objective was to show non-inferiority of overall survival in the S-1 maintenance group. Progression-free survival, adverse events, and quality of life were secondary endpoints. RESULTS From 2014 to 2019, 110 and 55 patients were randomized in arm A and arm B, respectively (recruitment closed prematurely). Median overall survival from randomization was 13.4 months for arm A and 11.4 months for arm B [hazard ratio 0.97 (80% confidence interval 0.76-1.23), P = 0.86]. Median progression-free survival from randomization was 4.3 and 6.1 months for arm A versus arm B, respectively [hazard ratio 1.10 (80% confidence interval 0.86-1.39), P = 0.62]. Patients in arm A had numerically fewer treatment-related adverse events (84.9% versus 93.9%) and significantly less peripheral sensory polyneuropathy ≥grade 2 (9.4% versus 36.7%). CONCLUSIONS S-1 maintenance following platinum-based induction therapy leads to non-inferior survival outcomes compared with the continuation of platinum-based combination. Toxicity patterns favor a fluoropyrimidine maintenance strategy. These data challenge the continued use of platinum combination chemotherapy after response to 3 months induction therapy in patients with advanced human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative esophagogastric adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
The care of patients with oesophageal cancer or of individuals who have an elevated risk of oesophageal cancer has changed dramatically. The epidemiology of squamous cell and adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus has diverged over the past several decades, with a marked increase in incidence only for oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Only in the past decade, however, have molecular features that distinguish these two forms of the disease been identified. This advance has the potential to improve screening for oesophageal cancers through the development of novel minimally invasive diagnostic technologies predicated on cancer-specific genomic or epigenetic alterations. Surgical techniques have also evolved towards less invasive approaches associated with less morbidity, without compromising oncological outcomes. With improvements in multidisciplinary care, advances in radiotherapy and new tools to detect minimal residual disease, certain patients may no longer even require surgical tumour resection. However, perhaps the most anticipated advance in the treatment of patients with oesophageal cancer is the advent of immune-checkpoint inhibitors, which harness and enhance the host immune response against cancer. In this Review, we discuss all these advances in the management of oesophageal cancer, representing only the beginning of a transformation in our quest to improve patient outcomes.

Sintilimab Plus Apatinib and Chemotherapy as Second‑/Third-Line treatment for Advanced Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma: a prospective, Single-Arm, phase II trial. BMC Cancer 2023; 23:211. [PMID: 36872337 PMCID: PMC9985926 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-10661-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2022] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognosis of patients with previously treated advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer remains poor. Given the robust development of immunotherapy and targeted therapy during the last decades, we aimed to investigate if the combination of traditional second-line chemotherapy with sintilimab and apatinib could bring survival benefits for these patients. METHODS In this single-center, single-arm, phase II trial, patients with previously treated advanced gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma received specific dose level of intravenous paclitaxel or irinotecan (investigator's choice), 200 mg intravenous sintilimab on day 1, and 250 mg oral apatinib once daily continuously in each cycle until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. The primary endpoints were objective response rate and progression-free survival. The secondary endpoints were mainly overall survival and safety. RESULTS From May 2019 to May 2021, 30 patients were enrolled. At the data cutoff date (March 19, 2022), the median follow-up duration was 12.3 months and 53.6% (95% CI, 33.9-72.5%) patients achieved objective response. The median progression-free survival and overall survival were 8.5 months (95% CI, 5.4-11.5) and 12.5 months (95% CI, 3.7-21.3), respectively. Grade 3-4 adverse events included hematological toxicities, elevated alanine aminotransferase, elevated aspartate aminotransferase, elevated alkaline phosphatase, elevated gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, hyperbilirubinemia and proteinuria. The most frequent grade 3-4 adverse event was neutropenia (13.3%). No serious treatment-related adverse events or treatment-related deaths occurred. CONCLUSION Sintilimab plus apatinib and chemotherapy demonstrates promising anti-tumor activity with manageable safety profile in patients with previously treated advanced gastric or GEJ cancer. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05025033, 27/08/2021.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Around 50% of gastric cancers are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Several chemotherapy regimens are now internationally validated. Few data are available on the routine daily management of advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancers. We aimed to describe chemotherapy practices, tolerance, and efficacy overall survival (OS) and Progression free survival (PFS) in a prospective French cohort. METHODS Patients starting palliative chemotherapy were prospectively enrolled in 49 French centres. The primary objective was to report and describe patients' characteristics and treatment strategies. Secondary objectives were OS, PFS, objective response rate, adverse events rate, performance status deterioration during the chemotherapy. RESULTS A total of 182 patients were included; 179 were analysed. Most patients received platinium-based chemotherapy as the first treatment and FOLFIRI as second; 62.0% of patients received a second line, and 32.4% a third line. More than two thirds of Her2-positive patients were first treated with trastuzumab. The FOLFIRI regimen was the most frequently used second-line therapy. Median OS was 13.3 months, similar whatever the chemotherapy or combinations used in the first line. One- and 2-year OS increased with the number of chemotherapy lines received, from respectively 24.7% and 5.7% (1 line), to 46.9% and 12.4% (2 lines) and 88.1% and 29.9% (3 or more lines) (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Our study showed that treatment strategies in France are based on a succession of doublets, making it possible to offer a second and third line of treatment more often. This treatment strategy must be taken into account for future trials with immunotherapy combinations.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers in Korea and the world. Since 2004, this is the 4th gastric cancer guideline published in Korea which is the revised version of previous evidence-based approach in 2018. Current guideline is a collaborative work of the interdisciplinary working group including experts in the field of gastric surgery, gastroenterology, endoscopy, medical oncology, abdominal radiology, pathology, nuclear medicine, radiation oncology and guideline development methodology. Total of 33 key questions were updated or proposed after a collaborative review by the working group and 40 statements were developed according to the systematic review using the MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library and KoreaMed database. The level of evidence and the grading of recommendations were categorized according to the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation proposition. Evidence level, benefit, harm, and clinical applicability was considered as the significant factors for recommendation. The working group reviewed recommendations and discussed for consensus. In the earlier part, general consideration discusses screening, diagnosis and staging of endoscopy, pathology, radiology, and nuclear medicine. Flowchart is depicted with statements which is supported by meta-analysis and references. Since clinical trial and systematic review was not suitable for postoperative oncologic and nutritional follow-up, working group agreed to conduct a nationwide survey investigating the clinical practice of all tertiary or general hospitals in Korea. The purpose of this survey was to provide baseline information on follow up. Herein we present a multidisciplinary-evidence based gastric cancer guideline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accelerated tumor growth during immunotherapy in pre-existing measurable lesions, hyperprogressive disease (HPD), has been reported. However, progression of non-measurable lesions and new lesions are frequently observed in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). METHODS This retrospective study involved AGC patients at 24 Japanese institutions who had measurable lesions and received nivolumab after ≥ 2 lines of chemotherapy. HPD was defined as a ≥ two-fold increase in the tumor growth rate of measurable lesions. The pattern of disease progression was classified according to new lesions in different organs and ascites appeared/increase of ascites. RESULTS Of 245 patients, 147 (60.0%) showed progressive disease (PD) as the best response and 41 (16.7%) showed HPD during nivolumab monotherapy. There was no significant difference in overall survival (OS) between patients with HPD and those with PD other than HPD (median OS 5.0 vs 4.8 months; hazard ratio [HR] 1.0, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.6-1.5; p = 1.0). Fifty-three patients developed new lesions in different organs and 58 had appearance/increase of ascites; these patients showed shorter OS than those without each of these features (median OS 3.3 vs 7.1 months, HR 1.8, 95% CI 1.2-2.7, p = 0.0031 for new lesions, and 3.0 vs 7.8 months, HR 2.6, 95% CI 1.8-3.8, p < 0.0001 for ascites). Thirty-one patients who had both features showed the worst prognosis (median OS 2.6 months). CONCLUSIONS New lesions in different organs and appearance/increase of ascites, rather than the original definition of HPD, are the patterns of disease progression associated with poor prognosis in AGC patients receiving nivolumab whose best response was PD.

Liu BW, Shang QX, Yang YS, Chen LQ. Efficacy and safety of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor combined with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in the treatment of advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1077675. [PMID: 37114136 PMCID: PMC10129365 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1077675] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Background There is increasing evidence that immunotherapy (programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitor) combined with chemotherapy is superior to chemotherapy alone in neoadjuvant therapy for patients with previously untreated, unresectable advanced, or metastatic esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC)/gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEA). However, the results of recent studies have been contradictory. Therefore, the aim of this article is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy in neoadjuvant therapy through meta-analysis. Method We comprehensively reviewed the literature and clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs) by February 2022 by searching Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and keywords such as "esophageal adenocarcinoma" or "immunotherapy" in several databases, including the Embase, Cochrane, PubMed, and ClinicalTrials.gov websites. Two authors independently selected studies, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias and quality of evidence by using standardized Cochrane Methods procedures. The primary outcomes were 1-year overall survival (OS) and 1-year progression-free survival (PFS), estimated by calculating the 95% confidence interval (CI) for the combined odds ratio (OR) and hazard ratio (HR). Secondary outcomes estimated using OR were disease objective response rate (DORR) and incidence of adverse events. Results Four RCTs with a total of 3,013 patients researching the efficacy of immunotherapy plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone on gastrointestinal cancer were included in this meta-analysis. The results showed that immune checkpoint inhibitor plus chemotherapy treatment was associated with an increased risk of PFS (HR = 0.76 [95% CI: 0.70-0.83]; p < 0.001), OS (HR = 0.81 [95% CI: 0.74-0.89]; p < 0.001), and DORR (relative ratio (RR) = 1.31 [95% CI: 1.19-1.44]; p < 0.0001) when compared with chemotherapy alone in advanced, unresectable, and metastatic EAC/GEA. However, immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy increased the incidence of adverse reactions such as alanine aminotransferase elevation (OR = 1.55 [95% CI: 1.17-2.07]; p = 0.003) and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE) syndrome (OR = 1.30 [95% CI: 1.05-1.63]; p = 0.02). Nausea (OR = 1.24 [95% CI: 1.07-1.44]; p = 0.005) and white blood cell count decreased (OR = 1.40 [95% CI: 1.13-1.73]; p = 0.002), and so on. Fortunately, toxicities were within acceptable limits. Meanwhile, for patients with a combined positive score (CPS) ≥1, compared with chemotherapy alone, immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy had a better overall survival rate (HR = 0.81 [95% CI: 0.73-0.90]; p = 0.0001). Conclusion Our study shows that immunotherapy plus chemotherapy has an obvious benefit for patients with previously untreated, unresectable advanced, or metastatic EAC/GEA when compared with chemotherapy alone. However, a high risk of adverse reactions may occur during immunotherapy plus chemotherapy, and more studies focusing on the treatment strategies of untreated, unresectable advanced, or metastatic EAC/GEA are warranted.

Randomized phase II study of capecitabine plus cisplatin with or without sorafenib in patients with metastatic gastric cancer (STARGATE). Cancer Med 2022; 12:7784-7794. [PMID: 36515003 PMCID: PMC10134272 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.5536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2022] [Revised: 11/20/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In this randomized phase II study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of sorafenib in combination with capecitabine and cisplatin (XP) as first-line chemotherapy in advanced gastric cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma were randomized (1:1) to receive either sorafenib plus XP (S + XP) or XP alone. In cases of disease progression in the XP arm, crossover to sorafenib alone was allowed. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), response rates, safety profiles, and biomarkers, and the response rates and PFS with secondline sorafenib alone after progression in the XP arm. RESULTS Between Jan 2011 and Feb 2013, a total of 195 patients were accrued (97 in the S + XP arm and 98 in the XP alone arm). The overall response rate was 54% with S + XP, and 52% with XP alone (p = 0.83). With a median follow-up of 12.6 months (range, 0.1-29.2), the median PFS assessed by independent review was 5.6 months in the S + XP arm and 5.3 months in the XP arm (hazard ratio [HR] 0.92, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.67-1.27, p = 0.61). Overall survival was not different between the two arms (median 11.7 vs. 10.8 months; HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.65-1.31, p = 0.66). Frequencies of grade 3/4 toxicities were similar between the S + XP and XP alone arms, except for neutropenia (21% vs. 37%), anorexia (0% vs. 5%), and hand-foot skin reaction (7% vs. 1%). Among 51 patients who crossed over to sorafenib alone after disease progression in the XP arm, there was no objective response and their median PFS was 1.3 months (95% CI, 1.2-1.7). CONCLUSION The addition of sorafenib to XP chemotherapy was safe but not more effective than XP alone for first-line treatment of metastatic gastric cancer.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is ranked fifth among the most commonly diagnosed cancers, and is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The majority of gastric cancers are sporadic, while only a small percentage, less than 1%, are hereditary. Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) is a rare malignancy, characterized by early-onset, highly-penetrant autosomal dominant inheritance mainly of the germline alterations in the E-cadherin gene (CDH1) and β-catenin (CTNNA1). In the present study, we provide an overview on the molecular basis of HDGC and outline the essential elements of genetic counseling and surveillance. We further provide a practical summary of current guidelines on clinical management and treatment of individuals at risk and patients with early disease.

Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14225673.

Abstract
It has been suggested that the therapeutic efficacy of S-1 + cisplatin (SP) and capecitabine + cisplatin (XP) may differ depending on the histology of the tumor, but no clear evidence exists. Individual participant data were obtained from three randomized phase II trials in which such patients received either SP (S-1 [40-60 mg twice daily for 21 days] plus cisplatin [60 mg/m2 on day 8], every 5 weeks) or XP (capecitabine [1000 mg/m2 twice daily for 14 days] plus cisplatin [80 mg/m2 on day 1], every 3 weeks). A total of 162 patients were included, with 79 patients in the SP arm and 83 patients in the XP arm. Although there was also no difference between arms in ORR according to histological classification, differentiated tumors showed a significantly better OS (but not PFS) for SP versus XP that was associated with a deeper tumor shrinkage. Undifferentiated tumors showed a consistently better OS, and PFS for SP versus XP, likely because cases without tumor shrinkage tended to be fewer for SP. Our data thus showed that SP was superior to XP in this setting, but there were qualitative differences in therapeutic efficacy dependent on tumor histology.

Abstract
Gastric cancer represents one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. Even if the last decade has witnessed an improvement in surgical and systemic treatments, with an increase of overall life expectancy, survival rates still remain unsatisfactory, especially for patients with metastatic disease. Systemic therapies represent the gold standard in the management of stage IV gastric cancer. In this scenario, the availability of effective second and third lines has represented for a long time the only hope to offer an overall survival improvement to these patients. Recently, the advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors has involved also gastric cancer with encouraging efficacy data in the metastatic setting, becoming integral part of the management of selected patients.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the outcome and safety of the paclitaxel, carboplatin, and capecitabine (TCX) regimen in patients with advanced gastric cancer. Methods Advanced gastric cancer patients received the TCX regimen for up to six cycles, which were 3 weeks apart. Paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) was given over a 3-hour infusion, followed by carboplatin in a 1-hour infusion on day 1. Capecitabine (850 mg/m2) was given orally twice daily from day 1 to day 14. Primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results Among 83 patients at stage IVa and IVb, the median PFS was 9.3 months; 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year PFS were 74.6%, 32.5%, and 14.4%, respectively. The median OS was 17.0 months; 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year OS were 97.5%, 68.7%, and 21.7%, respectively. In the multivariable Cox regression model, higher CEA was associated with poor OS. Common adverse events included hand-food syndrome (77.9%), peripheral neuropathy (63.2%), fatigue (68.7%), and nausea (54.2%). Conclusion The TCX regimen provided good survival and a better safety profile. More clinical trials are needed to confirm its treatment efficacy and safety, especially in comparison with other triplet regimens.

Abstract
Gastric carcinoma and gastro-oesophageal junction (GC/GEJ) carcinoma remain a significant global problem, with patients presenting with symptoms often found to have advanced or metastatic disease. Treatment options for these patients have broadened in recent years with new chemotherapy agents, agents targeting angiogenic pathways and the development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Most initial advances have occurred in the refractory setting, where it is important to balance treatment benefits versus toxicity and patient quality of life. In the first-line treatment of advanced/metastatic GC/GEJ, platinum- and fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy protocols remain the backbone of therapy (with or without HER2-targeted therapy), with the FOLFIRI regimen offering an alternative in patients deemed unsuitable for a platinum agent. Microsatellite instability-high or mismatch repair-deficient cancers have been shown to benefit most from ICIs. In unselected patients previously treated with doublet or triplet platinum- and fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy and second-line chemotherapy with irinotecan or taxanes have formed the backbone of therapy with or without the addition of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 inhibitor ramucirumab in addition to paclitaxel. Beyond this, efficacy has been demonstrated with oral trifluridine/tipiracil and with single-agent nivolumab, in selected refractory patients. In this review, we highlight the positive evidence from key trials that have led to our current practice algorithm, with particular focus on the refractory advanced disease setting, discussing the areas of active research and highlighting the factors, including biomarkers and the influence of ethnicity, that contribute to therapeutic decision-making.

Chinese herbal medicine combined with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis of contributions of specific medicinal materials to tumor response. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:977708. [PMID: 36091754 PMCID: PMC9453215 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.977708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 07/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: The incidence and mortality of gastric cancer ranks among the highest, and the 5-year survival rate of advanced gastric cancer (AGC) is less than 10%. Currently, chemotherapy is the main treatment for AGC, and oxaliplatin is an important part of the commonly used chemotherapy regimen for AGC. A large number of RCTs have shown that Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) combined with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy can improve objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR), reduce the toxic and side effects of chemotherapy. There is currently a lack of systematic evaluation of the evidence to account for the efficacy and safety of CHM combined with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in AGC. Therefore, we carried out this study and conducted the sensitivity analysis on the herbal composition to explore the potential anti-tumor efficacy. Methods: Databases of PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL, Web of Science, the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, the Wanfang database, and the Chinese Scientific Journals Database were searched from their inception to April 2022. RCTs evaluating the efficacy of CHM combined with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy on AGC were included. Stata 16 was used for data synthesis, RoB 2 for quality evaluation of included RCTs, and GRADE for quality of synthesized evidence. Additional sensitivity analysis was performed to explore the potential anti-tumor effects of single herbs and combination of herbs. Results: Forty trials involving 3,029 participants were included. Most included RCTs were assessed as “Some concerns” of risk of bias. Meta-analyses showed that compare to oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy alone, that CHM combined with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy could increase the objective response rate (ORR) by 35% [risk ratio (RR) = 1.35, 95% confidence intervals (CI) (1.25, 1.45)], and disease control rate (DCR) by 12% [RR = 1.12, 95% CI (1.08, 1.16)]. Subgroup analysis showed that compare to SOX, FOLFOX, and XELOX regimens alone, CHM plus SOX, CHM plus FOLFOX, and CHM plus XELOX could significantly increase the ORR and DCR. Sensitivity analysis identified seven herbs of Astragalus, Liquorice, Poria, Largehead Atractylodes, Chinese Angelica, Codonopsis, and Tangerine Peel with potentials to improve tumor response of oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in AGC. Conclusion: Synthesized evidence showed moderate certainty that CHM plus oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy may promote improvement in tumor response in AGC. CHM treatment is safe for AGC. Due to the poor quality of included RCTs and small samplesizes, the quality of synthesized evidence was not high. Specific combinations of herbs appeared to produce higher contributions to ORR than the herb individually. Each of this seven above mentioned herbs has been shown in experimental studies to potentially contribute to the improvement of tumor response. To support this conclusion, these seven herbs are worthy of further clinical research.

miR-4735-3p inhibits cell migration and invasion of gastric cancer by downregulating NEDD9. Oncol Lett 2022; 24:253.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) comprises the 3rd cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Increased expression of neural precursor cell expressed, developmentally downregulated 9 (NEDD9) is commonly observed in GC, however, its underlying molecular mechanism in GC remains unknown. The potential interaction between miR-4735-3p and NEDD9 was predicted by TargetScan 7.1. Expression profiles of miR-4735-3p and NEDD9 were examined between GC tissues and normal tissues by reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-q) PCR. The relationship between miR-4735-3p and NEDD9 was validated by RT-qPCR, western blotting, dual luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay. Biological relationship between miR-4735-3p and NEDD9 was evidenced by the cell invasion and cell migration assays. NEDD9 level was negatively associated with miR-4735-3p level in GC tissues. miR-4735-3p suppressed NEDD9 levels in GC cells. NEDD9 was revealed to be a target gene of miR-4735-3p. miR-4735-3p overexpression suppressed cell migration and invasion of GC cells, which were antagonized by overexpression of NEDD9. Moreover, miR-4735-3p mimic decreased the levels of matrix metalloproteinases 2/9, increased the level of E-cadherin, which were reversed by overexpression of NEDD9. Collectively, the present study provided a potential mechanism for the tumor suppressor role of miR-4735-3p in GC by targeting NEDD9.

[PMID: 35860585 PMCID: PMC9289113 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.885350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2022] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The present study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib as third-line or above therapy for patients with advanced or metastatic gastric cancer. Methods Patients with advanced or metastatic gastric cancer who have failed from second-line treatment and treated with anlotinib monotherapy or combined with chemotherapy or immunotherapy from June 2019 to January 2021 in 3 institutions across China were retrospectively analyzed. The primary end point was progression free survival (PFS). Secondary end points included overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and safety. Results 43 patients with advanced or metastatic gastric cancer who have failed prior treatment received anlotinib monotherapy or combination therapy as third-line or above therapy. In the general population, 4 patients achieved PR, 21 patients had SD and 18 patients had PD. The overall ORR and DCR were 9.3% (4/43) and 58.1% (25/43), respectively. Median PFS and OS were 3.0 months (95% CI=2.5-3.5) and 6.0 months (95% CI=4.4-7.6), respectively. The incidence of Grade 3-4 adverse events(AEs) was 34.9%. Subgroup analysis suggested that the ORR of anlotinib combination therapy was superior than anlotinib monotherapy, but with similar PFS and OS. The clinical benefit of anlotinib was not associated with previously anti-angiogenesis therapy with apatinib. Conclusions Anlotinib monotherapy or combination therapy provide a feasible third-line or above therapeutic strategy in patients with advanced or metastatic gastric cancer a median PFS of 3.0 months and median OS of 6.0 months was obtained with well tolerated toxicity.

Abstract
Background To compare the prognosis of first-line systemic chemotherapy of AS (Albumin-bound paclitaxel and S-1) versus SOX (S-1 and oxaliplatin) regimen in Chinese gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis. Methods This was a real-world study of gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis who have been treated with AS or SOX regimen as first-line chemotherapy. Patients were matched by the method of propensity score matching (PSM). The primary and secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and progress-free survival (PFS). Results A total of 108 gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis were enrolled after PSM analysis. There was no significant difference between AS and SOX regimen based on gender, age, ascites, treatment cycles, gastric cancer resection, received checkpoint inhibitors, and HER-2 expression after PSM analysis. The median OS (14.13 vs. 11.17 months, p = 0.0356) and median PFS (10.30 vs. 6.70 months, p = 0.0003) of patients who received AS regimen were longer than those treated by SOX regimen as first-line systemic chemotherapy. In sub-group analysis, the median OS and median PFS were longer for patients in AS regimen than SOX regimen in Lauren diffuse type. The occurrence of toxicity between the two groups was shown no significant difference. Conclusions The results verified that AS regimen was more effective than SOX chemotherapy in gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis, especially in Lauren diffuse type.

Abstract
Esophageal cancer is an aggressive tumor, and is the sixth-leading cause of death from cancer. Incidence is rising in Spain, particularly among men. Two main pathological different subtypes have been described: squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Growing evidence of their epidemiology and molecular differences explains their different response to novel treatments, and they are therefore likely to be treated as two separate entities in the near future. The best results are obtained with a multidisciplinary therapeutic strategy, and the introduction of immunotherapy is a promising new approach that will improve prognosis. In these guidelines, we review the evidence for the different methods of diagnosis and therapeutic strategies that form the basis of our standard of care.

Abstract
Purpose Immunotherapy provides a new treatment option for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). This study aims to explore the response markers of immunotherapy in AGCs. Methods Next-generation sequencing was performed on 44 AGC patients who received immune checkpoint inhibitors and the associations between their outcomes after combination immunotherapy, and the clinicopathological/molecular characteristics were analyzed. Results The current study cohort had a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 5.9 months, an overall survival (OS) of 12.1 months, and an objective response rate (ORR) of 36.4%. Through multivariable analysis of the clinical characteristics, primary tumor resection (HR = 2.66, 95% CI: 1.06–6.70, p=0.037) and increased proportion of lymphocytes after combination immunotherapy (HR = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.16–0.99, p=0.048) were revealed as independent predictors for patient outcomes. All the 18 patients who underwent genetic profiling were microsatellite-stable with a median TMB of four mutations per Mb. ATM alterations, PI3K pathway mutations, increased TMB, and positive PD-L1 expression were associated with the increased trend of PFS and ORR. According to the combination of baseline lymphocyte count, ATM mutation, TMB status, and PD-L1 expression, patients were stratified into higher- and lower-risk groups, with the lower-risk group showing improved PFS (HR = 4.7e−10, 95% CI: 0–inf, p=0.02) and ORR (75% vs. 0%, p=0.007). Conclusion Several highly relevant potential biomarkers predictive of immunotherapy response in AGC patients have been identified in this research.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death globally. Although the mortality rate in some parts of the world, such as East Asia, is still high, new treatments and lifestyle changes have effectively reduced deaths from this type of cancer. One of the main challenges of this type of cancer is its late diagnosis and poor prognosis. GC patients are usually diagnosed in the advanced stages of the disease, which is often associated with peritoneal metastasis (PM) and significantly reduces survival. This type of metastasis in patients with GC poses a serious challenge due to limitations in common therapies such as surgery and tumor resection, as well as failure to respond to systemic chemotherapy. To solve this problem, researchers have used virotherapy such as reovirus-based anticancer therapy in patients with GC along with PM who are resistant to current chemotherapies because this therapeutic approach is able to overcome immune suppression by activating dendritic cells (DCs) and eventually lead to the intrinsic activity of antitumor effector T cells. This review summarizes the immunopathogenesis of peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer (PMGC) and the details for using virotherapy as an effective anticancer treatment approach, as well as its challenges and opportunities.

XELOX doublet regimen versus EOX triplet regimen as first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer: An open-labeled, multicenter, randomized, prospective phase III trial (EXELOX). Cancer Commun (Lond) 2022; 42:314-326. [PMID: 35212487 PMCID: PMC9017757 DOI: 10.1002/cac2.12278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2021] [Revised: 11/10/2021] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Background There is no consensus on whether triplet regimen is better than doublet regimen in the first‐line treatment of advanced gastric cancer (AGC). We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of oxaliplatin plus capecitabine (XELOX) and epirubicin, oxaliplatin, plus capecitabine (EOX) regimens in treating AGC. Methods This phase III trial enrolled previously untreated patients with AGC who were randomly assigned to receive the XELOX or EOX regimen. The primary endpoint was non‐inferiority in progression‐free survival (PFS) for XELOX as compared with EOX on an intention‐to‐treat basis. Results Between April 10, 2015 and August 20, 2020, 448 AGC patients were randomized to receive XELOX (n = 222) or EOX (n = 226). The median PFS (mPFS) was 5.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI] = 4.5‐6.0 months) in the XELOX arm and 5.5 months (95% CI = 5.0‐6.0 months) in the EOX arm (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.989, 95% CI = 0.812‐1.203; Pnon‐inferiority = 0.003). There was no significant difference in median overall survival (mOS) (12.0 vs. 12.0 months, P = 0.384) or objective response rate (37.4% vs. 45.1%, P = 0.291) between the two groups. In patients with poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and liver metastasis, the EOX arm had a significantly longer mOS (P = 0.021) and a trend of longer mPFS (P = 0.073) than the XELOX arm. The rate of grade 3/4 adverse events (AEs) was 42.2% (90/213) in the XELOX arm and 72.5% (156/215) in the EOX arm (P = 0.001). The global health‐related quality of life (QoL) score was significantly higher in the XELOX arm than in the EOX arm during chemotherapy. Conclusions This non‐inferiority trial demonstrated that the doublet regimen was as effective as the triplet regimen and had a better safety profile and QoL as a first‐line treatment for AGC patients. However, the triplet regimen might have a survival advantage in patients with poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and liver metastasis.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Over 95% of gastric cancers are adenocarcinomas, which are typically classified based on anatomic location and histologic type. Gastric cancer generally carries a poor prognosis because it is often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Systemic therapy can provide palliation, improved survival, and enhanced quality of life in patients with locally advanced or metastatic disease. The implementation of biomarker testing, especially analysis of HER2 status, microsatellite instability (MSI) status, and the expression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), has had a significant impact on clinical practice and patient care. Targeted therapies including trastuzumab, nivolumab, and pembrolizumab have produced encouraging results in clinical trials for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic disease. Palliative management, which may include systemic therapy, chemoradiation, and/or best supportive care, is recommended for all patients with unresectable or metastatic cancer. Multidisciplinary team management is essential for all patients with localized gastric cancer. This selection from the NCCN Guidelines for Gastric Cancer focuses on the management of unresectable locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic disease.
