Abstract 164P
Background
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a key drug in treatment of unresectable advanced gastric cancer (AGC). It is known that intravenous 5-FU and oral fluorouracil have different mechanism as anti-cancer drugs, however, a clinical benefit of intravenous 5-FU after using oral fluorouracil is not clear. Therefore, we planned a prospective study to assess the efficacy and safety of weekly intravenous 5-FU and l-leucovorin(l-LV) in Japanese patients with AGC which was resistant for oral fluorouracil, taxane, and platinum. This encore abstract was previously reported at the ESMO 21st World Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer 2019; the abstract number was P-176.
Methods
This regimen consisted of l-LV 250mg/m2/2h iv and 5-FU 600mg/m2 iv once a week for 6 weeks followed by 2-week rest period, within an 8-week cycle. The primary endpoint was the progression free survival (PFS) rate at 8 weeks.
Results
Among the 29 enrolled patients, PFS rate at 8 weeks was 55.2% (95% CI 35.6% to 71.0%), which was higher than 47.5% which is the expected value of the hypothesis, and the lower limit of 95% CI is significantly higher than the threshold which is 23.1%. Grade 3 to 4 hematological adverse events (AE) were as follows; anemia 20.7%, neutropenia 3.4%, and platelet count decreased 3.4%. Grade 3 to 4 non-hematological AE were observed as follows; anorexia 20.7%, fatigue 13.8%, and diarrhea 3.4%.
Conclusions
The intravenous 5-FU and l-LV regimen is feasible and could be promising as the salvage line treatment in patients with AGC even if that is resistant for oral fluorouracil, taxane and platinum.
