Abstract 2117
Background
S-1 is a commonly used agent in first line therapy of advanced gastric cancer in Japan. The recommended initial dose of S-1 is 120 mg/day for patients (pts) with a body surface area (BSA) of ≥ 1.5 m2 in Japan. Systemic exposure to 5-FU is significantly lower in Japanese cancer pts with a large BSA of ≥ 1.75 m2 who received the recommended fixed dose of S-1, as compared with those with a BSA of ≥ 1.50 m2 and <1.75 m2 (Ann Oncol 20: 946-949, 2009). However, there has been little knowledge of the relationship between survival and fixed dosing of S-1 in pts with large BSA.
Methods
Actual data from four randomized Japanese Phase III trials [START (S-1 vs S-1/docetaxel), SPIRITS (S-1 vs S-1/cisplatin), GC0301/TOP-002 (S-1 vs S-1/irinotecan), G-SOX (S-1+cisplatin vs S-1/oxaliplatin)] were combined to evaluate the effect of BSA on survival (OS) in terms of S-1 monotherapy and S-1 combination therapy. The pts were divided into two categories: those with BSA of ≥ 1.50 m2 and <1.75 m2 and those with a BSA of ≥ 1.75m2. The prognostic relevance of BSA was assessed using a multivariate proportional hazards model adjusted for the established clinical prognostic factors including age, performance status, tumor status, primary tumor, hematogenous metastasis, and peritoneal metastasis.
Results
A total of 1,246 pts were available in this analysis (S-1 monotherapy, n = 395; S-1 combination therapy, n = 851). The median OS for S-1 monotherapy and S-1 combination therapy was 11.7 and 13.6 months, respectively. In pts treated with S-1 monotherapy, OS was significantly shorter in those with a BSA of ≥ 1.75 m2, compared with those with a BSA of ≥ 1.5 m2 and <1.75m2 (HR 1.39; 95% CI 1.05-1.84; p = 0.02). However, OS was comparable in the two BSA categories for pts treated with S-1 combination (HR 1.09; 95% CI 0.90-1.34; p = 0.349). BSA was an independent prognostic factor in S-1 monotherapy (HR 1.33; 95% CI 0.999-1.77; p = 0.05) but not in S-1 combination therapy (HR 1.05; 95% CI 0.85-1.29; p = 0.65).
Conclusions
Although the fixed dosing of S-1 monotherapy affects the survival in pts with large BSA, combination therapy might overcome the worse prognosis even in those with large BSA.
