Abstract 1589P
Background
Patients with peritoneal metastases of gastric origin are often underrepresented in clinical studies due to unmeasurable radiological disease. In theory, the efficacy of systemic treatment might be hampered by the peritoneal-plasma barrier. Here, we describe the outcomes of systemic treatment strategies in patients with peritoneal metastases in a real-world setting.
Methods
Patients with gastric adenocarcinoma and peritoneal metastases (with or without other metastases) treated with systemic therapy in the Netherlands between 2015 and 2020 were identified from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. Treatment regimens were classified into groups with one, two or three agents. Median overall survival (mOS) was determined, and multivariable Cox regression analyses were used to compare treatment groups, corrected for relevant tumor and patients’ characteristics.
Results
In 909 patients, a total of 36 different treatment regimens were administered as first-line therapy. Local peritoneal therapies (i.e., HIPEC) was not observed. 5-FU or derivate combined with oxaliplatin (62%) was used most frequently, followed by epirubicin/oxaliplatin/capecitabine (9%) and capecitabine monotherapy (5%). mOS after first-line treatment was 8.1 months. Triplets containing docetaxel (mOS: 10.7 months, HR: 0.68, 95% CI 0.52-0.89) and trastuzumab-containing regimens (mOS: 11.4 months, HR: 0.65, 95% CI 0.50-0.85) had superior mOS compared to doublet therapy with 5-FU/capecitabine + oxaliplatin (mOS: 7.6 months) in multivariable analysis. Monotherapy was associated with a significantly lower mOS of 3.9 months (HR: 2.33, 95% CI 1.69-3.20). Best supportive care had a mOS of only 1.7 months.
Conclusions
In this real-world study, heterogeneity in the first-line treatment for patients with peritoneal metastases of gastric cancer was seen. Triplet therapy with docetaxel and trastuzumab-containing regimens were associated with longer survival. For docetaxel, this result is in contrast to previous meta-analyses in patients with metastases at any location. Whether this is caused by better exposure of peritoneal metastases to docetaxel or results from bias by indication should be the subject of further research.
