A large number of post op pts did not receive chemo
– Preop: 17 pts (10%) did not receive chemo
– Post op: 85 pts (51%) did not receive chemo
 Includes 38 path N0 pts excluded per protocol (23%)
 Another 28% failed to receive post op chemo
Trial did not reproduce results from post op arm of prior
study
– 61% OS prior post op trial
– 38% OS current post op trial

Current Preop Trial: only Stage II patients benefit

Prior post op trial benefit limited to path N + pts

Dose this trial prove that pre op chemo is superior to
post op chemo in esophageal squamous cancer?

No

Preop Chemo in Esophageal Squamous
Cancer

Primary chemo + radiotherapy: U.S. standard of care for
locally advanced disease
– Curative potential without surgery (RTOG)
– Responding patients (FFCD)
 Absence of a clear survival benefit for addition of
surgery
– Surgery for biopsy positive / non responding patients after
therapy
– Surgery for younger, fitter patients

Early stage disease:
– Surgery alone or Chemoradiotherapy alone
Gastric Cancer:
Adjuvant Therapy Standards of Care

Post op Chemo oral S-1 (Japan)
– 10% improved 5 yr OS
– 1000 pts, D2 resection

Post op Chemo 5-FU / LV + radiotherapy (U.S.)
– 10% improvement in 5 yr OS
– Pts with less than a D1-D2 resection

Pre and post op Chemo ECF (U.K.)
– 13% improvement in 5 yr OS
– without radiotherapy

Rationale: Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy

Peritoneal recurrence in up to 40-50% of
patients after gastric resection

IP chemo increases exposure to chemo
agents by 10-100 + fold

No confirmed phase III trials of IP
therapy
Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for grossly
serosa-positive advanced gastric cancer:
A randomized phase III trial of intraperitoneal
cisplatin and early mitomycin-C plus long-term
doxifluridine plus cisplatin (iceMFP) versus
mitomycin-C plus short-term doxifluridine (Mf)
(AMC 0101) (NCT00296322)

Intraperitoneal Cisplatin, Gastric Cancer

Well designed and conducted phase III trial

Adequately powered

Ineligible patients common
– Randomization was intraoperative prior to final
pathology reading
– Appropriate exclusion of metastatic disease, positive
margins

Arms balanced, therapy tolerable, no increased
operative complications
Intraperitoneal Cisplatin, Gastric Cancer

Achieved primary endpoint of improved
relapse free survival:
– 3 yr RFS 50%  60%

Reduced peritoneal and distant recurrence

Suggests a potential benefit for IP cisplatin,
early start of mitomycin
Intraperitoneal Cisplatin, Gastric Cancer

Four variables confound conclusion that IP
chemo is superior in serosa + gastric cancer
– Trial also included early MMC, extending
doxifluridine, adding IV cisplatin

Companion AMC 0201 trial
– No benefit for extended chemo or addition of
cisplatin

Confirmatory trial in which only variable is IP
chemotherapy

DC vs CF

DC = CF, failed to achieve primary endpoint of
superiority

Contrast to V325 study, three drug DCF superior to CF
– Toxicity of DCF limits its general use

If DCF is used:
– Lower starting doses
– Consider colorectal like scheduling of drugs

Marginal differences in outcome for three drugs:
Doublets better platform for future study
– Adding targeted agents
– Perioperative therapy or added to radiotherapy
