Presentation Transcript

  1. Phase II study of Erbitux, CisPlatin, Epirubicin, Leucovorin with UFT (E-PELUF) as neoadjuvant treatment in patients with gastric cancer Dr Efraim Idelevich MD, PhD Gastro-intestinal Oncology Unit Institute of Oncology Kaplan Medical Center

  2. Neoadjuvant CT of Gastric & EG Junction Cancer • Positive Trials: MAGIC French FNLCC/FFCD trial MRC/OEO2 (British study) • Negative Trials: INT 0113 (US study) Dutch trial ERTC trial

  3. Phase II study of cisPlatin, Epirubicin, LV and UFT (PELUF) as first-line chemotherapy in metastatic gastric cancer Idelevich E, et al. Acta Oncol 2007; 46(3): 324-329

  4. PELUF regimen for Metastatic Gastric Cancer (MGC) Cisplatin 60 mg/m2 and epirubicin 50 mg/m2 iv UFT 300 mg/m2/d with LV 30 mg/d in two divided doses(day 1 afternoon to day 22 morning) 1-week rest period Day 1 8 15 21 28 All patients received ondansetron and dexamethasonefor prevention of emesis before administration ofcisplatin and epirubicin Cycles repeated every 4 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient refusal of further treatment Idelevich E, et al. Acta Oncol 2007; 46(3):324-329

  10. Mutation detection of K-ras in MGC • Of the 52 cancers, K-ras mutations were found in 5 (9.6%).1 • The presence of K-ras mutation were found in 13.3% (32pts).2 • K-ras mutation were found in 11% of examined specimens.3 • Liu ZM et al.

  11. E-PELUFregimen (Phase II study). Neoadjuvant CT with CisPlatin, Epirubicin, oral UFT & Leucovorin and Erbitux for resectable gastric and EGJ Cancer Cisplatin 60 mg/m2 and Epirubicin 50 mg/m2 iv, Erbitux 500 mg/m2 UFT 300 mg/m2/d with LV 30 mg/d in two divided doses(day 1 afternoon to day 22 morning) 1-week rest period Day 1 8 15 21 28 Day 1 ErbituxDay15 Erbitux Three cycles repeated every 4 weeks, followed by gastrectomy. • Primary study objective: R0 resection rate, following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (PELUF-E) regimen in combination with Erbitux. • Secondary study objectives: Safety profile, Overall Survival, Disease Free Interval, Overall Response Rate, Comparison results of this treatment with historical control group of pts, which did not receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

  12. E-PELUF : Patient characteristics Clinical staging assessments included endoscopy&biopsy, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), computed tomography scan of chest&abdomen, and 18F-flurodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) Clinical stat C

  13. Objective response Tumor response was assessed after the 3d treatment cycle.Assessments included endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasonography, computed tomography scan of chest and abdomen, and 18F-flurodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET).

  14. Tolerability One treatment related death observed due to grade 5 neutropenia

  15. Surgery • Twenty eight patients underwent surgery. • 17 with partial gastrectomy, 8 patients total gastrectomy, three patients with intra-abdominal metastases, recognized at time of surgical exploration, did not undergo resection. • Twenty (80%) had an R0 and 5 (20%) had an R1 resection. • Postoperative complications occurred in 11 patients (46%). These included wound infection and anastomotic leakage. • No patients died during the postoperative period.

  16. Postoperative treatment • All 25 “resected” patients received adjuvant therapy: 20 chemotherapy, 5 chemoradiotherapy. • Five patients (17%) had metastatic disease (MD). • Staging of these 5 (17%) patients were identified as T3N1M0 disease before starting neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Intra-abdominal metastases were diagnosed at time of surgery in 3 patients. In two cases pathological examination identified T3N3(M1) and T3N1M2 diseases. • All these 5 patients received palliative chemotherapy.

  18. Survival & Pattern of Disease Recurrence • After a median follow-up of 24 months 20 patients (69%) were alive. 9 of whom showed no disease recurrence. • No local recurrence (LR) observed in group of patients who underwent R0 resection,1 patient of R1 resection group suffers from LR and systemic metastases,10 patients from metastatic disease. • Median overall survival was not reached yet.

  19. Summary & Conclusions The study is still ongoing. Data presented support the role of oral fluoropyrimidines as logical replacement for 5-FU in the treatment of gastric cancer. The biological agents are at the doorstep. The preliminary results of the study show that addition of erbitux to PELUF combination in patients with K-ras wild type gastric cancer has the promising activity.
