This study investigates the potential benefits of preoperative chemotherapy with 5FU and cisplatin in patients with resectable adenocarcinoma of the stomach and lower esophagus. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS), while secondary endpoints include disease-free survival (DFS) and R0 resection rates. With a sample size of 250 patients, the analysis aims to determine whether preoperative treatment improves surgical outcomes and reduces recurrence rates. Results indicate that preoperative chemotherapy significantly enhances survival and resection rates.

Background • 1995: no standard adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment in resectable adenocarcinoma of the stomach and the lower esophagus (ASLE) • 5FU in continuous infusion plus cisplatin (FP) = one of the most effective regimens in advanced ASLE • Potential benefits of preoperative (preop) chemotherapy (CT) in resectable ASLE: • increases likelihood of curative surgery by tumor downstaging • eliminates micrometastases • assesses tumor chemosensitivity
Objectives • To determine whether preop FP improves the outcome of resectable ASLE • Primary endpoint: overall survival (OS) • Secondary endpoints: • disease-free survival (DFS) • R0 resection rate • safety
Eligibility Criteria • Histologically-proven adenocarcinoma of the lower third of the esophagus or esogastric junction or stomach • Suitable for curative resection • Age: 18-75 years • WHO performance status (PS): 0 or 1 • Stage II or greater • Non-metastatic disease • Adequate renal and hematological functions • Informed consent
Staging • Endoscopy • Barium meal study • Abdominal and thoracic CT scans • Endoscopic ultrasonography : optional
Study Design Randomization S CT + S FP (*) x 2/3 every 28 days Within 4 weeks 4 - 6 weeks Resection Resection 4 – 6 weeks FP x 3/4 or no treatment Follow-up (*) FP = 5FU: 800 mg/m² CI x 5 days - CDDP: 100 mg/m² at d1 or d2, 1-hr infusion
Postoperative CT: protocol guidelines • Curative surgery • Tumor response* or stabilization after preop CT • pT3 and/or pN+ tumor • No grade 3-4 toxicity under preop CT * based on symptoms (dysphagia, weight loss), endoscopy, CT-scan and +/- endoscopic ultrasonography
Statistical methods • Central randomization stratified on center, PS and tumor site • Sample size: 250patients (178 deaths) to detect an increase from 20% to 35% in 5-yr OS (two-sided logrank test, = 5 %, = 20%) • DFS calculated with a 6 months landmark time to take into account the difference in timing of surgery between the 2 groups • Intent-to-treat analysis • Kaplan-Meier survival curves and two-sided logank-rank test
Recruitment • Open to accrual: November 1995 • Closed to accrual: December 2003 • 224 patients randomized • Eligibility criteria extended in March 1998 to include adenocarcinoma of the stomach
