Phase II Study of Induction Chemotherapy with Docetaxel, Capecitabine, and Cisplatin Plus Bevacizumab for Initially Unresectable Gastric Cancer with Invasion of Adjacent Organs or Paraaortic Lymph Node Metastasis: Jwa Hoon Kim, Sook Ryun Park, Min-Hee Ryu, Baek-Yeol Ryoo, Kyu-pyo Kim, Beom Su Kim, Moon-Won Yoo, Jeong Hwan Yook, Byung Sik Kim, Jihun Kim, Sun-Ju Byeon, Yoon-Koo Kang; Cancer Res Treat. 2018;50(2):518-529.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of induction chemotherapy with docetaxel, capecitabine, and cisplatin (DXP) plus bevacizumab (BEV) on initially unresectable locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC) or paraaortic lymph node (PAN) metastatic gastric cancer (GC).
Materials and Methods
Patients with LAGC or unresectable PAN metastatic GC received six induction chemotherapy cycles (60 mg/m² docetaxel intravenously on day 1, 937.5 mg/m² capecitabine orally twice daily on days 1-14, 60 mg/m² cisplatin intravenously on day 1, and 7.5 mg/kg BEV intravenously on day 1 every 3 weeks), followed by conversion surgery. The primary endpoint was R0 resection rate.
Results
Thirty-one patients with invasion to adjacent organs but without PAN metastasis (n=14, LAGC group) or with PAN metastasis regardless of invasion (n=17, PAN group) were enrolled between July 2010 and December 2014. Twenty-seven patients (87.1%) completed six chemotherapy cycles. The most common grade ≥ 3 toxicities were neutropenia (71%), neutropenia with fever/infection (22.6%/3.2%), and stomatitis (16.1%). The clinical response and R0 resection rates were 64.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 46.6 to 82.0) and 64.5% (LAGC group, 71.4%; PAN group, 58.8%), respectively. The pathological complete regression rate was 12.9%. After a median follow-up of 44.5 months (range, 39.4 to 49.7 months), the median progression-free survival and overall survival were 13.1 months (95% CI, 8.9 to 17.3) and 38.6 months (95% CI, 22.0 to 55.1), respectively.
Conclusion
Induction chemotherapy with DXP+BEV displayed antitumor activities with encouraging R0 resection rate and manageable toxicity profiles on patients with LAGC or PAN metastatic GC.
