Meta-analyses suggested small but significant benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy in AGC
Mitomycin-C based adjuvant chemotherapy: shown effective in a meta-analysis of 10 studies conducted in Japan in 1960s – 1980s Nakajima, et al. Gan To Kagaku Ryoho 1994

To improve adjuvant chemotherapy with MMC + short-term oral fluoropyrimidine • Add cisplatin • Prolong the administration of low dose oral fluoropyrimidine

To improve adjuvant chemotherapy with MMC + short-term oral fluoropyrimidine • Add cisplatin • Prolong the administration of low dose oral fluoropyrimidine • Early start of chemotherapy • Intraperitoneal chemotherapy • For cases with gross serosa involvement
Objectives of the study (AMC 0101) • To determine if addition of these 4 strategies can improve the outcome of adjuvant chemotherapy with mitomycin-C plus short-term oral fluoropyrimidine (Mf) in patients with grossly serosa positive AGC • Primary endpoint: RFS • Secondary endpoints: OS, safety
Eligibility criteria • Histologically proven gastric adenocarcinoma • Curative gastrectomy with D2 dissection • Gross involvement of serosa • Age 18 – 70 years • No prior chemotherapy • No contraindication for chemotherapy • Informed consent

Sample size calculation • Primary endpoint = 3yRFSR • Estimated 3yRFSR for Mf = 55% • Improvement of 3yRFSR to 67.5% by iceMFP • HR = 0.6574 • Two-sided a=0.05, b=0.2 • Considering 10% of FU loss • Total 527 patients (192 events) are needed
Interim analysis • In Feb 2004 • Increased the dose of doxifluridine • To 600 mg/m2/d because of good safety
Study summary • Accrual period: Oct 2001 - Apr 2007 • Total patients entered: 640 • 119 (60 in Mf, 59 in iceMFP) excluded after surgery because of stage I (90), IV (M1) (13), positive RM (10), others (6) • Total patients analyzed: 521 • Final analysis: Mar 2008 • Follow-up, median: 3.5 years • Total events: 229 (planned 192) • For HR = 0.6574 (3yRFSR 55% vs 67.5%) • Power = 0.8785

Conclusion • Postoperative iceMFP chemotherapy was safe and could significantly improve the RFS and OS in patients with grossly serosa-positive AGC, compared with Mf chemotherapy. • Considering no benefit of adding cisplatin and prolongation of oral doxifluridine to Mf chemotherapy in curatively resected AGC patients (AMC 0201), early start of chemotherapy and/or intraperitoneal cisplatin seemed to be responsible for the improved efficacy of iceMFP chemotherapy in this study.
