PreOperative Chemotherapy or Radiochemotherapy in Esophago-gastric Adenocarcinoma TrialPOET Michael Stahl on behalf of the German Oesophageal Cancer Study Group
German Oesophageal Cancer Study Group(GOeCSG) • Kliniken Essen-Mitte • University Clinic of Marburg • University Clinic of Tuebingen • University Clinic of Dresden • Alfried Krupp Krankenhaus Essen • University Clinic of Duesseldorf • University Clinic of Essen • Städt. Klinikum Krefeld • University Clinic of Bonn • Krankenhaus St. Georg, Leipzig • Kaiserswerther Diakonie Düsseldorf • Marienhospital Düsseldorf • Klinikum Nürnberg Nord • Klinikum Kassel • Klinikum Oldenburg • Katholische Kliniken im Kreis Kleve • Knappschaft-Krankenhaus Bottrop • Phillippus-Stift Essen • Asklepios-Kliniken Bad Oldesloh
POET GOeCSG Eligibility Criteria • Adenocarcinoma of the esophago-gastric junction (type I – III according to the Siewert classification) • Locally advanced stage uT3-T4 NX M0 (CT and EUS mandatory, diagnostic laparoscopy to detect peritoneal carcinosis, no PET)
POET GOeCSG Rationale • Preoperative CTX will be a standard of care • Additional radiotherapy may increase rate of R0-resection, rate of pN0, and rate of major histologic response (phase II trial of the group) • This may increase the number of long term survivors
POET GOeCSG Statistics • Additional radiotherapy will increase 3-year survival from 25% to 35% • 177 evaluable patients per arm needed (alpha level 5%, power 80%) • Stratification was done for center, type of AC, uT-stage, weight loss, and gender
POET GOeCSG Endpoints • Primary endpoint • Overall survival • Secondary endpoints • Rate of R0-Resection • Rate of PCR • Postoperative Mortality • Local tumor control
POET GOeCSG Recruitment • Opened to accrual December 2000 • Planned interim analysis October 2005 • Closed due to poor accrual December 2005 • 126 pts. randomized after stratification • 119 pts. eligible and evaluated • Arm A (CTX + S) 59 pts. • Arm B (CTX + CRTX + S) 60 pts.

POET GOeCSG POET - Conclusions • There is a strong trend for improved survival by adding radiotherapy to preoperative chemotherapy • Statistical significance was not reached in our trial due to low number of patients randomized • These results are in line with other published phase II-III trials investigating perioperative chemoradiation in EG-junction cancer
