Primary endpoint: OS Secondary endpoints: PFS, TTP, ORR, clinical benefit rate, duration of response, safety, quality of life, pain intensity, analgesic consumption ToGA Trial Design Capecitabineor 5-FU + cisplatin (XP/FP) (n = 290) HER2-positivelocally advanced or recurrent and/or metastatic GC (n = 584)* 3807 patients screened; 810 HER2-positive R Capecitabineor 5-FU + cisplatin (XP/FP) + trastuzumab (n = 294) *594 patients recruited (10 patients did not receive study drug and were excluded from analyses)5-FU = 5-fluorouracil; GC = gastric cancer; HER2 = human epidermal growth factor receptor 2; ORR = overall response rate; OS = overall survival; R = randomised; TTP = time to progression; XP/FP = capecitabine/5-FU + cisplatin Van Cutsem E et al.

  7. Patient History and Presentation of Disease Personal history: 64-year-old male accountant from Virginia Healthy, good performance status Disease presentation: December 2009 Developed dysphagia Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed mass at the gastroesophageal junction Biopsies confirmed adenocarcinoma CT scan showed multiple intrahepatic metastases Patient consulted Mayo Clinic in January 2010; plans to moveto Minnesota to be closer to his children in the Twin Cities

  9. Treatment Identified goals of therapy: extend life and maintain quality of life as long as possible Started EOX as palliative therapy Initiated HER2 testing of outside (liver) biopsy Tumor found to be HER2 IHC 3+ according to Hofmann criteria1 From Cycle 2 on, trastuzumab utilized instead of epirubicin (“HOX” regimen) Excellent tolerability of therapy CT scans every 3 cycles (9 weeks), no treatment delays EOX = epirubicin, oxaliplatin and capecitabine1.

  12. Clinical Course Most recent appointment on June 28, 2010 Patient doing very well No dysphagia Feels energetic Only relevant side effect at this point is grade 2 sensory neurotoxicity from oxaliplatin (780 mg/m2 cumulative dose) Plan to continue trastuzumab + capecitabine, but omit oxaliplatin from therapy Continue assessment every 9 weeks

  13. Gastric Cancer vs Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer • Incidence of gastric cancer declining; incidence of gastroesophageal junction cancer increasing • HER2 overexpression: • 1820% in adenocarcinoma of stomach • ~30% in gastroesophageal junction cancer • Given increasing incidence of gastroesophageal junction cancer and higher percentage of patients with HER2 overexpression, trastuzumab becomes even more important

  14. Conclusions • Trastuzumab is the first targeted therapy to show survival benefit in gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancers • Survival benefit greatest in patients with high levels of HER2 expression (median OS: 16 months) • All patients with gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancers should be tested for HER2 • Trastuzumab plus chemotherapy is well tolerated • Trastuzumab plus chemotherapy is setting a new standard of care in patients with HER2-positive metastatic gastric cancer
