  3. Gastroesophageal Cancers • In USA: ~35,000 cases/yr; ~25,000 deaths/yr • Globally: ~1 million cases/yr; ~0.7 million deaths/yr • Decreased incidence: • ESCC and distal gastric adenocarcinomas • Increased incidence: • Adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus • Adenocarcinoma of the GE junction • Surgery is the only potentially curative maneuver • Evidence suggests peri-operative therapy improves survival Jemal a, et al. CA Cancer J Clin, 2008 58:71-96 Parkin DM et al. CA Cancer J Clin, 2005, 55:74-108

  4. Important Factors in Therapy of Gastroesophageal Cancer • Differences in the East vs. West • Etiology • Ethnic • Pharmacogenetics • Molecular/Biology Characteristics • Bio-etiology • Carcinogenesis • Tumor biology • ‘Microenviroment’: angiogenesis vs. stroma

  5. 5-Year Survival > 15 lymph nodes resected Cancer 2000, 88:921-32

  6. Molecular Biology of Gastroesophageal Cancer • Chromosomal gains and losses • Rb mutations • Her-2 expression • EGFR overexpression • Cyclin D1 overexpression • C-Met • p16, p27 mutations • COX-2 overexpression • Adhesion proteins (E-cadherin, - & -catenin mutations)

  7. Goals in Treating Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma • For metastatic/advanced disease: • Increase efficacy, decrease toxicity • For locally advanced disease: • Improve cure & survival rate • Increase resectability • The extent of tumor down-staging after CTX and XRT is the most important prognostic indicator for DFS and OS

  8.

Abstract 4515: INT 0116 Second Tumor Sites CHEMORADS (25) * CONTROL (8) Skin 6 (2 Melanoma) Pancreas 2 Colorectal 4 Basal Cell 2 Prostate 4 Breast 1 Bladder 3 Lung 1 Heme 3 (2 Lymphoma; 1 MDS) Bone Marrow 1 Breast 1 Renal 1 Lung 1 Renal Pelvis 1 Larynx 1 Unknown Primary 1 *21 Patients (no statistically significant differences)

  14. Abstract 4515: INT 0116 Summary • OS and DFS for chemoradiation remain highly significant With >11 years follow up • No significant late effects with 5-FU based Chemo/XRT • Second tumors are considered not treatment related. However, needs to be assessed in ongoing studies • Subset analyses show Diffuse histology(Women+Diffuse type) appears negative predictor for treatment benefit • Questions for improving outcome: • More effective cytotoxic regimen(s) • Histopathologic- and biologic characteristic-based-treatment • Pre-operative chemo- or chemoradiation

  15. Two Large Phase III Randomized Peri-Operative Chemotherapy Studies Cunningham D, et al. N Engl J Med. 2006;355:11-20. • MAGIC: • Operable adenocarcinoma of the stomach, gastroesophageal junction, orlower esophagus,  Stage II (M0) • ECF*  Surgery  ECF (N= 250) vs. Surgery alone (N= 253) • Epirubicin 50 mg/m² IV ,day 1;Cisplatin 60 mg/m² 4-hour infusion, day 1; 5-FU , 200 mg/m²/day CI days 1-21) • (ACTS-GC) • S-1 vs. Surgery Alone after D2 Gastrectomy Sakuramoto S N Eng J Med 2007, 357:1810-20

  16. MAGIC Trial:Pre- and Postoperative Chemotherapy

  17. There is no info about histopathology Type: Diffuse vs. intestinal

  18. ACTS-GC : S-1 vs. Surgery Alone after D2 Gastrectomy • Curative Gastrectomy (D2) Within 6 wks after Surgery • Stratify: Stage (II, IIIA, IIIB), Institution • S-1 (N=529) vs. Surgery alone (N=530). • S-1: • Tegafur –fluoropyrimidine, • Gieracil—DPD inhibitor, • Oteracil– orotate phosphoribosyltranserase (reduce GI toxicity) S-1 is effective as adjuvant for EAST ASIAN Pts. Undergone a D2 dissection Sakuramoto S N Eng J Med 2007, 357:1810-20

  19. Phase III Peri-Op Studies *S-1 efficacy has not been shown clearly in WESTERN gastroesophageal cancer patients in either adjuvant or metastatic setting (e.g. FLAGS study)

  20. C80101: Randomized Phase III Adjuvant Trial FU/LV XRT+CIFU FU/LV x2 R N=824 ECF XRT+CIFU ECF x2 Biologic markers collected: TS, ERCC-1, MSI, EGFR, COX-2 • Just closed recently (last week) at full accrual

  21. Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation • Trimodality Increases overall survival • Pathological complete response (pCR) as the predictor for overall outcome • Meta-analysis: • CALGB 9781: Trimodality vs. surgery alone in Esophageal CA • cisplatin 100 mg/m2, day 1; 5-FU 1,000 mg/m2/d x 4 days weeks 1 and 5; concurrent with radiation therapy (50.4 Gy) • Followed by esophagectomy; More chemotherapy after surgery • planned to enroll 475 pts, only 56 patients (30 in the trimodality arm and 26 in the surgery alone) • mOS 4.48 yrs vs. 1.79 yrs (p=0.002) • pCR: 10/30, PR: (micro 2/30, macro 8/30), SD: 2/30, PR: 2 Ajani JA, et al. JCO 2005:1237 Reed VK, et al. IJROBP 2008, 71:741 Gebski V, et alLancet Oncol 8:226-234, 2007 Tepper J, et al. JCO 2008; 26:1086

  22. Abstract 4513: S0356Neoadjuvant for EAAC • New agent (oxaliplatin) may improve efficacy and decrease toxicity • Pathology complete response is predictive and prognostic factor for the overall outcome. • Study design: • Assess pCR rate (>25%), PFS and OS. • Assess frequency and severity of toxicities • Explore intratumoral parameters thought to be relevant to pCR (ERCC-1, XPA, TS, γGT and γGCS)

  23. Abstract 4513: S0356 • Study design: • Chemo: • OXP 85 mg/m2 IVPB days 1, 15 and 29 • CI 5FU 180 mg/m2/days 8-43. • EBRT d 8-43 (25 fractions) • Esophagectomy 2-4 weeks after CTX/XRT • Second cycle of OXP and CI 5FU 4-6 weeks postop • Follow-up observation at 3 month intervals • Mandated central pathology review pre-op and post-op

  24. Abstract 4513: S0356 • Result (N=98): • pCR: 34% (31 pts. Central review confirmed), 9 patients (10%) had either Tin situN0M0 or T1N0M0: met the 10end point. • The regimen of OXP and CI 5FU with EBRT is safe, less toxic (gr 3/4) • 43% overall: 39% GI, 22% fatigue, 17% pulmonary,16% hematologic,14% mucositis, 3% neurologic • Surgical mortality 2.6%: acceptable • 38 patients (42%) underwent postoperative chemotherapy.(Sequence of radiation vs. chemotherapy is debatable) • (MAGIC Trial: only 54.8 % had post-surgery chemotherapy)

  25. Trimodality with newer agent (oxaliplatin/5-FU/XRT) has increased pCR and relative less toxicity, PFS and OS remain to be determined Too early to make conclusion whether this regimen is superior to cis/5-FU/XRT Molecular parameters which may help to determine how individuals should be treatedare still pending. Needs larger (randomized study) to confirm Abstract 4513: S0356Summary

  26. Abstract 4514: (JCOG 9912). • Assumed: • S-1 no-inferiority to 5-FU (+/- 5%) • CPT-11+CDDP: superior to 5-FU (+10% survival) • First reported in 2006 ASCO (N=704) • Study Design: • 5-FU (800 mg/m2/day, ci, days 1-5, q 4 wks); • CPT-11 & CDDP (CPT-11, 70 mg/m2, div, days 1&15, Cis 80 mg/m2, div, day 1, q 4 weeks); • S-1 (40 mg/m2, po, bid, days 1-28, q 6 weeks)

  28. Abstract 4514: (JCOG 9912) • ASCO 2006: • S-1 showed non-inferiority to 5-FU ci in survival • mild toxicities, • favorable results of RR, TTF, NHS and PFS • CPT-11+CDDP did not show superiority to 5-FU ci in survival • substantial toxicities causing treatment failure • favorable results of RR, TTF, NHS and PFS,

  29. Abstract 4514: (JCOG 9912) Update

  30. Abstract 4514: (JCOG 9912) Summary • S-1 is considered as a standard chemotherapy for East Asian patients with unresectable or recurrent gastric cancer. • S-1 has been confirmed (single agent or in combination with CDDP) in the Eastern patient population. • S-1 benefits have not been shown in Western populations including most recent FLAGS study • CP combination confirmed platinum efficacy Kiozumi W, et al: Lancet Oncol. 2008;9(3):215-21. Ajani JA, et al GI Cancer Sym 2009: Abs 8

  31. Abstract 4512: Rationale and Study Design • Combination chemotherapy with increased response rates (30-60%), Short duration of response, & increased toxicity : DCF, ECF (ECX, EOF, EOX), FP (XP), Cis-Iri • DCF improved RR, PFS, and OS • FDA and European approval in 1st line treatment • High incidence of gr 3/4 hematologic and non-hematologic (~80%) toxicity limits the use of DCF • Modified DCF regimen to reduce toxicity • Bevacizumab is approved with chemotherapy for the treatment of colorectal, lung and breast cancer • Phase II studies with different combination suggested some benefits (Cisplatin/Irinotecan & docetaxel/Irinotecan) Shah MA et al, JCO 2006 Fuchs CS et al, ASCO 2008, Abs 4552

  32. Abstract 4512: • End Points: • Primary: To improve 6-month PFS from 43% to 63%. • Secondary: RR, median PFS, 1-year Survival, and OS, the safety of mDCF + BEV in patients with unresectable or metastatic GE cancer

  33. Abstract 4512: N=44 (measurable=39) Mean follow up 13 months • 6 month PFS: 83 % (68-92%) • RR: 67% (50-81%), SD: 31% (17-48%), PD: 2% • Median PFS 12.8 month (8.9-16.4 months) • Median OS 16.3 mo (11.4 mo – not reached) • Gr 3/4 toxicity: Neutropenia 51%, Febrile Neutropenia 4%,Thrombocytopenia 16%, Anemia 11% (DCF 82%, 29 %, 8%, 28%) • Gr 3/4 DVT 31%, Gastric Perforation 2%, Bleeding 2%

  34. Other Studies Show Advances in Outcomes with Biologics Shah MA et al JCO 2006, 24:5201; El Rayes BF, et al. J Clin Oncol 2008;26 (abstract 15608). Enzinger PC, et al. J Clin Oncol 2008;26 (abstract 4552). Pinto C, et al. J Clin Oncol 2008;26 (abstract 4575). Sun W, et al. J Clin Oncol 2008;26 (abstract 4535).

  35. Summary • Both adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy beneficial in Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma • Newer chemotherapy agents showed advances in systemic chemotherapy (Oxaliplatin, S-1, Docetaxel, …) • Pharmacogenetics and biology of both host and tumor are important for tailoring the patient’s needs • Biological (antiangiogenesis) agents hold promise, but phase III studies are needed.

  36. Conclusion • Peri-operative therapy is ‘standard’ approach • More effective chemotherapy regimen may benefit more at adjuvant or neoadjuvant setting (CALGB 80101) • New cytotoxic agents may increase efficacy and increase pCR in peri-operative setting and less toxicity. • Biological agents show very encouraging benefits in metastatic disease setting • Bevacizumab (Tumor environment) • Trastuzumab in Her-2+ gastric cancer (ToGA, LBA4509) (Tumor Biology)

  37. Conclusion On-going Studies: • MAGIC –B (based on data of combination with bevacizumab and other antiangiogenics) • Role of bevacizumab pre-op setting (ECF + pre-op bevacizumab) • CRITICS (based on data of INT-0116 and MAGIC; and find out the optimal sequence and duration of chemoradiation) • Preoperative chemo and post operative chemoradiation • Phase III trails of Chemo +/- antiangiogenesis • Future: individualized therapy based on natural history + individual (host and tumor) biology in both Peri-op and advanced settings.
