Background-1 • S-1 is : • an oral fluoropyrimidine widely used for AGC in Japan. • an oral formulation of Tegafur, CDHP, and Oxo at a molar ratio 1:0.4:1. • observed high RR and MST of 44-49 % and 207-250 days in two independent phase II trials1,2 Tegafur Anti-tumor activity CDHP Oxo 5-FU DPD OPRT GI toxicity F-b-Ala inhibit inhibit Neuro Toxicity Myelo toxicity 1: Y Sakata et al.

Background-2 • JCOG92051) • FP arm demonstrated significantly longer PFS than 5FU arm. (P<0.001) • There were no significant differences between the arms with respect to OS In Japan, recommended regimen for AGC was 5-FU alone 1): A. Ohtsu et al. J Clin Oncol 2003; 21:54-59

Background-4 • S-1+CDDP Phase I/II Study1) CDDP 60mg/m2 on Day 8 S-1 S-1 40-60mg BID for 3wks Day 15 Day 29 Day 36 Day 1 Day 8 Day 22 • Dosage of S-1 was based on patient’s body surface area (BSA) BSA < 1.25 : 40 mg BID 1.25 - < 1.50 : 50 mg BID 1.50 - < BSA : 60 mg BID 1: W Koizumi et al.

Study Design • Central Randomization • (dynamic balancing) • Adjustment Factors: • Institute • PS • Unresectable vs Recurrent S-1 alone S-1: 40-60 mg BID for 28 days q6wks AGC No prior Chemo. R S-1 + CDDP S-1: 40-60 mg BID for 21 days q5wks CDDP: 60 mg/m2 iv on day 8
Endpoints • Primary Endpoint • Overall Survival • Estimated OS (S-1/S-1+CDDP) : 8/12 months • N=142 in each arm for 90% power to establish • superiority in OS (Two-sided log-rank a=0.05). • Follow up: 2 years • Secondary Endpoints • Progression Free Survival • Time to Treatment Failure • Overall Response • Safety 142 pts in each arm
Inclusion Criteria • Histologically confirmed gastric adenocarcinoma (unresectable/recurrent gastric cancer) • No prior chemotherapy • PS (ECOG scale) 0-2 • Age 20-74 • Expected survival > 3 months • Adequate organ function (bone marrow, liver, renal function) • Written informed consent
Patient Characteristics -1 • Randomized : 305 pts (S-1/S-1+CDDP : 152/153) • between Mar/2002 and Nov/2004 • FAS : 298 pts (S-1/S-1+CDDP : 150/148)
Overall Survival Estimated probability (%) Log-rank p-value: 0.0366 HR: 0.774 [ 95% CI: 0.608 – 0.985] Median follow-up time (M): 34.6 11.0 13.0 Months
Progression-Free Survival Estimated probability (%) Log-rank p-value: <0.0001 HR:0.567 [ 95% CI: 0.437 – 0.734] 4.0 6.0 Months
Time to Treatment Failure Estimated probability (%) Log-rank p-value: 0.0089 HR:0.699 [ 95% CI: 0.536 – 0.912] 3.9 4.8 Months
Overall Response Fisher’s Exact Test p-value: 0.0018 • Criteria : RECIST (Extramural Review)
Adverse Drug Reactions-1 Criteria : NCI-CTC ver. 2.0
Adverse Drug Reactions-2 Criteria : NCI-CTC ver. 2.0 • No treatment-related death was observed

Conclusions • The OS ofS-1+CDDP is superior to S-1 alone • The median survival time of S-1 was 11.0 M, moreover, that of S-1+CDDP was 13.0 M • S-1+CDDP is well tolerated and no treatment- related death was observed • S-1+CDDP regimen can be regarded as the first-line standard treatment for AGC
Future Perspectives In near future, the clinical characteristics of S-1+CDDP for AGC will become clear • In Red: FP vs S-1+CDDP (FLAGS: on-going) • In Yellow: S-1 vs S-1+CDDP (SPIRITS)
