Background • 1995: no standard adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment in resectable adenocarcinoma of the stomach and the lower esophagus (ASLE) • 5FU in continuous infusion plus cisplatin (FP) = one of the most effective regimens in advanced ASLE • Potential benefits of preoperative (preop) chemotherapy (CT) in resectable ASLE: • increases likelihood of curative surgery by tumor downstaging • eliminates micrometastases • assesses tumor chemosensitivity
Objectives • To determine whether preop FP improves the outcome of resectable ASLE • Primary endpoint: overall survival (OS) • Secondary endpoints: • disease-free survival (DFS) • R0 resection rate • safety
Eligibility Criteria • Histologically-proven adenocarcinoma of the lower third of the esophagus or esogastric junction or stomach • Suitable for curative resection • Age: 18-75 years • WHO performance status (PS): 0 or 1 • Stage II or greater • Non-metastatic disease • Adequate renal and hematological functions • Informed consent
Staging • Endoscopy • Barium meal study • Abdominal and thoracic CT scans • Endoscopic ultrasonography : optional
Study Design Randomization S CT + S FP (*) x 2/3 every 28 days Within 4 weeks 4 - 6 weeks Resection Resection 4 – 6 weeks FP x 3/4 or no treatment Follow-up (*) FP = 5FU: 800 mg/m² CI x 5 days - CDDP: 100 mg/m² at d1 or d2, 1-hr infusion
Postoperative CT: protocol guidelines • Curative surgery • Tumor response* or stabilization after preop CT • pT3 and/or pN+ tumor • No grade 3-4 toxicity under preop CT * based on symptoms (dysphagia, weight loss), endoscopy, CT-scan and +/- endoscopic ultrasonography
Statistical methods • Central randomization stratified on center, PS and tumor site • Sample size: 250patients (178 deaths) to detect an increase from 20% to 35% in 5-yr OS (two-sided logrank test, = 5 %, = 20%) • DFS calculated with a 6 months landmark time to take into account the difference in timing of surgery between the 2 groups • Intent-to-treat analysis • Kaplan-Meier survival curves and two-sided logank-rank test
Recruitment • Open to accrual: November 1995 • Closed to accrual: December 2003 • 224 patients randomized • Eligibility criteria extended in March 1998 to include adenocarcinoma of the stomach

Multivariate & subset analyses • Cox model including: age, gender, PS, tumor site, allocated treatment • Prognostic factors (multivariate analysis): • preop CT (p<0.013) • tumor site (stomach, p <0.01) • No variation of treatment effect according to tumor site (test of interaction, p = 0.26)
Summary of results In resectable gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma,preoperative CT with 5FU/cisplatin: significantly increases curative resection rate significantly improves disease-free survival significantly improves overall survival
Conclusion Our results confirm those of the MAGIC trial* in a slightly different patient population with a non anthracyclin-based CT * Cunningham D et al. N Engl J Med 2006;355:11-20
