Summary • ToGA met the primary end point • trastuzumab reduces the risk of death by 26% when combined with a reference chemotherapy (HR 0.74) • prolongs the median survival by nearly 3 months (11.1 to 13.8 months; p=0.0046) in patients with HER2-positive advanced GC • All secondary efficacy parameters (PFS, TTP, ORR, CBR, DoR) were also significantly improved • Addition of trastuzumab to chemotherapy was well tolerated: there was no difference in overall safety profile, including cardiac AEs, between treatment arms
Second-Line Therapy in Gastric Cancer • 1,080 patients in three 1st-line phase III trials • 20% received 2nd line therapy • RR for 2nd-line therapy = 13% • Median OS = 5.6 months • Independent poor prognostic factors: • ECOG PS ≥ 2 • Liver mets • Peritoneal mets • Serum alkaline phosphatase ≥ 100 U/L Chau et al J Clin Oncol 2004
