Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Despite the improvement in outcome, up to 120 of 281 patients in the chemoradiotherapy arm relapsed in local regional or/and distant sites within 3 years of potentially curative resection. Notably, the patients receiving chemoradiotherapy had a higher rate of distant metastasis compared with the control arm (40/281 vs 32/275), indicating that bolus 5-FU/LV was not suboptimal to control the development of distant metastases. Furthermore, the toxicity in INT 0116 trial was substantial, with grade 3 or higher overall toxicities observed in 73% of the cases. As a result, only 64% of the patients were able to complete protocol therapy. Obviously, it is reasonable to optimize the Intergroup 0116 chemoradiotherapy regimen.
Docetaxel, as a monotherapy, is active in both first- and second-line treatment of advanced stage gastric cancer. In addition, in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that docetaxel is a potent radiosensitizer in human cancer cell lines, making it an attractive agent combined with radiation. A phase I study has identified the phase II recommended dose of docetaxel as 20mg/m2 weekly for six weeks when administered with concurrent chest radiation of 60 Gy.
Furthermore, docetaxel when added to standard cisplatin and infused fluorouracil (DCF regimen) demonstrated an advantage in survival, time to progression, and response rate (RR) over cisplatin and fluorouracil (CF) in a randomized phase Ⅲ trial, but the toxicity profile associated with the DCF regimen was significant. In addition, a favorable RR and median overall survival for DCF over epirubicin, cisplatin, protracted venous infusion fluorouracil (ECF) has been seen in a randomized phase Ⅱ trial.
Two large phase III trials has demonstrated that the addition of perioperative chemotherapy (ECF) or adjuvant chemotherapy (S1) to radical surgery could significantly improve surgical outcomes in localized gastric cancer as compared with surgery alone in terms of progression-free and overall survival. These results suggest that adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy may have excellent effects on both the primary tumor and micrometasatsis.
Based on these important findings, we designed a phase 3 trial to compared our novel docetaxel-based chemoradiotherapy regimen with the Intergroup 0116 adjuvant arm in patients with curatively resected gastric cancer

FU-based chemoradiotherapy
patients will be treated with the INT0116 regimen.
FU-based chemoradiotherapy
The adjuvant treatment consisted of 425mg/m2 of bolus fluorouracil(5-FU) per day, 20 mg/m2 of leucovorin (LV), per day, for 5 days, followed by 45Gy of radiation with current 5-FU ( 400mg/m2 ) and LV (20mg/m2) as an intravenous bolus on each of of the first four days and the last three days of irradiation. One month after the completion of radiotherapy, two 5-day cycles of 5-FU and FV chemotherapy were given one month apart.
docetaxel-based chemoradiotherapy
patients will be treated with modified DCF chemotherapy in combination with docetaxel-based chemoradiotherapy.
docetaxel-based chemoradiotherapy
experimental:Patients with Zubrod performance status (PS) of 0-2 received up to 2 21-day cycles of pre- and post-radiation chemotherapy (docetaxel 37.5 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8, cisplatin 25 mg/m2 on days 1-3, and a continuous infusion of fluorouracil (FU) 750 mg/m2 on days 1-5), respectively. CCRT between pre- and post-radiation chemotherapy was initiated on day 43 and consisted of 3-dimensional conformal intensity-modulated radiation therapy (45 Gy) plus concurrent docetaxel 20 mg/m2 weekly for 6 weeks;
