Abstract
In Japan, systemic chemotherapy is the standard treatment for unresectable, advanced, or recurrent gastric cancer. However, numerous patients with gastric cancer do not receive late-line treatment because of the rapid progression of gastric cancer. Additionally, late-line treatments, such as nivolumab, trifluridine tipiracil (FTD/TPI), or irinotecan, have limited effects on improving clinical symptoms and delaying the onset of symptoms associated with cancer progression. Recently, a combination of FTD/TPI and ramucirumab was reported to have a high response rate in late-line treatment; however, owing to patient selection bias and a high rate of hematologic toxicity in that previous study, this regimen may not be feasible in real-world clinical applications. Our objective is to conduct a single-arm phase II study to assess the safety and efficacy of FTD/TPI plus ramucirumab combination therapy for gastric cancer after third-line treatment under real-world clinical conditions. This study will recruit 32 patients according to eligibility criteria and administer FTD/TPI (35 mg/m 2 ) and intravenous ramucirumab (8 mg/kg). The primary endpoint will be the time to treatment failure. The secondary endpoints will include the overall survival time, progression-free survival time, overall response rate, disease control rate, relative dose intensity, and incidence of adverse events. The results will add new insights for improving the late-line treatment of advanced gastric cancer.
