Abstract
Although many drug combination therapies have been proposed, there is no standard therapy for patients with advanced gastric carcinoma. The superiority of combination therapy over monochemotherapy has not been demonstrated convincingly. To explore the role of monochemotherapy, the authors evaluated 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), modulated by 6S-leucovorin (6S-LV) and a cisplatin-containing regimen, which was comprised of epirubicin, etoposide, and cisplatin with the addition of the reversal agent lonidamine (EEP-L). After stratification according to performance status (PS) and resection of the primary tumor, 72 patients with advanced gastric carcinoma were randomized to 2 parallel Phase II trials with 5-FU/6S-LV and EEP-L, respectively. Thirty-six patients in Study A received bolus 6S-LV, 100 mg/m2, followed by bolus 5-FU, 370 mg/m2, on Days 1-5 and 36 others in Study B received epirubicin, 30 mg/m2, on Days 1 and 5; etoposide, 100 mg/m2, on Days 1, 3, and 5; cisplatin, 30 mg/m2, on Days 2 and 4; and lonidamine, 150 mg/day. There were 6 partial responses (18.2%) (95% confidence interval [CI] +/- 13.2) in Study A and 7 partial responses (21.9%) (95% CI +/- 14.3) in Study B. Partial responses were more frequent in patients with resected ...Continue Reading
