In order to improve survival of metastatic gastric cancer patients, we plan to to conduct a phase II trial of CapeOx with 800 mg once-daily pazopanib as a first-line chemotherapy in metastatic gastric cancer patients.
Despite improvements in the early diagnosis of gastric cancer, many patients present with inoperable disease and an effective, novel combination treatment is urgently needed for these patients population. A recent meta-analysis demonstrated that chemotherapy improves survival for patients with advanced gastric cancer compared with best supportive care alone \[hazard ratio (HR) 0.39, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.28-0.52\] and that combination chemotherapy is superior to monotherapy (HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.74-0.93) (Wagner et al., 2006). For advanced gastric cancer, 5-FU in combination with cisplatin (FP regimen) is commonly used reference regimen, which are successfully replaced by capecitabine and oxaliplatin in recent phase III trial (Cunningham et al., 2008; Okines et al., 2009). In phase II trial, CAPEOX (capecitabine combined with oxaliplatin) regimen also showed promising activity for the metastatic gastric cancer (Park et al., 2006; Park et al., 2008). In order to improve survival of metastatic gastric cancer patients, various clinical trials incorporated novel molecularly targeted agent in combination with the reference arm.
