The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of S-1 plus Leucovorin (1 week on and 1 week off) as first-line treatment for patients with metastatic and recurrent gastric cancer.
Patients enrolled in this study were orally treated with S-1 in doses of 40 mg (body surface area (BSA)\<1.25 m2), 50 mg (1.25≤BSA\<1.50 m2) and 60 mg (BSA≥1.50 m2) b.i.d. on days 1-7 in combination with LV given simultaneously at a fixed dose of 25 mg b.i.d. on days 1-7, followed by a 7 day rest. Treatment courses were repeated every 2 weeks. Treatment was continued until progressive disease (PD), unacceptable toxicity or patient refusal.

Time frame: 1-1.5 years
Overall survival (OS)
Overall survival (OS) was calculated from the date of treatment to death from any cause or the last date of follow-up.
Time frame: 1-2.5 years
Time to treatment failure (TTF)
Time to treatment failure (TTF) was determined from the date of treatment to progression, death, refusal or interruption due to adverse events.
Time frame: 1 year
Disease control rate
Disease control rate equals the rate of patients with CR+PR+SD.
Time frame: 1 year
Adverse Events (AEs)
