This is an Open Label, Prospective, Multicentre, Non-interventional Study of Apatinib for Chemotherapy-Refractory Advanced Metastatic Gastric Cancer, the investigators opted to give patients for apatinib 850 mg once daily, 28 days for a cycle. To evaluate the safety and efficacy of apatinib for Advanced Metastatic Gastric Cancer in the real world.
In the last decade, front-line chemotherapy has been considered a standard therapeutic regimen for the extension of survival time in patients with metastatic gastric cancer (mGC). New evidence suggests that salvage chemo-therapies, as second-line treatments, may have a survival advantage when compared with best supportive care. After failure of second-line chemotherapy, the results of further treatment are poor, yielding response rates of 0% to 5% with no evidence of prolonged survival. Apatinib is a small-molecule VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor, Had been approved by the CFDA for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer, However, this study defines a variety of inclusion/exclusion criteria, efficacy and safety are not well reflect in the real world for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer. Therefore, an Open Label, Prospective, Multicentre, Non-interventional Study could evaluate the safety and efficacy of apatinib for Advanced Metastatic Gastric Cancer in the real world.

RECRUITINGAdverse Events
Treatment-related toxicities were graded according to Common Terminology Criteria Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0.
Time frame: 1 years
Overall survival
Overall survival (OS) was calculated from the date of initial treatment with apatinib to the date of death due to any cause.
Time frame: 1 years
Progression-free survival
A duration from the date of initial treatment with apatinib to disease progression(as defined by RECIST) or death.
Time frame: 8 months
Objective response rate
Number of participants who achieve complete response or partial response. Either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) will be evaluated by RECIST, confirmed at least 4 weeks following the date of the initial response.
Time frame: 5 months
