Popis: LBA4018 Background: The oral fluoropyrimidine capecitabine has proven efficacy and safety in colorectal and breast cancer. Phase II data in AGC suggested that XP would show comparable efficacy to a standard FP regimen, with potential safety and convenience advantages. This phase III study evaluated XP vs. FP in first-line AGC. Methods: Pts with previously untreated measurable AGC received either oral capecitabine (1000mg/m2 bid d1–14) + cisplatin (80mg/m2 i.v. d1) q3w (XP arm) or 5-FU (800mg/m2/d continuous infusion, d1–5) + cisplatin (80mg/m2 i.v. d1) q3w (FP arm). XP requires 1 day per 3 weeks in hospital; FP requires 5 days. Pts were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoint: non-inferiority (NI) in progression-free survival (PFS), defined as upper limit of 95% CI of hazard ratio (HR) No significant financial relationships to disclose. [Table: see text]
