Perioperative Leucovorin, Oxaliplatin, Docetaxel and S-1 (LOTS) For Locally Advanced Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer (LOTS)

November 14, 2023 updated by: YS Shan, MD, PhD, National Cheng-Kung University Hospital

A Phase II Trial of Perioperative Chemotherapy With Leucovorin, Oxaliplatin, Docetaxel and S-1 (LOTS) For Patients With Locally Advanced Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma

The aim of the trial is to investigate the clinical efficacy and toxicity of perioperative chemotherapy with leucovorin, oxaliplatin, docetaxel and S-1 (LOTS) in patients with locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma who receive a curative surgery.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The study is an open-label, single-arm, single-country and multi-center phase II investigator-initiated trial. Patients with locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma who enroll the trial will receive perioperative chemotherapy with LOTS (14 days as a cycle) 4 cycles every 2 weeks, followed by operation and another 4 cycles every 2 weeks post-operatively. The primary outcome is pathological response or curative resection rate. The secondary outcome includes recurrence-free survival, overall survival, disease control rate, protocol completion rate and adverse events.

  5. Subjects have adequate organ functions, including bone marrow reserve with a leukocyte count ≥3,000 /µL and platelet count ≥100,000 /µL, hepatic reserve with a serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤3 times of upper limits and total bilirubin ≤2.0 mg/dL, renal reserve with a creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min and cardiac reserve with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50% by echocardiography at baseline.
  6. Subjects have, or agree to establish a vascular access that permits systemic intravenous chemotherapy and are capable of ingesting capsules per oral.
  7. Subjects with reproductive potentials are willing to accept contraceptive measures during the trial.
  8. Subjects are functionally and cognitively capable to be informed of the trial contents and objectives (including obtaining blood and tumor tissue for the trial investigation), and agree to sign the written consent for enrollment.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subjects have metastatic (M1, including washing cytology positive for peritoneal carcinomatosis), recurrent gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer (defined by an interval time less than five years from the current diagnosis to the prior initial disease), or any other underlying primary malignancies excluding carcinoma in situ or resectable skin cancer.
  2. Subjects have received chemotherapies within 2 years, or a major abdominal surgery or radiotherapy within 4 weeks before the trial enrollment.
  3. Subjects are known to be allergic to any of the studied chemotherapeutics.
  4. Subjects have underlying chronic illnesses, including cardiopulmonary diseases, ischemic heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, poorly-controlled diabetes mellitus, liver cirrhosis and/or peripheral neuropathy of any etiologies.
  5. Subjects have active bacterial, viral, fungal or mycobacterial infections that require systemic therapy, including active infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B or C virus (HBV or HCV)
  6. Subjects are planning to conceive or already in pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  7. Subjects are currently participating in any other clinical trials or studies.
