Abstract

Abstract The combinations of oral fluoropyrimidines and cisplatin such as capecitabine and cisplatin (XP) or 5-FU and cisplatin (FP) are regarded as a standard therapy against HER-2 positive advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Trastuzumab-XP(HXP) and trastuzumab-FP(HFP) is the most common regimen against AGC in Korea. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of trastuzumab-XP vs trastuzumab-FP. Patients with HER2-positive AGC were assigned to the trastuzumabXP or trastuzumabFP group. We then retrospectively compared the efficacy and safety between both groups. As a first-line chemotherapy, trastuzumab in combination with XP or FP was administered to 2,399 patients: 1,913 with HXP and 486 with HFP. In the HXP group vs HFP group, median progression-free survival (mPFS), and median overall survival (mOS) were 8.02 vs 6.08 months (p <0.0001) and 13.27 vs 9.89 months (p <0.0001). In HFP group, mPFS and mOS were 10.15 vs 5.36 months (p <0.0001) and 15.15 vs 8.90 months (p <0.0001) in comparison HFP-H maintenance to HFP group. In HXP group, mPFS and mOS were 10.64 vs 13.44 vs 5.03 months (p <0.0001) and 20.14 vs 22.18 vs 9.10 months (p <0.0001) in comparison HXP-H maintenance, HXP-HX maintenance, and HXP group. Trastuzumab in combination with XP and HX maintenance is a potential first-line therapeutic option for patients with HER2-positive AGC.
