Study summary

To assess the optimal sequence of the palliative chemotherapy regimen (DP --> FOLFIRI vs FOLFIRI --> DP) in metastatic gastric cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

Gastric cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide and is the most common malignancy in Korea. Metastatic gastric cancer remains a therapeutic challenge for medical oncologists due to poor prognosis. A recent phase III trial comparing docetaxel-cisplatin-5-FU (DCF) to the reference arm of cisplatin-5-FU (CF) showed a significant superiority of DCF in terms of survival, time-to-progression, and response rate. However, because DCF regimen was associated with high incidence of toxicities, the regimen has not yet been widely accepted as the standard first-line chemotherapy for gastric cancer patients. Thus, the optimum front-line chemotherapy regimen should be extensively investigated in these patients to improve survival.
