Abstract

The aim of the study was to compare efficacy and safety of first-line palliative chemotherapy with (EOX) epirubicin/oxaliplatin/capecitabine and (mDCF) docetaxel/cisplatin/5FU/leucovorin regimens for untreated advanced HER2-negative gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Fifty-six patients were randomly assigned to mDCF (docetaxel 40 mg/m(2) day 1, leucovorin 400 mg/m(2) day 1, 5FU 400 mg/m(2) bolus day 1, 5FU 1000 mg/m(2)/d days 1 and 2, cisplatin 40 mg/m(2) day 3) or EOX (epirubicin 50 mg/m(2) day 1, oxaliplatin 130 mg/m(2) day 1, capecitabine 1250 mg/m(2)/d days 1-21). The primary endpoint was overall survival. The median overall survival was 9.5 months with EOX and 11.9 months with mDCF (p = 0.135), while median progression-free survival was 6.4 and 6.8 months, respectively (p = 0.440). Two-year survival rate was 22.2 % with mDCF compared to 5.2 % with EOX. Patients in the EOX arm had more frequent reductions in chemotherapy doses (34.5 vs. 3.7 %; p = 0.010) and delays in subsequent chemotherapy cycles (82.8 vs. 63.0 %; p = 0.171). There was no statistically significant difference in the rates of grade 3-4 adverse events (EOX 79.3 vs. mDCF 61.5 %; p = 0.234). As compared with the mDCF, the EOX regimen was associated with more frequent nausea (34.5 vs. 15.4 %), thromboembolic events (13.8 vs. 7.7 %), abdominal pain (13.8 vs. 7.7 %) and grades 3-4 neutropenia (72.4 vs. 50.0 %), but lower incidences of anemia (44.8 vs. 61.5 %), mucositis (6.9 vs. 15.4 %) and peripheral neuropathy (6.9 vs. 15.4 %). In conclusion, the mDCF regimen was associated with a statistically nonsignificant 2.4-month longer median overall survival without an increase in toxicity. This trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02445209.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 June 2016.
All research outputs
#20,332,117
of 22,876,619 outputs
Outputs from Medical Oncology
#960
of 1,295 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#224,585
of 267,279 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Medical Oncology
#12
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,876,619 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,295 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.0. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 267,279 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
