Aim: We aimed to compare the efficacy and the safety of cisplatin plus 5-FU plus trastuzumab and mFOLFOX-6 plus trastuzumab at first-line treatment in HER2-positive metastatic gastric cancer. Method: It was a retrospective observational monocentric study. Patients diagnosed with HER2-positive metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma between January 2013 and December 2020 in Dr AY Ankara Oncology TRH were screened. Patients treated at least one cycle of treatment with either CF-T or mFOLFOX-T were included. Survival outcomes and treatment compliance of patients were compared between groups. Results: Of 52 patients, 55.8% (n=29) of patients were treated with CF-T, and 44.2% (n=23) with mFOLFOX-T. The median age at diagnosis was 60 years (IQR: 52-70) in the CF-T and 64 years (IQR: 59-70) in the mFOLFOX-T groups. De novo metastatic disease comprised 96.6% (n=28) of patients in the CF-T and 69.6% (n=16) in the mFOLFOX-T groups (p=0.016). Both IHC3+ and ISH positivity were observed 82.8% (n=24) of patients in the CF-T and 56.5% (n=13) in mFOLFOX-T groups (p=0.038). The mPFS was 10.4 months (95% CI 8.7-12.2) in the CF-T and 6.5 months (95% CI 5.5-7.6) in the mFOLFOX-T groups (p=0.532). The mOS was 12.2 months (95% CI 11.3-13.2) in the CF-T and 12.5 months (95% CI 9.8-15.5) in the mFOLFOX-T groups (p=0.974). No statistically significant difference regarding at least one dose reduction (31.0% vs 21.7%, p=0.453) and at least one dose delay (24.1% vs 21.7%, p=0.838) was observed between groups. Conclusion: It was revealed that CF-T and mFOLFOX6-T had similar efficacy and tolerability in patients with HER2-positive metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
