Global chemotherapy development for gastric cancer

Abstract: To combat the dismal mortality rates from metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC), new drugs and treatment strategies are needed. Today, metastatic GAC is predominantly treated by empiric chemotherapy. Combination of two cytotoxic agents has become commonplace in North America, Europe, and Asia. Human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) overexpression (protein or gene copy numbers) has resulted in the addition of trastuzumab in the first-line chemotherapy combination in patients whose tumor is HER2 positive.

“…Median PFS was 4.8 months with chemotherapy and 7.9 months with chemotherapy plus IMAB362 (HR = 0.47, P = 0.0001), whereas median OS was 8.4 months versus 13.2 months, respectively (HR = 0.51, P = 0.0001). The benefit was more pronounced among patients with high expression of CLDN18.2; staining in ≥70% of tumor cells [51].…”
