Background
Patients with advanced gastroesophageal junction cancer (GEJC) have poor survival outcomes, and GEJC-specific data from trials evaluating agents in gastric cancers (GCs) as a whole are lacking. Trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) was approved for previously treated metastatic GC or GEJC (mGC/mGEJC) based on results of the phase 3 TAGS trial. Subgroup analyses by primary tumor type (GC or GEJC) in TAGS are reported here.
Methods
Pa tients with mGC/mGEJC treated with ≥ 2 prior chemotherapy regimens were randomized (2:1) to receive FTD/TPI or placebo, plus best supportive care. A pre-planned sub-analysis was performed to evaluate efficacy and safety outcomes by primary tumor type (GEJC or GC).
Results
Of 507 randomized patients, 145 (29%) had GEJC and 360 (71%) had GC as the primary disease site. Baseline characteristics were generally similar between the GEJC and GC subgroups, except that more patients in the GEJC subgroup had received ≥ 3 prior regimens (72 vs. 59% in the GC subgroup). Survival benefit with FTD/TPI was observed in both subgroups. The overall survival hazard ratio for FTD/TPI vs placebo was 0.75 (95% CI 0.50–1.11) and 0.67 (95% CI 0.52–0.87) in the GEJC and GC subgroups, respectively. Grade ≥ 3 adverse events of any cause were reported in 75 (77%) and 192 (81%) FTD/TPI-treated patients in the GEJC and GC subgroups, respectively. No new safety concerns were noted with FTD/TPI.
Conclusion
As in patients with GC, FTD/TPI showed an efficacy benefit in patients with GEJC in the TAGS trial, along with demonstrating a manageable safety profile.

转移性胃食管结合部癌患者的曲氟尿苷/替吡嘧啶:来自 3 期 TAGS 研究的亚组分析
背景
晚期胃食管结合部癌 (GEJC) 患者的生存结果较差,并且缺乏来自评估整个胃癌 (GC) 药物试验的 GEJC 特异性数据。根据 3 期 TAGS 试验的结果,曲氟尿苷/替吡嘧啶 (FTD/TPI) 被批准用于先前治疗的转移性 GC 或 GEJC (mGC/mGEJC)。本文报道了 TAGS 中按原发肿瘤类型(GC 或 GEJC)进行的亚组分析。
方法
接受≥2 种既往化疗方案治疗的 mGC/mGEJC 患者随机 (2:1) 接受 FTD/TPI 或安慰剂,以及最佳支持治疗。进行了预先计划的子分析,以评估原发肿瘤类型(GEJC 或 GC)的疗效和安全性结果。
结果
在 507 名随机患者中,145 名 (29%) 患有 GEJC,360 名 (71%) 患有 GC 作为主要疾病部位。GEJC 和 GC 亚组之间的基线特征基本相似,除了 GEJC 亚组中有更多患者接受了≥ 3 种先前方案(GC 亚组中为 72% 对 59%)。在两个亚组中都观察到了 FTD/TPI 的生存获益。在 GEJC 和 GC 亚组中,FTD/TPI 与安慰剂的总生存风险比分别为 0.75(95% CI 0.50–1.11)和 0.67(95% CI 0.52–0.87)。GEJC 和 GC 亚组分别有 75 名 (77%) 和 192 名 (81%) 接受 FTD/TPI 治疗的患者报告了任何原因的 ≥ 3 级不良事件。FTD/TPI 没有发现新的安全问题。
结论
与 GC 患者一样,FTD/TPI 在 TAGS 试验中对 GEJC 患者显示出疗效益处,同时显示出可控的安全性。
