The prognosis of locally advanced gastric cancer is poor even if radical gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy is followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. Hence, neoadjuvant chemotherapy is performed to try to improve the prognosis, as it can significantly downstage the tumor and safely improve the R0 resection rate of patients. Herein, we report a case of locally advanced gastric cancer with pancreatic invasion and gastric outlet obstruction that showed a pathological complete response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 and oxaliplatin (SOX). A 74-year-old man presented to our hospital with abdominal pain and pyloric stenosis. CT images revealed a cStage IVb, cT4b tumor in the pancreas, cN1, cM0. Therefore, we performed laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy, and the patient’s oral intake improved after surgery; we then administered neoadjuvant chemotherapy with SOX on postoperative day 18, without any surgical complications. After 3 courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the patient underwent radical distal gastrectomy, thereby avoiding pancreatoduodenectomy. Histopathological examination of the resected sample revealed no residual cancer cells, indicating a pathological complete response. No recurrence has occurred for 1 year after surgery. Thus, neoadjuvant chemotherapy with SOX can help in tumor downstaging and may be a multipotent option for the treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer, such as cases with the invasion of other organs; this treatment can result in improved curability and avoid overinvasive surgery.

e16569 Background: The incidence, prognostic and predictive impacts of PD-L1 expression in locally advanced gastric cancer is unknown. We aimed to determine the expression of PD-L1 by CPS in the pre-treatment biopsy and surgical specimens of patients (pts) with gastric cancer who received neoadjuvant therapy and its association with pathological response and survival outcomes. Methods: Retrospective cohort of pts treated at a cancer center from 2007 to 2017. Pts with confirmed gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma who received neoadjuvant treatment and curative-intent D2 surgery were included. Gastric stump tumors and those who had a total esophagectomy were excluded. Clinical data were obtained from medical charts. Biopsy samples and a tissue microarray with the most representative areas of the surgical specimen were used to detect PD-L1 IHC expression with 22C3 phamDx antibody. Results were analyzed using the CPS score. Overall and DFS survival included the Kaplan-Meier product-limit estimator in an ITT analysis and a Cox regression was used to obtain crude and adjusted HR for prognostic factors. Results: 270 pts were included: median age was 58.9 years, most (51.5%) had cT3-T4N+ stages, 45% had diffuse histology and 87.8% completed the preoperative regimen. 13% had a pCR, while 53% had minimal tumor regression. With a median follow-up of 60.3 months (CI 95% 54.7 – 65.8), the median OS and DFS were not reached. 11.4% of biopsies and 18.6% of surgical specimens had positive CPS, with a median score of 3 (IQR 2,0 – 7,5) and 9 (IQR 5.0 – 20.0) respectively. In 18.9% of paired samples the PD-L1 expression was found to be negative in the biopsy sample and positive in the surgical specimen. PD-L1 expression was neither associated with pathologic response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, nor with survival outcomes. Conclusions: PD-L1 expression on the setting of locally advanced gastric cancer was low and it was different when biopsy and surgical specimens were compared. No impact on survival results could be detected. [Table: see text]

Abstract Background Curing locally advanced gastric cancer through surgery alone is difficult. Adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy bring potential benefits to more patients with gastric cancer based on several clinical trials. According to phase II studies and guidelines, SOX regimen as neoadjuvant chemotherapy is efficient. However, the optimal duration of neoadjuvant chemotherapy has not been established. In this study, we will evaluate the efficacy and safety of different cycles of SOX as neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. Methods RESONANCE-II trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled phase III study which will enroll 524 patients in total. Eligible patients will be registered, pre-enrolled and receive three cycles of SOX, after which tumor response evaluations will be carried out. Those who show stable disease or progressive disease will be excluded. Patients showing complete response or partial response will be enrolled and assigned into either group A for another three cycles of SOX (six cycles in total) followed by D2 surgery; or group B for D2 surgery (three cycles in total). The primary endpoint is the rate of pathological complete response and the secondary endpoints are R0 resection rate, three-year disease-free survival, five-year overall survival, and safety. Discussion This study is the first phase III randomized trial to compare the cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy using SOX for resectable locally advanced cancer. Based on a total of six to eight cycles of perioperative chemotherapy usually applied in locally advanced gastric cancer, patients in group A can be considered to have completed all perioperative chemotherapy, the results of which may suggest the feasibility of using chemotherapy only before surgery in gastric cancer. Trial registration Registered prospectively in the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (WHO ICTRP) with registration number ChiCTR1900023293 on May 21st, 2019.

205 Background:TAS-118 (S-1 and leucovorin) + oxaliplatin (L-OHP) improved overall survival (OS) compared to S-1 + cisplatin for patients (pts) with advanced gastric cancer (GC) (Kang, Lancet Oncol. 2020). This study investigated the feasibility of peri (pre and post)-operative (op) chemotherapy (chemo) with TAS-118 ± L-OHP in pts with locally advanced resectable GC. While it was reported that pre-op TAS-118 + L-OHP followed by D2 gastrectomy was well tolerated and showed promising efficay (Takahari, ASCO-GI. 2020), the recommended post-op chemo regimen, TAS-118 or TAS-118 + L-OHP, has yet to be determined. Methods:Eligible pts with GC of clinical T3-4N1-3M0 were enrolled. The protocol treatment consisted of pre-op chemo with 4 courses of TAS-118 (40-60 mg/body, orally, twice daily, 7 days) + L-OHP (85 mg/m2, intravenously, day 1) in a 2-week cycle, and gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy, followed by post-op chemo with 12 courses of TAS-118 (step 1) and 8 courses of TAS-118 + L-OHP (step 2). Step 2 was started if the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) occurred in < 6 of 10 pts in step 1. Up to 20 pts were included in the analysis of feasibility after a recommended regimen was determined. Results:Between December 2016 and February 2019, 45 pts were enrolled. The numbers of pts with cT3/4a and cN1/2/3 were 13/32 and 25/17/3, respectively. Excluding 14 pts (4 achieving pathological complete response, 4 not satisfying the criteria for post-op chemo, 3 physician judgement or pt withdrawal, 2 progressive disease, 1 adverse event [AE]), 31 pts (11/20 in step 1/2) received the post-op chemo. No DLT was observed in either step. The post-op chemo completion rate was 90.9% (95% CI, 63.6-99.5) in step 1 and 80.0% (95% CI, 59.9-92.9) in step 2. The median relative dose intensity of TAS-118 in step 1 was 83.3%, and those of TAS-118 and L-OHP in step 2 were 69.9% and 74.3%, respectively. One pt in step 2 discontinued post-op chemo due to AE. Grade ³ 3 AEs observed in ≥ 10% of pts were weight loss in both step 1 and step 2 (2 in each), and hypokalemia (n = 3) and neutropenia (n = 2) in step 2. At 1-year follow-up after the last pt was enrolled, recurrence-free survival and OS rates were 91.1% (95% CI, 78.0-96.6) and 100%, respectively at 12 months, and 69.1% (95% CI, 49.6-82.3) and 95.5% (95% CI, 71.9-99.3), respectively at 24 months. Conclusions:Taken together with the feasibility and efficacy of pre-op chemo, peri-op chemo with TAS-118 + L-OHP with D2 gastrectomy was well tolerated and showed promising efficacy.
