14083 Background: S-1, a fourth generation oral fluoropyrimidine that mimics infusional 5-fluorouracil, has demonstrated activity against advanced gastric cancer. Based on a single agent activity and in vitro synergy between mitomycin C (MMC) and 5-fluorouracil, we conducted a phase II study to assess the efficacy and tolerability of the combination of S-1 and MMC as second-line chemotherapy for previously treated, advanced gastric cancer. Methods: Patients with measurable gastric cancer, progressive after at least one prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease, were treated with MMC 7 mg/m2 on day 1 and S-1 40 mg/m2 twice daily as an intermittent regimen of 4 weeks of treatment followed by a 2-week rest. Treatment was repeated every 6 weeks, for up to 4 cycles. Objective response rate was the primary endpoint and was evaluated every 2 cycles of chemotherapy. With a single-stage phase II design, at least 25 patients were required. Results: Of the 26 patients registered, 24 patients were evaluable for response and 26 for safety. Eighteen patients (69%) were previously treated with 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy, and 10 (39%) were treated with taxanes. The patients’ median age was 55 years (range, 38–73) and 7 (27%) had an ECOG performance status of 2. A total of 64 chemotherapy cycles were delivered (median, 2; range, 1–4). In an intent-to-treat analysis, 6 patients (23%) achieved a partial response, which maintained for 3.5 months. The median progression-free and overall survivals were 4.4 months (95% CI, 1.7–7.2) and 5.4 months (95% CI, 3.4–7.4), respectively. Major toxic effects included stomatitis, diarrhea and fatigue, but were generally mild and manageable. No patient developed hemolytic reaction. Conclusions: Second-line chemotherapy with MMC and S-1 is an effective regimen for advanced gastric cancer with an acceptable toxicity profile and a convenient administration schedule. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

In this research, ICR male mice were chosen for intrahepatic implantation of sarcoma 180 tumor cells (1 × 107). The mice were randomly divided into various groups 24 hours after implantation. One of the groups was the tumor control, the others were singly or combinedly treated with mitomycin C (MMC) and Shih Chuan-Ta-Pu-Tang (SCTPT) or Shi-Hung-One (SHO). The results revealed that the mortality rate (MR60) in the tumor control was 100% and the mean survival time (MST60) was 21.11 ± 10.69 days. The best therapeutic effect appeared in the group treated with the combination of MMC and SHO, its MR6o was 55.0% and MST 60 was 47.0 ± 13.4 days.

Aims and background Vinorelbine, a new semi-synthetic vinca alkaloid, has demonstrated high activity as a single agent in pretreated metastatic breast cancer. Patients and methods To evaluate the activity of the combination vinorelbine-mitomycin C and to reduce the incidence of side effects, in particular myelotoxicity, patients with metastatic breast cancer pretreated with 1 or more chemotherapy regimens for metastatic disease were treated according to the following schedule: mitomycin C, 10 mg/m2 day 1, and vinorelbine, 25 mg/m2, days 1, 8 and 15, every 28 days. Results Twenty-seven patients were enrolled and were evaluable for activity and side effects. A total of 157 cycles were delivered (median 5 cycles per patient). There were 10 partial remissions (37%; 95% confidence interval 20-59%), 5 instances of stable disease and 12 of disease progression. Grade III-IV toxicity was mostly hematological and included thrombocytopenia (4%) and neutropenia (42%). Conclusion Our results indicate that the combination of mitomycin C and vinorelbine has moderate activity in pretreated breast cancer.
