A phase II study of biweekly S-1 and paclitaxel (SPA) as first-line chemotherapy in patients with metastatic or advanced gastric cancer

Abstract: Biweekly S-1 and paclitaxel (SPA regimen) combination therapy had promising activity with acceptable adverse toxicities. SPA regimen was easily implemented, and more patients received second-line chemotherapy. It deserved to conduct a well-designed randomized phase III study to compare this regimen with S-1-based combination treatment.

“…Additionally, there is no evidence for the selective superiority of the SPA regimen and the SOX regimen. In a phase II study of the SPA regimen as first-line chemotherapy for patients with metastatic or advanced GC, median PFS and OS were 5.2 months and 12.2 months, respectively (50). In a phase III Japanese study of SOX as first-line chemotherapy for advanced GC patients, the PFS and OS were 5.5 months and 14.1 months, respectively (51).…”

“…Similarly, docetaxel has also shown encouraging results in gastric cancer with notable objective responses and meaningful survival advantage (Brower, 2015; Shah et al, 2015). Taxane-based chemotherapy regimens have been validated as promising effective treatments for gastric cancer due to significantly increasing the overall survival compared with placebo and possessing the favorable activity with acceptable adverse toxicities against gastric cancer (Constenla et al, 2002; Wilke et al, 2014; Jiang et al, 2015). There is also increasing concern about the anticancer mechanisms of paclitaxel and docetaxel, and multiple studies have recognized that paclitaxel can arrest mitosis and the cell cycle to induce the death of cells by stabilizing microtubules and interfering with microtubule disassembly during cell division.…”
