Introduction• Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth most common cancer
worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer-related death1
• Prognosis for advanced disease is poor with a 5-year survival rate of <10%– Chemotherapy in this setting remains palliative
• Currently used regimens yield:– response rates of up to 50%– 4 months median time to progression (TTP)– 8–9 months overall survival (OS)2–9
• There is a need for new chemotherapy protocols
• The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of docetaxel (T) plus oxaliplatin (E) with or without fluorouracil (F) or capecitabine (X) in advanced GC1Ferlay J, et al.

GATE Study Design• Phase II, multinational, randomized, three-arm,
parallel-group, stratified study
• Part 1– Pilot phase to determine optimal doses for
each regimen
• Part 2– Efficacy and safety evaluation of doses selected
in Part 1– Patients were randomized with stratification
according to: Country Weight loss (5% vs >5%) Measurable vs evaluable-only lesions

Patients• Age 18 years
• KPS >70
• Histologically proven metastatic or locally recurrent gastric adenocarcinoma (including gastroesophageal junction)
• At least 4 weeks after prior palliative radiotherapy and 3 weeks after surgery
• No prior palliative chemotherapy except for adjuvant/neoadjuvant fluorouracil, cisplatin, and epirubicin provided that relapse occurred >12 months after the end of chemotherapy
• Patients were excluded for serious illnesses or medical conditions and neurosensory symptoms NCI-CTCAE grade ≥2
Assessments and Statistics• Primary outcome
– Time to progression (TTP); from the time of randomization to the first progression or death from any cause
– Cut-off date for analysis was 1 year after last patient was randomized
• Secondary outcomes
– Overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR), safety
• Sample size calculation
– Part I: Two dose levels were defined per treatment arm and an estimated 60 patients were required to determine the optimal doses.
– Based on an estimated progression-free rate at 12 months of 23%, to obtain a precision of 10% of the 95%CI, 68 patients per arm were required. Assuming a dropout rate of 15%, a total of 240 patients were recruited (80 per arm plus the 30 treated at the optimal dose in part I).
• Analysis
– Intention-to-treat (ITT): all randomized patients
– Full-analysis population: all randomized and treated patients analyzed in the arm to which they were randomly assigned
– Safety population: received at least 1 dose of study drug
– Survival was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method
Patient Disposition In Part I, 41 patients were randomized at dose level 1
and 23 patients at dose level 2
• Part II optimal doses– TE /3w: T, 75 mg/m2; E, 130 mg/m2
– TEF / 2w: T, 50 mg/m2; E, 85 mg/m2; F, 2400 mg/m2 CIV 46h
– TEX / 3w: T, 50 mg/m2; E, 100 mg/m2; X, 625 mg/m2
BID
• 248 (98%) patients received treatment in Part II at the optimal dose
• Treatment was to be administered up to progression, unacceptable toxicities, or withdrawal of consent

Conclusions
Results of the GATE study suggest that in patients with advanced gastric cancer, treatment with docetaxel plus oxaliplatin and fluorouracil (TEF) was associated with improved time to progression, overall response rate, and overall survival with a better safety profile compared with docetaxel plus oxaliplatin (TE) and docetaxel plus oxaliplatin with capecitabine (TEX).
