Detailed Description:

There is no regimen considered standard in advanced gastric cancer. The reported response rates of 5-FU-based combination chemotherapy are higher than single agents (10-50%) but more toxic. The combination of 5-FU/LV and LOHP has demonstrated an ORR of 43%, median TTP of approximately 6,5 months and OS of 8,6 months in phase II trials, with an acceptable toxicity.

Irinotecan (CPT-11) is effective as salvage treatment in metastatic gastric cancer and has a synergistic activity with LOHP in preclinical trials

Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:	18 Years to 75 Years
Genders Eligible for Study:	Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	No

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer.
Measurable or evaluable disease.
Measurable disease is defined as at least 1 unidimensionally measurable lesion ≥ 20 mm by conventional techniques or 1 bidimensionally measurable lesion ≥ 20 X 10 mm. Lesions that are smaller or uni- or bidimensionally unmeasurable are considered as evaluable disease.
Previous adjuvant chemotherapy with Irinotecan, Oxaliplatin and/or 5-FU based regimen. Patients who relapse within the first 6 months after the completion of adjuvant treatment are not eligible for the study.
Karnofsky performance status > 70%.
Age ≥18 years.

Patients must be able to understand the nature of this study and give written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

Active infection
History of serious cardiac disease (unstable angina, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction within the previous 6 months, ventricular arrhythmias)
Previous radiotherapy within the last 4 weeks or > 25% of bone marrow.
Patients with CNS metastases
Patients with chronic diarrhea (at least for 3 months) or partial bowel obstruction.
Malnutrition or loss of > 10% of body weight during the last month.
Peripheral neuropathy ≥ grade 2
Second primary malignancy, except for non-melanoma skin cancer and in situ cervical cancer.
