Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy and/or chemoradiotherapy have been the standard of care in GC for years, supported by randomized trials. We compared the efficacy of different chemotherapy regimens and chemoradiotherapy in patients with D2-resected, stage II/III, node-positive GC. Methods: From Feb 2013 through Nov 2018, we randomly assigned, in a 1:1:1 ratio, patients with pathologically-staged II or III, node-positive, D2-resected GC, to receive adjuvant S-1 (40-60 mg twice daily 4-weeks-on/2-weeks-off) for one year, S-1 (2-weeks-on/1-week-off) plus oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 (SOX) for six months, or SOX plus chemoradiotherapy 45 Gy (SOXRT). Randomization was stratified according to the type of surgery (total or subtotal gastrectomy), stage (II or III), and Lauren histologic classification (diffuse or intestinal). The primary endpoint was disease-free survival (DFS). A total of 900 patients had to be enrolled to demonstrate superiority of SOX or SOXRT to S-1 (hazard ratio [HR] 0.667), with 90% power at a two-sided significance level of 5%. Results: A total of 538 patients were included for this interim efficacy analysis. Median age was 58 years, men constituted 65%, and stage II and III were 31% and 69%, respectively. Baseline tumor and patient characteristics were balanced between treatment arms. Adverse events were as anticipated in each arm, generally well-tolerated and manageable. DFS in the control arm (S-1) were significantly shorter than in SOX and SOXRT arms (stratified HR for recurrence): S-1 vs. SOX, 0.617 (P = 0.016) and S-1 vs. SOXRT, 0.686 (P = 0.057). The DFS at 3-years was found to be 65%, 78% and 73% in S-1, SOX and SOXRT arms, respectively. No difference in DFS between SOX and SOXRT was found (HR 0.910, P = 0.667). Based on the results after the observation of 145 recurrence events at the cutoff date of Dec 27, 2018, the independent data monitoring committee considered the results sufficient to meet the endpoint of the trial and recommended early stopping of the trial. Conclusions: In patients with curatively D2-resected, stage II/III, node-positive GC, adjuvant SOX or SOXRT was effective in prolonging DFS, when compared to S-1 monotherapy. Clinical trial information: NCT0176146.
