Trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) prolongs survival in the third- or later-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer (GC), esophagogastric junction (EGJ) adenocarcinoma, and colorectal cancer. While single-arm phase II trials showed promising outcomes of FTD/TPI plus ramucirumab (RAM) as third- or later-line treatments for advanced GC or EGJ cancer, there have been no clinical trials to directly compare FTD/TPI plus RAM with FTD/TPI monotherapy. Therefore, we have started a randomised phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FTD/TPI plus RAM compared with FTD/TPI monotherapy as third- or later-line treatments in patients with advanced GC and EGJ adenocarcinoma.
This RETREVE trial (WJOG15822G) is a prospective, open-label, randomised, multicentre phase II trial comparing FTD/TPI plus RAM versus FTD/TPI monotherapy in a third- or later-line setting. Eligibility criteria include age of > 20 years; performance status of 0 or 1; unresectable or recurrent gastric or EGJ adenocarcinoma; confirmed HER2 status; refractory or intolerant to fluoropyrimidine, taxane or irinotecan; refractory to RAM (not intolerant); and at least a measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1. FTD/TPI (35 mg/m twice daily, evening of day 1 to morning of day 6 and evening of day 8 to morning of day 13) was administered orally every 4 weeks, and RAM (8 mg/kg) was administered intravenously every 2 weeks. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoints are overall survival, objective response rate, disease control rate, and safety. The expected hazard ratio of PFS is set as 0.7, assuming 4-month PFS rate of 27% in FTD/TPI monotherapy and 40% in FTD/TPI plus RAM. The number of subjects was 110, with a one-sided alpha error of 0.10 and power of 0.70.
This study will clarify the additional effect of RAM continuation beyond disease progression on FTD/TPI in the third- or later-line setting for patients with advanced GC or EGJ cancer.

曲氟尿苷替匹嘧啶(FTD/TPI)可延长三线或后线晚期胃癌(GC)、食管胃结合部(EGJ)腺癌和结直肠癌的生存时间。虽然单臂 II 期试验表明 FTD/TPI 联合雷莫芦单抗(RAM)作为晚期 GC 或 EGJ 癌症的三线或后线治疗具有良好的疗效,但尚无临床试验直接比较 FTD/TPI 联合 RAM 与 FTD/TPI 单药治疗。因此,我们开展了一项随机 II 期试验,以评估 FTD/TPI 联合 RAM 与 FTD/TPI 单药作为晚期 GC 和 EGJ 腺癌三线或后线治疗的疗效和安全性。
这项 RETREVE 试验(WJOG15822G)是一项前瞻性、开放标签、随机、多中心 II 期试验,比较了 FTD/TPI 联合 RAM 与 FTD/TPI 单药在三线或后线治疗中的疗效。入选标准包括年龄>20 岁;体力状态 0 或 1 级;不可切除或复发性胃或 EGJ 腺癌;HER2 状态明确;氟嘧啶、紫杉烷或伊立替康耐药或不耐受;对 RAM 耐药(不耐受);且根据 RECIST 1.1 标准至少有一个可测量病灶。FTD/TPI(35mg/m,每日两次,第 1 天晚上至第 6 天早上,第 8 天晚上至第 13 天早上)每 4 周口服,RAM(8mg/kg)每 2 周静脉注射。主要终点是无进展生存期(PFS),次要终点是总生存期、客观缓解率、疾病控制率和安全性。假设 FTD/TPI 单药治疗的 4 个月 PFS 率为 27%,FTD/TPI 联合 RAM 治疗的 4 个月 PFS 率为 40%,则 PFS 的预期风险比设定为 0.7。需要入组 110 例患者,单侧 α 错误为 0.10,功效为 0.70。
本研究将明确在晚期 GC 或 EGJ 癌症三线或后线治疗中,在疾病进展后继续使用 RAM 对 FTD/TPI 的附加疗效。
