4000 Background: Nivolumab plus chemotherapy (N+C) in the first-line treatment and nivolumab monotherapy in the third- or later-line have shown survival benefit in patients with unresectable advanced or recurrent G/GEJ cancer. Adjuvant chemotherapy after D2 or more extended gastrectomy is a widely used standard of care for pStage III G/GEJ cancer in Asia. However, standard adjuvant chemotherapy has shown limited efficacy for pStage III G/GEJ cancer. ATTRACTION-5 is the first phase 3 study to evaluate an immune checkpoint inhibitor in combination with adjuvant chemotherapy for pStage III G/GEJ cancer. Here, we report the first confirmatory results of N+C as postoperative adjuvant treatment. Methods: The ATTRACTION-5 study is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized study conducted in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China. We enrolled patients with pStage III G/GEJ cancer who had undergone D2 or more extended gastrectomy. Investigators selected an appropriate adjuvant chemotherapy (tegafur/gime

@antonyruggeri @ILSONDavid @YJanjigianMD @LizzySmyth1 @FlorianLordick @anthonyruggeri, this is a common post-op question. This is what we know: The FLOT4 study did not alter post-op tx based on TRG. Poor response (G3 Becker) occurs in ~38% and Partial (G2) in another 18%. Regardless, FLOT x 4 more cycles was given. https://t.co/5JPLZw8rly

The Intergroup 0116 and the MAGIC trials changed clinical practice for resectable gastric cancer in the Western world. In these trials, overall survival improved with post-operative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and perioperative chemotherapy (CT). Intention-to-treat analysis in the CRITICS trial of post-operative CT or post-operative CRT did not show a survival difference. The current study reports on…

@antonyruggeri @ILSONDavid @YJanjigianMD @LizzySmyth1 @FlorianLordick @AnthonyRuggeri We do know that changing to CRT did not demonstrate any improvement after neoadj ECX in CRITICS. In fact, changing to CRT was worse than more ECX. However, this is for all pts; wouldn't it be good to see outcomes explicitly only in those with poor TRG??: https://t.co/P4OCSKAdOa

@KrishanJethwa A good STUDY is to optimize systemic tx w RT, & salvage surgery only if necessary. But a study. Have to differentiate b/w standard care now & future goals. In SANO, we don’t know difference b/w AC & SCC nor long term consequence of delayed surgery in many. https://t.co/A1OfnE38kv
