The phase III multinational, randomized, double-blind study evaluated trifluridine and tipiracil plus best supportive care (BSC) versus placebo plus BSC in patients with metastatic gastric cancer refractory to standard treatments.
The median OS in patients treated with trifluridine/tipiracil was 5.7 months as compared to 3.6 months when treated with placebo, and they had a 31% risk reduction of death. At 12-months, OS rates were 21.2% in the trifluridine/tipiracil group and 13.0% in the placebo group. In addition, the risk for disease progression measured by progression free survival was reduced by 43%.
