ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND/AIM: To investigate changes in post-progression chemotherapy (PPC) before and after nivolumab approval and determine their prognostic impact.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 146 patients with unresectable gastric cancer who had at least progressive disease after first- and/or second-line chemotherapy were retrospectively enrolled.

RESULTS: Among the 146 patients, 46 and 23 received ramucirumab and nivolumab, respectively. Moreover, 95 and 62 patients received PPC after first- and second-line chemotherapy, respectively. Group B (i.e., at least chemotherapy after nivolumab approval) had significantly higher proportions of patients receiving ramucirumab therapy, nivolumab therapy, and PPC after first- or second-line chemotherapy compared to group A (i.e., termination of chemotherapy before nivolumab approval). Group A had significantly poorer prognosis than group B. Multivariate analysis showed that age, number of distant metastatic sites, and ramucirumab therapy were independent prognostic factors.

CONCLUSION: Changes in chemotherapeutic strategies, including PPC, might contribute to improved prognosis in patients with advanced gastric cancer.
