Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is compare overall survival of the test arm (CPT-11/S-1 combination) to the control arm (CPT-11 alone) in the subjects with S-1 refractory advanced gastric cancer.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Gastric Cancer Drug: S-1 + irinotecan Drug: irinotecan Phase 2 Phase 3

Detailed Description:

Standard chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer (AGC) in the US is Cisplatin/5-FU (CF) or docetaxel/CF (DCF), is in Europe epirubicin/CF (ECF) or epirubicin/oxaliplatin/ capecitabine (EOX). Until 2006, there was no evidence of standard chemotherapy for AGC in Japan. In 2007, by the results of JCOG9912 trial (5-FU alone vs. CPT-11/CDDP vs S-1) and SPIRITS trial (S-1 alone vs. S-1/CDDP), S-1/CDDP is regarded as a new standard regimen in Japan. In 2008, by the results of TOP-002 trial (s-1 alone vs. S-1/CPT-11), S-1/CPT-11 could not show the superiority to S-1 alone. One of the other phase III trials, JACCRO GC-03 trial (S-1 alone vs. S-1/docetaxel, NCT00287768) is now ongoing. However, the position of CPT-11 in the treatment of AGC will be regarded as a second-line.

In Japan there is a controversy for the treatment of S-1 refractory gastric cancer. The controversy is continuing S-1 (like FOLFOX to FOLFIRI) or not as a second-line. After the successful adjuvant S-1 results (ACTS-GC trial), the same problem will occur in the patients who are recurrent from adjuvant S-1.

Then, we conducted a phase II/III trial of CPT-11 with or without S-1 in the treatment of first-line S-1 refractory AGC.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. In phase II part, progressive disease rate will be measured for the safety. In phase III part, overall survival will be measured for the benefit of doublet. [ Time Frame: Phase II: 6 weeks from treatment, Phase III: 2 years OS from randomization ]
