Abstract The combinations of oral fluoropyrimidines and cisplatin such as capecitabine and cisplatin (XP) or 5-FU and cisplatin (FP) are regarded as a standard therapy against HER-2 positive advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Trastuzumab-XP (HXP) and trastuzumab-FP (HFP) is the most common regimen against AGC in Korea. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of trastuzumab-XP vs trastuzumab-FP. Patients with HER2-positive AGC were assigned to the trastuzumabXP or trastuzumabFP group. We then retrospectively compared the efficacy and safety between both groups. As a first-line chemotherapy, trastuzumab in combination with XP or FP was administered to 2, 399 patients: 1, 913 with HXP and 486 with HFP. In the HXP group vs HFP group, median progression-free survival (mPFS), and median overall survival (mOS) were 8. 02 vs 6. 08 months (p 0. 0001) and 13. 27 vs 9. 89 months (p 0. 0001). In HFP group, mPFS and mOS were 10. 15 vs 5. 36 months (p 0. 0001) and 15. 15 vs 8. 90 months (p 0. 0001) in comparison HFP-H maintenance to HFP group. In HXP group, mPFS and mOS were 10. 64 vs 13. 44 vs 5. 03 months (p 0. 0001) and 20. 14 vs 22. 18 vs 9. 10 months (p 0. 0001) in comparison HXP-H maintenance, HXP-HX maintenance, and HXP group. Trastuzumab in combination with XP and HX maintenance is a potential first-line therapeutic option for patients with HER2-positive AGC.
