Oxaliplatin plus Capecitabine in the Perioperative Treatment of Locally Advanced Gastric Adenocarcinoma in Combination with D2 Gastrectomy: NEO-CLASSIC Study.

ABSTRACT:

Lessons learned

The NEO-CLASSIC study provided valuable insight for the clinical efficacy and tolerability profiles of perioperative chemotherapy with oxaliplatin and capecitabine, plus gastrectomy, in patients with localized resectable gastric cancer.The study was designed to explore the potential survival benefits of an eight-cycle, perioperative oxaliplatin and capecitabine (XELOX) schedule in the above-mentioned setting and to explore the feasibility of prolonging the cycles of preoperative chemotherapy. The projected endpoint was not met.
