Abstract
Aims: Describe the characteristics, treatment patterns and outcomes of Chinese patients with unresectable advanced/metastatic (UAM) gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GA/GEJA).
Methods: This multicenter, retrospective, observational study included adults diagnosed with UAM GA/GEJA in China from 2017-2020.
Results: Among 2,745 patients, 1,902, 729, and 284 received first-, second- and third-line (1 L, 2 L and 3 L) therapy-respectively. Most patients received chemotherapy alone in 1 L (84.1%) and 2 L (63.6%), and targeted-therapy-based treatment in 3 L (49.2%). Median real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) was 6.5, 4.2, and 3.2 months in 1 L, 2 L, and 3 L, respectively.
Conclusions: Chinese patients with UAM GA/GEJA mainly received chemotherapy alone in 1 L/2 L and targeted therapy in 3 L. Median rwPFS was short in all lines, highlighting the need for more effective treatments.
