An early phase II study was conducted to evaluate the anti-tumor effects and toxicity of etoposide in patients with unresectable or relapsed advanced gastric cancer. From April 1991 to December 1992, 13 patients were enrolled into this study; one was subsequently considered ineligible. Before enrollment, all the patients had been treated with chemotherapy which did not include etoposide. Etoposide (100 mg/m2/day) was administered as an intravenous infusion over 120 min for five consecutive days and was repeated every four weeks. Seven patients received one course of this therapy and the remaining five received two. No patient showed a complete or a partial response. No change and progressive disease were observed in three and nine patients, respectively. The clinical toxicities (grade 3-4; WHO) of leukocytopenia, anemia and alopecia occurred in 50, 42, and 42% of the patients, respectively. We conclude that this dose of etoposide administered according to the present schedule is ineffective in previously treated patients with advanced gastric cancer.
