The purpose of this study is to assess objective tumor response in the single agent treatment of PEP02, irinotecan, or docetaxel for locally advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma

Palliative chemotherapy has been shown to improve survival compared with best supportive care alone in patients with unresectable or recurrent gastric cancer. There is no standard second-line chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer and no randomized-controlled trial data suggest a benefit of second-line chemotherapy compared with supportive care alone. Response rates of second-line therapy in phase II trials are similar to those seen for other cancers that are more commonly retreated. Combination therapy may achieve higher response rates than single agents, however, the survival outcome are the same. In addition, data suggest that patients may obtain symptomatic benefits from second-line therapy. In comparison to the toxicity profile of single agent with combination regimen, patients are more tolerable to single agent therapy than combination.

Based on the previous clinical experience in second line chemotherapy of advanced gastric cancer, the single agent of PEP02, irinotecan and docetaxel are selected as the regimens for this randomized phase II study. The efficacy and toxicity outcome of the three-arm design will be a valuable reference for future combination therapy or phase III study design.
