Chemotherapy drug: The preoperative SOX chemotherapy consists of three-week cycles of intravenously administered oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 on day 1 and orally administered S-1 40-60 mg twice a day (BID) on day 1 to 14. The dose of S-1 depends on body surface area (BSA): 40mg BID for BSA \< 1.25 m2; 50mg BID for 1.25 m2 \< BSA \<1.5 m2; 60mg BID for BSA \> 1.5 m2. Day 15 to day 21 is the rest period.
Gastrectomy: Surgery is planned 3-4 weeks after the last cycle of chemotherapy. A standard D2 radical laparoscopic gastrectomy is recommended. The extent of gastric resection and lymphadenectomy were performed as per the treatment guidelines. Reconstruction after gastrectomy was decided by the surgeon. All operations are performed by well trained and experienced surgical team to guarantee the quality of surgery, including harvesting more than 16 lymph nodes.
Laparoscopic exploration: Laparoscopic exploration is to detect occult peritoneal metastases and inspect the primary lesion, liver, diaphragm, pelvic organs, bowel and omentum according to the standard acquirements reported before. Patients with any patterns of distant metastases, suggestive of distant metastasis (M1), will be excluded from the trial.
Study summary
RESONANCE-II trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled phase III study which will enroll 524 patients in total. Patients with eligibility will be registered, pre-enrolled and receive three cycles of SOX. Then, tumor response evaluation will be carried out. Those who achieve stable disease or progressive disease will be excluded. Patients achieving complete response or partial response will be enrolled and assigned into either group A for another three cycles of SOX (six cycles in total) followed by D2 surgery and group B for D2 surgery (three cycles in total). The primary endpoint is the rate of pathological complete response and the secondary endpoints are R0 resection rate, three-year disease-free survival, five-year overall survival and safety.
