Background The efficacy of irinotecan plus continuous trastuzumab beyond progression in patients with gastric cancer previously treated with trastuzumab plus standard first-line chemotherapy has not been reported. Methods Patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive advanced gastric cancer who were previously treated with trastuzumab received trastuzumab every 3 weeks and irinotecan every 2 weeks. The primary endpoint was the overall response rate (ORR), and the secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), 6-month survival rates, safety, and subgroup analysis by HER2 status. Results Sixteen patients were enrolled in a 3-year pre-planned registration period. This study was prematurely closed due to poor patient accrual. The ORR and disease control rate were 6.7% (95% CI, 0.2-32.0) and 53.3% (95% CI, 26.6-78.7). The median PFS and overall survival (OS) were 2.4 months (95% CI, 0.0-5.2) and 9.7 months (95% CI, 8.2-11.2), respectively. The most frequently reported grades 3-4 adverse events were neutropenia (40%), anemia (27%), anorexia (33%), and fatigue (33%). Conclusion With only 16 patients enrolled, the present study has very low power to detect any clinical benefit of trastuzumab plus irinotecan beyond disease progression in patients with HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer who previously received trastuzumab. Trial Identifier: UMIN7636.
