Tumor messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression levels may have a promising role as potential predictive biomarkers for chemotherapy.
Peritoneal carcinomatosis appears to be the most common pattern of metastasis or recurrence and is associated with poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy is widely accepted strategy in the treatment of peritoneal dissemination.
In this study, our aim is to evaluate the impact of individualized selection of chemotherapeutics and intraperitoneal combined with system chemotherapy on overall survival, disease free survival, response rate, and safety of advanced gastric cancer patients.

Experimental: Individualized Group
mRNA levels of BRCA1, topoisomerase I (TOPO1), and thymidylate synthase (TS) were assessed in tumor tissue. Chemotherapeutic agents were selected based on the mRNA levels. Patients with high level BRCA1 will receive intraperitoneal docetaxel (15mg/m^2, d1, d15, q4w), intravenous docetaxel (30mg/m^2, d1, d15, q4w), and oral S-1 (40mg/m^2, d1-14, q4w). Patients with low level BRCA1 will receive intraperitoneal cisplatin (25mg/m^2, d1, d15, q4w), intravenous oxaliplatin (75mg/m^2, d1, d15, q4w), and oral S-1 (40mg/m^2, d1-14, q4w). Patients with middle level BRCA1 and high level TOPO1 will receive intraperitoneal irinotecan (45mg/m^2, d1, d15, q4w), intravenous docetaxel (90mg/m^2, d1, d15, q4w), and oral S-1 (40mg/m^2, d1-14, q4w). Patients with middle level BRCA1, low or middle level TOPO1, and low level TS will receive intraperitoneal pemetrexed (150mg/m^2, d1, q3w), and intravenous pemetrexed (350mg/m^2, d1, q3w). |
Drug: Docetaxel
intraperitoneal and/or intravenous Drug: Oxaliplatin intravenous Drug: Cisplatin intraperitoneal Drug: Irinotecan intraperitoneal and/or intravenous Drug: Pemetrexed intraperitoneal and/or intravenous Drug: S1 oral |
Active Comparator: Control Group
mRNA levels of BRCA1, TOPO1, and TS were assessed in tumor tissue for every enrolled patients. Patients in control group will receive intravenous docetaxel (45mg/m^2, d1, d15, q4w), and oral S-1 (40mg/m^2, d1-14, q4w). |
Drug: Docetaxel

- Progression-free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: up to 1 year ]the follow-up visit of PFS will be performed every 6 weeks
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: up to 2 years ]OS means that from the first dose of treatment drug to death or lost, the follow-up visit will be performed every 3 months till death or lost
- Objective Response Rate [ Time Frame: up to 24 weeks ]CT/MRI will be performed every 2 cycles of treatment for efficacy evaluation
- Adverse Events [ Time Frame: up to 1 months ]participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay
