XELOX doublet regimen versus EOX triplet regimen as first‐line treatment for advanced gastric cancer: An open‐labeled, multicenter, randomized, prospective phase III trial (EXELOX)

Abstract

This non-inferiority trial demonstrated that the doublet regimen was as effective as the triplet regimen and had a better safety profile and QoL as a first-line treatment for AGC patients. However, the triplet regimen might have a survival advantage in patients with poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and liver metastasis.
