We examined cabazitaxel, a novel next generation taxoid, in patients with metastatic gastric cancer in a multicenter phase II study. Patients that have progressed on 1 or more prior therapies for locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic disease, were eligible and prior taxane therapy was allowed. Taxane-naïve and pretreated cohorts were analyzed independently for efficacy. The primary endpoint for both cohorts was progression-free survival (PFS) using RECIST 1.1, using a Simon’s two-stage design (10% significance, 80% power) for both cohorts. Comprehensive molecular annotation included whole exome and bulk RNA sequencing. Fifty-three patients enrolled in the taxane-naïve cohort (Arm A), and 23 patients in the prior-taxane cohort (Arm B), from January 8, 2013 to April 8, 2015: median age 61.7 years (range 35.5 – 91.8 years), 66% male, 66% Caucasian. The most common adverse events included neutropenia (17% Arm A, 39% Arm B), fatigue/muscle weakness (13%), and hematuria (12%). In Arm A, the 3-month PFS rate was 28% (95%CI 17–42%), and did not meet the pre-specified efficacy target. The 3-month PFS rate in Arm B was 35% (95% CI 16–57%), and surpassed its efficacy target. HER2 amplification or over-expression was associated with improved disease control (P=0.003), PFS (p=0.04) and overall survival (p=0.002). An M2 macrophage signature was also associated with improved survival (p=0.031). Cabazitaxel has modest activity in advanced gastric cancer, including in patients previously treated with taxanes. Her2 amplification/overexpression and M2 high macrophage signature are potential biomarkers for taxane efficacy that warrant further evaluation.
