Participants received S-1 25 milligrams per meter square (mg/m^2) orally twice daily (BID) every 12 hours from Day 1 through Day 21, 1 hour before or after meal with a glass of water; followed by a 7-day rest period from Day 22 to Day 28 in a 28-day cycle. Participants received a single dose of cisplatin 75 mg/m^2 as a 1- to 3-hour intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 following the morning dose of S-1 for a maximum of 8 cycles (each cycle of 28 days). Participants received study medication until progression of disease (PD), adverse event (AE), withdrawal of consent, or other reason for discontinuation, whichever happened earlier.
Participants received 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) 800 mg/m^2 per 24 hours as continuous IV infusion over 120 hours from Day 1 through Day 5 followed by a 16-day rest period on Days 6 through 21 in a 21-day cycle. Participants received a single dose of cisplatin 80 mg/m^2 as a 1- to 3-hour IV infusion on Day 1 prior to the start of the 5-FU infusion on Day 1 for a maximum of 8 cycles (each cycle of 21 days). Participants received study medication until PD, AE, withdrawal of consent, or other reason for discontinuation, whichever happened earlier.
