About this trial
This is a phase 1b prospective, single arm, open-label trial determining the efficacy and feasibility of using a response-guided approach to help guide neoadjuvant chemotherapy in subjects with Stage IB, II or Stage III adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction (GEA).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction (GEA). Other GE histologies which are treated per NCCN guidelines for neoadjuvant treatment are eligible.
Must have Stage IB, II or Stage III GEA eligible for (neo)adjuvant doublet or triplet chemotherapy for up to 6 months.
Age ≥ 18 years Because the safety or efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for LGEA has not been tested or established for patients <18 years of age, children are excluded from this study but will be eligible for future pediatric trials, if applicable.
Performance status: ECOG performance status ≤2
Disqualifiers
Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents.
Patients with known distant metastases from GEA.
History of allergic reactions attributed to agents used in study.
Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
