Compares treatment options for Advanced Esophageal Adenocarcinoma
Official title mFOLFIRINOX Versus mFOLFOX With or Without Nivolumab for the Treatment of Advanced, Unresectable, or Metastatic HER2 Negative Esophageal, Gastroesophageal Junction, and Gastric Adenocarcinoma
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05677490
What this study is testing
What is Fluorouracil?
Fluorouracil is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma.
Also referred to as 2,4-Dioxo-5-fluoropyrimidine, 5 Fluorouracil.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This phase III trial compares the effect of modified fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (mFOLFIRINOX) to modified fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX) for the treatment of advanced, unresectable, or metastatic HER2 negative esophageal, gastroesophageal junction, and gastric adenocarcinoma. The usual approach for patients is treatment with FOLFOX chemotherapy.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
