A Phase 1 Dose Finding Study of the gFOLFOXIRITAX Regimen Using UGT1A1 Genotype-directed Irinotecan With Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, Oxaliplatin and Taxotere in Patients With Untreated Advanced Upper Gastrointestinal Adenocarcinomas: The I-FLOAT Study
Summary
The purpose of the proposed study is to establish the safety of combining irinotecan chemotherapy with 5-FU, leucovorin/folinic acid, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel (abbreviated as the I-FLOAT study of gFOLFOXIRITAX) chemotherapies (leucovorin/folinic acid is a vitamin to make 5-FU work well).
Arms & interventions
- DrugOxaliplatin
Oxaliplatin will be administered on day 1 of each cycle at 85mg/kg. The drugs will be given through the patient's Mediport. It will be given once every 14 days (2 weeks), on days 1 and will be continued for 8 doses (4 months)
- DrugDocetaxel
Docetaxel will be administered on day 1 of each cycle at 25mg at dose level 1; 37.5 at dose level 2. The drugs will be given through the patient's Mediport.It will be given once every 14 days (2 weeks), on days 1 and will be continued for 8 doses (4 months)
- DrugLeucovorin
Leucovorin will be administered on day 1 of each cycle at 400mg/kg. The drugs will be given through the patient's Mediport. It will be given once every 14 days (2 weeks), on days 1 and will be continued for 8 doses (4 months)
- DrugIrinotecan
Irinotecan will be administered on day 1 of each cycle at 120mg/m2 for low risk group, 105mg/m2 for intermediate risk group, 45mg/m2 for high risk group . The drugs will be given through the patient's Mediport. It will be given once every 14 days (2 weeks), on days 1 and will be continued for 8 doses (4 months)
- Drug5-Fluorouracil
5-FU is given as a continuous intravenous infusion over 2 days. Patient can receive the 2-day infusion as an outpatient. On day 3 of each cycle, the patient will return to the infusion center to have the infusion hook-up disconnected.
