What the film says

Read the transcript

This trial is for adults with unresectable or metastatic HER2-negative stomach, gastroesophageal-junction or esophageal adenocarcinoma. Previous metastatic treatment is restricted, although up to two mFOLFOX6 cycles can qualify.

The idea: alternate four-week blocks of FOLFOX and FOLFIRI chemotherapy. Oxaliplatin damages DNA; irinotecan disrupts DNA copying. Treatment starts on days one and fifteen of each block. Nivolumab is optional under its approved-use rules, not required for everyone. Researchers measure responses, survival and side effects without a comparison group.

This phase 2 study plans 38 patients. Rutgers' Patrick Boland leads six recruiting New Jersey sites.
