TRIFLUOX-DP: Safety of Trifluridine/Tipiracil as Replacement of Fluoropyrimidines (5-fluorouracil and Capecitabine) Based Chemotherapy as First Line Metastatic Colorectal or Gastroesophageal Cancer Regimens in Patients With Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase Deficiency: a Phase II Trial

Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety of the trifluridine/tipiracil as replacement of fluoropyrimidines based chemotherapy as first line metastatic colorectal or gastroesophageal cancer regimens in patients with dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Is this alternative chemotherapy option a better option in term of safety for this type of patients?
- Does the combination of treatments improves the overall safety?
- Does the combination of treatments improves the progression-free survival, overall survival, objective response rate and disease control rate?
- Does the combination of treatment have an effect on quality of life? Participants will:
- Receive the trifluridine/tipiracil with oxaliplatin every 14 days, associated with:
- Panitumumab or bevacizumab for colorectal adenocarcinomas
- Nivolumab or trastuzumab for gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas.
- Have a CT-Scan every 2 months until disease progression
- Complete Health-related quality of life questionnaire every 2 months for a maximum of 6 months
- Participate to the optional translational research: Blood samples fo DPYD genotyping and pharmacokinetic analysis

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Treatment specific safety
The percentage of patients without specific toxicities defined as grade 3-4-5 digestive toxicities (diarrhoea and/or stomatitis) and grade 4-5 neutropenia or febrile neutropenia over the first 2 cycles of first-line metastatic treatment. Toxicities will be graded using the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 (NCI-CTCAE v5), widely accepted in the community of oncology research as the leading rating scale for adverse events. This scale, divided into 5 grades (1 = "mild", 2 = "moderate", 3 = "severe", 4 = "life-threatening", and 5 = "death") determined by the investigator, will make it possible to assess the severity of the disorders.

Study Arms (2)
Colorectal adenocarcinoma
OTHERTrifluridine/tipiracil in association with oxaliplatin with or without: * Panitumumab in RAS wild type tumors * Bevacizumab in RAS wild type of right colon or RAS mutated tumors
Gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma
OTHERTrifluridine/tipiracil in association with oxaliplatin with or without: * Trastuzumab in HER2-positive tumors (3+ IHC or 2+/FISH+) * Nivolumab if CPS≥5 and HER2-negative tumors
Interventions

Oxaliplatin intravenous injection 85 mg/m² every 2 weeks (D1=D15)
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patient must have signed and dated a written informed consent form prior to any trial specific procedures. When the patient is physically unable to give their written consent, a trusted person of their choice, independent from the investigator or the sponsor, can confirm in writing the patient's consent.
- Histological or cytological documentation of adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum or gastroesophageal cancer (lower oesophagus, gastroesophageal junction and gastric)
- Synchronous or metachronous metastatic colorectal or gastroesophageal cancer
- Presence of at least one measurable lesion according to RECIST v1.1
- No prior therapy for metastatic disease
- known DPD deficiency defined as plasma uracil concentration≥16 ng/ml For plasma uracil concentration \[16-20\[ ng/ml, plasma uracil dosage must be repeated in the 7 days to confirm that plasma uracil concentration ≥16 ng/ml. If the second result is different (i.e; uracil concentration \<16 ng/ml), keep the favourable result, and do not include the patient if only the first plasma uracil concentration≥16 ng/ml.
- Age ≥18 years
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤1
- Adequate bone marrow, renal and liver functions as evidenced by the following laboratory requirements within 7 days prior to study treatment initiation:
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/ mm³ without biologic response modifiers such as granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), within 21 days before the start of study treatment
- Platelet count ≥100,000/mm³, without platelet transfusion within 21 days before the start of study treatment
- Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥9 g/dL, without blood transfusion or erythropoietin within 21 days before the start of study treatment
- Serum creatinine ≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Glomerular filtration rate as assessed by the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥50 mL/min per 1.73 m² calculated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) abbreviated formula
- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN
- +7 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Radiotherapy within 28 days prior to first dose of treatment
- Active cardiac disease including any of the following:
- Symptomatic Congestive heart failure ≥New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 3 or 4
- Severe Unstable angina (angina symptoms at rest)
- Myocardial infarction less than 12 months before first dose of treatment
- Uncontrolled hypertension (Systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg or diastolic pressure ≥ 90 mmHg) despite optimal medical management.
- Ongoing infection ≥Grade 2 (NCI CTCAE v.5.0)
- Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
- Chronic hepatitis B or C infection (if hepatitis status cannot be obtained from medical records, re-testing is required)
- Seizure disorder requiring medication
- Symptomatic metastatic brain or meningeal tumours
- History of organ allograft
- Known hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs, study drug classes, or any constituent of the products
- In case of planned treatment with oxaliplatin: Peripheral neuropathy \>Grade 1 (NCI CTCAE v.5.0)
- In case of planned treatment with bevacizumab: Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to first dose of treatment
- +8 more criteria
