Study Arms (2)
Treatment arm A: mFOLFIRINOX every two weeks
OTHER* oxaliplatin 85 mg/m² 2 hours intravenously * irinotecan 150 mg/m² 60-90 minutes intravenously * leucovorin 400 mg/m² 2 hours intravenously * 5-fluorouracil 2400 mg/m² 46 hours continuous intravenous infusion
Treatment arm B: FOLFOX every two weeks
OTHER* oxaliplatin 85 mg/m² 2 hours intravenously * leucovorin 400 mg/m² 2 hours intravenously * 5-fluorouracil 400 mg/m² intravenous bolus injection * 5-fluorouracil 2400 mg/m² 46 hours continuous intravenous infusion
Interventions
Systemic treatment in both arms will be continued until disease progression, occurence of unacceptable toxicity, at the patient's request, at discretion of the investigator, whatever occurs first.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients are eligible to be included in the trial only if all of the following criteria apply at time of enrollment:
- Patient's signed informed consent.
- Patient's age ≥18 years at the time of signing the informed consent.
- Histologically confirmed small bowel adenocarcinoma.
- Microsatellite stable tumor or proficient mismatch repair status of the SBA (immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction are both allowed for characterization)
- Predicted locally advanced irresectable by the local study team or presenting with distant metastases.
- Patient did not receive antitumor treatment for locally advanced irresetable or metastatic disease.
- Measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1.
- ECOG performance status 0-2. In case of patient's age \>70 years, ECOG has to be 0 or 1 at randomization
- Adequate bone marrow, hepatic and renal organ function, defined by the following laboratory test results:
- Absolute neutrophil count 1.5 x 109/L (1500/µL)
- Hemoglobin ≥ 80 g/L (8 g/dL) with or without blood transfusion
- Platelet count ≥ 100 x109/L (100000/µL) without transfusion
- Total serum bilirubin of ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST/GOT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT/GPT) ≤ 2.5 × ULN; if liver function abnormalities are due to underlying liver metastasis, AST and ALT ≤ 5 × ULN
- +10 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Patients are excluded from this trial if any of the following criteria apply at time of enrollment:
- Adenocarcinoma of the ampulla of Vateri
- Ileus or directly imminent ileus as assessed by the local study team. Patients with treated and resolved ileus are allowed into the trial.
- Previous chemotherapy for metastatic or irresectable disease.
- New York Heart Association Class III or greater heart failure by clinical judgement.
- Myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to randomization; percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) with or without stenting within 6 months prior to randomization.
- Unstable angina pectoris.
- Unstable cardiac arrhythmia \>grade 2 NCI CTCAE despite anti-arrhythmic therapy.
- Ongoing toxicities \>grade 2 NCI CTCAE, in particular peripheral neuropathy.
- Active uncontrolled infection by investigator's perspective.
- Severe chronic non-healing wounds, ulcerous lesions or untreated bone fracture.
- Known hypersensitivity to 5-FU, leucovorin, capecitabine, irinotecan or oxaliplatin or to any of the other excipients listed in section 6.1 of the corresponding SmPC.
- Recent or concomitant treatment with brivudine.
- Peripheral sensitive neuropathy with functional impairment (\> grade 1 acc. to CTCAE version 6.0 (see appendix 2)).
- Simultaneous application of Johannis herbs preparations.
- +10 more criteria
