Background: Standard first-line regimens for patients with metastatic gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas have an approximate 40% objective response rate (ORR). FOLFIRINOX has been used in first line therapy in other GI cancers (i.e pancreatic and CRC) with impressive efficacy signals. Methods: This is a phase II study of first line combination chemotherapy with fluorouracil (5-FU), irinotecan, and oxaliplatin in patients with advanced gastric, esophageal, or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (NCT01928290). Starting doses were 5-FU 400mg/m2 bolus followed by 2400 mg/m2 over 46 hours with leucovorin 400 mg/m2, irinotecan 180 mg/m2, and oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2. Trastuzumab was administered as 6 mg/kg loading dose then 4 mg/kg every 14 days if patients had HER2+ cancer. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), time to progression (TTP), clinical benefit rate (CBR), and duration of response. Enrollment of 41 patients with HER2- disease was planned to reach one-sided = 0.10 and power 0.90 with goal of detecting true ORR60%. No enrollment goal was planned for HER2+. Results: From Nov 2013 to July 2017, 58 patients were enrolled, 25 out of 58 (43%) had HER2+ disease. Forty-nine patients were evaluable for response as they completed at least one restaging scan. ORR was 78% (38/49) in all patients, 67% (18/27) in HER2-, 91% (20/22) in HER2+. One patient (2%) had complete response, 37 (76%) had partial response, 7 (14%) had stable disease > 6 months; therefore, CBR was 92%. Median PFS is 11.9 months, median OS is 17.4 months and median follow up time 16.1 months. 41 (83.7%) had dose modification or delay during treatment. There were no unexpected toxicities. Conclusions: FOLFIRINOX with or without trastuzumab showed remarkable ORR and PFS in patients with advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma in the first-line setting. This regimen may be a reasonable therapeutic option for patients with preserved performance status. Further investigation in larger population is warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT01928290
