Brief summary
This study will attempt to determine the feasibility of combination of Oxaliplatin, Irinotecan, and S-1, the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended doses of the agents used, and to preliminarily evaluate the antitumor activity in untreated patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer.
Detailed description
Oxaliplatin or irinotecan has shown a considerable anti-tumor activity, when used in combination with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancer. Oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and 5-FU have different mechanisms of actions and do not share the toxicity profiles. Since they have a synergistic effect, many clinical trials have been conducted recently to evaluate the efficacy of triplet combination consisting of oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and 5-FU, and demonstrated that the triple combination regimen was effective and resulted in survival benefits with favorable toxicity profiles. S-1 and capecitabine are novel oral fluoropyrimidines and different phase III trials have shown that these oral agents are at least as active and effective as 5-FU with a superior safety profile. Biweekly triple combination of S-1 with oxaliplatin and irinotecan (OIS) is an interesting alternative to increase convenience and to simply the treatment delivery. In the present study, we attempt to determine the feasibility of OIS combination, the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended doses of the agents used, and to preliminarily evaluate the antitumor activity in untreated patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer.
Interventions
Dose level 1 treatment will be delivered as a 2-week cycle as bellows; 1. Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m²IV on day 1 2. Irinotecan 120 mg/m² IV on day 1 3. S-1 60 mg/m2/day PO on day 1-7 Dose escalation will be continued until more than one-third of the patients in a given cohort show dose limiting toxicities (DLT) during treatment cycle 1. If at least 2 patients are observed to have DLT, this dose level is defined as the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). If exactly 1 of the 3 patients treated show DLT, 3 additional patients are treated at the current dose level.
