Clinical Trial Summary

In this clinical trial, patients with gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma will be included. Treatment with curative intent will be given with chemotherapy for 4 cycles with fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and irinotecan preoperatively followed by surgery, and then additionally 4 cycles of the same chemotherapy postoperatively. The standard treatment today is preoperative treatment with fluorouracil and oxaliplatin pre-and postoperatively. The rationale for this trial is, that the addition of irinotecan might improve treatments results.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	To determine the rate of histopathological response according to Becker criteria.	Assessment of histopathological response, ypTNM, resection margin and residual tumor status. If Laurén classification and mismatch repair (MMR) or microsatelite instability status (MSI) could not be assessed on pretreatment biopsies it should be assessed on the resected specimen. Results do not have to be awaited before start of chemotherapy.	After surgery.
