Study Summary
This trial is studying the best dose and how well trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride combination agent TAS-102 (TAS-102) and nanoliposomal irinotecan work in treating patients with gastrointestinal cancers that have spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced gastrointestinal cancers that are metastatic or can't be surgically removed. Participants must have tried at least one prior therapy, have measurable disease per RECIST 1.1, and adequate organ function. They should not have had irinotecan before (for certain phases), no recent severe heart issues or infections, and cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the combination of TAS-102 (trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride) and nanoliposomal irinotecan to find the best dose and see how well it works against various gastrointestinal cancers by stopping tumor growth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical chemotherapy-related reactions such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, decreased appetite, neutropenia (low white blood cell count), which increases infection risk; anemia (low red blood cell count); thrombocytopenia (low platelet count); liver enzyme elevation; and allergic reactions.
