Inclusion Criteria

Histologically confirmed, medically operable, resectable diffuse or mixed type (according to Lauren’s classification) adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction (AEG II-III) or the stomach (uT3, uT4a, any N category, M0), or any T N+ M0 patient.

Patient able and willing to provide written informed consent and to comply with the study protocol and with the planned surgical procedures

Patient has received 3 to 6 cycles of neoadjuvant FLOT (de-escalation or dose modification allowed)

No preceding cytotoxic or targeted therapy other than neoadjuvant FLOT (including de-escalated or dose reduced schema) therapy

No prior partial or complete tumor resection

Female and male patient ≥ 18 and ≤ 75 years. Female patient with childbearing potential needs to have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days prior to study start. Males and females of reproductive potential must agree to practice highly effective contraceptive measures* during the study. Male patients must also agree to refrain from father a child during treatment and additionally to use a condom during treatment period. Their female partner of childbearing potential must also agree to use an adequate contraceptive measure. *highly effective (i.e. failure rate of <1% per year when used consistently and correctly) methods: intravaginal and transdermal combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception; injectable and implantable progestogen-only hormonal contraception; intrauterine device (IUD); intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS); bilateral tubal occlusion; vasectomised partner; sexual abstinence (complete abstinence is defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study treatments).

ECOG ≤ 1

Exclusion of distant metastases by CT or MRI of abdomen, pelvis, and thorax, bone scan or MRI (if bone metastases are suspected due to clinical signs). Exclusion of the infiltration of any adjacent organs or structures by CT or MRI

Laparoscopic exclusion of peritoneal carcinomatosis at initial staging, before start of FLOT chemotherapy

Hematological, hepatic and renal function parameters adequate to allow surgical procedure and HIPEC at investigator´s discretion.

Exclusion Criteria

Patient without neoadjuvant therapy or those who received a neoadjuvant therapy other than FLOT

Cirrhosis at a level of Child-Pugh B (or worse) or cirrhosis (any degree) and a history of hepatic encephalopathy or ascites.

On-treatment participation in another interventional clinical study in the period 30 days prior to inclusion and during the study.

Patient pregnant or breast feeding, or planning to become pregnant.

Patient in a closed institution according to an authority or court decision (AMG § 40, Abs. 1 No. 4)

Any other concurrent antineoplastic treatment including irradiation

Known intraabdominal adhesion situs

Pre-existing peritoneal seeding

Known hypersensitivity against 5-FU, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, or docetaxel

Other known contraindications against, 5-FU, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, or docetaxel

Clinically significant active coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy or congestive heart failure, NYHA III-IV

Clinically significant valvular defect

Past or current history of other malignancies not curatively treated and without evidence of disease for more than 3 years, except for curatively treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin and in situ carcinoma of the cervix.

Criteria of primary unresectability, e.g.: Radiologically documented evidence of major blood vessel invasion or invasion of adjacent organs (T4b). Patients with involved retroperitoneal (e.g. para-aortal, paracaval or interaortocaval lymph nodes) or mesenterial lymph nodes (distant metastases!).

Other severe internal disease or acute infection

Patient has undergone major surgery within 28 days prior to enrollment.

PFS/DFS, defined as the time from randomization to disease progression or relapse after surgery or death from any cause. If no event is observed PFS/DFS is censored at the time of last tumor assessment.

Quality of life (QoL) – EORTC QLQ C30 and EORTC QLQ STO22 questionnaire: The QoL analyses will include QoL mean values, QoL response and time to symptom deterioration (TTSD) defined as the time interval between randomization and the first decrease by ≥ 10-points. All randomly assigned patients with a baseline and at least one post-baseline assessment will be included in TTSD analyses. Patients without observed deterioration will be censored at the time of their last QoL assessment.

Post-operative Pain according to VAS (visual analog scale): The patient´s assessment of their current level of pain on a 100-mm horizontal VAS. The left-hand extreme of the line should be described as “no pain” and the right-hand as “unbearable pain”.
