Safety of Trifluridine/tipiracil in patients with dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency diagnosed with metastatic colorectal or gastroesophageal cancer

Phase 2

Recruiting

• Conditions: Patients with pMMR/MSS metastatic adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum or gastroesophageal cancer (lower esophagus, gastroesophageal junction and gastric) and with known dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency defined as plasma uracil concentration ≥16 ng/ml, who undergo first-line treatment

• Registration Number: 2023-508724-35-00
• Lead Sponsor: Unicancer

Brief Summary

To evaluate the specific safety and preliminary efficacy of an alternative chemotherapy option, namely Trifluridine/tipiracil, as replacement of 5FU- or capecitabine-based chemotherapy in pMMR/MSS metastatic colorectal or metastatic gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas first line regimens for patients with partial or complete DPD deficiency.
