Cancer treatments induce symptoms/signs superimposing on individual patient's clinical status, determining heterogenous toxicity syndromes (TS). We reviewed intensive first line triplet chemotherapy-based regimens in metastatic gastro-intestinal cancers (mGI), based on FIr/FOx schedule, fluorouracil and weekly alternating irinotecan/oxaliplatin, to point out limiting TS (LTS) relevance. Metastatic colo-rectal (mCRC), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC), gastric carcinoma (mGC) patients were enrolled by careful decision-making including age, performance status (PS), and comorbidity status in real life phase II studies: FIr-B/FOx adding bevacizumab (B) overall, FIr-C/FOx-C adding cetuximab (C) in / wild-type mCRC; FIr/FOx in mPDAC; FD/FOx adding docetaxel (D) in mGC.

Background: Intensive triplet chemotherapy/bevacizumab significantly increased metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC) outcome. This phase II study investigated the safety/activity of FIr-C/FOx-C triplet/cetuximab (CET) in first-line wild-type and the prediction of individual limiting toxicity syndromes (LTS) by pharmacogenomic biomarkers.
Methods: A Simon two-step design was used: p0 70%, p1 85%, power 80%, α5%, β20%; projected objective response rate (ORR) I step 14/19.

Background: Gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel and FOLFIRINOX demonstrated significantly increased survival compared with gemcitabine in metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC): objective response rate (ORR) 23 and 31.6%, progression-free survival (PFS) 5.5 and 6.

To date, there is no consensus regarding first‑line chemotherapy for patients with HER2‑negative, locally advanced/metastatic gastric cancer (a/m GC). In the present study we reported a retrospective case‑series of patients treated with a weekly regimen containing timed‑flat infusion of 5‑fluorouracil (TFI/5‑FU), docetaxel and oxaliplatin. From June 2007 to July 2017, 32 consecutive a/m GC patients were treated with first‑line standard (st) or modulated (mod) 'FD/FOx' regimen: Weekly 12 h (from 10.

Introduction: Proper administration timing, dose-intensity, efficacy/toxicity ratio of triplet docetaxel (DTX), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and oxaliplatin (OXP) should be improved to safely perform three-drugs intensive first line in advanced gastric cancer (GC). This dose-finding study investigated recommended 5-FU and OXP doses, safety of triplet regimen and preliminary activity.
Methods: Schedule: 12h-timed-flat-infusion 5-FU 700-1000 mg/m/d 1-2, 8-9, 15-16, 22-23, with 100 mg/m/d increase for dose level; DTX 50 mg/m d 1, 15 fixed dose, OXP at three increasing dose-levels 60-70-80 mg/m d 8, 22, every 4 weeks.
