  • Is this alternative chemotherapy option a better option in term of safety for this type of patients?
  • Does the combination of treatments improves the overall safety?
  • Does the combination of treatments improves the progression-free survival, overall survival, objective response rate and disease control rate?
  • Does the combination of treatment have an effect on quality of life?

Participants will:

  • Receive the trifluridine/tipiracil with oxaliplatin every 14 days, associated with:

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Treatment specific safety

    The percentage of patients without specific toxicities defined as grade 3-4-5 digestive toxicities (diarrhoea and/or stomatitis) and grade 4-5 neutropenia or febrile neutropenia over the first 2 cycles of first-line metastatic treatment.

    Toxicities will be graded using the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 (NCI-CTCAE v5), widely accepted in the community of oncology research as the leading rating scale for adverse events. This scale, divided into 5 grades (1 = "mild", 2 = "moderate", 3 = "severe", 4 = "life-threatening", and 5 = "death") determined by the investigator, will make it possible to assess the severity of the disorders.

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Overall Safety

    All types of toxicities occuring during the study. The National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 (NCI-CTCAE v5) is widely accepted in the community of oncology research as the leading rating scale for adverse events. This scale, divided into 5 grades (1 = "mild", 2 = "moderate", 3 = "severe", 4 = "life-threatening", and 5 = "death") determined by the investigator, will make it possible to assess the severity of the disorders.

    Measured: Throughout study completion, up to 2 years

  2. Compliance with study treatment

    Patients will record Trifluridine/tipiracil intake within a leaflet every day. Investigators will collect this data at every on site visit during the first 2 cycles (before Cycle 3).

    Measured: 1 month

  3. Progression Free Survival

    The progression-free survival is the length of time during and after the treatment of a disease that a patient lives with the disease but it does not get worse.

    Measured: From baseline until disease progression or death, up to 2 years

  4. Overall Survival

    The overall survival is the length of time from baseline that patients enrolled in the study are still alive.

    Measured: From baseline until disease progression or death, up to 2 years

  5. Objective response rate

    The objective response rate is defined as the percentage of patients with a complete response (CR) or a partial response (PR) for a given treatment.

    Measured: From baseline until disease progression, up to 2 years

  6. Disease control rate

    The disease control rate is defined as the percentage of patients with a CR, a PR or stable disease for a given treatment.

    Measured: From baseline until disease progression, up to 2 years

  7. Quality of life questionnaire - Core 30 (QLQ-C30)

    Developed by the EORTC, this self-reported questionnaire assesses the health-related quality of life of cancer patients in clinical trials.

    The questionnaire includes five functional scales (physical, everyday activity, cognitive, emotional, and social), three symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea and vomiting), a health/quality of life overall scale, and a number of additional elements assessing common symptoms (including dyspnea, loss of appetite, insomnia, constipation, and diarrhea), as well as, the perceived financial impact of the disease.

    All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. A high scale score represents a higher response level.

    Measured: At baseline, 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months

  8. Quality of life questionnaire - Oesophago-Gastric (QLQ-OG25)

    This EORTC oesophago-gastric cancer specific questionnaire is intended to supplement the QLQ-C30.

    The QLQ-OG25 contains 25 items organized into six scales: dysphagia (three items), eating restrictions (four items), reflux (two items), odynophagia (two items), pain and discomfort (two items) and anxiety (two items), and ten single items: eating in front of others, dry mouth, trouble with taste, body image, trouble swallowing saliva, choked when swallowing, trouble with coughing, trouble talking, weight loss and hair loss. All items are rated on a four-point Likert-type scale (1 = "not at all", 2 = "a little", 3 = "quite a bit", and 4 = "very much"), and are linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms.

    Measured: At baseline, 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months

  9. Quality of life questionnaire - Colorectal (QLQ-CR29)

    This EORTC colorectal cancer specific questionnaire is intended to supplement the QLQ-C30.

    The QLQ-CR29 has 5 functional and 18 symptom scales. It contains 29 items organized into four subscales: urinary frequency (two items), blood and mucus in stool (two items), stool frequency (two items), and body image (three items), and 19 single items (urinary incontinence, dysuria, abdominal pain, buttock pain, bloating, dry mouth, hair loss, taste, anxiety, weight, flatulence, fecal incontinence, sore skin, embarrassment, stoma care problems, sexual interest, impotence, sexual interest, and dyspareunia). All items are rated on a four-point Likert-type scale (1 = "not at all", 2 = "a little", 3 = "quite a bit", and 4 = "very much"), and are linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale. Higher scores represent better functioning on the functional scales and a higher level of symptoms on the symptom scales.

    Measured: At baseline, 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lonsurf, Oxaliplatin and Panitumumab in people with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer and Metastatic Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma, run by UNICANCER at 21 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 22 inclusion and 25 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Emilie BRUMENT (+33(0)6 68 32 03 59, e-brument@unicancer.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Treatment specific safety (time frame: 1 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Dec 2025.
