Brief summary public domain (ClinicalTrials.gov)

This is a randomized, open label, single-center, phase 2, randomized controlled trial of sequential cytoreductive intervention versus standard of care therapy for patients with intervenable oligometastatic (stage IV) cancer of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract and undetectable ctDNA at the time of randomization after a three-month induction chemotherapy period.

Detailed description public domain (ClinicalTrials.gov)

Patients with oligometastatic foregut (esophagus, gastric, biliary, liver and pancreatic ) cancers derive benefit from surgical resection/ablation or radiation in selected patients. ctDNA is a liquid biopsy technique that has prognostic value in identifying patients that benefit from loco regional interventions (surgery/radiation/ablation). The primary objective of this study is to assess the Progression Free Survival (PFS) of patients with the addition of sequential cytoreductive intervention versus standard of care systemic therapy in patients with metastatic foregut adenocarcinoma and undetectable ctDNA after induction chemotherapy.
