Modified Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin (mCAPOX) for Patients With GI Malignancies

This study is a single arm, non-randomized feasibility study with tolerability and toxicity evaluation as primary endpoints which seeks to determine if a modified administration schedule of capecitabine with oxaliplatin will result in less toxicity than standard FOLFOX or CAPOX regimens.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patient with GI malignancy
• Provider plans non-curative intent treatment with either CAPOX or FOLFOX (mFOLFOX6) at standard dosages for >3 months NOTE: Patient is not required to have radiologically measurable disease. NOTE: Planned administration of other anti-cancer medications (eg bevacizumab, epidermal growth factor receptor antibodies, immunotherapy, tyrosine kinase inhibitors) is allowed.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients not meeting standard hematologic parameters for chemotherapy administration as follows:

  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500
  • Platelet count ≥ 100,000 Patients not meeting standard liver function parameters for chemotherapy administration as follows:
  • AST ≤ 5x ULN
  • ALT ≤ 5X ULN
  • Total Bilirubin ≤ 1.5X ULN Patients not meeting standard renal function parameters for chemotherapy administration as follows:
  • Serum Creatinine ≤ 1.2 or creatinine clearance ≥ 30 ml/min NOTE: Planned administration of another cytotoxic chemotherapy (eg irinotecan) is an exclusion.
