Sunitinib, Irinotecan, Fluorouracil, and Leucovorin In Treating Patients With Advanced Stomach Cancer or Gastroesophageal Cancer

Stopped early · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Esophageal Cancer, Gastric Cancer

In brief

RATIONALE: Sunitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, fluorouracil, and leucovorin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving sunitinib together with combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of sunitinib when given together with irinotecan, fluorouracil, and leucovorin in treating patients with advanced stomach cancer or gastroesophageal cancer.
