United States36 participantsStarted 2025-06-30
Plain-language summary
The study regimen will be administered on an outpatient basis and all medications are administered intravenously (IV). Subjects will receive treatment on Day 1 and Day 15 of each 28-day cycle consisting of the following: nanoliposomal irinotecan at 50 mg/m2, followed by oxaliplatin 60 mg/m2, followed by leucovorin at 400 mg/m2 30 minutes after completion of oxaliplatin, followed by 5-FU 2400 mg/m2 60 minutes after leucovorin completion. Subjects will receive up to 6 cycles of NALIRIFOX then based on response and per physician discretion, de-escalated maintenance treatment with NALIRIFOX minus oxaliplatin may continue. Subjects will continue de-escalated maintenance treatment until progression per RECIST 1.1, intolerable toxicity or physician/subject choice to discontinue.

Inclusion criteria
. Subject has been informed about the nature of the study, and has agreed to participate in the study, and signed the ICF prior to participation in any study-related activities. Also, as determined by the enrolling physician or protocol designee, ability of the subject to understand and comply with study procedures for the entire length of the study.
. Age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent.
. ECOG Performance Status of ≤ 1 within 28 days prior to registration.
. Histological or cytologically confirmed small bowel adenocarcinoma per AJCC staging manual, 8th edition that has not been previously treated in the metastatic setting. Subjects treated in the adjuvant setting who completed treatment \> 6 months prior to registration and do not have residual toxicities \> Grade 1 are eligible. NOTE: Subjects with only localized disease or disease which will likely become resectable after chemotherapy (per investigator discretion) are NOT eligible.
. Mismatch repair proficient (MMRp) and/or microsatellite stable (MSS) disease per institutional standard of care testing.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
. Subject has one or more metastatic lesion(s) measurable by CT scan (or MRI, if the subject is allergic to CT contrast media) according to RECIST Version 1.1 criteria. Lesions in a prior radiation field must have progressed subsequent to radiotherapy to be considered measurable.
. Demonstrate adequate organ function as defined below. All screening labs to be obtained within 28 days prior to registration.
. Electrocardiogram (ECG) without any clinically significant findings (QT interval corrected by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) ≤450 msec and no known arrhythmias) and per the investigator's assessment.
Exclusion criteria
. Adenocarcinoma originating in the ampulla or appendix (duodenal tumors that involve the ampulla but originate in the duodenum are eligible).
. Neuroendocrine or any other histology different than adenocarcinoma.
. Prior treatment with irinotecan.
. Prior treatment of small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) in the metastatic setting with surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or investigational therapy:
. Known history of central nervous system (CNS) metastases. (subjects on a stable or decreasing dose of steroids and deemed clinically stable as per the investigator's assessment are eligible).
. Pregnant or breastfeeding. NOTE: breast milk cannot be stored for future use while the mother is being treated on study.
. Subjects with an active malignancy in the last 2 years. The following subjects may be eligible: Subjects with prior history of in-situ cancer or basal or squamous cell skin cancer. Subjects with a history of other malignancies but have been continuously disease free for at least 2 years without treatment prior to registration.
