About this trial

This is a single centre randomised controlled trial, comparing perioperative FLOT versus adjuvant XELOX for locally advanced gastric and esophagogastric junction cancers. Patients with operable clinical T3 or above and N1 or above gastric and esophagastric junction cancer would be recruited. Participants would be randomised to perioperative FLOT versus adjuvant XELOX with curative radical gastrectomy. Primary outcome would be 3 year Disease Free Survival. It was calculated that 110 patients would be required to demonstrate the study hypothesis.
