Abstract: Given the poor treatment outcomes of disseminated gastric cancer (dGC), the search for new drug treatment options remains a pressing issue. According to some literature, the use of a chemotherapeutic triplet in the first line improves patient survival rates. An interim analysis of a prospective randomised phase III trial examines the comparison of the chemotherapeutic regimens mFOLFIRINOX and mFOLFOX6 in the first-line treatment of HER2-negative gastric adenocarcinoma. In this interim analysis, significant differences between patients receiving mFOLFIRINOX or mFOLFOX6 regarding the primary endpoint of mVBP were detected only in the group of patients with dissemination to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Overall, based on the results of this work, it can be concluded that the majority of patients do not require intensification of first-line treatment for gastric adenocarcinoma in the form of mFOLFIRINOX chemotherapy. However, final conclusions on the efficacy of the triple combination can only be drawn upon completion of the entire study.
