Overview

Gemcitabine + cisplatin + 5-fluorouracil + folinic acid is an investigational combination chemotherapy regimen evaluated by the German CONKO-Studiengruppe, specifically in the CONKO-101 Phase 2 clinical trial. This regimen was developed for the treatment of patients with inoperable esophageal cancer, including both squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. The combination leverages multiple mechanisms: gemcitabine acts as a nucleoside analog that inhibits DNA synthesis and ribonucleotide reductase; cisplatin is a platinum-based agent that induces DNA cross-linking; 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is a pyrimidine analog that inhibits thymidylate synthase; and folinic acid is used as a biochemical modulator to enhance the binding and efficacy of 5-FU. The trial aimed to achieve a freedom of progression rate of over 60% in this patient population.
