The patients will be treated with one of the standard neoadjuvant protocols (FLOT or FOLFOX.) If no decline in ctDNA detected after 4 cycles, treatment will be switched to a different chemotherapy backbone (e.g. irinotecan based regimen, or taxane based if not used upfront).

ctDNA will be re-evaluated after 3 cycles (if a 21 day regimen) or 4 cycles (if a 14 day regimen) of the 2nd line regimen. If ctDNA is lower than the previous measurement, then the same regimen continues for 3-4 more cycles (depending on 14 day or 21 day cycle), followed by gastrectomy. Adjuvant treatment is given based on the investigator's discretion.

Blood will be collected for ctDNA testing

This is a phase 1b prospective, single arm, open-label trial determining the efficacy and feasibility of using a ctDNA assay (test) result to help guide neoadjuvant chemotherapy in subjects with Stage IB, II or Stage III adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction (GEA).

Percent of patients who will undergo attempt at curative intent resection.

Percent of patients completing gastrectomy

Percent of patients with ctDNA clearance after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and after surgery (within 6-8 weeks)

R0 resection is defined as complete tumor removal with negative surgical margins.

Toxicity and adverse events are based on the CTCAE (NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) Version 5.0.
