Summary
This is an open-label, Phase II, single-stage study evaluating the use of panitumumab,
paclitaxel, carboplatin and 5FU as an induction regimen in subjects with gastroesophageal
adenocarcinoma. The expectation is that this combination will both increase potential overall
survival by incorporating novel biologic therapy in the neoadjuvant setting and decrease
potential surgical mortality by eliminating pre-operative radiation therapy.
