FOLFOX plus nivolumab has become the standard-of-care for first-line therapy of patients with oesophagogastric adenocarcinomas [1]. In this context, the phase 2 IKF-AIO-Moonlight trial (NCT03647969) investigated treatment regimens of dual checkpoint inhibition (FOLFOX + nivolumab/ipilimumab) and triplet chemotherapy (FLOT + nivolumab). Presenting the final results, Dr Sylvie Lorenzen (Rechts der Isar Hospital, Germany) concluded that: “The addition of nivolumab/ipilimumab to FOLFOX did not increase activity but did increase toxicity rates compared with FOLFOX monotherapy. FOLFOX plus nivolumab/ipilimumab administered in parallel was more effective than FOLFOX induction followed by nivolumab/ipilimumab. FLOT plus nivolumab was feasible and seemed to be associated with improved efficacy.”
