Inclusion criteria

• Histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma, gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder adenocarcinoma, ampullary carcinoma, adenocarcinoma of unclear primary (with upper GI primary suspected), or other primary GI malignancy for which the treating physician feels that I-FLOAT is a reasonable therapeutic option.

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =1
• Life expectancy > 3 months
• Adequate organ function, as defined by each of the following:

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) = 1500/uL Hemoglobin > 9g/dL (transfusion permitted with stability for > 1 week) Platelets > 100,000/uL Total bilirubin = 1.5 mg/dL AST and ALT = 2.5 X upper limit of normal; alkaline phosphatase = 2.5 X upper limit of normal, unless bone metastasis is present in the absence of liver metastasis.

AST and ALT = 5 X upper limit of normal if hepatic metastases are present. Creatinine = 1.5 mg/dL

• Measurable or non-measurable disease will be allowed.
• Women of childbearing potential and sexually active males must use an effective contraception method during treatment and for three months after completing treatment.
• Negative serum or urine B-hCG pregnancy test at screening for patients of childbearing potential
• Patients taking substrates, inhibitors, or inducers of CYP3A4 should be encouraged to switch to alternative drugs whenever possible, given the potential for drug-drug interactions with irinotecan.
