This phase II trial studies how well fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and liposomal irinotecan work alone or with trastuzumab, nivolumab, and pembrolizumab in treating patients with esophageal or gastric adenocarcinoma that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and liposomal irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Trastuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches itself to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as HER2 receptors. When trastuzumab attaches to HER2 receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the tumor cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Treatment with nivolumab works best if tumors have PD-L1 protein in at least 5% of the cells. Giving the combination of fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, liposomal irinotecan, and trastuzumab with or without nivolumab and pembrolizumab based on HER2 status and PD-L1 level, may work as a first line treatment for esophageal or gastric adenocarcinoma.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate, preliminarily, efficacy of the studied drug combination. (Cohorts 1 and 3, HER2-Negative Esophageal and Gastric Adenocarcinoma [EGA])
II. To evaluate safety and tolerability of the studied drug combination. (Cohorts 2 and 4, HER2-Positive EGA)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To obtain further efficacy and safety information of the studied drug combination. (Cohorts 1 and 3, HER2-Negative EGA)
II. To obtain efficacy information of the studied drug combination. (Cohorts 2 and 4, HER2-Positive EGA)
CORRELATIVE/EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. Collect archival tissue for future studies.
II. Bank blood samples during treatment continuum for future studies that will include, but are not limited to, circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and circulating immune markers.
OUTLINE: Patients with HER2-negative tumors and PD-L1 level < 5, or are unable to receive immunotherapy are assigned to Cohort 1. Patients with HER2-positive tumors or are unable to receive immunotherapy are assigned to Cohort 2. All other patients with HER2-negative tumors and PD-L1 level ≥ 5 are assigned to Cohort 3. All other patients with HER2-positive tumors are assigned to Cohort 4.
COHORT 1: Patients receive irinotecan sucrosofate (liposomal irinotecan [Nal-IRI]) intravenously (IV) over 90 minutes, oxaliplatin IV, and fluorouracil (5-FU) IV over 46 hours on days 1 and 15. Patients may also receive nivolumab IV over 30-60 minutes on days 1 and 15 of each cycle per discretion of the treating physician. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo echocardiography, computed tomography (CT) scan and blood sample collection and may undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) throughout the study.
COHORT 2: Patients receive liposomal irinotecan IV over 90 minutes, oxaliplatin IV, 5-FU IV over 46 hours, and trastuzumab or trastuzumab biosimilar on days 1 and 15. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo echocardiography, CT scan and blood sample collection and may undergo MRI throughout the study.
COHORT 3: Patients receive liposomal irinotecan IV over 90 minutes, oxaliplatin IV, 5-FU IV over 46 hours, and nivolumab IV over 30-60 minutes on days 1 and 15 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo echocardiography, CT scan and blood sample collection and may undergo MRI throughout the study.
COHORT 4: Patients receive liposomal irinotecan IV over 90 minutes, oxaliplatin IV, 5-FU IV over 46 hours, and trastuzumab or trastuzumab biosimilar on days 1, 15, and 29 of each cycle. Patients also receive pembrolizumab IV on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 42 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo echocardiography, CT scan and blood sample collection and may undergo MRI throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, then every 4 months for 2 years.
