Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
I. To determine if the addition of GDC-0449 (vismodegib) to FOLFOX (fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, oxaliplatin) chemotherapy improves median progression free survival (PFS) in the first line treatment of patients with advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine if the addition of GDC-0449 to FOLFOX chemotherapy affects overall survival.
II. To determine if the addition of GDC-0449 to FOLFOX chemotherapy affects response rate.
III. To determine if the addition of GDC-0449 to FOLFOX chemotherapy affects toxicity rates in the first line treatment of patients with advanced gastric and GEJ adenocarcinoma.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the level of baseline hedgehog pathway activation and correlate with clinical outcome and response to treatment with GDC-0449.
II. In those patients who consent to repeat biopsy at week 4-5, hedgehog pathway expression will again be assessed (every attempt will be made to obtain repeat biopsy from the same site as the initial biopsy) and compared to baseline values and clinical outcome.
III. To determine a primary gastric cancer gene expression profile that may predict response to GDC-0449.
IV. To determine if serum shed collagen epitopes correlate with clinical outcome and may be used to assess efficacy of GDC-0449 treatment.
V. To determine if circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPC)'s correlate with treatment response and may be used to assess efficacy of GDC-0449 treatment.
VI. To determine if hedgehog pathway expression is downregulated in EPC's following treatment with GDC-0449.
VII. To determine if serum expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP) 3 correlate with clinical outcome and may be used to assess efficacy of GDC-0449 treatment.
VIII. To determine if human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2) expression is predictive in assessing the efficacy of GDC-0449 treatment. Of note, Her2 status will be collected retrospectively for those patients who were tested as part of standard of care established in October 2010.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM I: Patients receive FOLFOX chemotherapy comprising oxaliplatin intravenously (IV) over 2 hours, leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours, and fluorouracil IV over 46-48 hours on day 1. Patients also receive placebo orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-14.
ARM II: Patients receive FOLFOX chemotherapy as in Arm I. Patients also receive vismodegib PO on days 1-14. In both arms, treatment repeats every 2 weeks in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as \>= 20 mm with conventional techniques or as \>= 10 mm with spiral computed tomography (CT) scan
* No prior chemotherapy for advanced disease; patients may have receive adjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiation if \> 6 months has elapsed since completion of treatment
* Life expectancy of greater than 3 months
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status \< 2 (Karnofsky \> 70%)
* Absolute neutrophil count \>= 1,500/mcL
* Platelets \>= 100,000/mcL
* Total bilirubin =\< 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
* Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) =\< 2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal (=\< 5.0 X institutional upper limit of normal with presence of liver metastases)
* Creatinine =\< 1.5 X institutional upper limit of normal OR creatinine clearance \>= 60 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal
* Baseline imaging studies performed =\< 28 days of study registration; the treating investigator will determine the appropriate imaging studies, which may include CT scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and/or fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)/CT
* Must be willing to provide blood and tissue samples for research purposes; patient has the right to later withdraw consent for research studies and/or tissue specimens
* Patients must agree to placement of a central venous catheter for chemotherapy administration
* Patients must be able to swallow whole capsules
* Patients taking medications with narrow therapeutic indices that are metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP450), including warfarin sodium (Coumadin), must be on a stable, therapeutic dose and have close monitoring of their levels
