Toripalimab Combined With Chemotherapy as Neoadjuvant Treatment of Gastric Cancer

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2024-10-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies. According to the global cancer statistics 2018, there were 1,033,701 new cases of gastric cancer per year, ranked the fifth place in new tumors, and 782,685 deaths, ranked the second place in cancer deaths. At present, surgery is the only way to cure gastric cancer, but the 5-year survival rate is only 20%-30%. studies have confirmed that neoadjuvant therapy could improve the R0 resection rate and overall survival, which is considered a better treatment strategy.

PD 1 monoclonal antibody is definitely effective in neoadjuvant therapy in other tumors such as NSCLC and bladder cancer, especially in PD-L1+ patients. However, there is no research of PD-1 monoclonal antibody in neoadjuvant therapy of gastric cancer. Thus we plan to conduct this prospective phase II clinical trial, evaluating the safety and efficacy of toripalimab, also known as JS001, in combination with XELOX for the neoadjuvant therapy of gastric cancer.

14. Accompanied by systemic diseases which cannot meet the conditions of chemotherapy.

15. Pregnancy and lactating patients.

16. History of mental diseases.

18. Active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis.

19. History of gastrointestinal perforation and/or fistula in the past 6 months; history of intestinal obstruction (including incomplete intestinal obstruction which need for extraintestinal Nutritional); inflammatory bowel disease or extensive bowel resection(Partial colon resection or extensive small Intestinal resection complicated with chronic diarrhea);Crohn's disease; ulcerative colitis or chronic diarrhea.

20. History of interstitial pneumonia, drug-induced pneumonia, idiopathic pneumonia or active pneumonia.

21. Active tuberculosis (TB), undergoing anti-tuberculosis treatment or within 1 year before the first dose

22. has infected Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV1 / 2 antibody positive).

23. Has known active hepatitis B or hepatitis C. Acute or chronic active hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus infection, hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA > 2000 IU / ml or 10^4 copies / ml; Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA > 10^3 copies / ml ; hepatitis B surface antigen(HbsAg) and anti-HCV antibody is positive at the same time.

Have has known history of primary immunodeficiency. patients with positive autoimmune antibodies only will need to be confirmed the presence of autoimmune diseases according to the investigator's judgment.

30. Have uncontrolled metabolic disorders , other non-malignant tumors, systemic diseases or secondary reactions originated from the cancer which may lead to higher medical risks and/or the uncertainty of survival evaluation.

31. patients with other acute or chronic diseases, psychiatric disorders, or abnormal laboratory tests that may lead to the increasing risk of participating the research and drug administration, or interference results Interpretation, whom may be excluded from the study according to the investigator's judgment.
