Overview

To observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of adebrelimab combination chemotherapy regimen in the perioperative treatment of surgically resectable gastric cancer/adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction.

Description

Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the world and ranks fourth in mortality. Radical surgery is the main treatment for resectable gastric cancer. For patients with progressive gastric cancer, especially those with stage IIIB and IIIC, their 5-year overall survival (OS) rate after radical surgery is still difficult to exceed 50%. Although D2 radical surgery and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy have significantly improved the prognosis of patients with progressive gastric cancer, the recurrence rate is still as high as 50%~80%. Several therapeutic approaches have been established to reduce the risk of recurrence and improve long-term survival, including perioperative chemotherapy, adjuvant chemotherapy, and adjuvant radiotherapy. The effect of adding targeted therapies and/or immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) to neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapies is currently being studied. While multiple programmed death 1 (PD-1) inhibitors have been approved for first/third line treatment of unresectable/metastatic gastric cancer. However, the role of immune checkpoint inhibitors in resectable gastric cancer remains unclear and is being investigated in various clinical trials.

We conducted this study with 8 cycles of perioperative treatment with adebrelimab in combination with XELOX chemotherapy regimen and adebelizumab maintenance therapy up to 1 year. To observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of adebrelimab combination chemotherapy regimen in the perioperative treatment of surgically resectable gastric cancer/adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction.

Use of immunosuppressive drugs within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment, excluding topical glucocorticosteroids by nasal, inhalational, or other routes or physiologic doses of systemic glucocorticosteroids (i.e., no more than 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent doses of other glucocorticosteroids), or use of hormones for the prevention of contrast allergy
  13. known history of allogeneic organ transplantation and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
  14. current concomitant interstitial pneumonitis or interstitial lung disease, or a prior history of interstitial pneumonitis or interstitial lung disease requiring hormonal therapy, or other conditions that may interfere with the determination and management of immune-related pulmonary toxicity such as pulmonary fibrosis, mechanized pneumonitis (e.g., occlusive bronchiectasis), pneumonias, drug-associated pneumonias, idiopathic pneumonias, or active pneumonitis as seen on screening chest computed tomography (CT) maps Evidence of or severely impaired lung function in subjects with a history of radiation pneumonitis in the permitted radiation field, active tuberculosis
  15. presence of active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease with potential for relapse (including, but not limited to: autoimmune hepatitis, interstitial pneumonitis, uveitis, enteritis, pituitary gland inflammation, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism [subjects who can be controlled by hormone replacement therapy only are eligible for enrollment]); subjects with a dermatological condition that does not require systemic treatment such as vitiligo psoriasis, alopecia areata, controlled type I diabetes mellitus treated with insulin or asthma that has completely resolved in childhood and does not require any intervention in adulthood may be included; asthmatics requiring medical intervention with bronchodilators may not be included
  16. Immunosuppressive or systemic hormone therapy for immunosuppression within 14 days prior to initiation of study treatment (doses >10 mg/day of prednisone or other equipotent hormone)
  17. severe infection within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment, including, but not limited to, hospitalization for complications of infection, bacteremia, or severe pneumonia; therapeutic antibiotics given orally or intravenously within 2 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment (patients receiving prophylactic antibiotics (e.g., for prevention of urinary tract infection or exacerbation of COPD are eligible for study participation))
  18. Patients with congenital or acquired immune deficiency (e.g., HIV-infected)
