Brief Title: Apatinib Plus Sintilimab in Advanced Gastric Cancer Refractory to at Least Two Previous Chemotherapy Regimens
Official Title: Apatinib Plus Sintilimab in Patients With Advanced Gastric Cancer
Study ID: NCT04089657
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Apatinib combined with PD-1 antibody Sintilimab for for Chemotherapy-Refractory Advanced Metastatic Gastric Cancer
Detailed Description: Patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) can be treated with multiple lines of chemotherapy. After second-line treatment some patients may receive third- and subsequent lines of chemotherapy if their performance status is well-preserved and they are willing to receive subsequent active treatments. Apatinib is a small-molecule VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved by the CFDA for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer. In a phase III trial, apatinib significantly improved PFS and OS compared with placebo, but the clinical benefit was modest. As a result of toxicity, 850 mg/day Apatinib may cause dose reduction and delay in some patients ,which also caused some doubts. Therefore, it is a reasonable treatment strategy by reducing the dose and combining it with another low-toxic drug to achieve similar or better effects. Some studies have shown that the combination of targeted therapy and immunotherapy may be effective in solid tumor. Sintilimab (IBI308) is a monoclonal antibody targeting programmed death-1 (PD-1). So, the investigators designed an open-label, single-arm, phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib combined with Sintilimab in Chemotherapy-Refractory Advanced Metastatic Gastric Cancer.
