Brief Title: Efficacy of Perioperative Chemotherapy Plus PD-1 Antibody in the Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer
Official Title: Perioperative Chemotherapy Plus PD-1 Antibody Compared With Perioperative Chemotherapy in the Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer: a Open-label, Phase 2 Randomised Controlled Trial
Study ID: NCT04250948
Brief Summary: For locally advanced gastric cancer (cT3-4aN+M0), neoadjuvant chemotherapy can downstage T and N stage, increase the resectability of tumor, and finally improve the long-term survival. Combination of perioperative PD-1 antibody and chemotherapy for locally advanced gastric cancer could be a novel therapy to increase response rate and resectability and reduce recurrence rate. JS001 in this study is a Chinese anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody for injection which has been approved for melanoma. This study is a multi-center, open-label, randomized phase II clinical trial to evaluate tolerability, safety and efficacy of JS001 in combination with perioperative chemotherapy in locally advanced gastric cancer.
Detailed Description: Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies in China with incidence and mortality both ranking the 2nd among malignancies in China. Surgery is the only possible way to cure gastric cancer, however, over 80-90% of gastric cancer patients in China are in advanced stage. Locally advanced gastric cancer (cT3-4aN+M0) could be cured by multi-disciplinary therapies including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy can downstage T and N stage, increase the resectability of tumor, and finally improve the long-term survival. However, the therapeutic effects remain unsatisfactory. PD-1 antibody has demonstrated its efficacy in metastatic gastric cancer and has been proved to be effective in neoadjuvant setting in lung cancer and melanoma. Combination of perioperative PD-1 antibody and chemotherapy for locally advanced gastric cancer could be a novel therapy to increase response rate and resectability and reduce recurrence rate. JS001 in this study is a Chinese anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody for injection which has been approved for melanoma. This study is a multi-center, open-label, randomized phase II clinical trial to evaluate tolerability, safety and efficacy of JS001 in combination with perioperative chemotherapy in locally advanced gastric cancer.
