简要总结
Phase II Study of Avelumab plus chemotherapy in the peri-operative treatment for patients with resectable Gastric cancer (GC) or Gastroesphageal Junction cancer (GEJC)
The addition of Avelumab to the perioperative chemotherapy in GC and GEJC patients may increase pathological responses by a synergic effect activating the immune response. Conclusively, the survival of these patients would improve.
The primary objective is to investigate whether the addition of avelumab to FLOT chemotherapy (docetaxel, oxaliplatin and fluorouracil/leucovorin) improves efficacy in terms of pathological complete response (pCR) rate, in GC and GEJC patients compared to the historical data of chemotherapy alone in the neoadjuvant setting.

入选标准
- •Histologically proven, gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma (Siewert I-III).
- •Availability of a paraffin block from the diagnostic endoscopic biopsy (and a fresh biopsy if possible), and a second tumor block (fresh + paraffin) from the surgical specimen.
- •Have evaluable disease as defined by RECIST 1.1 and determined by investigator assessment, with the absence of distant metastases on CT scan of thorax, abdomen and pelvis.
- •Patient medically fit and amenable to gastrectomy/esophagectomy with curative intent as confirmed by a multidisciplinary team discussion.
- •UICC tumor stage Ib (T1N1 only, T2N0 not eligible) to IIIC, as defined by CT, according to the 7th AJCC Edition.
- •Age ≥ 18 years.
- •WHO performance status 0-
- •Adequate organ function (assessed within 7 days prior treatment initiation):
- •White blood cell count (WBC) > 3 x 109 /L
- •Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1.5 x 109 /L
- •Platelets ≥ 100 x 109 /L
- •Estimated glomerular filtration rate should be > 50 ml/min
- •Total bilirubin within normal limits (if the patient has documented Gilbert's disease ≤ 1.5 x ULN or direct bilirubin ≤ ULN).
- •Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x ULN.
- •In case of anticoagulation, investigator and patient should agree to replace any oral anticoagulation by subcutaneous administration of low-molecular weight heparin in equivalent doses before treatment start;
- •For women who are not postmenopausal (> 12 months of non-therapy induced amenorrhea) or surgically sterile (absence of ovaries and/or uterus): agreement to remain abstinent or use single or combined contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of < 1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 12 months after the last treatment dose.
- •For men: agreement to remain abstinent or use a condom plus an additional contraceptive method that together result in a failure rate of < 1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 12 months after the last dose of study treatment. Abstinence is only acceptable if it is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g. calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods for contraception.
- •For all female patients who are not confirmed postmenopausal (> 12 months of non-therapy induced amenorrhea) or surgically sterile (absence of ovaries and/or uterus) a negative serum pregnancy test (β-human chorionic gonadotropin [β-hCG]) result should be available before treatment and within 7 days from treatment start should be performed. Female patients should not be breast feeding.
- •Written informed consent must be given according to ICH/GCP, and national/local regulations.
排除标准
- •Other histology different from adenocarcinoma.
- •Has had previous therapy for gastric or GEJ cancer.
- •Known hypersensitivity to the components of anti-PD-L1, docetaxel, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil/leucovorin.
- •Known dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency.
- •Previous malignancy within the last 5 years, except for adequately treated cervical carcinoma in situ, localized non-melanoma skin cancer, or other curatively treated cancer without impact on the patient's overall prognosis according to the judgment of the investigator.
- •Any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those condition should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial.
- •History of clinically significant comorbidities.
- •Patients medically unfit for FLOT chemotherapy, according to the local guidance.
- •Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years (i.e. with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxin, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment.
- •Diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment. Current use of immunosuppressive medication, EXCEPT for the following: a. intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injection (e.g., intra-articular injection); b. Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses ≤ 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent; c. Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., CT scan premedication). History or evidence of interstitial lung disease or active, non-infectious pneumonitis.
- •Active infection requiring systemic therapy.
