Study Overview

Brief Summary

A single-arm, prospective phase II clinical study of neoadjuvant PD-1/CTLA-4 combination antibody with low-dose radiotherapy in resectable dMMR/MSI-H esophagogastric junction/gastric adenocarcinoma.

Detailed Description

This study is a prospective, single-center, single-arm Phase II clinical trial. Participants will be patients with resectable locally advanced dMMR/MSI-H esophagogastric junction/gastric adenocarcinoma staged as cT1-2N1-3M0 or T3-T4aN0-3M0 according to the AJCC/UICC staging system. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PD-1/CTLA-4 combination antibody therapy combined with low-dose radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced resectable dMMR/MSI-H esophagogastric junction/gastric adenocarcinoma.

Eligible participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled in the study.

Primary endpoint: Pathological complete response rate (pCR), defined as pT0N0M0,Safety: Treatment-related adverse reactions of grade 3 or above according to CTCAE 5.0 will be recorded from the start of treatment until 30 days after surgery..

Secondary endpoints:

Treatment feasibility: the proportion of patients who complete neoadjuvant therapy and undergo surgery within 3-5 weeks after treatment.

  • •International Normalized Ratio (INR) and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN (patients receiving stable-dose anticoagulation therapy such as low-molecular-weight heparin or warfarin with INR within the expected therapeutic range may be enrolled).
  • •Females of childbearing potential should undergo a urine or serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to the first dose of study drug and must have a negative result. They must also agree to use effective contraception during the study period and for 5 months after the last dose. Male participants whose partners are of childbearing potential must also use effective contraception during the study period and for 7 months after the last dose.

Exclusion Criteria

  • •History of surgery for gastric or gastroesophageal junction tumor;
  • •Immunohistochemistry or genetic testing shows pMMR, MSI-L, or MSS;
  • •High risk of gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation;
  • •Poor nutritional status, BMI < 18.5 kg/m², or PG-SGA score ≥ 9;
  • •Major surgery or serious trauma within 4 weeks prior to the first use of the study drug;
  • •Presence of uncontrollable pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring repeated drainage;
  • •Previously received or is currently receiving any of the following treatments: anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 antibody therapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy;
  • •Received any investigational drug within 4 weeks prior to the first use of the study drug;
  • •Requires systemic corticosteroids (more than 10 mg/day prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive agents within 2 weeks prior to the first use of the study drug, except for local inflammation of the esophagus/stomach and corticosteroid use for allergy prevention or nausea/vomiting control. Special circumstances require communication with the sponsor. In the absence of active autoimmune disease, inhaled or topical steroids and adrenal corticosteroid replacement at doses >10 mg/day prednisone equivalent are allowed;
  • •Has received an anticancer vaccine or received a live vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the first administration of the study drug;
  • •Has any active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease (e.g., interstitial pneumonia, uveitis, enteritis, hepatitis, hypophysitis, vasculitis, myocarditis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism), except for vitiligo or resolved childhood asthma/allergy that does not require intervention in adulthood. Patients on stable-dose thyroid hormone replacement for autoimmune hypothyroidism and those on stable-dose insulin for type I diabetes mellitus may be included;
