Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study focuses on patients with H. pylori-positive resectable locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the gastric and oesophagogastric junction. It evaluates the perioperative oxaliplatin with S-1 (SOX) combined H. pylori eradication versus oxaliplatin with S-1 in the management of H. pylori-positive locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the gastric and oesophagogastric junction (cT3/4a Nx or T2 N2/3, M0) , assessing their values and advantages.
Detailed Description
Subjects randomized to the trial group will receive 3-4 cycles of oxaliplatin with S-1 (SOX)+ H. pylori eradication (a 14-day quadruple regimen: amoxicillin + clarithromycin + omeprazole + bismuth potassium citrate) before surgery. One of the SOX regimens will be every 3 weeks (Q3W), with a tumor response assessment at the end of the neoadjuvant therapy course. Patients will continue to receive 4-5 cycles of SOX adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery for a total of 8 cycles of SOX regimen treatment. Patients in the trial group will undergo H. pylori eradication at the time of the first cycle of the SOX regimen. H. pylori eradication will be determined by postoperative pathology, and those who are H. pylori-positive by postoperative pathology will be treated with remedial eradication therapy after recovery from surgery (except for patients with total gastric resection).
Subjects randomized to the control group will receive 3-4 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy with the SOX regimen before surgery. The SOX regimen will be administered every 3 weeks (Q3W). A tumor response assessment will be performed at the end of the treatment course. Control patients were treated with H. pylori eradication after recovery from surgery based on postoperative pathologic H. pylori results: if H. pylori-positive, they received H. pylori eradication plus 4-5 cycles of SOX adjuvant chemotherapy (except for patients who underwent total gastric resection); if H. pylori-negative, they received 4-5 cycles of SOX adjuvant chemotherapy only.
A formal interim analysis will schedule once 60 enrolled participants have completed the primary endpoint. This analysis will serve as the decisive basis for determining whether to terminate this study early. Criteria for early termination are as follows: (i) Efficacy-driven termination: If the analysis of the primary outcome across the 60 participants achieves statistical significance (p < 0.05), indicating that the anticipated clinical trial objectives have been fully realized, patient enrollment will be discontinued immediately. (ii) Feasibility-driven termination: If the analysis fails to reach statistical significance, a scientific and feasibility assessment will be initiated to determine whether to prematurely halt or proceed with subsequent enrollment.

- •international normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 × Upper limit of normal ( ULN ) only for subjects not receiving anticoagulation; subjects receiving anticoagulation should be on a stable dose;

- •Females of childbearing potential (including females who are menopausal due to chemo-menopause or other medical reasons) must agree to use contraception for a period of at least 6 months from the time of signing the Informed Consent Form to at least 6 months after the last dose of study treatment or concomitant chemotherapy, whichever is later. Females must also agree to refrain from breastfeeding for a period of at least 6 months from the time of signing the informed consent to the time of the last administration of the study drug or concomitant chemotherapy, whichever is later; males must agree to use contraception for a period of at least 6 months from the time of administration of the test drug to the time of the last administration of the test drug or concomitant chemotherapy, whichever is later.

Arms & Interventions
Oxaliplatin With S-1 （SOX）
Subjects randomized to the control group will receive 3-4 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy with the Oxaliplatin With S-1（SOX）regimen before surgery. The SOX regimen will be administered every 3 weeks (Q3W). A tumor response assessment will be performed at the end of the treatment course. Control patients were treated with H. Pylori eradication after recovery from surgery based on postoperative pathologic H. Pylori results: if H. Pylori-positive, they received H. Pylori eradication plus 4-5 cycles of SOX adjuvant chemotherapy (except for patients who underwent total gastric resection); if H. Pylori-negative, they received 4-5 cycles of SOX adjuvant chemotherapy only.
