First-line Apatinib Combined With Tislelizumab and Chemotherapy for Advanced GC
- Conditions
- Advanced Gastric Adenocarcinoma
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT06238752
- Lead Sponsor
- Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University
- Brief Summary
In this clinical study, investigators explore the efficacy and safety of a combination therapy regimen with antiangiogenic agent (apatinib), ICI (tislelizumab), and chemotherapy (capecitabine+ Oxaliplatin, XELOX) as first-line treatment for HER2-negative, advanced G/GEJ cancer patients with signet ring cell carcinoma or peritoneal metastasis.
- Detailed Description
Patients received 8 cycles of apatinib (250 mg, qd, d1-14), tislelizumab (200 mg d1), and oxaliplatin (130 mg/m2, d1) plus oral capecitabine (1000 mg/m2, bid, d1-14) every 3 weeks, with a maintenance therapy with apatinib plus tislelizumab for a maximum of 1 year. Homogeneous patients receiving ICIs combined with chemotherapy at the same time were deemed as the control group for efficacy.

After providing written consent before participation in the study, patients must fulfill all of the following criteria. If a subject is found not to meet any of the following criteria before the first dose of the therapy regimen, the subject will not be started on the study treatment but will be withdrawn from the study.
-
Sex: Men and women

Age (at the time of informed consent): 18 years and older
-
Patients with unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric cancer (including esophagogastric junction cancer) that has been istologically confirmed to be adenocarcinoma and has not been treated with the first-line therapy with systemic antitumor agents for advanced or recurrent gastric cancer (including esophagogastric junction cancer).For patients who have received neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy (including chemoradiotherapy) in combination with curative or endoscopic surgery (R0 resection confirmed), the chemotherapy in the last regimen must be completed by at least 180 days before the date of recurrence.
-
Have at least one measurable lesion, as defined in the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines (version 1.1), on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 28 days before enrolled in the study

-
Have a life expectancy of at least 3 months
-
Have latest laboratory data meeting the criteria below within 7 days before enrolled. If the date of the laboratory tests at enrolled is not within 7 days before the first dose of the therapy regimen, testing should be repeated within 7 days before the first dose of the therapy regimen, and the latest laboratory data before the first dose of the therapy regimen must be confirmed to meet the following criteria. Moreover, laboratory data will not be valid if the patient has received a granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) or blood transfusion within 14 days before testing.

- Creatinine ≤1.5 times the ULN or creatinine clearance >30 mL/min
- albumin ≥3g/L
-
Women of childbearing potential (including women with chemical menopause or no menstruation for other medical reasons) must agree to use contraception from the time of informed consent until at least 5 months after the last dose of the therapy regimen, whichever comes later. Also, women must agree not to breastfeed from the time of informed consent until at least 5 months after the last dose of the therapy regimen, whichever comes later.
-
Men must agree to use contraception from the start of the study treatment until at least 7 months after the last dose of the therapy regimen.
Patients meeting any of the following criteria at assessment for participation will be excluded from the study. If a randomized subject is found to meet any of the following criteria before the first dose of the therapy regimen, the subject will not be started on the study treatment but will be withdrawn from the study.
-
Patients with HER2-positive or indeterminate gastric cancer (Determination for positive is made on the basis of the reference in each site. If there is no reference, rough indication for positive is 3+ by immunohistochemistry [IHC], or 2+ by IHC and positive by in situ hybridization [ISH]).
