Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Gastric Cancer
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: Taurine
Drug: XELOX regimen
Dietary Supplement: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT06128252
Lead Sponsor
Tang-Du Hospital
Brief Summary

This project aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral taurine supplementation combined with PD-1 inhibitor (serplulimab) and chemotherapy in inducing systemic CD8+ T cell responses and achieving improved gastric cancer patient outcomes than with serplulimab and chemotherapy alone.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pathological complete responseThrough study completion, Within 1 week after operation

To evaluate the pathologic complete response rate of locally advanced gastric cancer treated with concurrent serplulimab with chemotherapy with or without taurine supplementation.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
R0 resection rateThrough study completion, Within 1 week after operation

The surgical margin is microscopically-negative for residual tumor.

Major pathological response (MPR)Through study completion, Within 1 week after operation

Residual tumor cells below 10% in the resected specimen.

Objective response rate (ORR)Through study completion, an average of 1 year.

ORR is defined as the proportion of subjects with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.

Disease-free survival (DFS)Through study completion, an average of 1 year

DFS was defined as the time from surgery to postoperative recurrence or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. DFS was censored on the last tumor assessment date for patients still alive and without recurrence.

Event-free survival (EFS)Through study completion, an average of 1 year

EFS was the time from enrollment to recurrence or death from any cause. EFS was censored on the last tumor assessment date for patients still alive and without recurrence.

Overall survival (OS)Through study completion, an average of 1 year

OS was the time from enrolment to death from any cause. OS was censored on the last date known to be alive for patients without documentation of death.

Quality of lifeThrough study completion, an average of 1 year]

The quality of life was assessed by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-STO22 and Piper Fatigue Scale.

Changes in CD8+ T cell infiltration in tumor tissue1 year

Changes in number, effector (TNF-α, IFN-γ, etc.) production and immune checkpoint molecule (PD-1, CTLA-4, etc.) expression of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells in gastric cancer endoscopic biopsy or surgical resection material assessed via flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry.

Changes in CD8+ T cell death and functionThrough study completion, an average of 1 year

Changes in number, apoptosis rate, effector (TNF-α, IFN-γ, etc.) production and immune checkpoint molecule (PD-1, CTLA-4, etc.) expression of CD8+ T cells in peripheral venous blood assessed via flow cytometry.

Safety endpointsThrough study completion, an average of 1 year

Number of study subjects experiencing adverse events (AEs), dose-limiting toxicities, and serious adverse events (SAEs). Safety profile will be assessed through laboratory evaluations, vital signs, and physical examinations.
