Brief Summary

This study is a prospective, single arm, multi-center phase II clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of perioperative SOX combined with toripalimab in participants with Epstein-Barr Virus-associated locally advanced gastric or esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma.

Conditions

Adenocarcinoma of the Stomach; Adenocarcinoma of Esophagogastric Junction; Epstein-Barr Virus-Associated Gastric Carcinoma

Keywords

Gastric Adenocarcinoma; Esophagogastric Junction Adenocarcinoma; Perioperative Chemotherapy; Toripalimab; Epstein-Barr Virus-associated gastric cancer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Rate of pathological complete responses (pCR)

  Percentage of patients with pCR referring to the total number of enrolled and eligible patients, as evaluated centrally by a reference pathologist.

  From enrollment to surgery after pre-operative treatment (up to approximately 36 months)

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Overall survival

  From randomization to the last follow-up or death from any cause (up to approximately 72 months)

• Progression-free survival

  From randomization to the last follow-up or the time of disease progression or relapse or death from any cause (up to approximately 72 months)

• The incidences and types of adverse events (AE) and severe adverse events (SAE)

  From enrollment to 90-day after the last dose administration (up to approximately 39 months)

Study Arms (1)

Chemotherapy+Toripalimab

EXPERIMENTAL

Toripalimab: 240 mg IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21 day cycle for 3 cycles prior to surgery and 3 cycles after surgery. Chemotherapy: SOX(S-1+Oxaliplatin) Oxaliplatin,administered as a 2-hour intravenous infusion (130mg/m2) S-1, orally twice daily for 2 weeks followed by a 7-day rest period. The dose of S-1 was 80 mg/day for body surface area less than 1.25 m2, 100 mg/day for body surface area greater than or equal to 1.25 to less than 1.5 m2, and 120 mg/day for body surface area greater than or equal to 1.5 m2 Chemotherapy will be repeated each 21 day for 3 cycles prior to surgery and 3 cycles after surgery.

Drug: Toripalimab; Drug: Oxaliplatin; Drug: S1
