Study summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Apatinib combined with PD-1 antibody Sintilimab for for Chemotherapy-Refractory Advanced Metastatic Gastric Cancer

Read the detailed description

Patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) can be treated with multiple lines of chemotherapy. After second-line treatment some patients may receive third- and subsequent lines of chemotherapy if their performance status is well-preserved and they are willing to receive subsequent active treatments. Apatinib is a small-molecule VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved by the CFDA for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer. In a phase III trial, apatinib significantly improved PFS and OS compared with placebo, but the clinical benefit was modest. As a result of toxicity, 850 mg/day Apatinib may cause dose reduction and delay in some patients ,which also caused some doubts. Therefore, it is a reasonable treatment strategy by reducing the dose and combining it with another low-toxic drug to achieve similar or better effects. Some studies have shown that the combination of targeted therapy and immunotherapy may be effective in solid tumor. Sintilimab (IBI308) is a monoclonal antibody targeting programmed death-1 (PD-1). So, the investigators designed an open-label, single-arm, phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib combined with Sintilimab in Chemotherapy-Refractory Advanced Metastatic Gastric Cancer.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age between 20-75 years old

  • Has adequate organ function
  • At least 4 weeks from any major surgery (at first dose of trial drug)
  • Patients must be able to swallow apatinib

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • In the past, participants have received anti PD-1, anti PD-L1 or anti PD-L2 drugs or drugs targeting another stimulation or synergistic inhibition of T cell receptors (such as Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen 4 [CTLA-4] and CD137)
  • Other co-existing malignancies or malignancies diagnosed within the last 5 years(except cured cutaneum carcinoma or carcinoma in situs of cervix)
  • Less than 4 weeks from the last clinical trial
  • Active and uncontrollable bleeding from gastrointestinal tract
  • Known history of QT interval prolongation, ongoing QT prolongation (> 450 msec for males or > 470 msec for females), any cardiac ventricular dysrhythmias, atrial fibrillation of any grade
  • Hypertension that cannot be controlled by medications (> 140/90 mmHg despite optimal medical therapy)
  • Abnormal Coagulation (INR>1.5、APTT>1.5 UNL), with tendency of bleed;
  • Factors that could have an effect on oral medication (such as inability to swallow, chronic diarrhea and intestinal obstruction);
  • Active uncontrolled infection
  • Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
  • Symptomatic central nervous metastasis and/or cancerous meningitis
  • Known allergic/hypersensitivity reaction to any of the components of the treatment; or known drug abuse/alcohol abuse

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Disease control rate(DCR)

    The percentage of patients who have achieved complete response, partial response and stable disease,evaluated by RECIST, confirmed at least 4 weeks following the date of the initial response.

    Time frame: 12 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    The percentage of patients who achieve complete response or partial response,evaluated by RECIST, confirmed at least 4 weeks following the date of the initial response.

    Time frame: 12 months

  2. Overall survival (OS)

    Overall survival (OS) was calculated from the date of initial treatment with apatinib to the date of death due to any cause.

    Time frame: up to 12 months

  3. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time from date of first RECIST response to progressive disease \[PD\] or death

    Time frame: up to 12 months

  4. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was calculated from the day of randomization to the date of first documented progression, or death from any cause.

    Time frame: up to 12 months

  5. Adverse events(AE)

    Adverse events assessed using the NCI common toxicity criteria, version 4.01

    Time frame: up to 12 months
