Study summary

The combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors and platinum containing dual drugs are more used as a first-line therapeutic approach for patients diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer for its superior efficacy. However, there are no standard recommendations for subsequent treatment after progression on first-line therapy. Here, the investigators conduct this open-label, monocenter, single arm phase II study to evaluate whether sintilimab in combination with irinotecan, leucovorin folinate and fluorouracil can be the second-line therapy for patients diagnosed with HER2-negative unresectable or metastatic gastric cancer progression on first-line therapy. Patients participated in this study will receive sintilimab 3mg/kg for patients with body weight\<60kg or 200mg for patients with body weight ≥ 60kg, plus irinotecan 180mg/m2 intravenous infusion, leucovorin folinate 400mg/m2 intravenous infusion and fluorouracil 400mg/m2 intravenous injection followed by 2400mg/m2 intravenous infusion for 48 hours, repeated every two weeks. The primary endpoint is 5-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate. The investigators estimated that 27 patients were necessary. Secondary endpoints include overall survival, progression-free survival, objective response rate, disease control rate and safety for unresectable or metastatic gastric cancer. Exploratory endpoint is to detect the baseline ctDNA level of patients before initial treatment.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. 5-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate

    The 5-month PFS rate refers to the proportion of patients who do not experience tumor progression or all-cause death at the 5-month time point following initial treatment

    Time frame: Undergo imaging examination to evaluate efficacy every 8 weeks ±7 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall survival

    OS is defined as the time from study enrollment to the date of death due to any cause, assessed up to 60 months.

    Time frame: From the date of enrollment to the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 60 months.

  2. Progression free survival

    PFS is defined as the time from study enrollment to the first documentation of disease progression or all-cause death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 60 months.

    Time frame: From the date of enrollment to the first documentation of disease progression or all-cause death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 60 months.

  3. Objective response rate

    ORR is defined as the percentage of patients relative to the total of enrolled subjects who achieve a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on CT or MRI scan images

    Time frame: Undergo imaging examination to evaluate efficacy every 8 weeks ±7 days

  4. Disease control rate

    DCR is defined as the percentage of patients relative to the total of enrolled subjects who achieve a complete response (CR) , partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) based on CT or MRI scan images

    Time frame: Undergo imaging examination to evaluate efficacy every 8 weeks ±7 days

  5. Adverse Events

    Assessment of Safety and tolerance for sintilimab plus FOLFIRI as salvage therapy in patients with unresectable/metastatic gastric cancer, including incidence, severity and outcomes of adverse events (AEs) and categorized by severity in accordance with the NCI CTC AE Version 5.0.

    Time frame: from the date of the first medicine to 28±7 days after the last medicine

Other outcomes

  1. Baseline ctDNA level

    Detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) levels in peripheral blood before the initial treatment

    Time frame: At baseline, prior to initial treatment
