Study summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether perioperative ivonescimab in combination with S-1 and oxaliplatin (SOX) is effective in treating locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. The study will also assess the safety profile of this treatment regimen.

Primary Objective:

To determine whether perioperative ivonescimab plus SOX improves the pathological complete response (pCR) rate compared with SOX alone in patients with locally advanced gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma.

Study Design:

Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either ivonescimab plus SOX or SOX alone to evaluate the potential added benefit of ivonescimab in this setting.

Participation Details:

Participants will receive the assigned treatment (ivonescimab plus SOX or SOX alone) every 21 days for approximately 4 months.

They will visit the clinic once every 3 weeks for evaluations, laboratory tests, and monitoring.

Participants will be asked to keep a daily diary to record any symptoms or side effects experienced during the study.

Read the detailed description

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ivonescimab in combination with S-1 and oxaliplatin (SOX) for the treatment of locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma in the neoadjuvant (perioperative) setting, with the goal of improving the pathological complete response (pCR) rate.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Total pathological complete response (pCR; ypT0) assessed by investigators, defined as the complete absence of tumor cells in the primary tumor on pathological examination.

    Time frame: Perioperative

Secondary outcomes

  1. Event-free survival (EFS)

    Event-free survival (EFS), defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of relapse, metastasis, or death from any cause;

    Time frame: Through study completion,an average of 2 years

  2. major pathologic response

    defined as ≤10% residual viable tumor cells in the resected primary tumor specimen after neoadjuvant therapy;

    Time frame: Perioperative

  3. R0 resection

    defined as microscopically margin-negative resection

    Time frame: Perioperative

  4. overall survival (OS)

    defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause;

    Time frame: Through study completion,an average of 2 years

  5. disease-free survival (DFS)

    defined as the time from the post-surgery baseline scan to the first occurrence of relapse, metastasis, or death from any cause

    Time frame: Through study completion,an average of 2 years

  6. safety

    Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) with potential immunologic etiology were categorized and graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) (Version 5.0)

    Time frame: Through study completion,an average of 2 years

  7. surgery-related complications

    were graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification;

    Time frame: Through study completion,an average of 2 years

  8. An exploratory endpoint

    was the evaluation of potential predictive biomarkers associated with treatment response

    Time frame: Through study completion,an average of 2 years

  9. Quality of life

    Quality of life was assessed using the EORTC QLQ-STO22 and EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaires, administered at three time points: within one week before initiation of neoadjuvant therapy, within one week before the fourth neoadjuvant therapy cycle, and at 30 days postoperatively (±3 days)
