About this study

Official title: Anti-PD-1 Antibody Combined With Chemotherapy as First-line Treatment of Serum AFP-elevated Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma: a Single-arm, Multicenter Phase II Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of of anti-PD-1 antibody in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with unresectable, locally advanced recurrent or metastatic serum AFP-elevated gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

Read the detailed description

AFP-elevated gastric adenocarcinoma is a special type of gastric cancer, with the characteristics of high risk of liver and lymph node metastasis, poor therapeutic effect, and dismal prognosis.

This prospective study is a single-arm, multicenter phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1 antibody in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with unresectable, locally advanced recurrent or metastatic serum AFP-elevated gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

AFP elevation is defined as serum AFP > 20 ng/ml. In this prospective study, the objective remission rate (ORR) will be used as primary outcome measures and 30 patients will be recruited. Anti-PD-1 antibody in combination with chemotherapy will be administered. PD-L1 expression and tumor mutant burden (TMB) will be measured before treatment. In addition, the dynamic changes of serum AFP levels, T lymphocyte in peripheral blood will be monitored during treatment. In the course of treatment, safety evaluation will be carried out according to the standard of adverse reaction classification (CTCAE) 4.0.

Being tested
Anti-PD-1 antibody, XELOX
Keywords

    Scores according to the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 scoring manual.

    Measured: Every 2 weeks after the first treatment until 2 years

  8. Exploration of biomarkers (PD-L1 expression, TMB at the baseline, changes of AFP and T lymphocyte in peripheral blood)

    PD-L1 expression at the baseline using, TMB level at the baseline, changes of serum AFP level and T lymphocyte in peripheral blood at baseline and during the treatment,and etc.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Anti-PD-1 antibody and XELOX in people with Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma and AFP, run by China Medical University, China at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Qian Dong (17309815028, dongqian08@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective response rate (ORR) (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Apr 2021.
