About this study
Official title: Sintilimab Plus FOLFIRI as Second-line Therapy for Patients With HER2-negative Advanced Gastric Cancer: a Prospective Single-arm Phase II Study
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 is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
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
Measured: Undergo imaging examination to evaluate efficacy every 8 weeks ±7 days
Secondary outcomes (5)
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.
Measured: From the date of enrollment to the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 60 months.
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.
Measured: From the date of enrollment to the first documentation of disease progression or all-cause death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 60 months.
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
Measured: Undergo imaging examination to evaluate efficacy every 8 weeks ±7 days
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
Measured: Undergo imaging examination to evaluate efficacy every 8 weeks ±7 days
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.
Measured: from the date of the first medicine to 28±7 days after the last medicine

A Phase 2 study testing Sintilimab+irinotecan+leucovorin folinate+fluorouracil in people with Unresectable/Metastatic Gastric Cancer, run by Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University 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 9 inclusion and 13 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jun 2026. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Qiong Yang, Doctor (13632341201, yangqiong05@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
5-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate (time frame: Undergo imaging examination to evaluate efficacy every 8 weeks ±7 days). 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 18 Jun 2026.
