About this study
Official title: Disitamab Vedotin Combined With Adebrelimab, Apatinib and S-1 as Neoadjuvant Therapy in Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer With HER2 Overexpression: a Prospective, Phase II Study
This study is a prospective, open-label, phase II clinical trial that aims to enroll patients with locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma who have not received any prior treatment and are candidates for surgery. The study drugs include RC48, Adebrelimab, Apatinib and S-1. The purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the combined coordinated treatment of multi-mechanism drugs for perioperative treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer with HER2 overexpression.
Read the detailed description
The study plans to enroll 32 subjects. After signing the informed consent form and meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria, patients will receive standard-dose treatment of the RC48, Adebrelimab, Apatinib and S-1 regimen for 3-4 cycles (every 3 weeks) before surgery. Apatinib will only be used for 14 days in the last cycle. Imaging studies will be conducted 3-4 weeks after the last dose to assess the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy and the possibility of radical D2 gastrectomy. The treatment plan after curative surgery for gastric cancer will be determined by the investigators and the patients based on the pathological findings. Patients who benefit clinically after surgery may receive adjuvant therapy with RC48, Adebrelimab, Apatinib and S-1 for 4 cycles (the first treatment is expected to start around 4 weeks after surgery) or follow the standard postoperative adjuvant regimen recommended by the guidelines.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing RC48, Adebrelimab and Apatinib in people with Gastric Cancer/Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma, run by The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University.
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 8 inclusion and 12 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 13 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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 Xiaofeng Chen, Ph.D (13585172066, chenxiaofengnjmu@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Pathological Complete Response Rate (pCR) (time frame: 4 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06385873, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 13 May 2024.
