About this study

Official title: Single Center, Phase II Clinical Study of PD-1 Antibody Carilizumab Combined with Apatinib for Unresectable Stage III and IV DMMR Gastric Cancer

Evaluate the safety and efficacy of PD-1 antibody Carilizumab combined with apatinib for the conversion therapy of unresectable stage III and IV dMMR gastric cancer.

Read the detailed description

This study is a prospective, open label, single center, phase II clinical trial aimed at evaluating the safety and efficacy of PD-1 antibody Carilizumab combined with apatinib for the conversion therapy of unresectable stage III and IV dMMR gastric cancer.

The study participants were unresectable stage III and IV dMMR gastric cancer patients who had not undergone any anti-tumor treatment. The study aims to enroll 20 participants with a primary endpoint of 1-year disease progression free survival rate. participants who meet the inclusion criteria will receive treatment with both Carilizumab and Apatinib, repeated every 21 days. During the conversion therapy period, the researchers evaluate whether surgery can be performed after every 2 cycles of medication for the subjects. After evaluation by the researchers, the participants were deemed eligible for surgery. Apatinib was discontinued for one cycle and an additional course of Carilizumab was administered in preparation for surgery. The time between the last dose and surgery was 3-6 weeks, with a maximum of 6 weeks. Both surgical and non-surgical subjects will continue to receive treatment with the original regimen of Carilizumab combined with Apatinib after surgery until disease progression, recurrence, or death, for a maximum of 2 years.

After the treatment is completed, a treatment end visit, a post treatment safety visit, and survival follow-up will be conducted. Participants who end the study due to non disease progression reasons will undergo imaging evaluation at the end of treatment (if no imaging evaluation has been received within 4 weeks before the end of treatment), and imaging evaluation will be conducted every 2 months after the end of treatment to assess the time of disease progression. After the completion of treatment, the participants will undergo a survival follow-up every 90 days to collect and record their survival status and subsequent anti-tumor treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The rate of 1-year PFS

    The progression free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from the beginning of systematic anti-cancer therapy to disease progression or death from any cause

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1year"

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Carilizumab and Apatinib in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Peking University Third Hospital 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 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jan 2025. 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 Yanhong Yao (+86 010-82265857, snowdream246@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The rate of 1-year PFS (time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1year"). 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 24 Jan 2025.
