About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter Clinical Study of Fruquintinib Combined With PD-1 Monoclonal Antibody as First-line Maintenance Therapy in Patients With HER-2-negative Advanced Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma

This study was designed to explore the efficacy and safety of fruquintinib combined with PD-1 inhibitors as first-line maintenance therapy for advanced HER-2 Negative Gastric Cancer.

Being tested
Initial treatment: PD-1+ Oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy (CAPOX/SOX/FOLFOX), Maintenance treatment (after 3 months): fruquintinib+PD-1

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Initial treatment: PD-1+ Oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy (CAPOX/SOX/FOLFOX)Drug

    CAPOX/SOX (each cycle is 21 days): Oxaliplatin 130mg/m2, ivgtt, D1; Capecitabine 1000 mg/m2, po, bid, D1-14 or S-1: 40-60mg according to BSA, bid, D1-14.

    FOLFOX (each cycle is 14 days): Oxaliplatin 85mg/m2, ivgtt, D1, Q2W; 5-Fluorouracil: 400mg/m2, D1, followed by 2400 mg/m2 as a continuous IV infusion over 46 hours; Leucovorin: 400mg/m2, iv, D1.

    PD-1 monoclonal antibody:

    Nivolumab 360mg/3 weeks or 240mg /2 weeks, iv, D1; If weight ≥60 kg, Sintilimab 200mg/3 weeks; if weight < 60 kg, Sintilimab 3mg/kg/3 weeks, iv, D1; Tislelizumab 200mg/3 weeks, iv, D1; Pembrolizumab 200mg/3 weeks, iv, D1;

  • Maintenance treatment (after 3 months): fruquintinib+PD-1Drug

    After 3 months (12 weeks) of initial treatment with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy combined with PD-1 monoclonal antibody, those with complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) assessed by imaging evaluation continued to receive maintenance treatment with furoquininib and PD-1 monoclonal antibody.

    Fruquintinib 3 mg/d, qd po, D1-21, Q4W; PD-1 monoclonal antibody is repeated as initial treatment until the disease progresses or unacceptable toxicity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Initial treatment: PD-1+ Oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy (CAPOX/SOX/FOLFOX) and Maintenance treatment (after 3 months): fruquintinib+PD-1 in people with Gastric Adenocarcinoma and GEJ Adenocarcinoma, run by Ruijin 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 10 inclusion and 24 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 21 Mar 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 Jun Zhang (+86-21-64370045, zj10977@rjh.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

One-year progression-free survival rate (time frame: Up to 1 year). 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 21 Mar 2025.
