About this study

Official title: Phase II Clinical Study of Adebrelimab Plus Apatinib and SOX Regimen for Conversion Therapy of Advanced Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma

This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm, open phase II clinical study. Forty-nine participants with pathologically or cytologically confirmed gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction cancer are scheduled to be enrolled in this study. All participants will be treated with 2 to 8 cycles of adebrelimab, apatinib, oxaliplatin, and tigio before surgery. Participants will evaluate the treatment effect after every 2 cycles of medication. By the investigator assessment as an operable subject, apatinib was discontinued for one cycle. The adjuvant treatment will be determined by the investigators based on the participants' postoperative pathology results. Participants requiring adjuvant therapy, with a postoperative interval of at least 4 weeks, but not more than 10 weeks. When the resection standard isn't met for 8 cycles of treatment, the treatment is switched to a maintenance phase, which the subject treatment regimen is determined by the investigator. During the treatment period, participants will receive the study drugs on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle until evidence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Read the detailed description

Study Design: This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm, open-label Phase II clinical study. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Adebrelimab combined with Apatinib and SOX regimen as conversion therapy for patients with advanced, unresectable gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. The study plans to enroll approximately 49 participants who are assessed by investigators as having conversion therapy potential (defined as single organ metastasis, retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis, supraclavicular lymph node metastasis, limited peritoneal metastasis, or invasion of surrounding organs).

Treatment Protocol: Eligible participants will receive a four-drug combination therapy consisting of Adebrelimab, Apatinib Mesylate, Oxaliplatin, and S-1. The treatment is administered in 3-week cycles:

Adebrelimab: 1200 mg, intravenous infusion on Day 1.

Apatinib Mesylate: 250 mg, oral, once daily.

Oxaliplatin: 130 mg/m², intravenous infusion on Day 1.

S-1 (Tegafur, Gimeracil, and Oteracil Potassium): 40-60 mg (based on Body Surface Area), oral, twice daily on Days 1-14.

Study Procedures and Phases:

Conversion Treatment Phase: Patients will receive treatment for a minimum of 2 cycles and a maximum of 8 cycles. Resectability will be assessed by the investigator every 2 cycles using imaging evaluation.

Surgical Intervention:

If the tumor is assessed as resectable: Apatinib will be discontinued for one cycle prior to the planned surgery to ensure safety.

Surgery should be performed between 3 to 6 weeks (maximum 6 weeks) after the last dose of the study drug.

Post-operative Phase: The decision to administer adjuvant therapy will be made by the investigator based on post-operative pathological results. If adjuvant therapy is required, it will commence at least 4 weeks but no later than 10 weeks after surgery.

Maintenance Phase: If the tumor remains unresectable after 8 cycles of combination therapy, the patient will transition to a maintenance phase. The specific treatment regimen during the maintenance phase will be determined by the investigator based on the patient's condition.

Follow-up: Upon discontinuation of treatment, patients will undergo safety follow-ups every 30 days until 90 days after the last dose. Subsequently, patients will enter the survival follow-up period to monitor disease recurrence, metastasis, and overall survival. Follow-ups will occur every 3 months for the first 2 years and every 6 months for years 2 to 5.

What is being measured

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

  1. R0 resection rate

    Proportion of participants who achieve R0 resection, defined as microscopically margin-negative resection confirmed by postoperative pathological examination.

    Measured: At the time of definitive surgery following completion of neoadjuvant treatment (within 6 months from enrollment)

  2. Adverse Events (AE)

    Incidence, nature, and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs), graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE), version 5.0.

    Measured: From treatment initiation to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment (up to approximately 6 months).

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who achieve a Best Overall Response (BOR) of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR), as assessed by the investigator according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.

    Measured: up to 1year

  2. Overall survival (OS)

    Time from day of study to death due to any cause.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  3. Disease Free Survival (PFS)

    Time from enrollment to disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

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 15 inclusion and 17 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 22 Apr 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 Wei Deng, MD (+8613426136152 ext. 010-63138712, dengweiwei@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

R0 resection rate (time frame: At the time of definitive surgery following completion of neoadjuvant treatment (within 6 months from enrollment)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 Apr 2026.
