Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) can be treated with multiple lines of chemotherapy. After second-line treatment some patients may receive third- and subsequent lines of chemotherapy if their performance status is well-preserved and they are willing to receive subsequent active treatments. Apatinib is a small-molecule VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved by the CFDA for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer. In a phase III trial, apatinib significantly improved PFS and OS compared with placebo, but the clinical benefit was modest. As a result of toxicity, 850 mg/day Apatinib may cause dose reduction and delay in some patients ,which also caused some doubts. Therefore, it is a reasonable treatment strategy by reducing the dose and combining it with another low-toxic drug to achieve similar or better effects. Some studies have shown that the combination of targeted therapy and immunotherapy may be effective in solid tumor. Sintilimab (IBI308) is a monoclonal antibody targeting programmed death-1 (PD-1). So, the investigators designed an open-label, single-arm, phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib combined with Sintilimab in Chemotherapy-Refractory Advanced Metastatic Gastric Cancer.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

20 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)
