Biomarker Analysis of Tislelizumab Combined With Chemotherapy for Perioperative Treatment of G/GEJ Adenocarcinoma

November 26, 2025 updated by: Xijing Hospital

Predictive Biomarker Analysis and Model Construction of Tislelizumab Combined With Chemotherapy for Perioperative Treatment of G/GEJ Adenocarcinoma: A Single-center, Observational Study

G/GEJ adenocarcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors in China, ranking the fifth highest incidence and third highest mortality worldwide. Currently, surgical resection is the preferred treatment for G/GEJ adenocarcinoma, while the 5-year survival rate of patients is lower than 25%. Compared with surgical resection, immunotherapy is proved to be able to effectively prolong the survival time of patients. On one hand, with the continuous promotion of immunotherapy drugs, the exploration of neoadjuvant application of immunotherapy in G/GEJ adenocarcinoma has become a hotspot in recent years. It's also on their way that clinical trials of programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1), programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) and other immune checkpoints are carried out. On the other hand, the research found that although the curative effect of immune therapy seems better, the present G/GEJ adenocarcinoma immunotherapy marker researches mainly focused on the late stage of the cancer, with few studies of immune markers of neoadjuvant therapy for G/GEJ adenocarcinoma. Additionally, it's not quite feasible for single biomarkers to predict the immune treatment effect precisely. Therefore, combined with clinicopathology and therapeutic effects, this study is aimed to construct the efficacy prediction model of anti-PD-1 antibody together with chemotherapy for G/GEJ adenocarcinoma, by detecting RNA expression. Furthermore, this study will perform drug sensitivity test and bio-molecular test on patient derived organoid model to validate the biomarkers found from biological specimens.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Relative RNA biomarkers
Time Frame: From the initiation date of patients recruited into groups to the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years
At the RNA level, to identify the biomarkers related to the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy with PD-1 mab combined with chemotherapy in locally advanced gastric cancer.
From the initiation date of patients recruited into groups to the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years
Prediction model for efficacy
Time Frame: From the date of completing collecting data, to the date of death from any cause or the end date of the whole trail, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years
A prediction model for the efficacy of PD-1 mab combined with chemotherapy, constructed on the basis of clinical pathology, gene variation, gene expression and other factors.
From the date of completing collecting data, to the date of death from any cause or the end date of the whole trail, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Drug resistance mechanism
Time Frame: From the initiation date of patients recruited into groups to the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years
To explore the drug resistance mechanism of locally advanced gastric cancer after neoadjuvant therapy with PD-1 mab combined with chemotherapy.
From the initiation date of patients recruited into groups to the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years
Response of organoids to the same neoadjuvant drugs as the corresponding patients
Time Frame: From the initiation date of patients recruited into groups to the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years
The investigators will establish the G/GEJ adenocarcinoma organoid and tumor infiltration immune cell co-cultural model. The model will be treated with the same PD-1 mab combined with chemotherapy drugs as the corresponding patients. The viability of the organoids will be observed and quantified after treatment. The correlation of 3D organoid sensitivity and the patient response will be analyzed. And RNA expression detection of organoids before and after treatment will be performed to further validate the biomarkers from biological specimens.
From the initiation date of patients recruited into groups to the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years
Conditions of immune microenvironment
Time Frame: From the initiation date of patients recruited into groups to the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years
To monitor the changes of immune microenvironment before and after neoadjuvant treatment with PD-1 mab combined with chemotherapy for locally advanced gastric cancer. To evaluate whether the tumor infiltration immune cell and organoid co-cultural system can rebuild the tumor immune micro-environment, the immune cell subpopulations will be detected by single-cell sequencing, immunofluorescence staining and flow-cytometry.
From the initiation date of patients recruited into groups to the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years
