A Phase II Study of Sintilimab Combined With Chemotherapy as Postoperative Adjuvant Treatment for Phase III Gastric Adenocarcinoma (GC) and The Adenocarcinoma of Esophagogastric Junction (GEJ)

This study is a prospective, single-arm, phase II clinical study. Screening patients with stage III GC/GEJ adenocarcinoma after D2 or broader radical resection. After enrolling in the study, the subjects receive Sintilimab combined with oxaliplatin+Tegafur, Gimeracil and Oteracil Potassium Capsules (SOX) or oxaliplatin+Capecitabine (XELOX) , in which the combined chemotherapy is up to 8 cycles, and the total course of treatment was 16 cycles. The following-up of subjects includes adverse events、disease status、living conditions and the quality of life.

Detailed Description

This study is a prospective, single-arm, phase II clinical study. Screening patients with stage III GC/GEJ adenocarcinoma after D2 or broader radical resection that meets the criteria for group entry and does not meet the exclusion criteria. After signing the informed consent, the subjects entered the trial group to receive adjuvant treatment with Sintilimab combined with chemotherapy (SOX or XELOX ), in which SOX or XELOX chemotherapy was up to 8 cycles, and the total course of treatment was 16 cycles. The efficacy is evaluated every 4 cycles during the study treatment. The frequency of follow-up after treatment is defined as: once every 3 months within 2 years after surgery, every 6 months for 2 to 5 years, and once a year after 5 years. The follow-up interval can be adjusted according to the clinical need. Safety follow-up is from the beginning of the first treatment to 30 days after the last medication.

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.

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
3-year disease free survival(DFS) rate
Time Frame: From the time of first dose of adjuvant treatment to the 3 years of the same day
The disease free survival rate of 3 years after receiving the first dose of treatment
From the time of first dose of adjuvant treatment to the 3 years of the same day

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
DFS
Time Frame: From the time of first dose of adjuvant treatment to the time when the subjects have confirmed disease progress
