Adebrelimab Combined With Famitinib and Irinotecan in Advanced Gastric Cancer After Failure of First-Line Therapy

Adebrelimab Combined With Famitinib Malate and Irinotecan Versus Irinotecan in Patients With Advanced Gastric Cancer After Failure of First-Line Therapy: A Randomized, Controlled, Exploratory Clinical Study

This study employs a randomized, controlled, exploratory clinical trial design, with a planned enrollment of 66 patients who have previously failed systemic chemotherapy for recurrent/metastatic gastric cancer,

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Stomach Neoplasms
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Adebrelimab; Drug: Irinotecan; Drug: Malic acid Famitinib

Detailed Description

Among these, 6 cases were in the safety run-in period, receiving treatment with Adeberlimab combined with Famitinib and Irinotecan. The safety during the first 3 months of medication was observed to determine whether DLT (Dose-Limiting Toxicity) occurred within the treatment cycle. If ≤ 2 subjects experienced DLT, the study would proceed to the extension treatment phase; if > 2 subjects experienced DLT, the study would be terminated.

DLT is defined as the occurrence of any of the following drug-related events during the first treatment cycle: grade 4 hematologic toxicity; grade 3 neutropenia with fever; grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding; or any other grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity (excluding alopecia).

After the safety importation period, patients will enter the extended treatment phase, with an additional 60 cases to be enrolled and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the experimental group or the control group.

The experimental group received treatment with Adeberlimab combined with famitinib maleate and irinotecan until disease progression, intolerable adverse reactions, or death.

The control group received irinotecan treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or death.

  4. Subjects who need to receive corticosteroids (equivalent to>10mg prednisone per day) within 2 weeks prior to the first use of the study drug. Allow the use of hormones for routine chemotherapy pretreatment without the need for dose adjustment. Other special circumstances require communication with the researcher. In the absence of active autoimmune diseases, inhalation or local use of steroids and corticosteroids with a dosage greater than 10mg/day of prednisone efficacy dose are allowed as substitutes for adrenal cortex hormones;
  5. Individuals who have received anti-tumor vaccines or have received live vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the first administration of the study drug;
  6. Having undergone major surgery or suffered severe trauma within 4 weeks prior to the first use of the investigational drug;
