Total Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy Plus Chemotherapy for Locally Advanced Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma (TNICE-1)
A Multicenter, Prospective Study of Total Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy Combined With Chemotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma: The TNICE-1 Study
This study is for people with locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the stomach or of the junction between the stomach and esophagus (gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma) that can be removed by surgery. Serplulimab (an anti-PD-1 antibody) has been approved in China for use around the time of surgery in this type of cancer. This study will evaluate a treatment approach called total neoadjuvant therapy, in which all planned immunotherapy plus chemotherapy is given before surgery.
About 42 patients will take part at 2 hospitals in China. All participants will receive serplulimab plus the SOX regimen (oxaliplatin and S-1) before surgery, followed by surgical removal of the tumor. All treatment is given before surgery. After surgery, participants will not receive additional chemotherapy or immunotherapy. They will be followed regularly with examinations and tests to check for any return of the cancer.
Researchers will collect tumor tissue, blood, and stool samples before, during, and after treatment. These samples will be used to study how the tumor and the immune system change during treatment, including the immune cells inside the tumor, the tumor's genetic features, and traces of tumor DNA in the blood. Researchers will also grow mini-tumors (organoids) from patients' tumor tissue in the laboratory to test how the tumor responds to drugs.
The study will measure how completely the tumor shrinks or disappears after treatment, the side effects participants experience, and how long participants remain free of cancer after surgery. Participants will be followed regularly after treatment ends.

Detaljert beskrivelse
This is a multicenter, prospective clinical study of total neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced, resectable gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. All participants receive a uniform regimen of the anti-PD-1 antibody serplulimab combined with the SOX regimen(oxaliplatin and S-1) administered entirely before surgery (total neoadjuvant approach), followed by radical gastrectomy. Unlike approved perioperative strategies in which immunotherapy is continued after surgery as maintenance monotherapy, this study administers the entire planned course of immunochemotherapy before surgery and does not administer any postoperative systemic therapy. The total neoadjuvant approach is intended to maximize treatment delivery while patients are treatment-naive and physiologically fit, to avoid postoperative complications delaying or preventing adjuvant therapy, and to allow pathological response at surgery to serve as an in vivo readout of treatment efficacy.
The study is embedded in a comprehensive translational research program. Longitudinal biospecimens (tumor tissue, peripheral blood, ascites if present, and stool) are collected at predefined time points. Exploratory research includes multiplex immunohistochemistry (mIHC), spatial transcriptomics, single-cell RNA sequencing, whole-exome sequencing, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)-based minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring, patient-derived organoid (PDO) drug screening, gut microbiome profiling, and development of an artificial-intelligence-based model to predict treatment response. Because no postoperative therapy is administered, postoperative ctDNA-based MRD assessment is used for risk stratification and to inform individualized surveillance strategies. These analyses aim to identify biomarkers of response and resistance to total neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy and to support individualized perioperative treatment strategies.
