Recurrent or Metastatic Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma Who Have Failed at Least Two Prior Lines of Therapy
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a single-arm, multicenter, phase 2 study to assess the efficacy and safety of Toripalimab Injection (JS001) in patients with advanced recurrent or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma who have failed at least 2 prior lines of therapy and are positive for specific markers. Patients who meet the requirements will be treated with Toripalimab injection 240 mg once every 3 weeks (q3w) until disease progression based on imaging according to RECIST 1.1 criteria judged by the investigator, or intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal of informed consent, or withdrawal of treatment judged by the investigator, or voluntarydiscontinuation of treatment by the patient with CR of more than 6 months, or up to 2 years of treatment for JS001, whichever occurs first. For the case that the patient shows disease progression on imaging according to RECIST 1.1, as long as the investigator judges that the patient can still benefit from continued medication, the treatment with Toripalimab Injection can be continued until the progression on imaging assessed by the investigator for the second time. The clinical benefit is based on the results of comprehensive assessment by the investigator in combination with imaging findings and clinical condition when the patient has no intolerable toxicity or the symptoms worsen due to disease progression. Tumor assessments are performed at screening (as the baseline), every 6 weeks from the first dose in the first year, and every 9 weeks from the second year until radiologically documented progressive disease (PD), or second disease progression judged by the investigator (for patients with disease progression shown by first imaging, but who can continue treatment judged by the investigator), or withdrawal of informed consent by the patient, or loss to follow-up, or start of a new anti-tumor therapy, or the termination of the study. If a patient withdraws from the study for reasons other than disease progression (including due to the AE or because the treatment interval is beyond the window) and no disease progression occurs at the time of withdrawal, radiographic assessments should be continued until disease progression, death, or start of a new anti-tumor therapy. Patient medication management is based on the investigator's tumor assessment.
Interventions
Experimental group: Toripalimab, 240mg, IV infusion, every 3 weeks (q3w), In a cycle of 3 weeks (21 days), until occurrence of termination event specified in the protocol.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma; 4.

First-line treatment must be combination regimen of two or more chemotherapy drugs and disease progression occurs; or distant metastasis or local recurrence within 6 months after completion of radical neoadjuvant chemotherapy or adjuvant chemotherapy (or chemoradiotherapy) based on platinum-based combination chemotherapy, which can be considered as progression after first-line treatment; 2. Second-line treatment includes but is not limited to chemotherapy, anti-angiogenic therapy and disease progression occurs; 3. Patients known to be HER2-positive require treatment with approved anti-HER2 targeted agents. 4. The interval between the end of systemic treatment and the first study drug administration is at least 4 weeks (the washout period of oral fluorouracil drugs is 2 weeks); 5. Previous tumor samples or fresh tumor tissue biopsy samples can be provided, and any of the following biomarkers are confirmed positive by the central laboratory: 1)PD-L1 positive: defined as PD-L1 staining positive at any intensity in ≥5% tumor cells (TC) or ≥10% immune cells (IC); 2)Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) positive: defined as positive for EBV-encoded small RNA in situ hybridization (EBER-ISH); 3)Tumor mutation burden-high (TMB-H): tumor tissues will be detected by whole exome sequencing (WES), with tumor mutation burden ≥12 Muts/Mb; 4)Microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H): Tumor tissue is tested by whole exome sequencing (WES) to confirm MSI-H positivity; 6. at least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1 assessment criteria; 7. expected survival ≥3 months; 8. According to the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) criteria (Section 11.2 Appendix 2), the performance status score is 0 or 1; 9. Good organ function: 1. Hematology (no blood transfusion or colony-stimulating factor and thrombopoietin 14 days before the first study drug administration) Neutrophil count≥1.5×109/L; Thrombocyte count≥100×109/L; Hemoglobin≥90 g/L; 2. Kidney function Serum creatinine≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or Calculated creatinine clearance by referring to the Cockcroft-Gault formula (Section 11.6 Appendix 6) or site practice≥50 mL/min; 3. Hepatic function Bilirubin total≤1.5 x ULN or ≤3 x ULN (patients with known Gilbert's disease) ; ALT/AST≤3 x ULN (without liver metastasis) or ≤5 x ULN (in case of liver metastases) ; Alkaline phosphatase≤3 x ULN (without liver and bone metastasis) or ≤5 x ULN (in case of liver or bone metastasis) ; Albumin≥30 g/L; 4.

Adverse events and/or complications caused by any previous treatment, including surgery or radiotherapy, have been fully relieved and must have been relieved to grade 0 or 1 \[according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE 5.0)\]; except for alopecia/pigmentation of any grade and long-term toxicity caused by other treatments, which cannot be recovered and does not affect the study drug administration/compliance and patient safety in the judgment of the investigator; 11.
