Conditions

Gastric and Gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ) Adenocarcinoma

Brief summary

This study investigates treatment of cadonilimab or placebo combined with SOX chemotherapy (oxaliplatin + tegafur-gimeracil-oteracil potassium) given before surgery (neoadjuvant) and cadonilimab or placebo combined with SOX chemotherapy after surgery (adjuvant), will work and be safe for the treatment of resectable (removable by surgery) gastric or gastroesophageal cancer.

Detailed description

This trial is a Phase 3 study. All patients are resectable gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cadonilimab combined with chemotherapy for perioperative treatment of resectable gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Event-free survival (EFS)Up to 5 yearsEFS is the time from date of randomization until the date of disease progression or death.
Pathological Complete Response (pathCR) RateUp to approximately 2 yearsPathCR rate is defined as the percentage of participants having a pathCR assessed by the investigators. PathCR is defined as no invasive disease within an entirely submitted and evaluated gross lesion, and histologically negative nodes.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall survival (OS)Up to 10 yearsOverall survival is length of time from randomization until the date of death due to any cause.
Disease-free Survival (DFS)Up to 5 yearsDFS is defined as the time from post-surgery baseline scan until the first occurrence of local or distant recurrence or death from any cause.
Number of Participants Who Experience One or More Adverse Events (AEs)Up to 5 yearsAn AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment.
