Gastric Adenocarcinoma, Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma, Mismatch Repair Deficient or MSI-High Solid Tumors, Immunotherapy
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a randomized, non-comparative, open-label, two-arm phase II clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant therapy with adebrelimab plus induction chemotherapy versus adebrelimab plus SHR-8086 in patients with dMMR/MSI-H gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
Interventions
Participants in both arms will receive neoadjuvant adebrelimab 1200mg intravenously on day 1 of a 21-day cycle for four cycles.
Participants assigned to arm 1 will receive neoadjuvant XELOX (capecitabine 1000 mg/m² orally twice daily on days 1-14 plus oxaliplatin 130 mg/m² intravenously on day 1) for one cycle.
Participants assigned to arm 2 will receive SHR-8068 280 mg administered intravenously on day 1 for one cycle.
Curative-intent D2 radical gastrectomy is scheduled 4-6 weeks after completion of the fourth cycle.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pathological complete response (pCR) rate | From randomization to the date of surgery, an average of 14 weeks. | The proportion of participants in whom no viable tumor cells remain in the primary tumor bed and regional lymph nodes (ypT0N0). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
