About this trial

Chemotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and anti-angiogenic targeted therapies have been explored in combination for neoadjuvant and conversion therapies. However, the efficacy of the novel anti-angiogenic agent fruquintinib in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors and chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant and conversion treatment of locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer has not been reported. This study aims to observe the efficacy and safety of fruquintinib combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors and chemotherapy in real-world settings.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥18 years and ≤75 years;

Either gender;

Disqualifiers

History of other primary malignant tumors, except: (1) complete remission of malignant tumors at least 2 years before enrollment and no need for other treatment during the study period; (2) adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or malignant melanoma without evidence of disease recurrence; (3) adequately treated in situ carcinoma.

Conversion therapy cohort: Diagnosis of HER2-positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

Conversion therapy cohort: Evidence of distant metastases beyond oligometastases as defined in the inclusion criteria before the first dose of study treatment (such as brain, bone, etc.).

Female patients who are pregnant or lactating.

Trial population

Histologically confirmed gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. For neoadjuvant therapy cohort: candidates for Initial potentially curative surgery with cII, cIII, or cIVA stage disease (\>cT2N0-3M0 or cT0-4N+M0); no distant metastasis. For conversion therapy cohort: patients with locally advanced unresectable or stage IV metastatic disease (per AJCC 8th edition).

Treatments tested in this trial

  • fruquintinib combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors and chemotherapy

    Combination product

    Chemotherapy Drugs: Selection based on clinical guidelines/indications and patient condition.For example, recommended chemotherapy regimens: XELOX or SOX. Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: Selection based on clinical guidelines/indications and patient condition, including but not limited to PD-1 inhibitors, PD-L1 inhibitors. Fruquintinib: 3mg (starting dose), PO (once daily). Dosing schedule and dosage can be adjusted based on concurrent chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Have received fruquintinib treatment for at least 2 cycles.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Corhot1: Pathological Complete Response Rate (pCR)

Pathological Complete Response Rate (pCR), defined as no residual tumor cells in the surgical specimen of the primary tumor and lymph nodes (ypT0N0); corresponds to TRG grade 0.

Time frame
Time from the first treatment up to 12 weeks
2

Corhot2: R0 surgical conversion rate

R0 surgical conversion rate:The proportion of subjects who achieve complete R0 resection of both the primary gastric lesion and any metastases among all subjects receiving the conversion therapy regimen.

Time frame
Time from the first treatment up to 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Corhot1: R0 resection rate

R0 resection rate: Defined as the proportion of subjects achieving negative margins among those who underwent surgical treatment.

Time frame
Time from the first treatment up to 12 weeks
2

Corhot1: Event-Free Survival (EFS)

Event-Free Survival (EFS): Time from initiation of neoadjuvant study treatment until first documented progression, recurrence/metastasis, or death from any cause (whichever occurs first, without progression/recurrence at the time of death).

Time frame
Time from the first treatment up to 2 years.
3

Corhot1: 1-year Event-Free Survival (EFS) rate

1-year Event-Free Survival rate: Survival rate of patients who, from initiation of neoadjuvant study treatment, have not experienced progression, recurrence/metastasis, or death from any cause at 12 months.

Time frame
Time from the first treatment up to 12 months.
4

Corhot1 and Corhot2: Overall Survival (OS)

Overall Survival (OS): Time from the first study treatment until death from any cause.

Time frame
Time from the first treatment up to 2 years.
