About this trial

This is an open-label, prospective, interventional study designed to enroll 34 patients with locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, aiming to evaluate and observe the efficacy and safety of QL1706 in combination with DOS for the treatment of locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Enrolled patients will receive iparomlimab and tuvonralimab in combination with the DOS regimen (docetaxel + oxaliplatin + S-1) administered in 21-day treatment cycles. Subjects who complete 3-4 cycles of treatment and are deemed suitable for surgery will undergo gastrectomy, with the specific interval between neoadjuvant therapy and surgery determined by the investigator based on actual clinical circumstances. Following surgery, clinicians will administer postoperative treatment according to the postoperative pathological assessment results and the clinical practice treatment principles of the study center. The primary endpoint is the pathological complete response rate assessed by postoperative pathological evaluation.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Pathological Complete Response Rate (pCR Rate)

Defined as the proportion of patients with no residual tumor cells in the resected tumor tissue and regional lymph nodes upon pathological evaluation.

Time frame
Perioperative, upon postoperative pathological evaluation

Secondary outcomes

1

R0 Resection Rate

The proportion of patients with microscopically margin-negative resection, with no residual tumor cells either macroscopically or microscopically, and complete resection of the lesion.

Time frame
Perioperative, upon postoperative pathological evaluation
2

Major Pathological Response Rate (MPR Rate)

Defined as the proportion of patients with ≤10% residual viable tumor cells in the postoperative pathological specimen.

Time frame
Perioperative, upon postoperative pathological evaluation
3

Objective Response Rate (ORR)

The proportion of patients achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by RECIST version 1.1 criteria.

Time frame
On Day 1 of every 2 cycles (each cycle is 21 days), prior to surgery
4

Disease Control Rate (DCR)

The proportion of patients achieving CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) among evaluable patients as assessed by RECIST version 1.1 criteria.

Time frame
On Day 1 of every 2 cycles (each cycle is 21 days), prior to surgery

Other outcomes

1

Peripheral blood ctDNA Biomarker

Serial peripheral blood samples are collected at baseline and during neoadjuvant treatment. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) molecular profiles are detected by next-generation sequencing. The exploratory analysis aims to evaluate the correlation between dynamic ctDNA alterations and treatment efficacy and safety outcomes.

Time frame
Baseline and on Day 1 of every 2 cycles (each cycle is 21 days, synchronized with imaging evaluation), until prior to surgery
2

Peripheral blood multi-omics biomarker levels

Serial peripheral blood samples are collected at baseline and during neoadjuvant treatment. Genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic multi-omics profiles in peripheral blood are detected using a multi-omics sequencing platform. Exploratory analyses are performed to explore the association between peripheral blood multi-omics molecular features and treatment efficacy and safety.

Time frame
Baseline and on Day 1 of every 2 cycles (each cycle is 21 days, synchronized with imaging evaluation), until prior to surgery
3

Tumor tissue multi-omics and tumor microenvironment immune signatures

Tumor specimens including fresh tissues and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) sections are collected at baseline (pre-treatment biopsy) and immediately after radical gastrectomy. Baseline and post-operative tumor tissues are subjected to genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic multi-omics sequencing to characterize tumor biomarkers and tumor microenvironment immune molecular features. All tissue collections do not interfere with routine clinical pathological diagnosis, and are performed with written informed consent. Exploratory analyses will investigate the associations between tissue molecular signatures and treatment efficacy and safety outcomes.

Time frame
Baseline (pre-treatment biopsy) and perioperative (immediately after radical gastrectomy)
