About this trial
This Phase II clinical study is a prospective, open-label, single-arm trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining anti-PD-1 therapy (Serplulimab) with thymalfasin and the SOX chemotherapy regimen as a neoadjuvant treatment for patients with clinical stage III gastric or gastroesophageal junction(GEJ) adenocarcinoma.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
pathological Complete Response (pCR)
pCR was defined as no residual tumor cells on the histologic examination of surgical specimens.
Secondary outcomes
Major Pathological Response (MPR)
For patients with surgically resectable gastric cancer after neoadjuvant therapy, the proportion of patients with less than 10% residual tumor cells in the primary site.
Tumor Regression Grade (TRG)
It is intended to grade the pathological response of tumor after neoadjuvant therapy and generally divide the grade mainly according to the proportion of fibrosis and residual tumor in the tumor. In this study, Becker criteria are used to grade TGR as follows: TRG1a (no residual tumor), equivalent to pCR; TRG1b (\< 10% residual tumor); TRG2 (10% to 50% residual tumor); and TRG3 (\> 50% residual tumor).
Clinical downstaging rate (T and/or N downstaging)
ypT0 ratio, ypN0 ratio, and preoperative imaging clinical stage will be counted, respectively, to compare with baseline imaging clinical stage downstaging ratio
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
It refers to the proportion of patients whose tumor shrinks to a certain extent and remains for a certain period of time, including CR (Complete Response) and PR (Partial Response) cases. Objective tumor response will be assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1 criteria).
