About this trial
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.

Has life expectancy of at least 6 months.
Availability of tumor sample prior to study entry.
Disqualifiers

Histopathology or cytology confirmed other pathological types, such as adenosquamous cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or GI stromal tumor.
Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before randomization.
Has received prior anti-cancer therapy for the current malignancy.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Event-free survival (EFS)
EFS is the time from date of randomization until the date of disease progression or death.
Pathological Complete Response (pathCR) Rate
PathCR 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 outcomes
Overall survival (OS)
Overall survival is length of time from randomization until the date of death due to any cause.
Disease-free Survival (DFS)
DFS 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)
An 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.
