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

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Event-free survival (EFS)

EFS is the time from date of randomization until the date of disease progression or death.

Time frame
Up to 5 years
2

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.

Time frame
Up to approximately 2 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Overall survival (OS)

Overall survival is length of time from randomization until the date of death due to any cause.

Time frame
Up to 10 years
2

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.

Time frame
Up to 5 years
3

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.

Time frame
