About this trial
This is a multicenter, prospective, single-arm, open-label exploratory clinical study evaluating sintilimab combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and optional consolidation chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Eligible participants will receive one cycle of sintilimab plus XELOX induction therapy, followed by sintilimab plus capecitabine concurrent radiotherapy. Optional consolidation with sintilimab plus XELOX may be administered according to treatment response, toxicity recovery, nutritional status, surgical feasibility, and multidisciplinary team assessment. Patients who are considered suitable for surgery will undergo radical resection and regional lymph node dissection. The primary endpoint is pathological complete response rate.

Treatments tested in this trial
Sintilimab
DrugOxaliplatin 130 mg/m² administered by intravenous infusion on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle during induction and optional consolidation XELOX treatment.
Capecitabine
DrugDuring induction and optional consolidation XELOX treatment, capecitabine is administered at 1000 mg/m² orally twice daily on Days 1-14 of each 21-day cycle. During concurrent chemoradiotherapy, capecitabine is administered at 825 mg/m² orally twice daily on radiotherapy days as a radiosensitizer.
Oxaliplatin
DrugOxaliplatin 130 mg/m² administered by intravenous infusion on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle during induction and optional consolidation XELOX treatment.
Radiation
RadiationIntensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) or volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) to the primary tumor and regional lymphatic drainage areas, with a total dose of 45 Gy in 25 fractions, administered 5 days per week for 5 weeks.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Pathological Complete Response Rate
Pathological complete response is defined as no viable tumor cells identified in the primary tumor and regional lymph nodes in the surgical resection specimen after neoadjuvant treatment, corresponding to ypT0N0. The pCR rate is defined as the proportion of participants achieving pCR among participants included in the primary efficacy analysis set.
Secondary outcomes
Major Pathological Response Rate
Tumor Regression Grade
Pathological Downstaging Rate
R0 Resection Rate
