About this trial
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether perioperative ivonescimab in combination with S-1 and oxaliplatin (SOX) is effective in treating locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. The study will also assess the safety profile of this treatment regimen.
Primary Objective:
To determine whether perioperative ivonescimab plus SOX improves the pathological complete response (pCR) rate compared with SOX alone in patients with locally advanced gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma.
Study Design:
Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either ivonescimab plus SOX or SOX alone to evaluate the potential added benefit of ivonescimab in this setting.
Participation Details:
Participants will receive the assigned treatment (ivonescimab plus SOX or SOX alone) every 21 days for approximately 4 months.
They will visit the clinic once every 3 weeks for evaluations, laboratory tests, and monitoring.
Participants will be asked to keep a daily diary to record any symptoms or side effects experienced during the study.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Age 18-75 years.
Histologically confirmed gastric or gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) adenocarcinoma.
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1.
Clinically staged as T3-4a N+ M0 by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Disqualifiers
Known mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) or microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) tumor.
Uncontrolled hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg despite optimized antihypertensive therapy, or hypertension complicated by acute events (e.g., hypertensive crisis, hypertensive encephalopathy) that cannot be stably controlled.
