What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness and safety of Tislelizumab combined with apatinib, oxaliplatin, and S-1 compared to oxaliplatin and S-1 alone as neoadjuvant therapy for advanced gastric cancer. The study focuses on patients with large Borrmann III and IV types and bulky N positive tumors. Participants will undergo imaging to confirm measurable lesions and will be monitored for treatment response and safety throughout the trial.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve outcomes for patients with advanced gastric cancer by enhancing tumor response before surgery.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar immunotherapy combinations in advanced gastric cancer, indicating potential for success.
