What this trial studies
This Phase II trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of cadonilimab combined with chemotherapy, with or without AK117, in patients with resectable gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Participants must have a confirmed diagnosis and meet specific health criteria, including an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of this combination treatment as a neoadjuvant therapy before surgery.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve outcomes for patients with resectable gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is being explored in this trial, similar combination therapies have shown promise in other studies, indicating potential for success.
