Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with histopathologically confirmed stage III gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma who have undergone D2 surgery.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with prior neoadjuvant treatments, tumor relapse, or other malignancies may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This phase II clinical study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sintilimab combined with chemotherapy in patients with stage III gastric adenocarcinoma and esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma following radical resection. Participants will receive either the SOX or XELOX chemotherapy regimen for a total of 16 cycles, with efficacy assessed every four cycles. The study includes comprehensive follow-up to monitor adverse events, disease status, and quality of life for up to five years post-treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve survival rates and quality of life for patients with advanced gastric cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Similar studies combining immunotherapy with chemotherapy have shown promising results, indicating potential for success in this approach.
