Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for gastric cancer using oxaliplatin and S-1
Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Phase III Study Evaluating Different Cycles of Oxaliplatin Combined With S-1 (SOX) as Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Patients With Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer: RESONANCE-II Trial
Run by Chinese PLA General Hospital · NCT04483076 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if a combination of two drugs, oxaliplatin and S-1, can help people with advanced stomach cancer by shrinking their tumors before surgery.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are non-bedridden adults aged 18 to 70 with histologically confirmed stage III gastric adenocarcinoma.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with stable or progressive disease after initial chemotherapy cycles may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
The RESONANCE-II trial is a multicenter, randomized, controlled phase III study aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of different cycles of SOX (oxaliplatin combined with S-1) as neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. A total of 524 patients will receive three cycles of SOX, followed by tumor response evaluation. Those achieving complete or partial response will be assigned to either continue with three additional cycles of SOX before surgery or proceed directly to surgery after the initial cycles. The primary endpoint is the rate of pathological complete response, with secondary endpoints including resection rates and survival outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve surgical outcomes and survival rates for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in gastric cancer, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
