Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with previously untreated, localized (T3-4N+M0) gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma who are fit for surgery (ECOG 0–1), have adequate organ function, and agree to contraception if of childbearing potential are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

Patients with uncontrolled hypertension, known bleeding or clotting disorders, known hypersensitivity to the study drugs, poor performance status, or metastatic disease are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies

This Phase 2, single-center trial at Ruijin Hospital enrolls adults with previously untreated, localized (T3-4N+M0) gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma who are planned for surgery. Participants receive neoadjuvant radiotherapy combined with SOX chemotherapy plus apatinib (a VEGFR2 inhibitor) and camrelizumab (an anti–PD-1 antibody), followed by surgery and adjuvant courses of the same combination. The trial monitors safety, tolerability, and tumor response to see if the perioperative regimen increases rates of successful resection and reduces recurrence. Key eligibility includes ECOG 0–1 and adequate organ function, while patients with uncontrolled hypertension or bleeding disorders are excluded.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could shrink tumors before surgery and reduce post‑surgical recurrence, potentially improving long‑term survival.

How similar studies have gone: Combining chemotherapy with anti–PD-1 agents and VEGFR inhibitors has shown promise in advanced gastric cancer, but using this combination perioperatively with concurrent radiotherapy is less well studied and remains exploratory.
