Tislelizumab with FOLFOX versus POF for unresectable or metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma

Official title: Tislelizumab Plus FOLFOX Versus POF in the Treatment of Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic Gastric/Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma

Run by Fujian Cancer Hospital · NCT06793917 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab to FOLFOX works better than adding it to POF for adults with unresectable or metastatic stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer whose tumors have CPS≥1.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–70 with histologically confirmed unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, CPS≥1, ECOG performance status 0–1, no prior systemic chemotherapy or immunotherapy (with defined perioperative exceptions), and adequate marrow, liver, and renal function are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients older than 70, with ECOG >1, inadequate organ function, recent systemic chemotherapy or immunotherapy, or tumors with CPS <1 are unlikely to qualify or benefit from this trial.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a randomized, open-label Phase III comparison of two tislelizumab-containing chemotherapy combinations in patients with untreated locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma with CPS≥1. Eligible adults (18–70 years) with ECOG 0–1 and adequate organ function are randomized to receive tislelizumab plus FOLFOX or tislelizumab plus POF. Treatment continues until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, with scheduled imaging and laboratory monitoring. The trial captures tumor response, survival outcomes, and safety/adverse event data.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could improve response rates and survival compared with current chemotherapy approaches for CPS≥1 advanced gastric/GEJ cancer.

How similar studies have gone: Other PD‑1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy combinations (for example, nivolumab plus chemotherapy) have shown improved survival in advanced gastric/GEJ cancer, so this approach has supporting evidence.
