Conversion Therapy With RC48, Sintilimab, and SOX for HER2 1+/2+ Unresectable Gastric Cancer

Recruiting now · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Gastric Cancer

In brief

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of disitamab vedotin in combination with sintilimab and SOX as conversion therapy in patients with initially unresectable locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer exhibiting HER2 IHC 1+/2+ expression. The trial plans to enroll patients with a single initial unresectable factor and HER2 IHC 1+/2+ status. Participants will receive disitamab vedotin combined with sintilimab and SOX for 4 to 6 treatment cycles. Those who achieve successful conversion will undergo surgical resection, while patients with unsuccessful conversion will either continue the original regimen or switch to an alternative treatment at the investigator's discretion.

You may not qualify if…

History of malignancies other than gastric cancer, with the following exceptions:
Malignancies treated with curative intent and with no evidence of disease for 5 years;
Adequately treated basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial bladder cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, or other in situ carcinomas.
Conditions affecting the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of the investigational drug(s) (e.g., severe vomiting, chronic diarrhea, intestinal obstruction, malabsorption, etc.).
Previous allogeneic stem cell or solid organ transplantation.
Prior systemic antitumor therapy (including Chinese herbal medicine with antitumor indications) completed less than 4 weeks before the first dose of study treatment, or with prior treatment-related adverse events not recovered to ≤ CTCAE grade 1 (except for alopecia or pigmentation).
History or presence of congenital or acquired immunodeficiency disorders.
Active or previously documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders (including but not limited to autoimmune hepatitis, interstitial pneumonia, inflammatory bowel disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, vasculitis, uveitis, hypophysitis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, asthma requiring bronchodilators, etc.). Patients with vitiligo, childhood asthma that has fully resolved without intervention in adulthood, or other conditions deemed eligible by the investigator may be included.
Use of systemic immunosuppressive therapy within 2 weeks prior to enrollment, or anticipated need for such therapy during the study, with the following exceptions:

History of thrombotic or thromboembolic events within the past 6 months, such as stroke and/or transient ischemic attack, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, etc.
Patients assessed by the physician to be at significant risk of bleeding, including but not limited to:
Major bleeding (>30 mL within 3 months) or hemoptysis (>5 mL within 4 weeks); endoscopic evaluation may be performed to confirm eligibility;
Active bleeding or coagulation disorders;
Bleeding tendency or current use of thrombolytic, anticoagulant, or antiplatelet therapy.
