About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Tislelizumab in the neoadjuvant (prior to surgery) or adjuvant (after surgery) treatment of previously untreated adults with gastric and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma.

The primary study hypotheses are that:

Neoadjuvant and adjuvant Tislelizumab plus chemoradiotherapy, followed by adjuvant Tislelizumab and chemotherapy is superior to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy in terms of rate of Pathological Complete Response (pathCR) at the time of surgery.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Has previously untreated localized gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma as defined by T3~4aN+M0 or T4bNanyM0 (AJCC Version 8)

Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 to 1

Has adequate organ function.

Male participants of childbearing potential must agree to use an adequate method of contraception for the course of the study through 180 days after the last dose of chemotherapy.

Disqualifiers

Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 5 years. Note: Participants with basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma in situ that have undergone potentially curative therapy are not excluded.

Has received prior systemic anti-cancer therapy including investigational agents for the current malignancy.

Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy.

Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or has current pneumonitis.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Pathological Complete Response (pathCR) Rate

PathCR rate is defined as the percentage of participants having a pathCR. pathCR is defined as no invasive disease within an entirely submitted and evaluated gross lesion, and histologically negative nodes.

Time frame
Up to approximately 22 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Event-free Survival (EFS) Per Response Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1)

EFS is based on RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the investigator and is defined as the time from randomization to the first of the following events: radiographic disease progression per RECIST 1.1; local or distant recurrence as assessed by CT scan or biopsy if indicated (for participants who are disease free after surgery); clinical progression as evidenced by peritoneal carcinomatosis confirmed by preoperative laparoscopy or laparotomy (for participants who are confirmed to be free of peritoneal involvement by laparoscopy at screening); or death due to any cause. A second primary malignancy, or radiographic progressive disease (PD) during the neoadjuvant phase that does not preclude successful surgery (i.e., disease free after surgery), are not considered EFS events.

Time frame
Up to approximately 2 years
2

Overall Survival (OS)

OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.

Time frame
Up to approximately 2 years
