Gastric Cancer (GC)

This is a multi-site, open-label, non-randomized, single dose study to assess the clinical utility of \[¹⁸F\]FAPI-74 PET/CT in the detection of metastatic disease in individuals with pathologically confirmed gastric, gastroesophageal junction or esophageal cancer. Following screening, using a standardized administration protocol and dose, participants will undergo \[¹⁸F\]FAPI-74 PET/CT screening. SOC procedures and interventions will be captured during 3 months +/-14 days post injection. The primary objective is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of such \[¹⁸F\]FAPI-74 PET/CT using a composite SOT panel. The maximum expected duration of the trial is approximately 24 months from first patient screening to last patient SOC follow up. The participants will be followed-up for safety for 24 to 72 hours after the dose of \[¹⁸F\]FAPI-74 PET/CT.

Single-centre, open-label, dose escalation phase I clinical trial, designed to evaluate mainly the safety and tolerability of the antitumor drug THE-0504 in patients with different types of solid tumors.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the study drug, OKN4395, administered alone and in combination with pembrolizumab. The overall objectives of this study are to determine the safety and tolerability (degree to which side effects of a drug can be tolerated) of OKN4395 alone and in combination with pembrolizumab, OKN4395 and metabolites (broken-down substances) of OKN4395 levels in the blood, and antitumor activity of OKN4395 alone and in combination with pembrolizumab. This study will be split into 2 parts. Part 1a will look at multiple doses of OKN4395 either alone (monotherapy) or with pembrolizumab (combination therapy) administered on day 1 of each 21-day cycle in patients with solid tumors until the participant has disease progression or discontinues for any reason. The dose of OKN4395 will be increased, after each group of 3 or more participants completes their first 3 weeks of treatment and their data is evaluated for safety, with a planned dose range from 10 mg twice a day to 450 mg twice a day through 13 dose levels. Part 1a also includes a parallel substudy (Substudy 1) consisting of at least 12 participants, aiming to test the effect of food and stomach acid on the levels of OKN4395 in the blood as well as its tolerability. Part 1b will evaluate OKN4395 alone and in combination with pembrolizumab administered on day 1 of each 21-day cycle in patients with selected cancer types. Part 1b will comprise 4 cohorts: Cohort 1 in sarcoma (OKN4395 alone), Cohort 2 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), Cohort 3 in colorectal cancer, and Cohort 4 in gastric cancer (GC), with cohorts 2 to 4 in combination with pembrolizumab. The overall study will enrol approximately 146 participants with up to 54 participants to receive OKN4395 alone and 12 participants to receive OKN4395 in combination with pembrolizumab in Part 1a, and 80 participants in Part 1b split: 20 on monotherapy and 60 on combination therapy. The study will be conducted in the US, Australia, UK and in the EU.

This study includes patients diagnosed with proximal gastric cancer (Siewert type II/III, cT1-3N0-1M0) across six tertiary hospitals, who underwent either double-tract reconstruction (DTR) or tubular gastric anastomosis (TGA). Participants were divided into two groups based on the surgical procedure. We conducted a comparative analysis of postoperative outcomes by evaluating electronic medical records, postoperative gastroscopy, 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring, and relevant rating scales.

Upper digestive tract cancers are often preceded by pre-malignant lesions, but there is limited evidence regarding optimal risk prediction models and screening strategies for disease progression and cancer development. This prospective multicenter cohort study aims to establish a longitudinal database integrating clinical information, endoscopic findings, pathology, genetics, epigenetics, and gastrointestinal microbiota data from subjects undergoing upper digestive tract endoscopy. The study will develop explainable artificial intelligence (AI)-based risk prediction models to identify factors associated with disease progression, treatment response, and cancer development. Participants will be followed longitudinally to evaluate changes in lesion severity and clinical outcomes.

Eligible patients were randomized into two groups: the sodium propionate group and the control group. In the control group, patients received placebo combined with anti-PD-1 therapy plus chemotherapy without additional sodium propionate intervention. In the sodium propionate group, on the basis of anti-PD-1 therapy combined with chemotherapy, patients were additionally administered oral sodium propionate capsules at a dose of 500 mg (1 capsule) twice weekly, with a total intervention duration of 12 weeks. The primary and secondary outcome indicators will be collected for subsequent analysis.

The goal of this interventional clinical study is to learn the safety and preliminary efficacy of XH001 injection (Personalized mRNA tumor neoantigen vaccine) combined with standard adjuvant treatment in treating patients with high-risk recurrent solid tumors after radical surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: What medical problems do participants have when using the combined treatment? Does XH001 injection combined with standard adjuvant treatment induce a specific T-cell response, and can it prolong the patient's relapse-free survival?

Gastric cancer is a common type of cancer that often spreads to the liver. When cancer spreads to the liver, treatment becomes very difficult. Many patients will undergo chemotherapy to shrink the tumor. Currently, doctors use CT or MRI scans to assess the effect of chemotherapy, but these examinations usually take about 2 months to show changes in the size of the tumor. The purpose of this study is to test whether a special type of ultrasound technology called "contrast-enhanced subharmonic ultrasound" can help doctors determine earlier whether chemotherapy is effective compared to conventional scans. This ultrasound detection does not use radiation and can display the blood perfusion status inside liver tumors. We will observe the changes in blood flow perfusion inside the tumor before the start of treatment and after 1-2 chemotherapy cycles to see if these changes can predict whether chemotherapy will be effective in the future. If this test is effective, it will help doctors adjust the treatment plan more quickly, which may improve the treatment effect for gastric cancer patients whose cancer cells have spread to the liver, and also help identify patients who are not responding to chemotherapy as early as possible, reducing the side effects and economic burden of patients.

Gastric cancer is a major global health challenge. Currently, a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy (PD-1 inhibitors) is frequently used before surgery to shrink tumors, a strategy known as neoadjuvant therapy. While this approach is effective for many patients, responses vary significantly, and there are currently no reliable tools to predict which patients will benefit the most before treatment begins. The PRISM-GC study aims to develop and validate a novel Artificial Intelligence (AI) system to address this need. This is a prospective, observational study that will collect data from patients diagnosed with locally advanced gastric cancer who are scheduled to receive standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy in a real-world clinical setting. The specific choice of immunotherapy drug is determined by the treating physician and is not dictated by the study. Researchers will analyze standard preoperative CT scans and pathological tissue slides using advanced deep learning algorithms. The goal is to create a "multimodal" AI model that can accurately predict how well a tumor will respond to treatment (specifically, whether the tumor will disappear or shrink significantly). If successful, this AI tool could help doctors personalize treatment plans in the future, ensuring that each patient receives the most effective therapy while avoiding unnecessary side effects.

The peritoneum is a relatively frequent metastatic site in digestive tumors (colon, stomach, pancreas) and is characterized by a poorer prognosis compared with other metastatic sites such as the lung or liver. Its dissemination pathway is complex and most often involves crossing the hemato-peritoneal barrier. This type of metastasis is difficult to visualize on imaging at an early stage, and surgical exploration may be required. In gastric cancer in particular, exploratory laparoscopy is part of the initial staging work-up for locally advanced tumors to assess the presence or absence of peritoneal metastases. It is therefore important to develop new, less invasive detection or prediction methods. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a promising non-invasive blood biomarker that can assist clinicians as a prognostic/predictive biomarker and/or a tool for monitoring response to anti-tumor therapies. This marker is most often assessed in plasma, but recent data suggest that tumor DNA may also be detected in other biological fluids such as peritoneal fluid. A preliminary study conducted by our team showed the ability to detect tumor DNA in peritoneal fluid from patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of various origins, with a sensitivity of 75%. In gastric cancer, a recent meta-analysis demonstrated an increased risk of peritoneal metastases when peritoneal tumor DNA was positive (RR 13.81 \[95% CI, 8.11-23.53\]), as well as a reduction in 3-year recurrence-free survival (RR 5.37 \[95% CI, 1.39-20.74\]) and overall survival (HR 4.13 \[95% CI, 1.51-11.32\]). The objective of this cohort is to evaluate the prognostic impact of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in plasma and/or peritoneal fluid on the risk of developing peritoneal metastases. The primary endpoint is: Peritoneal recurrence rate according to tumor DNA positivity status (positive vs negative).

Proximal gastric and esophagogastric junction cancers comprise up to 40% of gastric malignancies. For localized disease, proximal gastrectomy is the main radical procedure, but reconstruction of GI tract often leads to significant functional issues. Rising use of proximal resections and broader indications have increased attention to postoperative quality of life (QoL). Common reconstructions include direct esophagogastrostomy (various types), double-tract reconstruction, jejunal interposition, and newer anti-reflux anastomoses (e.g., double-flap, overlap, tunnel techniques). Each method has unique pros and cons regarding reflux esophagitis, food passage, dumping syndrome, nutritional changes, and long-term QoL. No consensus exists on the optimal technique, leading to variable practices and outcomes. Most research focuses on oncologic radicality and survival, while functional results and QoL remain understudied. Systematic evaluation of functional outcomes across reconstruction types after proximal subtotal gastrectomy is needed in Russian Federation to improve QoL, advance research, and standardize treatment of proximal gastric and EGJ cancers.

Alpha-fetoprotein-producing gastric cancer (AFP-positive gastric cancer, AFP-GC), a rare and highly aggressive subtype of gastric cancer, accounts for 1.3% to 15% of all gastric cancer cases. Its clinical features are significantly different from those of common gastric cancer. Not only does it show abnormally elevated serum AFP levels, but it also has a stronger angiogenic ability, a higher rate of distant metastasis, and a poorer prognosis even after a upfront R0 surgery, making it a challenging problem in the field of gastric cancer treatment. Notably, patients with AFP-positive gastric cancer have a relatively low sensitivity to the traditional standard regimens. There is an urgent need to explore targeted treatment strategies to break through the efficacy bottleneck. Combination of sintilimab, bevacizumab and XELOX/SOX for initially unresectable AFP-positive gastric/esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma could be a novel therapeutic strategy to increase response rate and therapeutic efficacy. This study is a multi-center, single-arm phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate efficacy, tolerability and safety of perioperative sintilimab in combination with bevacizumab and XELOX/SOX in initially unresectable AFP-positive gastric/esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma.

This study is a domestic, multicenter, single-arm clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of heterogeneous radiotherapy (high and low dose) sequenced with iparomlimab and tuvonralimab plus SOX as a first-line treatment for unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HER2-negative gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and effectiveness of the investigational drug QLS5132 (injectable) in combination with other therapies for participants with advanced solid tumors. This is a multicenter, open-label study consisting of two parts: dose escalation and tumor-specific expansion. The main questions it aims to answer are: * In the dose-escalation part: What is the safety, tolerability, PK profile, and preliminary efficacy of QLS5132 combination therapy, and what are the recommended dose(s) for expansion? * In the expansion part: What is the anti-tumor efficacy and further safety profile of QLS5132 combination therapy at the selected dose(s) in participants with specific tumor types? Participants will: * Be enrolled in sequential cohorts to receive QLS5132 in combination with other anticancer agents. * Undergo regular assessments for safety, drug concentration levels (PK), and tumor response.

This is a multicenter, open-label, phase 3, randomized, non-inferiority study aimed to investigate the effect on disease-free survival of adjuvant chemotherapy with oxaliplatin plus S-1 compared with adjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel plus S-1 after D2 gastrectomy in patients with stage III gastric cancer.

The study investigates the outcomes of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC) in combination with curative-intent gastrectomy in resectable locally-advanced and limited-metastatic (low peritoneal cancer index) gastric cancer.

The goal of this Phase II clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab (QL1706) combined with SOX chemotherapy (S-1 plus Oxaliplatin) in patients with previously untreated advanced or metastatic gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1、What is the objective response rate (ORR) of the combination of QL1706 and SOX chemotherapy? 2、What are the safety and tolerability of this combination therapy? Participants will： 1. Receive Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab (QL1706) via intravenous infusion every 3 weeks. 2. Receive SOX chemotherapy (Oxaliplatin via intravenous infusion on Day 1 and S-1 orally twice daily for 14 days) every 3 weeks for up to 6 cycles. 3. Continue maintenance therapy with QL1706 combined with S-1 after 6 cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. 4. Undergo tumor imaging assessments (CT or MRI) every 6 weeks for the first 24 weeks, and then every 9 weeks thereafter to monitor the disease.

After obtaining informed consent from the patients, all the medical history and treatment records of the patients who underwent gastroscopy since the onset of the disease, as well as gastric fluid samples, including laboratory and imaging data, were collected and recorded. The medical history and treatment records and gastric fluid samples were analyzed.

The goal of this multicenter, randomized, phase III clinical trial is to test whether robot-assisted radical gastrectomy improves 3-year recurrence-free survival versus laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy in adults aged 18-80 years with previously untreated, resectable cT4a gastric adenocarcinoma and non-bulky lymph nodes; the main questions are whether the robotic approach confers superior RFS and maintains equivalent peri-operative safety (Clavien-Dindo ≥ II complications) and better secondary oncologic outcomes, and participants will be randomized 1:1 to undergo standardized D2 resection via robotic or laparoscopic technique and followed for 5 years with scheduled recurrence, survival, and quality-of-life assessments.

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers remain a major global health burden, largely due to the lack of effective and accessible early screening strategies. Current diagnostic approaches-including endoscopy, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-are either invasive, resource-intensive, or insufficiently sensitive for detecting early-stage disease, and are therefore not suitable for population-wide screening or for simultaneously identifying multiple GI tumor types. As a result, many patients are diagnosed at advanced stages, when therapeutic options are limited and prognosis is poor. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) offer a promising alternative, as they are stable in peripheral blood and reflect tumor-related molecular alterations. In this study, the investigators aim to develop and validate a robust, noninvasive miRNA-based signature capable of distinguishing GI cancers from non-malignant controls. By integrating multi-cohort datasets and applying machine learning-based feature selection and predictive modeling, the investigators will construct a screening panel optimized for reproducibility, scalability, and early-stage detection. This noninvasive miRNA signature has the potential to support accessible, cost-effective, and clinically practical population-level screening for GI cancers, ultimately facilitating earlier diagnosis and improving outcomes for participants.

This randomized controlled trial compares a novel optical technique against the standard of care for assessing tissue perfusion in gastrointestinal surgery. Participants are randomized to receive either intraoperative imaging photoplethysmography (iPPG) or indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging. In the ICG group, the fluorescence data are comprehensively analyzed in two distinct ways: (1) Qualitative Assessment: real-time visual interpretation of the angiogram flow by the operating surgeon; and (2) Quantitative Assessment: software-based analysis of fluorescence kinetics (e.g., time-to-peak, maximum intensity) to generate objective perfusion parameters. The study aims to determine the agreement between the iPPG-based evaluations and both the qualitative and quantitative dimensions of the ICG standard.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the reasonable range of No.4sb lymph node dissection of locally advanced distal gastric cancer.
