study of the second-line treatment of advanced gastric / gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma with cadonilimab and fruquintinib combined with paclitaxel-albumin

Conditions: Gastric / Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma

Summary: this study is a prospective, open-label, two-arm exploratory phase ii clinical trial aimed at observing and evaluating the efficacy and safety of combined therapy with cadonilimab and fruquintinib in conjunction with paclitaxel-albumin as second-line treatment for advanced gastric/esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma. patients meeting the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups based on whether they had received pd-1/l1 antibody treatment in the first line: group a (immunotherapy-naive group - patients who had previously failed standard chemotherapy in the first line) and group b (immunotherapy rechallenge group - patients who had previously failed pd-1/l1 antibody combined chemotherapy in the first line). all patients received combined therapy with cadonilimab and fruquintinib in conjunction with paclitaxel-albumin until intolerable toxic reactions occurred, disease progression, withdrawal of informed consent by the subject, loss to follow-up, death, other conditions judged by the investigator to require termination of treatment, or termination of the study, whichever occurred first. the maximum duration of paclitaxel-albumin treatment was 6 cycles, and cadonilimab treatment did not exceed 1 year. clinical tumor imaging evaluations were conducted every 8 weeks during treatment using recist v1.1 criteria, and safety assessments were performed using ctcae 5.0, recording adverse events within 30 days from the first dose to the end of treatment.
