study of camrelizumab (shr-1210) and apatinb based therapies for alpha-fetoprotein (afp)-producing gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma

Conditions: Gastric Cancer

Summary: this is a study of camrelizumab (shr-1210) and apatinb for unresectable recurrent or metastatic alpha-fetoprotein (afp)-producing gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. camrelizumab combined with apatinib and standard chemotherapy will be given to treatment-naïve participants; camrelizumab combined with apatinib will also be evaluated in participants who have had ≥ 1 line of previous treatment. the primary endpoint is the overall response rate (orr).

this study will have 2 cohorts. in cohort 1, participants who have not received any previous therapy for their disease will receive camrelizumab and apatinib in combination with oxaliplatin and s-1. in cohort 2, participants who have received at least one prior therapy for their advanced disease will receive camrelizumab and apatinib. a simon two-stage phase ii design was used for the sample size calculation.

Eligibility criteria:
