rc48 plus ak104 as first-line treatment for her2-overexpressing advanced gastric cancer

Conditions: HER2-positive Gastric Cancer

Summary: a single-arm, single-center phase ii trial study to assess the efficacy and safety of disitamab vedotin plus cadonilimab as first-line therapy for her2-overexpressing advanced stomach carcinoma

this study is a prospective, single-arm, single-center phase ii trial. the purpose of the trial is evaluated disitamab vedotin (rc48) plus cadonilimab (ak104) as first-line therapy for her2-overexpressing advanced stomach carcinoma, and also check the adverse events (aes) when participants are administered the combination treatment regimen. this study will include patients with her2-overexpressing, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer who have not previously received systemic treatment including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. enrolled patients will be treated with disitamab vedotin (2.5mg/kg, d1, ivdrip, q2w) combined with cadonilimab (6mg/kg, d1, ivdrip, q2w) until progressive disease (pd) or intolerable toxicity.
