Conditions: Gastric Carcinoma

Summary: to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of oxaliplatin with oapecitabine（xelox）combined with apatinib as post-operative chemotherapy in locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma with d2 dissection

stage 1 (phase i tolerance study) : 12 patients were enrolled in the dose-climbing study:according to the principle of dose-climbing test,todetermine the subjects' mtd, with the following three dose levels: * capecitabine: 1000 mg/m2 bid d1-14 q3w, oxaliplatin: 130 mg/m2 d1 q3w) + apatinib 250 mg, qd x180d; ②. capecitabine: 1000 mg/m2 bid d1-14 q3w, oxaliplatin: 130 mg/m2 d1 q3w) + apatinib 375 mg, qd x180d; ③. capecitabine: 1000 mg/m2 bid d1-14 q3w, oxaliplatin: 130 mg/m2 d1 q3w) + apatinib 500 mg, qd x180d; stage 2 (phase ii exploratory study) : ①.test group: subjects received 8 cycles of postoperative xelox regimen (capecitabine: 1000 mg/m2 bid d1-14 q3w, oxaliplatin: 130 mg/m2 d1 q3w) + apatinib maximum tolerated dose ②.control group: subjects received 8 cycles of xelox regimen after surgery (capecitabine: 1000 mg/m2 bid d1-14 q3w, oxaliplatin: 130 mg/m2 d1 q3w). eligible patients will receive 8 cycles of postoperative adjuvant therapy and will be followed up to death
