Efficacy of Tirellizumab Combined With Oral, Intravenous and Abdominal Chemotherapy in Peritoneal Metastatic Gastric/Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma

For peritoneal metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (cT3-4NanyM1), PD-1 antibody combined with chemotherapy and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) can downstage tumor stage, increase the conversion resection rate, and may improve the long-term survival. Tislelizumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, has recently been proved in the first- and second-line standard treatment for advanced or metastatic gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.In the subgroup analysis of RATIONALE-305 trial, tislelizumab also showed good efficacy in gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma patients with peritoneal metastasis. Combination of tirellizumab,SOX and HIPEC for peritoneal metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma could be a novel therapeutic strategy to increase response rate and therapeutic efficacy. This study is a monocenter, single-arm phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate tolerability, safety and efficacy of perioperative tirellizumab in combination with SOX and HIPEC in peritoneal metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

The incidence of gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma is increasing, and it is one of the most common malignant tumors in China. Surgery is the only possible way to cure gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Peritoneal metastasis is one of the most common modes of spread of gastric cancer. For gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis, surgical treatment alone can not improve overall survival. Perioperative immunotherapy plus chemotherapy can downstage tumor T and N stage, increase the R0 resection rate, and may improve the long-term survival. Currently, surgical treatment combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and systemic chemotherapy has demonstrated promising outcomes in both the treatment and prevention of peritoneal metastasis in gastric cancer. However, the therapeutic effects of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy and HIPEC for gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis remains unclear to date. Combination of perioperative tislelizumab and SOX plus HIPEC for peritoneal metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma could be a novel therapeutic strategy to increase conversion resection rate and overall survival. This monocenter, single-arm phase 2 clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of tislelizumab plus SOX and HIPEC regimens in patients with peritoneal metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma to determine the optimal therapeutic approach.
