• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2027-08-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Tislelizumab in the neoadjuvant (prior to surgery) or adjuvant (after surgery) treatment of previously untreated adults with gastric and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma.

The primary study hypotheses are that:

Neoadjuvant and adjuvant Tislelizumab plus chemoradiotherapy, followed by adjuvant Tislelizumab and chemotherapy is superior to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy in terms of rate of Pathological Complete Response (pathCR) at the time of surgery.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: The Affiliated Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School
• Treatments: Oxaliplatin; Paclitaxel
