Phase 2
A Randomized Controlled Study of Serplulimab Combined With Chemotherapy for Locally Advanced Gastric Adenocarcinoma
Condition(s) studied
Gastric Cancer Stage III
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
FLOT (Fluorouracil+Leucovorin+Oxaliplatin+Docetaxel)+SerplulimabFLOT (Fluorouracil+Leucovorin+Oxaliplatin+Docetaxel)
FLOT (Fluorouracil+Leucovorin+Oxaliplatin+Docetaxel)+Serplulimab: The subjects will first receive four cycles of neoadjuvant FLOT (Fluorouracil+Leucovorin+Oxaliplatin+Docetaxel) combined with serplulimab treatment, administered once every two weeks (Q2W). Imaging assessments will be conducted after the completion of the 2nd and 4th cycles of neoadjuvant therapy, followed by standard surgery. Postoperatively, they will continue with four cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy based on fluoropyrimidine combined with serplulimab, starting 4-6 weeks after surgery.

Study summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if FLOT chemotherapy combined with serplulimab can improve the pathological complete response (pCR) rate in patients with stage III gastric cancer. The main question it aims to answer is:
Can FLOT chemotherapy combined with serplulimab improve the pathological complete response (pCR) rate in patients with stage III gastric cancer? Researchers will compare serplulimab with a blank control group to see if it can improve the pathological complete response (pCR) rate in patients with stage III gastric cancer.
Participants will :
Receive serplulimab combined with FLOT chemotherapy or FLOT chemotherapy alone every 2 weeks Undergo imaging assessments at 4 weeks and 8 weeks Undergo surgery based on imaging results after 8 weeks Receive postoperative serplulimab combined with adjuvant chemotherapy or adjuvant chemotherapy alone

5. Generally in good condition, with an ECOG performance status of 0-1, and no contraindications to surgery;
6. Physical condition and organ function allow for major abdominal surgery;
7. Expected survival ≥ 3 months;
8. Laboratory test results within 7 days prior to enrollment must meet the following criteria:
1. WBC \> 3.50 × 10⁹/L and \< 9.50 × 10⁹/L, ANC \> 1.5 × 10⁹/L, Hb ≥ 80 g/L, PLT ≥ 100 × 10⁹/L;
2. Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN, AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 × ULN;
3. Creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN or serum clearance \> 60 ml/min;
4. INR and aPTT ≤ 1.5 × ULN (for subjects not receiving anticoagulation therapy); subjects receiving anticoagulants must be on a stable dose;
9. Demonstrates good compliance and is able to cooperate with the study protocol's laboratory, auxiliary examinations, and relevant specimen collection;
10. Women of childbearing potential (including those in menopause due to chemotherapy or other medical reasons) must agree to use contraception from the time of signing the ICF to at least 5 months after the last dose of study treatment or concurrent chemotherapy (whichever is later). They must also agree not to breastfeed during this period. Men must agree to use contraception from the initiation of the study drug to at least 7 months after the last dose of study drug or concurrent chemotherapy (whichever is later).
Exclusion Criteria:
1. HER2-positive status, defined as IHC3+ or IHC2+ with FISH+; or known MSI-H/dMMR.
2. Tumor involvement of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ).
3. Known allergy to citric acid monohydrate, sodium citrate dihydrate, mannitol, or polysorbate (components of the investigational drug).
4. History or concurrent diagnosis of other malignancies (excluding completely resected basal cell carcinoma, stage I squamous cell carcinoma, carcinoma in situ, mucosal carcinoma, superficial bladder cancer, or any other cancer with no recurrence for at least 5 years).
5. Uncontrolled pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, ascites, gastrointestinal bleeding, or high bleeding risk within 2 weeks prior to enrollment.
6. Weight loss exceeding 20% within 2 weeks prior to enrollment.
7. Inability to take oral medication.
8. History of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, or surgery for gastric cancer.
9. Previous treatment with anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, or anti-CTLA-4 antibodies (or any other antibody targeting T-cell co-stimulatory or checkpoint pathways).
10. Tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment within 2 weeks prior to enrollment.
11. Long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs or systemic/local corticosteroids at immunosuppressive doses (e.g., \>10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent).
12. Vaccination with any anti-infective vaccine (e.g., influenza, varicella) within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
13. Uncontrolled systemic diseases, such as diabetes or hypertension.
14. Current or required anticoagulant therapy (except for low-dose aspirin used as antiplatelet therapy).
15. Active autoimmune diseases or history of autoimmune diseases (e.g., interstitial pneumonitis, uveitis, colitis, hepatitis, hypophysitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism; exceptions include vitiligo or childhood asthma resolved without intervention; patients requiring bronchodilators for asthma are excluded).
16. Active tuberculosis (TB), ongoing anti-TB treatment, or anti-TB treatment within 1 year prior to screening.
17. History of lung diseases confirmed by imaging (preferably CT) or clinical results, such as interstitial pneumonia, non-infectious pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis, or acute lung diseases.
