About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Gastric Cancer

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Histologically confirmed, UICC stage IV gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer;
  • no prior systematic anti-cancer treatment and relapse or metastases was occurred more than 12 months after adjuvant chemotherapy;
  • at least one measurable lesion;
  • received radiotherapy 3 weeks before recruitment, but the lesion undergoing radiotherapy could not be used to calculate clinical benefit using RECISET criteria;
  • ECOG performance status 0-1;
  • the main organ function to meet the following criteria: HB ≥ 90g / L, ANC ≥ 1.5 × 109 / L, PLT ≥ 80 × 109 / L,BIL <1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), ALT and AST <2.5 × ULN and if liver metastases, BIL < 3 × ULN, ALT and AST <5 × ULN; Serum Cr ≤ 1.5 × ULN;
  • Patient's written declaration of consent obtained;
  • Estimated life expectancy > 3 months;

Exclusion Criteria:

  • harboring HER2 positive including IHC 3+ or IHC 2+ with Fish positive;
  • dMMR/MSI-H;
  • Myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, Grade III or IV heart failure (NYHA classification);
  • have received anlotinib or other immune checkpoint inhibitor ;
  • with known or clinically suspected brain metastases, autoimmune disease, organ transplantation ;
  • severe wounds or surgery 4 weeks before recruitment;
  • received glucocorticoid (more than 10mg prednisone ) and immunosuppressive agents;
  • History of a second malignancy during the past 5 years before inclusion in the study or during participation in the study, with the exception of a dermal basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ, if these were treated curatively.
  • pregnancy or breast feeding;
  • absent or restricted legal capacity;
  • a significant concomitant disease which, in the investigating physician's opinion, rules out the patient's participation in the study

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of Anlotinib wiht Toripalimab in advanced gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer as first-line treatment.
Detailed Description
Anlotinib is a new, orally administered tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR), platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFR), and c-kit. Toripalimab is a humanized immunoglobulin (Ig) G4 monoclonal antibody directed against the negative immunoregulatory human cell surface receptor programmed cell death 1 (programmed death-1; PD-1), with potential immune checkpoint inhibitory and antineoplastic activities. In the present study, we design a single-arm, single center Phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of Anlotinib wiht Toripalimab in advanced gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer as first-line treatment.
