Phase II Study of Trastuzumab Rezetecan Combined With Retlirafusp Alfa With or Without CAPOX as Perioperative Therapy for Resectable Locally Advanced Gastric/Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma

This two-stage, multicenter, randomized open-label phase II trial enrolls untreated resectable stage II-III gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma patients with any HER2 expression. Stage 1 is a safety lead-in cohort of 6 patients receiving Trastuzumab Rezetecan(SHR-A1811)+Retlirafusp alfa(SHR-1701) plus CAPOX to assess dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) within 21 days after initial dosing. If safety risk is acceptable, stage 2 will randomize 74 eligible patients 1:1 into two parallel cohorts stratified by HER2 status. Cohort1 receives perioperative Trastuzumab Rezetecan(SHR-A1811)+Retlirafusp alfa(SHR-1701)+CAPOX; Cohort2 receives dual targeted-immunotherapy without chemotherapy (Trastuzumab Rezetecan+Retlirafusp alfa). All patients undergo D2 radical gastrectomy after neoadjuvant therapy, followed by adjuvant treatment and Retlirafusp alfa(SHR-1701) maintenance up to maximum 17 total cycles. The primary endpoint is pCR rate evaluated by CAP pathological criteria. Secondary endpoints include R0 resection rate, EFS, DFS, OS and perioperative/surgical/systemic safety profiles. Biomarker exploratory analysis will be performed to evaluate the correlation between PD-L1, MSI, TMB and clinical efficacy.

Primary outcomes

  1. Pathological Complete Response (pCR)

    Time frame: after surgery,within approximately 4-6 weeks

    Proportion of subjects achieving CAP Tumor Regression Grade 0 (TRG0), defined as no viable malignant cells detected in primary gastric tumor and all regional lymph nodes after radical D2 gastrectomy

Secondary outcomes

  1. R0 Resection Rate

    Time frame: within approximately 2 weeks after surgery

    The proportion of subjects who achieve R0 resection confirmed by postoperative surgical pathology.

  2. Event-Free Survival (EFS)

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

    EFS is the time from date of randomization until the date of disease progression or death.(assessed by the investigator per RECIST v1.1 criteria)

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

    Overall survival is length of time from randomization until the date of death due to any cause.

  4. Incidence, severity and causality of TEAEs, SAEs graded by NCI-CTCAE 6.0.

    Time frame: From first study drug to 90 days after last drug administration
