Adebrelimab Combined With Famitinib and Irinotecan in Advanced Gastric Cancer After Failure of First-Line Therapy

Among these, 6 cases were in the safety run-in period, receiving treatment with Adeberlimab combined with Famitinib and Irinotecan. The safety during the first 3 months of medication was observed to determine whether DLT (Dose-Limiting Toxicity) occurred within the treatment cycle. If ≤ 2 subjects experienced DLT, the study would proceed to the extension treatment phase; if > 2 subjects experienced DLT, the study would be terminated.

DLT is defined as the occurrence of any of the following drug-related events during the first treatment cycle: grade 4 hematologic toxicity; grade 3 neutropenia with fever; grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding; or any other grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity (excluding alopecia).

After the safety importation period, patients will enter the extended treatment phase, with an additional 60 cases to be enrolled and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the experimental group or the control group.

The experimental group received treatment with Adeberlimab combined with famitinib maleate and irinotecan until disease progression, intolerable adverse reactions, or death.

The control group received irinotecan treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or death.

Inclusion criteria

• 2. Patients who have previously failed first-line treatment including systemic chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors, and have maintained first-line use of immune checkpoint inhibitors for at least 3 months;
• 3. According to the evaluation criteria for solid tumor efficacy 1.1 (RECIST v1.1), there should be at least one measurable lesion that has not received local treatment such as radiotherapy (lesions located within the previously irradiated area can also be selected as target lesions if progression is confirmed);

If the patient has liver metastasis, this standard is ≤ 5 times ULN; (3) Renal function: CrCl ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 (calculated according to the Cockcroft Gault formula);
• 7. Female subjects with fertility, as well as male subjects with partners who are fertility women, are required to use a medically approved contraceptive measure (such as intrauterine device, contraceptive pill, or condom) during the study treatment period, at least 6 months after the last use of Adebrelimab, and at least 6 months after the last use of chemotherapy;
• 8. Voluntarily join this study, sign the informed consent form, have good compliance, and cooperate with follow-up.

Exclusion criteria

• 1. History of gastrointestinal perforation and/or fistula within 6 months prior to the first use of medication;
• 2. There is uncontrollable pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or peritoneal effusion that requires repeated drainage;
• 3. History of allergies to any component of Adebrelimab in the past;
• 4. Have received any of the following treatments:

• Received any other investigational drug within 4 weeks prior to the first use of the investigational drug or had a half-life of no more than 5 from the last investigational drug;
• Simultaneously enrolled in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (non interventional) clinical study or an interventional clinical study follow-up;
• Received anti-tumor therapy (including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, biologic therapy, or tumor embolization) within 2 weeks prior to the first use of the investigational drug;
• Subjects who need to receive corticosteroids (equivalent to>10mg prednisone per day) within 2 weeks prior to the first use of the study drug. Allow the use of hormones for routine chemotherapy pretreatment without the need for dose adjustment. Other special circumstances require communication with the researcher. In the absence of active autoimmune diseases, inhalation or local use of steroids and corticosteroids with a dosage greater than 10mg/day of prednisone efficacy dose are allowed as substitutes for adrenal cortex hormones;
• Individuals who have received anti-tumor vaccines or have received live vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the first administration of the study drug;
• Having undergone major surgery or suffered severe trauma within 4 weeks prior to the first use of the investigational drug;
• Patients who have received previous treatment with paclitaxel drugs;
• 5. The toxicity of previous anti-tumor treatments has not recovered to ≤ CTCAE 5.0 Grade 1 (excluding hair loss) or the level specified in the inclusion/exclusion criteria;
• 6. Patients with active central nervous system metastases;
• 7. Active autoimmune diseases, history of autoimmune diseases (such as interstitial pneumonia, colitis, hepatitis, pituitary inflammation, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, including but not limited to the above diseases or syndromes); Excluding childhood asthma/allergies with vitiligo or those who have already recovered, patients who do not require any intervention in adulthood; Autoimmune mediated hypothyroidism treated with stable doses of thyroid replacement hormone; Type I diabetes with a stable dose of insulin;
• 8. Have a history of immune deficiency, including HIV test positive, or have other acquired or congenital immune deficiency diseases, or have a history of organ transplantation and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, or active hepatitis (hepatitis B reference: HBV DNA test value exceeds 500 IU/ml or 2500 copies/mL);
• 9. The subject has uncontrolled cardiovascular clinical symptoms or diseases, including but not limited to: (1) NYHA class II or above heart failure; (2) Unstable angina pectoris; (3) Have experienced myocardial infarction within one year; (4) Clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias that have not been clinically intervened or are still poorly controlled after clinical intervention;
• 10. Within 4 weeks prior to the first use of the investigational drug, there has been a severe infection (CTCAE 5.0>grade 2), such as severe pneumonia requiring hospitalization, bacteremia, infection complications, etc; Baseline chest imaging examination suggests the presence of active pulmonary inflammation, symptoms and signs of infection within 2 weeks prior to the first use of the study drug, or the need for oral or intravenous antibiotic treatment, except for prophylactic use of antibiotics;
• 11. History of interstitial lung disease (excluding history of radiation pneumonia and non infectious pneumonia that have not been treated with steroids);
• 12. Patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis infection found through medical history or CT examination, or patients with a history of active pulmonary tuberculosis infection within the past year before enrollment, or patients with a history of active pulmonary tuberculosis infection more than one year ago but without formal treatment;
