Perioperative Disitamab Vedotin Plus Toripalimab and XELOX in Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma.

This is an open-label, randomized, multicenter, open-label clinical trial designed to evaluate safety and efficacy of perioperative Disitamab Vedotin plus Toripalimab and XELOX versus Disitamab Vedotin plus Toripalimab versus XELOX in subjects with HER2-expressing (immunohistochemical 1+, 2+, 3+) resectable locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

Male subjects should agree to use at least one medically approved contraceptive method (e.g., condoms, abstinence, etc.) for 7 days prior to initial dosing and up to 6 months after the end of the study treatment period;
• Able to understand trial requirements, willing and able to follow trial and follow-up procedures.

Exclusion criteria

• Received any anti-tumor therapy for gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma before study dosing, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and other anti-tumor drug therapy (including Chinese medicine treatment with anti-tumor ingredients specified in the instructions within 2 weeks before screening);

• Patients with active gastrointestinal bleeding or high risk of bleeding within 2 weeks prior to screening;
• Gastrointestinal perforation/fistula 6 months before screening;
• Upper digestive tract obstruction that cannot guarantee drug absorption, functional abnormalities or malabsorption syndrome, which can affect the absorption of capecitabine ;

• Heart failure rated 3 or higher by the New York College of Cardiology (NYHA);
• Cardiac chest pain, defined as moderate pain that restricts daily activities, occurred within 28 days prior to screening. There were serious arteriovenous thrombosis events or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents within six months before dosing, such as deep vein thrombosis (except asymptomatic and untreated intermuscular venous thrombosis), pulmonary embolism, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, and myocardial infarction (except asymptomatic lacunar infarction that did not require clinical intervention);
• There is an active or advanced infection that requires systematic treatment (experimental medication may be initiated 2 weeks after the end of anti-infective therapy), such as active tuberculosis;
• There are systemic diseases that have not been stably controlled which are determined by investigators, including diabetes, hypertension, cirrhosis, etc.;
• A history of lung disease that requires treatment and has the potential to interfere with surgery, including but not limited to interstitial lung disease, non-infectious pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis, and acute lung disease;
• Active autoimmune diseases requiring systemic therapy (such as the use of disease-modifying drugs, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs) within 2 years prior to dose administration, and replacement therapies (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiological replacement of glucocorticoids due to renal or pituitary deficiency) are allowed, and a history of refractory autoimmune disease.
