Postoperative Adjuvant Therapy for Stage II-III Gastric Cancer

For patients with stage II-III gastric cancer after radical D2 resection and R0 resection, postoperative adjuvant therapy guided by ctDNA-MRD (MRD-GATE external cohort) was not inferior to the standard chemotherapy regimen (this cohort).

Who can participate

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients who have undergone D2 gastrectomy, achieved R0 resection, and are pathologically diagnosed with stage II-III gastric cancer.
  • No preoperative neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy received.
  • Voluntary participation with signed informed consent, demonstrating good compliance and willingness to cooperate with follow-up procedures.
  • Age between 18-75 years, with no gender restrictions.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1.
  • Estimated survival of 6 months or more.
  • Baseline hematological and biochemical parameters within specified limits: a. Hemoglobin ≥ 80g/L. b. Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5×10^9/L. c. Platelet count ≥ 100×10^9/L. d. Aspartate or alanine aminotransferase ≤ 2.5 times the upper limit of normal. e. Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 times the upper limit of normal. f. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) ≤ 1 times the upper limit of normal (if abnormal, T3 and T4 levels must be normal).

Exclusion criteria

  • Pregnant or lactating women, or women of childbearing potential with a positive pregnancy test at baseline.
  • Evidence of postoperative recurrence or metastasis.
  • Previous anti-tumor therapy, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy.
  • Positive resection margins identified in postoperative pathology.
  • History of other malignancies within the past five years, except certain skin cancers, superficial bladder cancer, in situ cervical or breast cancer.
  • Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites.
  • Severe cardiovascular conditions such as symptomatic coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure (grade ≥ II), uncontrolled arrhythmias, or myocardial infarction within the last 12 months.
  • Uncontrolled infection, severe kidney disease, or other significant concurrent diseases.
  • Allergic reactions to study drugs.
  • Receipt of any anti-tumor therapy within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
  • Administration of live attenuated vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the first study treatment dose or plans to receive such vaccines during the study period.
  • Positive HIV antibody, active hepatitis B or C (with specific viral load criteria).
  • Positive for COVID-19 nucleic acid or antigen test.
  • Other conditions deemed by the investigator to potentially affect patient safety or trial compliance, including serious illnesses requiring treatment, severe laboratory abnormalities, or other social or family reasons.

Treatment and study plan

Standard chemotherapy regimen

Drug

In terms of postoperative adjuvant treatment, treatment is based on the guideline standard treatment plan, which can be adjusted according to the doctor's experience.

Primary outcomes

  1. 3-year Disease-Free Survival (DFS) rate

    Time frame: 3-year after the last subject participating in

    The 3-year DFS rate is defined as the percentage of patients who remain free of tumor recurrence or death within three years after surgery.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Rate of De-escalation Treatment

    Time frame: 3-year after the last subject participating in

    The Rate of De-escalation Treatment is defined as the proportion of patients among a study population who receive a reduction in the intensity or scope of therapeutic interventions.

  2. Disease-Free Survival (DFS)

    Time frame: 3-year after the last subject participating in

    Disease-Free Survival (DFS) is defined as the duration of time from the initiation of surgery until the recurrence of the disease or death from any cause, whichever comes first.

  3. Cumulative Risk of Recurrence

    Time frame: 3-year after the last subject participating in

    The Cumulative Risk of Recurrence is defined as the cumulative probability or risk of disease recurrence over a specified period, considering the entire study population.

  4. 3-year Overall Survival (OS) Rate

    Time frame: 3-year after the last subject participating in

    3-year Overall Survival (OS) Rate is defined as the percentage of patients who are still alive three years after the initiation of a specific treatment, regardless of disease recurrence or progression.
