Summary

Phase II Study of Avelumab plus chemotherapy in the peri-operative treatment for patients with resectable Gastric cancer (GC) or Gastroesphageal Junction cancer (GEJC)

The addition of Avelumab to the perioperative chemotherapy in GC and GEJC patients may increase pathological responses by a synergic effect activating the immune response. Conclusively, the survival of these patients would improve.

The primary objective is to investigate whether the addition of avelumab to FLOT chemotherapy (docetaxel, oxaliplatin and fluorouracil/leucovorin) improves efficacy in terms of pathological complete response (pCR) rate, in GC and GEJC patients compared to the historical data of chemotherapy alone in the neoadjuvant setting.

Conditions

  • Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma
  • Stomach Neoplasms

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Avelumab addition to perioperative chemotherapy in GC and GEJC

Avelumab addition to perioperative chemotherapy in GC and GEJC. Peri-operatory treatment consisting of four cycles (each cycle is 14 days) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (docetaxel, oxaliplatin and fluorouracil/leucovorin) plus avelumab previous to surgery. Surgery is recommended to be scheduled 4 to 6 weeks after the last dose. Afterwards (4 to 10 weeks after surgery), four cycles of adjuvant therapy with the same schema, followed by avelumab up to one year. There will be be a follow-up of 5 years.
