Synergistic Effects of PD-1 Antibody and Chemotherapy/Targeted Therapy Followed by Surgery-centric Local Treatment in Patients With Limited-metastatic Gastric Cancer

Summary

ROSETTE trial is an open-label, randomized phase II study designed to investigate treatment strategies for patients with limited metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. Eligible patients are randomized to receive either systemic treatment followed by surgeon-led local treatment, or systemic treatment alone. Systemic treatment combines immunotherapy with chemotherapy, with or without targeted therapy, while the surgeon-led local treatment utilizes a surgery-centric, multi-modality approach involving resection of both primary and metastatic tumors where feasible. For unresected or unresectable metastatic lesions, alternative local therapies are provided. The primary endpoint is the 1-year event-free survival (EFS) rate. Secondary endpoints include objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), extended EFS, overall survival (OS), pathologic complete response rate (pCR), major pathologic response rate (MPR), and R0 resection rate.

Conditions

• Gastric Cancer
• GastroEsophageal Cancer

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Local treatment (Surgical)

Radical gastrectomy with standard D2 lymphadenectomy will be performed, along with radical surgery for resectable metastatic lesions.

DRUG

PD-1 Monoclonal Antibody

PD-1 monoclonal antibody will be administered at a dosage of 200 mg via intravenous infusion (or according to the prescribing information of specific drug), once every cycle, each cycle spanning three weeks. The specific PD-1 antibody used will be determined by the investigators based on clinical considerations. Potential options include Sintilimab, Tislelizumab, or other approved PD-1 antibody products indicated for the treatment of metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma.

DRUG

XELOX/SOX Chemotherapy Regimen

Oxaliplatin: 130 mg/m² administered via a 3-hour intravenous infusion on D1 of each 3-week cycle. Capecitabine: 1000 mg/m² taken orally twice daily. The first dose is administered on the evening of D1, and the last dose on the morning of D15, consisting of 2 weeks of treatment and a 1-week break in each 3-week cycle. S-1: 40 mg/m² taken orally twice daily. The first dose is administered on the evening of D1, and the last dose on the morning of D15, consisting of 2 weeks of treatment and a 1-week break in each 3-week cycle. During the maintainance phase, only capecitabine/S-1 will be administered.

PROCEDURE

Local Treatment (Non-surgical)

Additional local treatment for unresected metastatic lesions during phase 2 systemic therapy is permitted, including: * Bone metastasis, distant lymph nodes, adrenal metastasis: Radiation therapy. * Lung and liver metastasis: Radiofrequency ablation, interventional embolization, or radiation therapy. * Peritoneal metastasis: Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). * Other metastatic lesions: Non-surgical treatment options discussed by the multidisciplinary team.

DRUG

Trastuzumab

For HER2-positive patients, the dosing regimen for the addition of trastuzumab is as follows: During the combination phase with XELOX/SOX chemotherapy: 8 mg/kg administered as an intravenous infusion on D1. During the maintenance phase with capecitabine/S-1: 6 mg/kg administered as an intravenous infusion on D1. This is repeated once every 3 weeks.

DRUG

Zolbetuximab

For patients with Claudin18.2-positive expression (IHC 2-3+ in ≥75% of tumor cells), Zolbetuximab may be added with the following dosing regimen: First cycle: 800 mg/m² administered as an intravenous infusion on D1. Subsequent cycles: 600 mg/m² administered as an intravenous infusion on D1. This is repeated once every 3 weeks.
