Toripalimab Combined With Docetaxel or Nab-paclitaxel in the Treatment of Advanced Gastric Cancer : a Single-arm, Open Label, Prospective Phase II Clinical Trial

The single arm clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an anti-PD-1 antibody (Toripalimab) combined with chemotherapy (docetaxel or nab-Paclitaxel) in patients with advanced gastric cancer who failed first-line treatment.

54 patients who meet the inclusion criteria will receive Docetaxel (60-75mg/m2, every 3 weeks) or nab-Paclitaxel （125mg/m2，every 3 weeks）combined with Toripalimab( 240mg,every 3 weeks）for 4-8 cycles until the disease progresses or intolerable toxicity.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Ages 18-75
2. Written informed consent from the patient.
3. Pathologically diagnosed gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEJ).
4. Failure of first-line chemotherapy with fluorouracil ，or adjuvant therapy with fluorouracil drugs, but the end of adjuvant treatment is less than 6 months.
5. Measurable disease as per RECIST 1.1 criteria.
6. Adequate organ and bone marrow functions.
7. Female subjects should agree to use a medically approved effective contraceptive during the study period and for up to 6 months after the study，and must undergo a serum-negative pregnancy test within 72hours before starting the study drug, and out of lactation;male subjects should agree to use medically approved methods of contraception during the study period and within 6 months after the end of the study period.
8. Performance Status(ECOG) 0-2.
9. Life expectancy >3 months.
