Gastric cancer is one of the most common and deadly cancers globally, with poor prognosis. About 70% of patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, and the median overall survival (OS) is only 3-4 months. Current treatments, including immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with chemotherapy, have slightly improved survival, but most patients still experience disease progression during treatment, and those with PD-L1 CPS ≤5 do not benefit from immunotherapy.
Local radiotherapy, as a palliative treatment, can alleviate symptoms like bleeding, dysphagia, and pain, improving quality of life. Studies show that it significantly improves progression-free survival and may extend overall survival when added to chemotherapy. Therefore, combining local radiotherapy with immunochemotherapy may offer additional survival benefits for patients with advanced gastric cancer.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sintilimab combined with chemotherapy and local treatment | Experimental | ①Chemotherapy: Regimen follows guideline-recommended first-line therapy for advanced gastric cancer. ②Sintilimab (200 mg) is administered with chemotherapy every 21 days. Maintenance immunotherapy continues for up to 1 year after chemotherapy. ③Local Treatment : Performed during cycles 3-8 of immunochemotherapy. Radiotherapy is preferred, using a combination of high- and low-dose fractionation, tailored to tumor location, size, and proximity to critical organs. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Progression free survival, defined as the time from randomization to disease progression or death, whichever occurs first. | Progression will be assessed based on imaging studies and clinical evaluation, using RECIST v1.1 criteria. Data will be summarized using Kaplan-Meier estimates, and hazard ratios will be calculated. | From the date of randomization until tumor progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Survival, defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. | Overall Survival will be assessed using Kaplan-Meier estimates and compared between groups using a log-rank test. Median survival and survival rates at specific time points will be reported. | From the date of randomization until death from any cause, assessed up to 36 months |

| Objective Response Rate, defined as the proportion of participants achieving a complete or partial response, as assessed by RECIST v1.1 criteria. | Responses will be evaluated through imaging and clinical assessments, with data reported as a percentage along with corresponding 95% confidence intervals. | From the date of randomization until the date of first documented objective response, assessed up to 12 months |
| Time to Progression, defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression, as assessed by RECIST v1.1 criteria. | Time to Progression will exclude cases of death that occur without documented disease progression. Kaplan-Meier estimates will be used for analysis. | From the date of randomization until the date of first documented progression, assessed up to 24 months |
| Treatment Safety: Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events, as assessed by CTCAE v5.0. | Treatment-related adverse events will be categorized based on their severity and relationship to treatment, with descriptive statistics used to summarize their frequency and types. | From the date of randomization until the end of treatment, assessed up to 18 months |
| Time to Symptom Deterioration, based on patient-reported outcomes using validated quality of life instruments (e.g., EORTC QLQ-C30). | Time to Symptom Deterioration is defined as the time from randomization to the first clinically meaningful deterioration in symptom scores, determined by a predefined threshold. Kaplan-Meier methods will be used to analyze the data. | From the date of randomization until the first documented symptom deterioration, assessed up to 12 months |
