Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of Adebrelimab Combined With SOX as Adjuvant Therapy for IIIB and IIIC Gastric Cancer

Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of Adebrelimab Combined With SOX as Adjuvant Therapy for IIIB and IIIC Gastric Cancer

Although the immunotherapy combination regimen has shown good data and safety during the perioperative period of gastric cancer, more clinical studies are still needed to explore the treatment regimens, the number of treatment cycles, the screening of beneficiary populations, and the safety assessment of different drug combinations of immunotherapy combination therapy as adjuvant treatment after gastric cancer surgery.

14. Immunosuppressive drugs have been used within 4 weeks before the first dose of the study treatment, excluding topical glucocorticoids through nasal spray, inhalation or other routes, or systemic glucocorticoids at physiological doses (i.e., no more than 10mg/ day prednisone or equivalent doses of other glucocorticoids), or hormones used for the prevention of contrast agent allergy;
15. Known history of allogeneic organ transplantation and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation;
16. Those currently accompanied by interstitial pneumonia or interstitial lung disease, or those with a previous history of interstitial pneumonia or interstitial lung disease requiring hormone therapy, or other pulmonary fibrosis and organized pneumonia that may interfere with the judgment and management of immune-related pulmonary toxicity (for example, Subjects with oblusive bronchiolitis, pneumoconiosis, drug-associated pneumonia, idiopathic pneumonia, or those with evidence of active pneumonia or severely impaired lung function shown on chest computed tomography (CT) images during the screening period are allowed to have radiation pneumonia and active tuberculosis in the radiation field.
17. There is an active autoimmune disease or a history of autoimmune diseases that may recur (including but not limited to: autoimmune hepatitis, interstitial pneumonia, uveitis, enteritis, pituitinitis, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism [subjects that can be controlled only through hormone replacement therapy can be included]); Subjects with skin diseases that do not require systemic treatment, such as vitiligo, psoriasis, alopecia, controlled type 1 diabetes treated with insulin, or asthma that has been completely relieved in childhood and does not require any intervention in adulthood can be included. Asthma patients who require medical intervention with bronchodilators cannot be included.
18. Use immunosuppressants or systemic hormone therapy within 14 days before the initiation of the study treatment to achieve the purpose of immunosuppression (dose >10mg/ day prednisone or other therapeutic hormones);
19. There was a severe infection within 4 weeks before the initiation of the study treatment, including but not limited to hospitalization due to infection, bacteremia or complications of severe pneumonia; Therapeutic antibiotics were administered orally or intravenously within 2 weeks before the initiation of the study treatment (patients receiving preventive antibiotics (for example, those who are eligible to participate in the study to prevent urinary tract infections or exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease);
20. Patients with congenital or acquired immune deficiency (such as HIV-infected individuals);
21. Immunosuppressive drugs have been used within 4 weeks before the first administration;
22. The attenuated live vaccine has been administered within 4 weeks before the first administration or is planned to be administered during the study period;
23. Has received other anti-PD-1 antibody treatments or other immunotherapies targeting PD-1/PD-L1 in the past;
