The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate postoperative adaptive adjuvant therapy in patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma after neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus immunotherapy and radical gastrectomy.The main questions it aims to answer are:
This prospective clinical trial will enroll patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma who have received neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus immunotherapy followed by radical gastrectomy. Participants will be assigned to predefined cohorts according to postoperative pathological response and pathological stage.
Patients with poor pathological response, defined as TRG 3 and ypT3-4N2-3M0 disease, will be evaluated to determine whether switching to a alternative postoperative treatment regimen improves survival and remains safe compared with continuing the original treatment regimen. For patients with complete pathological response, defined as TRG 0 and ypT0N0M0 disease, will be evaluated to determine whether observation without routine postoperative treatment maintain favorable survival outcomes.
The study aims to assess whether postoperative treatment can be adapted according to pathological response after neoadjuvant therapy, rather than applying the same postoperative treatment strategy to all patients. The results may help develop more individualized postoperative management strategies for patients at very high or very low risk of recurrence after neoadjuvant therapy and radical surgery.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cohort 1 Experimental Arm | Experimental | Participants randomized to the cohort 1 experimental arm will switch to an alternative postoperative treatment regimen. The alternative regimen will be selected by the investigator based on the participant's preoperative treatment regimen, postoperative molecular subtype, and the 2025 CSCO and 2025 NCCN guidelines. The regimen should include taxane-based or irinotecan-based monotherapy or combination therapy that was not used before surgery. The administration schedule and dosage of adjuvant therapy will follow standard clinical practice guidelines and the relevant drug prescribing information. |
|
| Cohort 1 Control Arm | Active Comparator | Participants randomized to the Cohort 1 control arm will continue treatment according to the preoperative treatment regimen. The administration schedule and dosage of adjuvant therapy will follow standard clinical practice guidelines and the relevant drug prescribing information. |
|
| Cohort 2 | Experimental | Participants in Cohort 2 will undergo postoperative observation without routine antitumor drug therapy. They will receive regular follow-up monitoring according to the study protocol. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alternative Postoperative Treatment Regimen | Drug | Participants in this arm will switch to an alternative postoperative treatment regimen selected by the investigator according to prior neoadjuvant therapy, postoperative molecular subtype, and the 2025 CSCO and NCCN guidelines. The regimen will include taxane-based or irinotecan-based treatment that was not used before surgery, with dosage and administration based on clinical practice standards and drug prescribing information. |

Eligible for one of the following predefined cohorts:
ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.
No evidence of metastasis or recurrence on postoperative imaging before enrollment.

Willing and able to comply with the study treatment, scheduled visits, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.
Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test before enrollment and agree to use effective contraception during the study and for 6 months after the last dose of study treatment. Male participants with female partners of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception during the study and for 6 months after the last dose of study treatment.
