NIVOFGFR2: Nivolumab in Combination With Chemotherapy for FGFR2-positive Metastatic Gastric Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this phase 2 clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of nivolumab in combination with CapeOX in patients with FGFR2-positive/PD-L1-positive/HER2-negative metastatic gastric cancer.

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
On April 16, 2021, the Food and Drug Administration approved first-line therapy with nivolumab and fluoropyrimidine-platinum-containing chemotherapy for metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma. Patients with PD-L1 expression benefit the most from this treatment.
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) is a predictor of poor overall survival and a potential target for targeted therapy. However, there is no data of nivolumab efficacy in patients with combined expression of PD-L1 and FGFR2.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of nivolumab in this patient population.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) [12 months]
Proportion of patients who will be progression-free at 1 year
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Median PFS [18 months]
From first day of treatment to the first observation of disease progression or death due to any cause
- Median overall survival (OS) [24 months]
From first day of treatment to time of death due to any cause.
- Objective response rate (ORR) [18 months]
Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by CT: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR
- Toxicity Summary [Up to 30 days post treatment]
toxicity assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. Grade 3 and above adverse events possibly, probably or definitely related to treatment.
