Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The overall incidence of liver metastases from gastric cancer is about 9.9%-18.7%. Gastric cancer has strong heterogeneity and rapid disease progression, and the prognosis of liver metastasis is poor. The 5-year survival rate of patients with liver metastases from gastric cancer is very low, making clinical treatment challenging. Thalidomide has immunomodulatory and anti-angiogenesis effects. It has been used in the treatment of multiple myeloma for more than 20 years, and there are many clinical studies in solid tumors. In recent years, thalidomide has been found to induce the degradation of IKAROS family transcription factors IKZF1 and IKZF3 in combination with CRBN. Therefore, it is very meaningful to explore the therapeutic value of thalidomide in advanced gastric cancer liver metastasis.

- Thalidomide
- description
- The study is divided into two phases: The first phase is a combination phase (chemotherapy +T) : Oxaliplatin (130mg/m2 iv d1) and capecitabine (1000mg/m2 d1-14 po bid) repeated every 21 days for a total of 4-6 cycles. Thalidomide tablet: 100 mg/d, qn, orally. The second stage is maintenance stage: Patients who have obtained CR, PR or SD in the first stage enter the maintenance stage and receive maintenance treatment with thalidomide tablets: 100mg/d, qn, orally. Maintained until disease progression or adverse reactions are intolerable.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- progression-free survival (PFS)
- timeFrame
- Randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause up to the clinical cut off date of March10,2024 (up to approximately 18 months) ]
- description
- PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause whichever occurs first as determined by an IRF according to RECIST v1.1. PD: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameters on study (including baseline). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum of diameters must also demonstrate an absolute increase of \>/= 5 millimeters (mm).
