Non-surgical Management After NIT for dMMR/MSI-H GC

12 participantsStarted 2026-07-01

Plain-language summary

Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide and has a poor prognosis Immunotherapy significantly improves the prognosis of gastric cancer. In resectable gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GAC/GEJA) C, mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR)/microsatellite instability (MSI-H) can improve survival, and immunotherapy can avoid chemotherapy or surgery. The dMMR/MSI-H status is the strongest predictive biomarker for the benefit of immunotherapy with anti-programmed death receptor 1 and its ligands (PD-1/PD-L1) in advanced solid tumors, especially metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. The INFINITY study provides Durvalumab combined with Tremelimumab as a treatment option with significant benefits for preoperative treatment of dMMR/MSI GAC/GEJAC, as well as the feasibility of non-surgical treatment strategies for such gastric cancer patients At present, there are no studies related to Asian gastric cancer patients, which are worthy of further verification and exploration in Asian gastric cancer cohorts.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
