Sintilimab combined neoadjuvant intraperitoneal and systemic chemotherapy in gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis.

Intraperitoneal chemotherapy combined with systemic chemotherapy is one of the therapeutic modalities currently used for the treatment of gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sintilimab plus S-1 combined intraperitoneal and intravenous paclitaxel. This is an open-label, single-center, phase II study including 36 gastric adenocarcinoma patients with peritoneal metastases diagnosed by laparoscopy. All enrolled patients received sintilimab, intraperitoneal and intravenous paclitaxel plus oral S-1 every 3 weeks. Conversion operation should be considered when a patient responds to the regimen and the peritoneal metastasis disappears. After gastrectomy, the protocol treatment is repeated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, investigator decision or patient withdrawal. The primary end point is the 1-year survival rate.
