Chemotherapy Combined With Apatinib and PD-1 Antibody

Summary

The effective rate of second-line and later-line single-agent therapy for advanced gastric cancer is limited. This research plan aims to explore whether the combination of drugs can further improve the benefits of second-line and above therapies. Previous studies have shown that there is a significant synergistic effect between chemotherapy and PD-1 monoclonal antibody, or anti-angiogenic TKI drugs and PD-1 monoclonal antibody. This project is planned to be based on the classic chemotherapy drugs irinotecan or paclitaxel, combined with mesylate Apatinib and PD-1 monoclonal antibody, explore the effectiveness and safety of this three-drug combination regimen for the second-line and above treatment of advanced gastric cancer, in order to provide a better late-line treatment plan for patients with advanced gastric cancer.
