Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization combined with apatinib and camrelizumab for unresectable advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer: a single-arm, single-center, retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with Apatinib and Camrelizumab for treating unresectable advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancer.

Material and methods

In this study, data of patients with unresectable advanced G/GEJ cancer who received TACE combined with Apatinib and Camrelizumab from August 2018 to December 2021 was evaluated. After TACE, patients were given intravenous Camrelizumab 200mg every three weeks and oral apatinib 250mg/day for treatment. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), and the secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and adverse events (AEs).
