What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Objective remission rate (ORR)
The proportion of subjects with complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) in total subjects
Measured: 6 months after the last subject participating in
Secondary outcomes (5)
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival (PFS) refers to the time from the date of randomization to the first researcher's evaluation of disease progression or death (calculated by the event that occurred first). The disease progression will be evaluated by the researchers according to the RECIST 1.1 standard.
Measured: 12 months after the last subject participating in
Overall survival (OS)
Overall survival (OS) refers to the time from the date of randomization to the date of death of the subject.
Measured: 12 months after the last subject participating in
Duration of relief (DOR)
DOR is defined as the time from the first documented objective response (CR or PR) to the first documented disease progression or death
Measured: 12 months after the last subject participating in
Disease control rate (DCR)
The proportion of subjects with complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) and stable disease(SD)in total subjects
Measured: 6 months after the last subject participating in
Safety(adverse event)
to evaluate safety including adverse event rate and adverse event grade.
Measured: Up to approximately 2 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Disitamab Vedotin, Sintilimab and S-1 in people with HER2-positive Gastric Cancer and Metastatic Gastric Cancer, run by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University at 20 sites in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 20 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Lian Liu, MD (0531-82169851, tounao@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Objective remission rate (ORR) (time frame: 6 months after the last subject participating in). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Sep 2026.
