Summary

This study is an open-label, prospective, randomized controlled phase II clinical study. The purpose is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of megestrol acetate oral suspension for patients with cachexia and cStage III gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma who receive neoadjuvant therapy with serplulimab combined with SOX. This study intends to include 48 patients with locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma who have not received any treatment, meet the diagnosis of cachexia, and are operable as research subjects. It is expected that 32 patients will be included in the experimental group and 16 patients will be included in the control group, with an inter-group ratio of approximately 2:1. After signing the informed consent, the patients will be screened and meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The groups will be assigned according to the random results. The patients will receive or not receive megestrol acetate oral suspension during the 3 cycles of serplulimab SOX regimen before surgery. After the second and third cycles of medication, the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy and the possibility of radical gastric cancer D2 resection will be evaluated by imaging examinations, and radical gastric cancer surgery will be performed within 2-6 weeks after the third dose is completed. The treatment of postoperative patients will be decided by clinicians and patients based on actual clinical diagnosis and treatment. Patients must be given study drug treatment within 7 days after randomization. The dosing window for each cycle after the first dose is ±7 days. Before each dose, patients must complete the corresponding examinations specified in the protocol to assess the safety and tolerability of the treatment. Dosage regimen: * Treatment group: megestrol acetate oral suspension + serplulimab + SOX * Control group: serplulimab + SOX
