Gastric cancer, affecting the stomach, is a serious condition with a high mortality rate, especially when diagnosed at an advanced stage. This study focuses on patients with a specific type of gastric cancer called esophagogastric junction/gastric adenocarcinoma that has spread to other parts of the body. The goal is to explore whether a combination of a drug called Sintilimab, chemotherapy, and possibly local treatments like radiotherapy can improve survival rates and quality of life for these patients. Current treatments have limited effectiveness, particularly for those with a low PD-L1 CPS score, so this study aims to find better treatment options. Participants in this study receive Sintilimab along with chemotherapy, and some may also receive radiotherapy. The treatment is given to see if it can slow down or stop the cancer from progressing and alleviate symptoms such as pain and difficulty swallowing. The effectiveness is measured by tracking how the disease progresses and how long patients survive. The study also looks at whether these combined treatments can improve the overall quality of life by reducing symptoms. Potential risks and benefits are assessed to find the best possible approach for treating advanced gastric cancer.

Treatment Groups
Study Objectives

2 intervention groups are designated in this study

This study does not include a placebo group 

Treatment Groups

Group I

Experimental
①Chemotherapy: Regimen follows guideline-recommended first-line therapy for advanced gastric cancer. ②Sintilimab (200 mg) is administered with chemotherapy every 21 days. Maintenance immunotherapy continues for up to 1 year after chemotherapy. ③Local Treatment : Performed during cycles 3-8 of immunochemotherapy. Radiotherapy is preferred, using a combination of high- and low-dose fractionation, tailored to tumor location, size, and proximity to critical organs.

Group II

Active Comparator
①Chemotherapy: Regimen follows guideline-recommended first-line therapy for advanced gastric cancer. ②Sintilimab (200 mg) is administered with chemotherapy every 21 days. Maintenance immunotherapy continues for up to 1 year after chemotherapy.
