ABSTRACT

Gastric cancer (GC) patients with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) positivity have demonstrated promising response with immunotherapy. We assessed the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab as salvage treatment in EBV-positive mGC. In this single-arm, phase 2 prospective clinical trial (NCT03755440), stage IV EBV-positive GC patients who failed/could not tolerate previous lines of chemotherapy were given intravenous camrelizumab 200 mg every 2 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was objective response rate. Secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), duration of response, and toxicity. Exploratory analysis included the associations between treatment response and tumor mutation burden (TMB), programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression. Six eligible patients were enrolled in the first stage of the study. No patient achieved an objective response; thus, the study did not proceed to the second stage. The DCR was 67% (4/6). The median PFS rate was 2.2 months (95% CI: 1.5-not reached [NR]) and median OS was 6.8 months (95% CI: 1.7-NR). All treatment-related adverse events were grade 1-2, with reactive cutaneous capillary endothelial proliferation (n=4 [67%]) being the most commonly observed event. The only patient with PD-L1 combined positive score >1 had disease progression. Two stable disease and one disease progression were observed in three patients with TMB >10 Mut/Mb. EBV positivity may not be a good predictor for response to camrelizumab in mGC. Newer biomarkers are needed to identify EBV-positive mGC respondents who might benefit from immunotherapy.
