The role of preoperative immune-chemotherapy in locally advanced resectable gastric cancer with microsatellite instability
Excerpt:179 patients who received preoperative therapy were enrolled. Among all the patients, 17 (9.50%) were diagnosed with MSI-H tumors...but a combination of nivolumab + chemotherapy in patients with MSI-H gastric cancer shows a high rate of pathological response of any grade (100% of cases, TRG-1 to TRG-4) and pathological complete response (60% of cases, TRG-1).

Comparison of efficacy between immune checkpoint inhibitors and irinotecan-based chemotherapy as third-line treatment for patients with advanced gastric cancer: A Korean real-world multicenter study (KCSG ST22-06).
Excerpt:We retrospectively reviewed patients with RMGC, whose third-line treatment started between July 2019 and June 2021 at 17 centers in South Korea. The ICI group included patients who received nivolumab or pembrolizumab...microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H)/mismatch repair-deficient (MMR-D) tumor was an independent prognostic factor for superior OS. The ICI group showed significantly longer OS than the irinotecan-based chemotherapy group in patients without peritoneal metastasis [HR 0.54 (95% CI 0.30-0.99); P=0.047)].

Prognostic factors to predict the survival in patients with advanced gastric cancer who receive later-line nivolumab monotherapy-The Asahikawa Gastric Cancer Cohort Study (AGCC)
Excerpt:The median OS was 7.5 (95% CI, 4.8-10.2) months and the response rate was 18.6%....The responders were aged and were frequently diagnosed with intestinal type gastric cancer, including patients with a HER2-positive status (27.3%) or microsatellite instability-high (27.3%) status....The regional cohort study of nivolumab monotherapy for gastric cancer patients revealed prognostic factors and a nomogram was developed that could predict the probability of survival.

Multicentre biomarker cohort study on the efficacy of nivolumab treatment for gastric cancer
Excerpt:...patients with unresectable or recurrent GC and prior or scheduled treatment with nivolumab as third-line or higher therapy between September 2017 and February 2019 were collected from 23 institutions. The tumour-positive score (TPS) and combined positive score (CPS) of PD-L1 expression and mismatch repair (MMR) were analysed by immunohistochemistry....The response rate was significantly higher in patients with performance status (PS) 0–1 (P = 0.026), non-peritoneal metastasis (P = 0.021), PD-L1 TPS ≥ 1 (P = 0.012), CPS ≥ 5 (P = 0.007) or ≥ 10 (P < 0.001) or MMR deficiency (P < 0.001).
