The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of HFRT plus neoadjuvant ICT in locally advanced resectable GEJA.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether hypofractionated radiotherapy combined with a PD-1 inhibitor (Serplulimab) and chemotherapy based on the TS regimen is a safe and well-tolerated neoadjuvant strategy for patients with locally advanced resectable gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEJA), and whether it can improve the pathological complete response (pCR) rate compared to immunochemotherapy alone.

In Phase Ib, hypofractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) will be administered at one of three dose levels: 3 Gy × 5 fractions, 4 Gy × 5 fractions, or 5 Gy × 5 fractions. The recommended dose determined in Phase Ib will be used in Phase II (delivered as 5 fractions).
Serplulimab will be administered concurrently with chemotherapy at a fixed dose of 300 mg via intravenous infusion on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle.
The TS regimen includes paclitaxel at a dose of 175 mg/m² administered via intravenous infusion on Day 1, and oral administration of tegafur-gimeracil-oteracil (S-1) for 14 consecutive days followed by a 7-day rest period (21-day cycle). The S-1 dose is based on body surface area (BSA): 40 mg twice daily (bid) for BSA ≤ 1.5 m²; 50 mg bid for BSA 1.5-1.6 m²; and 60 mg bid for BSA ≥ 1.6 m².

RECRUITINGSafety and tolerability in Phase Ib
Safety will be assessed based on clinical adverse events, vital signs, and abnormalities in laboratory tests during the study period. Adverse events (AEs) will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), version 5.0. All deaths occurring within 90 days after the first dose of treatment or within 30 days after the last dose will be listed along with the causes of death. Laboratory abnormalities will be categorized according to NCI-CTCAE version 5.0. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD): If ≥1/3 of patients in a given dose cohort experience radiotherapy-related dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) within 90 days, that dose level will be considered intolerable. The dose level immediately below will then be defined as the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). At least six evaluable patients are required in the MTD cohort.
Time frame: within 3 months after the HFRT
pCR rate in Phase II
pCR rate: The proportion of patients who achieve pathological complete response (pCR), defined as the absence of viable tumor cells on microscopic examination after neoadjuvant therapy.
Time frame: approximately 2 weeks after the resection of primary lesion
R0 resection rate
number of R0 surgery divide all participants
Time frame: approximately 2 weeks after the resection of primary lesion
Objective response rate
Objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of subjects with a confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) as assessed by the investigator according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. A response (CR or PR) requires confirmation by a repeat assessment performed no less than 4 weeks after the criteria for response are first met.
Time frame: From Baseline up to the pre-surgical assessment (performed within 28 days after the last dose of conversion therapy)

evaluate the DFS rate after the resection of primary lesion(only patients who acquire R0 resection)
Time frame: Up to 3 years
OS(overall survival) rate

Adverse Events (AEs)
The incidence, severity, and relationship of adverse events will be assessed and graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), version 5.0.
Time frame: From the first dose through 90 days after the last dose
Quality of Life (QoL) - EORTC QLQ-C30
Quality of life will be evaluated using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30).
Time frame: Assessments are performed at Baseline, on Day 1 of each subsequent treatment cycle (each cycle is 21 days), at the end-of-treatment visit, and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery during follow-up.
