To address regional disparity, the investigators propose a tailored perioperative strategy for East Asian patients, combining neoadjuvant FLOT plus durvalumab, followed by adjuvant TS-1 plus durvalumab. This approach seeks to balance efficacy, immunologic synergy, and treatment tolerability, offering a more practical regimen for Eastern populations.
This is a single arm, open label, single center, Phase II study to assess the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant durvalumab in combination with FLOT chemotherapy followed by adjuvant durvalumab in combination with TS-1 in patients with resectable GC/GEJC (ie, radical-surgery eligible; cT2/3N+ or T4Nany with M0, per AJCC 8th edition). A total of 28 evaluable subjects will be required for the study. Eligible participants will receive durvalumab 1500 mg on Day 1 + FLOT on Days 1 and 15 Q4W for 2 cycles (2 cycles neoadjuvant, 1 cycle = Q4W in neoadjuvant setting) followed by durvalumab 1500 mg + TS-1 on Day 1 Q3W for 16 additional cycles (1 cycle = Q3W in adjuvant setting). Neoadjuvant therapy will begin following completion of the screening period, and patients will undergo resection surgery 4 to 8 weeks after the last dose of neoadjuvant therapy. (Surgery \>8 weeks after the last dose of neoadjuvant therapy may be permitted in consultation with the PI). Adjuvant therapy will begin 4 to 12 weeks post-surgery (based on the patient's recovery period).

Pathological complete response (pCR) rate
Pathological complete response (pCR) was selected as the primary endpoint to enable a feasible sample size and to specifically capture the antitumor activity of the neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy backbone. While the study hypothesis extends beyond neoadjuvant efficacy to include postoperative tolerability and feasibility, these aspects are addressed through predefined secondary endpoints focusing on safety, treatment completion, and postoperative outcomes.
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of surgical treatment.
Completion rate of Adjuvant Therapy
Duration of adjuvant therapy, defined as the time from initiation to permanent discontinuation of adjuvant treatment for any reason. Adjuvant treatment completion rate, defined as the proportion of patients who complete all planned cycles of adjuvant durvalumab plus TS-1 per protocol.
Time frame: From the start of adjuvant treatment to the end of adjuvant treatment up to 90 days.
Safety of Adjuvant Therapy
Incidence and severity of the treatment emergent adverse events of the adjuvant therapy (per NCI-CTCAE 5.0).
Time frame: From the start of adjuvant treatment to the end of adjuvant treatment up to 90 days.
Overall survival
Overall survival is length of time from treatment until the date of death due to any cause.
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment up to 3 years.
Event free survival
Event-free survival (EFS) is defined as the time from first dose of study treatment to the first occurrence of any of the following events, whichever occurs first: (1) Disease progression that precludes curative surgery or requires non-protocol therapy during neoadjuvant treatment (per RECIST 1.1); (2) Pathologically or radiologically confirmed local or distant recurrence after surgery; (3) Death from any cause.
