Standard-of-care for resectable gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer includes surgery and neoadjuvant-adjuvant 5-fluorouracil-leucovorin-oxaliplatin-docetaxel (FLOT) chemotherapy. Early-phase clinical studies support further development of the immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI); durvalumab, an anti-PD-L1 antibody, in patients with cancer. Accumulating evidence indicates that ICIs combined FLOT chemotherapy improve outcomes advanced or metastatic We describe rationale design MATTERHORN, a...
