Study protocol of the C-SOLVE (JACCRO GC-12) trial; a randomized, non-comparative phase II trial of CapeOX or SOX plus zolbetuximab in HER2-negative, CLDN18.2-positive unresectable advanced gastric or esophagogastric junction cancer.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCapecitabine + oxaliplatin (CapeOX) + zolbetuximab and 5-FU + oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) + zolbetuximab are recommended as first-line treatments for chemotherapy-naïve patients with HER2-negative, CLDN18.2-positive advanced gastric or esophagogastric junction cancer. However, no prospective trials have evaluated the efficacy and safety of S-1 + oxaliplatin (SOX) + zolbetuximab. This study is planned as a non-comparative, prospective, randomized phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SOX + zolbetuximab in chemotherapy-naïve patients with HER2-negative, CLDN18.2-positive advanced gastric or esophagogastric junction cancer. METHODS/
designThis randomized study will enroll patients ≥ 18 years old with histologically confirmed HER2-negative, CLDN18.2-positive (IHC defined as ≥ 75% of tumour cells showing moderate-to-strong membranous CLDN18 staining) advanced gastric or esophagogastric junction cancer. Participants (n = 140) will be randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either SOX + zolbetuximab or CapeOX + zolbetuximab. The primary endpoint is the 12-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate, with a threshold of 17% and an expected rate of 33% for SOX + zolbetuximab. To account for a 10% deviation risk, the target enrollment for each arm is 70 patients. CapeOX + zolbetuximab will serve as a prospective observational arm without hypothesis testing. Secondary endpoints will include PFS, overall survival, objective response rate, disease control rate, duration of response, time to response, and safety. The enrollment period is 2 years, followed by a 2-year observation period. DISCUSSION: Since replacing capecitabine with S-1 should provide the same level of therapeutic efficacy, SOX + zolbetuximab may be increasingly used to treat advanced gastric or esophagogastric junction cancer in Asian countries. Verifying the efficacy and safety of SOX + zolbetuximab is thus an important task.
