Abstract
[Objective]To investigate the adjuvant effects of Astragalus granules in patients with advanced gastric cancer(GC)receiving the oxaliplatin+leucovorin+5-fluorouracil regimen(FOLFOX4)combined with sintilimab(SIN),and to evaluate their impact on immune function and the ferroptosis-related gene prognostic index(FRGPI).[Methods]A total of 223 patients with advanced GC admitted to our hospital between January 2020 and December 2024 were enrolled and randomly assigned to an observation group(n=111)or a control group(n=112)using a random number table.The control group received the FOLFOX4 regimen plus SIN,while the observation group received additional Astragalus granules on this basis.Each treatment cycle lasted 3 weeks,and all patients completed at least 2 cycles.Short-term efficacy[objective response rate(ORR)],immune function(percentages of CD3+,CD4+,and CD8+T cells),FRGPI levels,and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.[Results]The ORR was significantly higher in the observation group(52.2%)than in the control group(34.9%)(P＜0.05).After treatment,CD3+and CD4+levels increased and CD8+levels decreased in both groups(all P＜0.05),with greater changes observed in the observation group(P＜0.05).FRGPI levels were reduced in both groups after treatment(P＜0.05),with a more pronounced decrease in the observation group(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that CD3+and CD4+were negatively correlated with FRGPI(P＜0.01),while CD8+was positively correlated with FRGPI(P＜0.01).The incidence of nausea/vomiting,leukopenia,and hepatic/renal impairment was lower in the observation group than in the control group(P＜0.05),whereas the incidence of thrombocytopenia and hand foot syndrome showed no significant differences between the two groups(P＞0.05).[Conclusion]Astragalus granules combined with FOLFOX4 and sintilimab significantly improved short-term efficacy in patients with advanced gastric cancer,enhanced immune function,reduced FRGPI levels,and alleviated certain treatment-related toxicities.These effects may be associated with the regulation of ferroptosis and improvement of the immune microenvironment,providing clinical evidence for the use of Astragalus granules as an adjuvant to immunochemotherapy.关键词
