First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing a combination of three drugs—anlotinib, TQB2450, and the SOX chemotherapy regimen—as a first treatment for advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has low PD-L1 expression. The study involves 37 participants and aims to see how well the combo shrinks tumors and controls the disease. It is currently active but no longer recruiting.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

anlotinib (a drug that blocks blood vessel growth to tumors), TQB2450 (an immunotherapy drug), and the SOX chemotherapy regimen (oxaliplatin and S-1)

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could offer a new first-line treatment option for people with advanced gastric cancer that has low PD-L1 expression, potentially improving tumor shrinkage and delaying disease progression.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase (phase 2) trial with only 37 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. The combination also carries risks of side effects from chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and the anti-angiogenic drug.
