New drug combo shows promise for Tough-to-Treat stomach cancers
NCT ID NCT07546812
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Phase 2 trial is testing a new drug called denikitug, alone or combined with other cancer drugs, in 120 people with advanced HER2-negative stomach, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal cancer that has worsened after initial treatment. The main goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors. Researchers will also track how long any response lasts and how long participants live without the cancer growing.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Denikitug (also called GS-1811), given alone or with nivolumab, ramucirumab, or paclitaxel
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with advanced stomach or esophageal cancer that has stopped responding to initial therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 120 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not shrink tumors or could cause side effects.
