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.
