New drug trio takes aim at HER2-Positive stomach cancer
NCT ID NCT06730373
First seen Sep 15, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are comparing a new combination of disitamab vedotin, sintilimab, and S-1 against the standard regimen of trastuzumab plus chemotherapy, with or without sintilimab, for people with advanced HER2-positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The trial enrolls about 110 adults who have not received prior systemic treatment for their advanced disease. The main goal is to see how many participants' tumors shrink or disappear with each approach.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- disitamab vedotin plus sintilimab and S-1
- What this could lead to
- If the new combination works better than standard treatment, it could offer a new first-line option for people with advanced HER2-positive gastric cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase II trial with about 110 participants, so it cannot prove the combination is better than standard care. The drugs can cause nerve damage, immune reactions, and other side effects, and the results may not apply to everyone.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Aged18-80 years, gender is not limited; 2. Pathologically confirmed locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma that is inoperable or has distant metastasis; 3. HER2-Positive (IHC3+or IHC2+/FISH+) ; 4. Has at least 1 measurable lesion as determined by RECIST 1.1; 5. There is no systematic treatment in the past, or the patient has received neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy, but the disease progresses or relapses more than 6 months after the end of treatment; 6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1; 7. Adequate organ function; 8. The life expectancy is at least 3 months; Exclusion Criteria: 1. Allergy to any trial drug and its excipients, or serious allergy history, or contraindication of the trial drug; 2. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events that are not well controlled; 3. Has received systematic treatment with Chinese patent medicine or immunomodulatory drugs (including thymosin, interferon, interleukin, except for local use for ascites control) before the first administration within 2 weeks. 4. Have a history of interstitial lung disease, non-infectious pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis, acute lung disease, or systemic disease with poor control (including but not limited to diabetes, hypertension, etc.); 5. Have a history of active immune deficiency or autoimmune diseases, including HIV positive test, or have other acquired or congenital immune deficiency diseases, or have a history of organ transplantation or autoimmune diseases; 6. Severe chronic or active infection requires systemic antibacterial, antifungal or antiviral treatment, including tuberculosis infection.Have a history of active tuberculosis infection ≥ 1 year before recruitment should also be excluded, unless proved has been completed appropriate treatment; 7. Brain metastasis or leptomeningeal metastasis; 8. Clinically significant pleural effusion, pericardial effusion or ascites should be drained for many times within 2 weeks before the first administration of the trial drug; 9. Has a second clinically detectable primary malignant tumor at the time of recruitment, or there were other malignant tumors in the past 5 years (except for fully treated skin basal cell carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ); 10. Any major surgery was performed ≤ 28 days before the first trial drug administration; 11. History of allogeneic stem cell transplantation or organ transplantation;
