NCT ID NCT07101666

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests giving short course radiation therapy along with standard chemotherapy before surgery for stomach cancer. The goal is to see if this total neoadjuvant therapy leads to a higher rate of complete cancer disappearance, with fewer side effects than traditional radiation after surgery. About 20 newly diagnosed patients will participate.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
short course radiation therapy and standard chemotherapy (CAPOX, FOLFOX, or FLOT)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could increase the chance of eliminating all cancer before surgery, potentially improving long-term outcomes for gastric cancer patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Adding radiation could also increase side effects despite aiming for less toxicity.
