NCT ID NCT04107077

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study looks at whether giving heated chemotherapy directly into the abdomen during keyhole surgery can increase PD-L1 levels in stomach cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly. PD-L1 is a protein that helps the immune system recognize cancer cells. The goal is to see if this approach works better than standard chemo alone. About 21 adults who have already had some chemo will take part.
