NCT ID NCT07259473

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial will test a combination of immunotherapy drugs and chemotherapy given before surgery for people with a specific genetic subtype of stomach cancer (dMMR/MSI-H). The study aims to see how well this approach clears the tumor and to understand why some patients do not respond. It will enroll 15 adults in China.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (PD-1/PD-L1/CTLA-4 antibodies) plus oxaliplatin chemotherapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a more effective treatment strategy for Asian patients with this specific type of gastric cancer, potentially increasing the chance of complete tumor removal.

What could go wrong

This is a very small early-phase trial (15 people) and results may not apply to all patients. About half of patients with this cancer type do not respond to immunotherapy, and the study may not uncover why.
