Summary

This study tests whether injecting two drugs directly into the belly can help control fluid buildup (ascites) caused by stomach cancer. The drugs are sintilimab, which helps the immune system fight cancer, and zoledronic acid, which may slow cancer growth. The trial involves 24 adults with advanced stomach cancer and aims to find a safe dose and see if it shrinks the fluid.
