Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug ivonescimab to standard chemotherapy can improve tumor shrinkage in people with advanced or metastatic stomach or gastroesophageal cancer.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Ivonescimab (a type of immunotherapy) combined with chemotherapy drugs (FOLFOX or irinotecan)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option that shrinks tumors more effectively in people with advanced stomach or esophageal cancer.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 88 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination may cause side effects or not work better than chemo alone.
