New hope for stomach cancer: drug combo aims to outperform chemo
NCT ID NCT07362186
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new combination of drugs (LM-108 and toripalimab) against standard chemotherapy for people with advanced stomach cancer that has gotten worse after first treatment. About 400 adults with a specific marker (CCR8-positive) will be randomly assigned to receive either the new combo or chemo. The goal is to see if the new combo helps people live longer and slows cancer growth.
