New hope for tough stomach cancers: trial tests aggressive Pre-Surgery combo

NCT ID NCT04656041

Summary

This study is testing if adding a newer drug (liposomal irinotecan) to a standard, strong pre-surgery treatment plan works better for people with advanced cancer where the stomach meets the esophagus. The goal is to shrink the tumor as much as possible before surgery, aiming for no cancer cells left in the removed tissue. About 40 adults with this specific cancer, who haven't had prior treatment for it, will participate to see if this combination is safe and effective.
