Stomach cancer breakthrough: study seeks best Post-Surgery care for complete responders

NCT ID NCT07161453

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study looks at 500 stomach cancer patients who had chemotherapy plus immunotherapy before surgery and achieved a complete response (no cancer left in the removed tissue). It compares different post-surgery treatments, including chemotherapy alone or with immunotherapy, to see which is better at preventing cancer from coming back. The goal is to find the safest and most effective follow-up plan for these patients.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Chemotherapy (SOX or XELOX) with or without a PD-1 inhibitor (immunotherapy)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help identify the best post-surgery treatment to prevent cancer recurrence in patients who already had a strong response to pre-surgery therapy.

What could go wrong

This is a real-world study, not a tightly controlled trial, so results may be less definitive. The treatments have side effects like fatigue, nausea, and immune-related reactions.
