New cocktail aims to shrink stomach tumors

NCT ID NCT07356466

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial tests whether adding two drugs—pucotenlimab (an immunotherapy) and lenvatinib (a targeted therapy)—to standard chemotherapy (SOX) can shrink tumors better than chemotherapy alone in people with advanced HER2-negative stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. About 100 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups. The main goal is to see how many patients have their tumors shrink significantly.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
pucotenlimab (an immunotherapy drug) combined with lenvatinib (a targeted therapy) and SOX chemotherapy (oxaliplatin plus S-1)
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new, more effective treatment option for people with advanced stomach cancer that is not curable with current therapies.
What could go wrong
This is a very early (Phase 1) and small trial, so results may not be conclusive. The added drugs may cause more side effects without improving outcomes.
