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.
