NCT ID NCT03610711

Summary

This study is testing if giving targeted, high-dose radiation to cancer spots before starting immunotherapy drugs makes the drugs work better for people with advanced stomach or esophageal cancer. It's a small, early-stage safety trial for patients whose cancer has spread but is still limited. Researchers will check if the radiation changes the immune cells in a tumor and see how safe the combination is.
