First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding targeted radiation to the immunotherapy drug nivolumab (alone or with another drug, relatlimab) can help control advanced stomach, esophageal, or gastroesophageal junction cancer. About 21 adults with limited metastatic disease will receive radiation to some tumors, then immunotherapy to see if it boosts the immune attack on cancer throughout the body. The main goal is safety and measuring immune cell changes, not a cure.
