NCT ID NCT04762953

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

Summary

This phase II trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs for stomach cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. About 40 adults will receive standard intravenous chemo plus paclitaxel infused directly into the abdomen. The goal is to see if this approach improves how long the cancer stays under control and to check for side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Paclitaxel (given into the abdomen and through a vein), plus leucovorin and fluorouracil (5-FU) through a vein

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for stomach cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen, potentially slowing the disease and improving survival.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase (Phase II) trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment involves strong chemotherapy, which can cause serious side effects.
