New hope for stomach cancer: targeted drug combo trial launches

NCT ID NCT04379596

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a drug called trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), alone or with chemotherapy and immunotherapy, in people with advanced HER2-positive stomach or esophageal cancer. The goal is to see if these combinations are safe and can shrink tumors. About 450 adults with cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery will take part.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

trastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu) alone or with chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with advanced HER2-positive gastric cancer, potentially shrinking tumors and delaying disease progression.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1b/2) with a small number of participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Side effects from the drug combinations could be serious, and the treatment may not work for everyone.
