Summary

This study tests a combination of two drugs, TAS-102 and apatinib, as a third-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer. About 30 adults who have already tried two prior treatments will take these pills in cycles. The goal is to see if the combination can shrink tumors and delay cancer growth.
