NCT ID NCT07569068

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether adding a targeted drug (LM-302) to standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with a specific type of stomach cancer that has a protein called claudin 18.2. About 88 adults with advanced but removable stomach cancer will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment combinations. The main goal is to see how many patients have no cancer left in their removed tissue.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Tislelizumab, LM-302, S-1, and oxaliplatin
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a more effective pre-surgery treatment for a specific type of stomach cancer, potentially improving the chance of complete tumor removal.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 2 exploratory study with only 88 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The combination therapy may cause more side effects than standard treatment.
