Targeted antibody combo aims to shrink HER2-Positive stomach cancers before surgery

NCT ID NCT07685704

First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial investigates whether adding the targeted antibody zanidatamab to standard chemotherapy can shrink HER2-positive stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancers before surgery. It includes two groups: people with locally advanced cancer that has not spread, and those with limited spread (oligometastatic). The main goal is to see if the cancer disappears completely in the removed tissue.

Active substance
zanidatamab (a targeted antibody) combined with chemotherapy (oxaliplatin and capecitabine)
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could help shrink HER2-positive stomach cancers before surgery, potentially leading to better surgical outcomes and longer survival.
