NCT ID NCT07427992

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

Summary

This study is testing a drug called zolbetuximab combined with standard chemotherapy in people with a specific type of advanced stomach cancer that has spread. The cancer must have a protein called claudin 18.2 on at least 75% of its cells and be HER2-negative. The goal is to see how well the treatment works in real-world settings, outside of a controlled clinical trial. About 70 participants will be enrolled.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Zolbetuximab (a targeted antibody) combined with chemotherapy (FOLFOX or XELOX)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a new treatment option for people with a specific type of advanced stomach cancer that is hard to treat.

What could go wrong

This is an early real-world study, not a large randomized trial, so results may be less reliable. The treatment may not improve survival and could cause side effects from chemotherapy.
