Targeted chemotherapy infusion aims to control advanced stomach cancer
NCT ID NCT07655024
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether delivering FOLFOX chemotherapy directly into the arteries feeding the tumor can help control advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The study includes 31 adults who cannot have surgery due to frailty or other health issues. The main goal is to see if this approach improves quality of life and slows disease progression.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- FOLFOX chemotherapy (oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced gastric cancer who cannot have surgery, potentially improving tumor control and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 31 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The procedure carries risks like infection, bleeding, or allergic reactions, and may not improve outcomes.
