New cocktail targets Hard-to-Treat stomach cancer
NCT ID NCT07334431
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a combination of three drugs (fruquintinib, trastuzumab, and chemotherapy) as a first treatment for people with HER2-positive advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal is to see if the combo is safe and can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth. About 45 participants will take part in this early-phase trial at one hospital in China.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- fruquintinib, trastuzumab, oxaliplatin, capecitabine
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new first-line treatment option for people with HER2-positive advanced stomach cancer, potentially shrinking tumors and delaying disease progression.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase, small study (45 people) at one center. The drug combo may cause significant side effects, and results may not apply to everyone. Success is not guaranteed.
