New combo therapy targets stomach cancer lymph nodes
NCT ID NCT07007182
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase II trial tests whether adding surgery and radiation to standard chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with stomach cancer that has spread only to nearby lymph nodes. About 54 participants will receive either standard chemo or a more intensive plan including chemo, surgery, and radiation. The goal is to see if the combined approach helps control the disease longer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SOX regimen (oxaliplatin plus S-1) or CAPEOX regimen (oxaliplatin plus capecitabine), with or without a PD-1 inhibitor
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a more effective treatment plan for gastric cancer patients with lymph node spread, potentially improving survival and disease control.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 54 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The added treatments also carry risks like side effects from chemo and radiation.
