New drug combo targets Hard-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT07483554
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 study tests a new drug called IBI343 combined with two chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel) in people with advanced stomach, gastroesophageal junction, or pancreatic cancers that have a specific protein (CLDN18.2). The goal is to see if the combination is safe and shrinks tumors. About 389 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
- IBI343 (a drug) combined with gemcitabine and albumin-bound paclitaxel (chemotherapy)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with advanced stomach or pancreatic cancers that have a specific marker (CLDN18.2).
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-stage trial, so the combination may not work better than existing treatments. Side effects from the drug and chemotherapy could be serious.
