Real-World check: does adding nivolumab to chemo help stomach cancer patients?
NCT ID NCT05334719
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how well a combination of nivolumab (an immunotherapy drug) and chemotherapy works for people with advanced or recurrent stomach cancer who haven't had treatment before. It involved 500 patients in Japan and tracked things like how long the cancer stayed under control and any side effects. The goal was to see how this treatment performs in everyday medical practice, not just in controlled experiments.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically confirmed advanced or recurrent gastric cancer * Have initiated or are confirmed to receive nivolumab plus chemotherapy as the first-line therapy between the date of approval of nivolumab plus chemotherapy and December 31, 2022. For combination chemotherapy, SOX, CapeOX, or FOLFOX is acceptable * Have signed a written informed consent form of their own free will after they have been given an adequate explanation and a full understanding of this study before enrolling in this study. Exclusion Criteria: * Treated with antineoplastic agents as first-line treatment for advanced or recurrent gastric cancer prior to the initiation of nivolumab plus chemotherapy (participants who have received prior perioperative chemotherapy and participants who have received prior bisphosphonates for osseous metastases may be enrolled) * Confirmed to be positive for HER2 * Diagnosed with gastric cancer and have previously received investigational drugs with anti-tumor effects * Initiated with nivolumab plus chemotherapy as the first-line treatment for advanced or recurrent gastric cancer at a site other than the study site and were later hospitalized at the study site. * Judged by the investigators to be inappropriate for enrollment in this study
