Stomach cancer breakthrough: study seeks best Post-Surgery care for complete responders
NCT ID NCT07161453
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 500 stomach cancer patients who had chemotherapy plus immunotherapy before surgery and achieved a complete response (no cancer left in the removed tissue). It compares different post-surgery treatments, including chemotherapy alone or with immunotherapy, to see which is better at preventing cancer from coming back. The goal is to find the safest and most effective follow-up plan for these patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Chemotherapy (SOX or XELOX) with or without a PD-1 inhibitor (immunotherapy)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help identify the best post-surgery treatment to prevent cancer recurrence in patients who already had a strong response to pre-surgery therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a real-world study, not a tightly controlled trial, so results may be less definitive. The treatments have side effects like fatigue, nausea, and immune-related reactions.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 18 years old, gender not restricted; 2. Subjects diagnosed with gastric cancer (GC) or gastroesophageal junction cancer (GEJC) through imaging and other examinations, and with histopathological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma; 3. HER2 overexpression or amplification results are negative; 4. Subjects who have received neoadjuvant chemotherapy for GC/GEJC before, and have undergone at least 3-4 cycles; 5. Having undergone radical surgical treatment and with postoperative pathological result reaching pCR 6. After radical surgery treatment, the investigator assesses that further adjuvant treatment is necessary, and the adjuvant treatment plan must be the one specified in this protocol. Exclusion Criteria: * 1\) Gastric cancer that is known to be squamous cell carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, or of other tissue types, or gastric cancer that is adenocarcinoma mixed with other tissue types; 2) Within 3 months before adjuvant therapy, there was a significant clinically significant bleeding symptom or a clear bleeding tendency; 3) Within 6 months before adjuvant therapy, had suffered from intestinal obstruction and/or had clinical signs or symptoms of digestive tract obstruction, including incomplete obstruction related to the original disease or requiring routine parenteral hydration, parenteral nutrition, or tube feeding; 4) Within 5 years before starting adjuvant therapy, was diagnosed with a malignant tumor (excluding malignant tumors with low metastasis and mortality risks, such as: skin basal cell carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ that has been adequately treated); 5) Within 30 days before starting adjuvant therapy, had participated in other clinical studies and used study drugs containing active ingredients;
