Scientists hunt for biomarkers to personalize stomach cancer treatment
NCT ID NCT05508399
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study analyzed blood and tumor tissue samples from 28 people with stomach cancer to find biological markers that predict how well immunotherapy (tislelizumab) combined with chemotherapy works before surgery. The goal was to build a model that uses RNA and other factors to forecast treatment success. Since it's an observational study, it does not test a new treatment but aims to improve future treatment decisions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors predict which patients with stomach cancer will benefit most from combining immunotherapy with chemotherapy before surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed observational study (28 participants) that identifies potential biomarkers, not a treatment trial. The findings need validation in larger studies before they can guide patient care.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Aged 18-80 (including 18 and 80); 2. G/GEJ adenocarcinoma confirmed by basic ultrasound gastroscopy, enhanced CT (PET/CT), MRI or diagnostic laparoscopy; 3. Biopsy histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma 4. As assessed by the investigator, patients who are qualified for receiving PD-1 mab combined with chemotherapy neoadjuvant therapy; 5. Patients who volunteer to participate in this study and sign the informed consent, with good compliance and cooperation in the acquisition of biological specimens. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients whose biological specimens do not meet the detection standards; 2. In the judgment of the investigator, the patients with factors that might have caused the study to be terminated.
