New targeted therapy aims to extend life in stomach cancer
NCT ID NCT06649292
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Phase 3 trial tests a new drug, SHR-A1904, in 524 people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has a specific protein (CLDN18.2). Participants receive either SHR-A1904 or standard chemotherapy. The main goal is to see if the new drug helps people live longer. The study is currently recruiting.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SHR-A1904 (an antibody-drug conjugate targeting CLDN18.2)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new targeted treatment option for people with advanced gastric cancer whose tumors have a specific marker (CLDN18.2).
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 3 trial, but the drug is still experimental. It may not improve survival compared to current chemotherapies, and side effects from the targeted therapy could be significant.
