Radioactive treatment for advanced solid tumors with Claudin18.2
This early-stage trial tests a new radioactive drug (177Lu-DOTA-SNA040) designed to target a protein called Claudin18.2 found on certain cancer cells. The drug delivers radiation directly to tumors in patients with advanced gastric, pancreatic, or bile duct cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07699939RecruitingPhase 2
Perioperative immunotherapy plus chemo for advanced gastric cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug HLX10 (serplulimab) to standard chemotherapy (S-1 plus oxaliplatin) before and after surgery can improve outcomes for patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has a high level of PD-L1 protein.
Chiba, ChibaAges 18–80 - NCT04018872RecruitingPhase 2
Itraconazole trial for esophageal cancer response
This Phase 2 trial tests whether itraconazole (an antifungal medicine) can help people with localized esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer achieve a better “pathologic complete response,” meaning no remaining cancer found after treatment. You may be considered if your cancer is in a localized/locoregional stage and you meet key safety checks.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05563766RecruitingPhase 2
Itraconazole added for treatable esophageal cancer before surgery
This study tests whether adding itraconazole (an anti-fungal medicine) to standard chemo-radiation before surgery increases the chance of complete tumor response. It’s for people with esophageal (or GE junction) cancer that can be removed with curative surgery after treatment.
