Chemo for stomach cancer to make tumors easier to remove
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination chemotherapy plan—paclitaxel (albumin-bound), oxaliplatin, and S-1 given before surgery—to try to shrink stomach cancer and improve the chance of successful tumor removal. It is for people whose cancer is locally advanced or has spread, but might still be resectable (removable) in certain cases.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 to 75, and you can take part as a male or female patient
- Your stomach biopsy confirms gastric adenocarcinoma, and the cancer is HER2 negative
- Your overall strength is good (Karnofsky score 70 or higher), and you can undergo a larger abdominal operation if needed
- Your heart pumping function looks adequate (left ventricular ejection fraction 50% or higher)
- Your blood tests are safe enough for chemo (enough red cells, white cells, and platelets) and liver/kidney labs are within limits
- You have not had prior chemo, radiation, or cancer immunotherapy for this stomach cancer (except steroids)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (serplulimab) combined with standard chemotherapy before surgery for patients with locally advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
This trial tests adding the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal) along with standard IV chemotherapy for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. The goal is to see if this combination helps control the cancer better than standard treatment alone.
This trial tests a new treatment combination for locally advanced stomach cancer. First, you would receive a heated chemotherapy wash inside your abdomen (HIPEC). Then you would get the immunotherapy drug serplulimab plus standard chemotherapy (SOX or XELOX) before surgery, to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
This trial studies whether adding paclitaxel chemotherapy around the time of surgery can improve outcomes for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma that has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum). It targets cancers confirmed by testing of belly fluid or by laparoscopy/laparotomy, and may help by treating cancer cells right at the time of surgery.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs (nab-paclitaxel, oxaliplatin, and S-1) plus an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) given before surgery for younger people (ages 16 to 45) with stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this approach shrinks tumors and improves outcomes.
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (Disitamab Vedotin, Toripalimab, and XELOX) given before and after surgery for gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment helps shrink the tumor and prevent it from coming back.
