PD-1 immunotherapy plus chemotherapy before and after gastric surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies whether adding a PD-1 immune therapy to chemotherapy around the time of surgery can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced stomach or stomach–esophagus junction cancer. It aims to better control the cancer before and reduce the chance it comes back after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 75 years old and can consent to the study
- Your stomach or stomach–esophagus junction cancer has been newly diagnosed and is planned for surgical removal
- Your cancer scans show measurable spots that can be tracked (about 1 cm or larger)
- You are well enough for treatment (KPS score 80–100) and can receive chemotherapy
- You do not have spread to distant organs or return of cancer

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy (a treatment that helps your immune system fight cancer) along with chemotherapy and radiation before surgery can help shrink tumors in people with stomach cancer at the esophagus-stomach junction. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective before the main surgery.
This study tests whether adding cadonilimab (and possibly AK117) to chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with resectable stomach or stomach–esophagus cancer. It aims to see if this combination works better than chemotherapy alone, while still being safe around surgery.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding a PD-1 antibody (JS001/toripalimab) to chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. It aims to help shrink the tumor and make surgery more effective.
This Phase 3 trial studies whether adding an immune medicine called PD-1 (given as an “inhibitor”) to standard chemotherapy and chemoradiation after stomach/GEJ cancer surgery can lower the risk of cancer coming back. You may qualify if you’ve had surgery removing the tumor and lymph nodes showed higher-risk disease.
This trial tests a new combination of low-dose radiation, an immunotherapy drug (tirelizumab), and chemotherapy (SOX) given before surgery for locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors more effectively.
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug sintilimab to standard chemotherapy (SOX) after surgery helps prevent stomach cancer from returning. It’s for people whose tumors have a protein called PD-L1 and who had cancer in at least 7 lymph nodes.
