Iron medicine plus standard therapy for advanced stomach cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving ferric carboxymaltose (an IV iron treatment) helps people with advanced stomach or stomach–esophagus cancer and iron-deficiency anemia. The goal is to improve safety and how well the standard first-line cancer treatment works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 19 or older
- Your cancer is advanced (cannot be removed) or has spread, and it is confirmed as stomach or stomach–esophagus adenocarcinoma
- You have iron-deficiency anemia (low hemoglobin around 8 to under 11, plus low iron stores by specific blood tests)
- You have not had palliative chemo medicines yet for advanced/recurrent stomach or GEJ cancer, and you are planning first-line treatment with fluoropyrimidine plus platinum (with possible targeted therapy or immunotherapy)
- You can likely stay in the study for at least 24 weeks and you are not severely ill (performance status 0 to 2)
- You meet major safety checks: weight 35 kg or more and kidney/liver function and infections are not too severe

This trial compares two types of IV iron treatments to see which one works better for people who have anemia after gastric cancer surgery. If you're eligible, you could get either ferric carboxymaltose or iron sucrose to help boost your iron levels and improve your anemia.
This trial tests whether adding an iron supplement to a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective.
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving iron (as ferric carboxymaltose) after complex major surgery can improve recovery by helping your body rebuild blood and oxygen levels after blood loss. It may help patients who are having certain types of aortic, liver, or pancreas operations.
This study compares two intravenous iron treatments to see if one works as well as the other in people with iron deficiency anemia. It may help improve your iron levels and reduce anemia symptoms.
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving a specific iron medicine before major gynecologic cancer surgery can improve recovery. It’s mainly for people with low blood counts from low iron stores before surgery.
This study tests whether giving an iron infusion before surgery can improve outcomes for people with gastric cancer who are going to have their stomach removed. The goal is to see if it helps with recovery or reduces complications.
