Testing paclitaxel and ramucirumab with or without zanidatamab for HER2+ stomach cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests adding a new drug (zanidatamab) to standard chemotherapy (paclitaxel and ramucirumab) for people with advanced HER2-positive stomach, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal cancer that has worsened after previous treatment. It aims to see if the combination works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have advanced stomach, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread to other parts of the body.
- Your cancer is HER2-positive (a specific protein marker) confirmed by a central lab.
- You have already tried and your cancer progressed on a treatment that included trastuzumab (Herceptin) and platinum chemotherapy.
- You are at least 18 years old, in generally good physical condition (ECOG 0 or 1), and expected to live at least 12 weeks.
- You are willing to provide blood and tumor samples for research, and can travel for treatment and follow-up visits.

This trial tests a new combination of targeted therapy (zanidatamab), immunotherapy (pembrolizumab), and chemotherapy for people with HER2-positive and PD-L1-positive advanced stomach or gastroesophageal cancer. It aims to see if this combination is more effective than current treatments.
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (sintilimab, ramucirumab, and paclitaxel) for people with stomach cancer that returned soon after finishing initial chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer and improve outcomes.
This trial tests a new drug called zanidatamab combined with standard chemotherapy before surgery for HER2-positive stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It aims to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
This trial tests a combination of anti-cancer medicines for HER2-positive advanced stomach cancer that has already been treated once. It may help shrink tumors and slow the disease by targeting HER2 and blocking tumor blood supply.
This trial tests adding zanidatamab (an antibody targeting HER2) to standard chemotherapy before and after surgery for operable HER2-positive stomach or esophagus cancer. It aims to see if this combination improves outcomes.
