This trial is for people who have already had chemotherapy and surgery for stomach cancer. It compares different follow-up approaches to see if skipping more chemo after surgery is safe and effective.
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation, chemotherapy, and an immunotherapy drug (AK112) for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has progressed after first-line treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
This trial tests if surgery to remove the stomach and some tumors, after a few months of chemo, helps people whose stomach cancer has spread to only a few nearby spots (like the lining of the belly, liver, or lymph nodes) live longer compared to chemo alone.
This trial studies which surgical approach (removing lymph nodes in a more limited vs more extensive way) works best for gastric cancer after you’ve already started chemotherapy before surgery. It’s aimed at improving cancer control while keeping the operation as safe as possible.
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 combination of chemotherapy drugs given before surgery for locally advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It aims to see if this approach helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
