Radiation plus immunotherapy and chemo before stomach cancer surgery
Treatments studied
This trial tests whether adding a targeted radiation treatment during surgery to the usual combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy helps people with advanced stomach cancer before they have surgery to remove the tumor. The goal is to see if this extra treatment can improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial is testing a combination of three medicines—an immunotherapy (anti-PD-1), an immune booster (thymalfasin), and a chemotherapy regimen (SOX)—given before surgery to shrink stage III stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer and improve outcomes.
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 an immunotherapy drug called sintilimab to chemotherapy and radiation before surgery can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes for people with gastroesophageal junction cancer. It is designed for patients who have not had previous treatment for this cancer.
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (QL1706) and chemotherapy before surgery for people with early-stage stomach cancer. The goal is to see if this approach shrinks the tumor and improves surgical outcomes.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (FLOT), an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab), and short-course radiation before surgery for gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes.
