Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 19 and older with histologically confirmed metastatic or locally advanced HER2 low gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma who have progressed after first-line treatment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with HER2 high gastric cancer or those who have not received prior treatment may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a combination treatment using T-Dxd and Ramucirumab in patients with advanced HER2 low gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma who have progressed after first-line therapy. The study is divided into two phases: a Phase Ib dose escalation to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), followed by a Phase II evaluation of the treatment's safety and anti-tumor activity at the RP2D. Participants will be monitored for clinical outcomes and side effects throughout the trial.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced HER2 low gastric cancer, potentially improving survival and quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies exploring HER2-targeted therapies in gastric cancer, this specific combination approach is novel and has not been extensively tested.
