Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-75 with pathologically confirmed HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with serious allergies to trial drugs or those with uncontrolled cardiovascular or cerebrovascular conditions may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This Phase II clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of Disitamab Vedotin combined with Sintilimab and S-1 compared to Trastuzumab plus chemotherapy with or without Sintilimab for patients with HER2-positive advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. The study is randomized, multicenter, and open-label, aiming to determine the best first-line treatment approach for this patient population. Participants will be monitored for measurable lesions and overall response to the treatment regimen.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a more effective first-line therapy option for patients with advanced HER2-positive gastric cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar combination therapies in HER2-positive gastric cancer, indicating potential for success in this approach.
