Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-80 with unresectable advanced or metastatic HER2-negative gastric or esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma who have not received prior anti-tumor therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with resectable tumors or those who have previously undergone anti-tumor therapies may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the safety and efficacy of combining fuquintinib with PD-1 inhibitors and first-line chemotherapy in patients with inoperable HER2-negative advanced gastric or esophagogastric junction cancer. Eligible patients will receive six cycles of this combined treatment, followed by maintenance therapy until disease progression or intolerable toxicity occurs. The study aims to evaluate the potential benefits of this combination approach in improving patient outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new effective option for patients with advanced gastric cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar combinations of immunotherapy and chemotherapy in treating various cancers, suggesting potential success for this approach.
