Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with unresectable locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic MSI-H gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma, confirmed MSI-H by PCR/NGS (or IHC with MSI-H verification), who have not received prior systemic anti-tumor therapy for current disease or whose prior therapy ended 6+ months ago.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without MSI-H status or those who cannot tolerate combination therapy may not benefit from this approach.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
In this randomized, non-inferiority phase II study, eligible adults with unresectable or metastatic MSI-H gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer are assigned to receive first-line chemotherapy plus a PD-1/PD-L1 antibody with either iparomlimab or tuvonralimab. The trial compares two cohorts to see if adding these agents can achieve similar efficacy with potential benefits in safety or tolerability. Enrollment requires MSI-H confirmation by PCR/NGS (or IHC with confirmation), adequate performance status, and consent. Sites are in multiple Chinese hospitals, led by Peking University with collaboration from partner institutions and industry.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could improve response rates or durability of response for MSI-H gastric cancer patients receiving first-line therapy.
How similar studies have gone: Prior studies in immunotherapy combinations for MSI-H cancers have shown activity, but this specific trial combines two agents with first-line therapy in gastric cancer and is relatively novel.
