LM-108 plus toripalimab versus paclitaxel for CCR8-positive advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma
Official title: A Phase III, Open-Label, Multicenter, Randomized, Parallel-Group Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of LM-108 in Combination With Toripalimab Versus Paclitaxel Injection as Second-Line Therapy for CCR8-Positive Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer/Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma
Run by LaNova Medicines Limited · NCT07362186 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests whether adding LM-108 (an anti-CCR8 antibody) to the PD-1 blocker toripalimab works better than paclitaxel for adults with CCR8-positive advanced or metastatic gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma after first-line therapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18 years) with histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma who are CCR8-positive, HER2-negative/low, have progressed on or are intolerant to first-line therapy, have ECOG 0–1, at least one lesion, and adequate organ and marrow function are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are CCR8-negative, HER2-positive, eligible for curative surgery or radiotherapy, have ECOG ≥2, poor organ function, or cannot travel to the trial site are unlikely to benefit from enrolling.

What this trial studies
This phase III, multicenter, randomized trial compares the combination of LM-108 and toripalimab to standard paclitaxel chemotherapy in patients with CCR8-positive, HER2-negative or low-expressing locally advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Eligible patients must have progressed on or been intolerant to prior first-line therapy, have at least one measurable lesion, ECOG performance status 0–1, and adequate organ function; CCR8 status is confirmed by a central lab. The primary goals are to measure efficacy (such as response and survival endpoints) and safety of the combination versus paclitaxel. Patients will receive intravenous infusions per the assigned arm and be followed for tumor response, adverse events, and survival.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this regimen could provide better tumor control and longer survival than standard paclitaxel for patients with CCR8-positive advanced gastric/GEJ cancer and may offer a more targeted immunotherapy option.
How similar studies have gone: PD-1 inhibitors like toripalimab have shown activity in gastric cancer, and targeting tumor-regulatory cells is an emerging approach, but direct clinical evidence for CCR8-targeting antibodies remains limited and largely investigational.
