Predicting treatment response in advanced gastric cancer using multi-omics data

Predicting Treatment Response to Immunotherapy Combined with Chemotherapy in Advanced Gastric/gastroesophageal Junction Cancer Based on the Multi-omics Information During Tumor Evolution.

Zhejiang Cancer Hospital · NCT06642857

This study is trying to see if certain biological markers in blood, saliva, and feces can help predict how well immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy works for people with advanced gastric cancer.

What this trial studies

This project aims to integrate multi-omics data to identify key features that correlate with the therapeutic effects of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy in patients with advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancer. The study will extract and analyze various biological samples, including blood, saliva, and feces, to screen for potential molecular markers and dominant microbiota that may predict treatment efficacy. Additionally, a multimodal predictive model will be established to optimize clinical decision-making for patients undergoing this combined treatment approach.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 to 75 with advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma who have not received prior anti-tumor treatments.

Not a fit: Patients with HER2 positive tumors, those who have received previous anti-tumor treatments, or individuals with severe comorbidities may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the ability to predict which patients will benefit from immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy, leading to more personalized treatment plans.

How similar studies have performed: While the approach of using multi-omics data for treatment prediction is gaining traction, this specific application in advanced gastric cancer is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
