Study on Nivolumab with FOLFOX and Regorafenib for HER2-Negative Esophagogastric Cancer
Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT04757363
This clinical trial is exploring a new treatment combination of nivolumab, FOLFOX, and regorafenib to see if it is safe and effective for people with HER2-negative esophagogastric cancer that has spread.

Program Overview
The study aims to find out if combining three treatments—nivolumab, FOLFOX, and regorafenib—can be a safe and effective way to treat HER2-negative esophagogastric cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Nivolumab is an antibody that helps the immune system attack cancer cells by blocking a protein that usually slows down the immune response. FOLFOX is a mix of three chemotherapy drugs that work by damaging cancer cells' DNA, causing them to stop growing or die. Regorafenib is a drug that blocks a protein cancer cells need to grow, which may slow down or shrink the cancer. Researchers believe this combination might work better than standard chemotherapy alone.
