Study on Cadonilimab and Chemotherapy for Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer

Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Sponsor score: 60

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT07631000

This clinical trial is exploring whether adding the drug cadonilimab to standard chemotherapy can be a safe and effective treatment for people with locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer that can be surgically removed.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The aim of this study is to determine if combining cadonilimab with the usual chemotherapy treatment is a safe and effective option for patients with locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer that can be surgically removed. Researchers want to see if this combination can improve treatment outcomes compared to chemotherapy alone.
