Recruiting PHASE2 Gastric Adenocarcinoma

New treatment option for Gastric Adenocarcinoma

Official title Anti-PD-1 and CapOx for the First-line Treatment of dMMR Esophagogastric Cancer (AuspiCiOus)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05177133

What this study is testing

What is Capecitabine?

Capecitabine is an investigational medicine, given as an once-weekly, being studied as a potential treatment for gastric adenocarcinoma.

Also referred to as Xeloda.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
To investigate the effects of the combination of two chemotherapies followed by immunostimulants on the interferon gamma expression and infiltration of cytotoxic T cells in the tumour microenvironment in patients with previously untreated metastatic or locally advanced esophagogastric cancer.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
