New treatment option for Stomach Cancer

Official title KN026 in Combination With Chemotherapy in HER2 Positive Gastric Cancer Subjects Who Have Failed First-line Therapy

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05427383

What this study is testing

What is KN026/Placbo Injection?

KN026/Placbo Injection is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for stomach cancer.

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
KN026-001 is a two-stage study (Open-label stage/Randomized stage). Open-label stage is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KN026 and chemotherapy when given together.
  • Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
