Tests treatment safety and results for Advanced Unresectable Gastric Adenocarcinoma
Official title A Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Tislelizumab Plus Chemotherapy for Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic Gastric or Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma and Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Racial and Ethnic Minority Patients in the United States
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07554521
What this study is testing
What is Tislelizumab?
Tislelizumab is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for advanced unresectable gastric adenocarcinoma.
Also referred to as BGB-A317.
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
- The purpose of this study is to characterize the clinical effects of tislelizumab, including pharmacokinetics (PK), activity, and safety assessments in US racial and ethnic minority patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, programmed death-ligand 1(PD-L1)-positive, unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal cancer (GAC/GEA) or esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The study duration will be up to approximately 6 years.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
