ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating a new treatment combination of Serplulimab, Lenvatinib, and Paclitaxel for patients with advanced gastric cancer or cancer at the junction of the stomach and esophagus, specifically after they have already tried immunotherapy (a type of treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer). The goal is to see how effective this combination is in improving patients' health and managing their disease after previous treatments.

To be eligible for the trial, participants need to be between 18 and 75 years old and have confirmed advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. Additionally, they should have certain test results indicating their cancer's characteristics, such as being PD-L1 positive. Participants should also have their cancer under control and be able to provide a tissue sample for testing. Throughout the trial, patients will receive these treatments and be closely monitored for any side effects or changes in their condition. It's important to note that those with certain health issues or previous treatments may not be eligible. If you or a loved one are considering this trial, it could be a chance to access a new treatment option while contributing to important research in cancer care.
