ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at a combination of three medications—Ramucirumab (Cyramza), Nal-IRI (ONIVYDE), and Trifluridine/Tipiracil (Lonsurf)—to see if they can help patients with metastatic gastric cancer who have already received one type of treatment. The main goal is to find the highest dose of Nal-IRI that can be safely given alongside the other two medications and to see how effective this combination is in shrinking tumors or controlling the disease.
To participate in this trial, patients need to have a confirmed diagnosis of metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma and should have only had one prior treatment. They must be between 20 and 80 years old and have a life expectancy of at least three months. Additionally, they need to meet certain health criteria, like having good kidney and liver function. Participants can expect to receive close monitoring during the trial to assess how their body responds to the treatment and to ensure their safety. It’s important to note that this trial is not yet recruiting participants, so there’s still some time before it begins.
