A Phase II Study of Irinotecan Liposome Plus Fruquintinib and Sintilimab in Second-Line PD-L1-Positive Advanced Gastric Cancer
A Phase II Clinical Study of Irinotecan Liposome Combined With Fruquintinib and Sintilimab as Second-Line Therapy for PD-L1-Positive (CPS ≥ 1) Advanced Gastric Cancer
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 14 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
English Translation (for ClinicalTrials.gov Patient-Friendly Summary): This is a Phase II clinical trial for patients with advanced gastric cancer (stomach cancer). We are looking for participants whose cancer has progressed after one prior standard chemotherapy regimen and whose tumors test positive for the PD-L1 protein. This study is testing the effectiveness of a combination of three medications: 1. Irinotecan liposome: A chemotherapy drug wrapped in tiny fat particles (liposomes) to target tumors more precisely and minimize damage to healthy tissues. 2. Fruquintinib: An anti-angiogenic medication that blocks the growth of new blood vessels feeding the tumor, cutting off its nutrient supply. 3. Sintilimab: An immune checkpoint inhibitor that helps the body's own immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate how well this three-drug combination works and to monitor its safety. Participants will receive the study drugs via intravenous infusion or oral tablets according to the protocol. Their progress will be tracked with CT scans and blood tests every three months. Regular follow-up visits will continue even after stopping treatment to monitor long-term outcomes. Who can participate? Participants must be adults diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer who have progressed after only one prior first-line standard therapy, have PD-L1-positive tumors, and have no severe heart, liver, or kidney disease. Pregnant or breastfeeding women cannot participate. Possible side effects Potential side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hand-foot swelling, low blood cell counts (which can increase infection risk), and fatigue. The research team will closely monitor all participants and provide prompt treatment for any side effects. Important note This study is still in the clinical trial phase. While it offers a potential new treatment option beyond standard care, there is no guarantee that the drugs will be effective for every participant.
