About This Trial

Evaluate the safety and efficacy of PD-1 antibody Carilizumab combined with apatinib for the conversion therapy of unresectable stage III and IV dMMR gastric cancer.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Gastric Cancer and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 20 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Treatments Being Tested

DRUG

Carilizumab and Apatinib

After every 2 cycles of meparticipants. Apatinib was discontinued for one cycle and an additional course of Carilizumab was administered in preparation for surgery.
