Safety and Efficacy of Fruquintinib Plus Nab-Paclitaxel and Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Injection in the Second-Line Treatment for Immunotherapy-experienced Advanced Gastric Cancer
A Prospective, Single-Arm, Phase Ⅱ Clinical Trial Evaluating Fruquintinib in Combination With Paclitaxel for Injection (Albumin-bound) and Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Injection as Second-Line Therapy in Advanced Gastric Cancer Patients Previously Received Immunotherapy
Safety and Efficacy of Fruquintinib Plus Nab-Paclitaxel and Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Injection in the Second-Line Treatment for Immunotherapy-experienced Advanced Gastric Cancer (NCT07392346) is a Phase 2 interventional studying Gastric Cancer Adenocarcinoma Metastatic, sponsored by Dai, Guanghai. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.
About This Trial
Immunotherapy has established the new standard for first-line treatment of advanced or metastatic gastric cancer. However, current second-line options-predominantly consisting of targeted therapy plus chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone-confer only modest clinical benefit. Notably, pivotal phase III second-line trials (REGARD, RAINBOW, RAINBOW-Asia, FRUTIGA) exclusively enrolled patients who progressed on chemotherapy regimens; thus, high-quality evidence guiding second-line treatment specifically for immunotherapy-refractory patients remains scarce, representing a significant unmet medical need. Anti-angiogenic agents have demonstrated capacity to ameliorate the hypoxic, immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment while exerting synergistic anti-tumor effects when combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Exploratory studies evaluating immunotherapy combined with anti-angiogenic therapy plus chemotherapy in advanced gastric cancer patients after first-line failure have yielded encouraging efficacy signals (NCT03966118, NCT04982276), with objective response rates of 30-40% and median progression-free survival approaching 6 months. Based on this, the investigators aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of fruquintinib combined with nab-paclitaxel and Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Injection (a novel bispecific antibody) as second-line treatment for patients with advanced gastric cancer who have experienced disease progression during or after first-line immunotherapy-containing regimens.
What Stage of Research Is This?
Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Gastric Cancer Adenocarcinoma Metastatic 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.
Target enrollment of 68 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Gastric Cancer Adenocarcinoma Metastatic subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who can participate in NCT07392346?
Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.
How do I contact the trial site for NCT07392346?
Contact information for this trial may be available directly on the ClinicalTrials.gov record. Click "View on ClinicalTrials.gov" in the sidebar for the official source. Always discuss any potential trial with your doctor before contacting the study site.
Is participating in a clinical trial safe?
Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
