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.
