Study summary

In this explorative study, patients with resectabel cancer of the stomach or stomach-oesophagealjunction cancer will receive neoadjuvant treatment.

The treatment will be 1 cyle atzolizumab monotherapy, followed by 4 cycle of atezolizumab and capecitabine, oxaliplatin and docetaxel.

Read the detailed description

In this single-centre, open-label, monocenter study, the investigators will enroll 20 patients with resectable cancer of the stomach of GEJunction.

All patients will be treated with 1 cycle of atezolizumab monotherapy, followed by 4 cycles of combinationtherapy of atezolizumab, capecitabine, oxaliplatin and docetaxel, followed by surgery.

Inclusion criteria

  • signed
  • patients age 18 and older
  • primary resectable, confirmed gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • no signs of distant
  • no active or history of disease or immune deficiency
  • no significant cardiovascular disease
  • no major surgical procedure within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment
  • no current treatment with anti-viral therapy or
  • no pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • no history of within 3 years prior to screening
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Timeline

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Mar 2018 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Oct 2026, 103 months after the start.

Of 295 non-industry phase 2 interventional studies under Stomach Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 57 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 33 and three quarters within 76. This study's planned 103 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 360 studies reached it within 50 months; a quarter within 31 and three quarters within 75.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
