Phase 2 Stomach Cancer Trial, Recruiting

Written by an AI model from ClinicalTrials.gov eligibility criteria and checked on a sample basis. Please confirm against the original criteria.

Who might be able to join this trial:

• People who have been diagnosed with stomach (gastric) adenocarcinoma confirmed by a tissue test (pathology)
• People whose fluid build-up in the abdomen (ascites) has been confirmed to contain cancer cells through a fluid sample test
• People whose abdominal fluid build-up has been confirmed by a CT scan and is classified as moderate or large in amount (grade 2 or 3)
• People aged between 18 and 75 years
• People who have not received any drugs injected directly into the abdominal cavity, or any immunotherapy treatment, in the past 4 weeks
• People who are in a reasonably stable general condition, with a functional ability score of 70 or above on the Karnofsky scale, and an expected survival of more than 3 months
• People whose blood counts are within acceptable ranges (including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets meeting specific minimum levels)
• People whose blood clotting function is normal and who do not have a tendency to bleed (based on a specific clotting test result)
• People whose liver function test results are within acceptable limits
• People whose kidney function test results are within acceptable limits

Who may not be able to join:

• People whose abdominal fluid build-up is caused by something other than cancer (for example, liver disease or infection)
• People who have medical reasons that make immunotherapy unsafe for them (such as long-term steroid use, or a history of radiation-related lung, liver, or bowel damage)
• People with serious heart or lung conditions that could affect treatment
• People with extensive internal scarring in the abdomen, trapped pockets of fluid, a history of bowel obstruction, or cancer that has spread very widely to distant parts of the body in a late-stage setting
• Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant
• People with very low blood protein levels (albumin below 30 g/L)
• People who are known to have had a serious allergic reaction to the trial drug or similar medicines
• People with other severe ongoing health conditions that, in the treating doctor's judgement, could affect the study results or make participation unsafe
• People who have difficulty with thinking or memory, or who the treating doctor believes are unlikely to follow the treatment plan consistently
• People who are currently participating in another clinical trial, or who have done so within the past 4 weeks
• People who have been diagnosed with another type of cancer in addition to stomach cancer
• People who, in the treating doctor's overall judgement, are not considered suitable for the trial
