In patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC), resistance to treatment with trastuzumab and cytotoxic chemotherapy remains high. Here, the authors report the results of a phase Ib/II clinical trial assessing the safety and clinical response to a quadruplet regimen of pembrolizumab, trastuzumab, capecitabine, and cisplatin as a first-line therapy for HER2-positive AGC.
