Fecal transplant, chemo, and immunotherapy for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of fecal microbiota transplant (FMT), chemotherapy (SOX), and an immunotherapy drug (Sintilimab) as a first treatment for advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for advanced cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,176 recruiting advanced cancer studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a advanced cancer trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a advanced cancer trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
