Chemotherapy for stomach cancer with blocked intestines
This Phase 2 trial tests a chemotherapy combination (docetaxel, oxaliplatin, and 5-FU) in people with stomach or gastroesophageal cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen and is causing an inoperable bowel blockage. It aims to shrink or control the blockage and cancer when surgery cannot be done.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07347314RecruitingPhase 2
Enfortumab vedotin for advanced small bowel adenocarcinoma
This trial tests a drug called enfortumab vedotin for people with advanced small bowel adenocarcinoma that has worsened after platinum-based chemotherapy. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow the disease.
FukuokaAges 18 years+ - NCT04907643Recruiting
Virtual reality program to reduce stomach-cancer pain
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) can improve pain and other day-to-day symptoms in people with certain gastrointestinal cancers. You’d use VR for pain relief while researchers measure how you’re feeling.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT07795749RecruitingPhase 2
Intraperitoneal paclitaxel with systemic therapy for gastrointestinal cancer with peritoneal spread

It aims to control the cancer and improve how patients feel.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07574502Recruiting
Electrical Stimulation to Help Bowel Recovery After Colon Surgery
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin can help older adults recover bowel function faster after minimally invasive colon cancer surgery. The goal is to reduce the time it takes for the bowel to start working normally again after surgery.
Binzhou, ShandongAges 65 years+ - NCT06560671Recruiting
App vs. paper for colonoscopy prep education
This study compares a new smartphone app to standard paper instructions for helping patients get their bowel ready for colonoscopy. It aims to see which method is easier to understand and leads to a better exam.
HsinchuAges 18 years+ - NCT06560021Enrolling by invitation
Random biopsies in inflammatory bowel disease surveillance
This trial looks at whether taking random biopsies during a routine colonoscopy is helpful for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who are at risk for colon cancer. It aims to understand if random biopsies can detect early signs of cancer or pre-cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06689176Recruiting
Chlorhexidine wash during bladder removal surgery
This trial tests a special antibacterial wash (chlorhexidine) applied to a piece of intestine used to create a new way for urine to leave the body after bladder removal. It aims to reduce infections and improve recovery.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07429760Enrolling by invitation
Bowel prep with or without antibiotics for left-sided colon surgery
This study compares two ways to prepare for left-sided colorectal cancer surgery: cleaning the bowel with liquid alone, or cleaning the bowel plus taking oral antibiotics beforehand. The goal is to see if adding antibiotics reduces infections after surgery.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–60 - NCT07253298Enrolling by invitation

Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06333314RecruitingPhase 2
Dostarlimab for advanced dMMR/MSI cancers (not colorectal or endometrial)
This trial tests a drug called dostarlimab for people with certain advanced cancers that have a specific genetic feature (dMMR/MSI-H). The goal is to see if it helps shrink or control the cancer in people who haven't had other treatments yet.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for bowel cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 43 recruiting bowel 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 bowel 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 bowel 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.
