Recruiting studies in Minnesota
- NCT06203600RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Nivolumab plus standard treatment for advanced stomach or esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug nivolumab to standard treatment works better for advanced stomach or esophageal cancer. It is for people whose cancer has already progressed after a first round of chemo plus immunotherapy.
Bemidji, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06078709RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery radiation and chemo for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation combined with chemotherapy (FOLFOX) before surgery for esophageal or stomach-junction cancer. It aims to reduce side effects and still improve outcomes.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05677490RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy for advanced stomach or esophagus cancer
This trial compares two chemotherapy combinations, with or without an immunotherapy drug called nivolumab, for people with advanced stomach, esophagus, or gastroesophageal junction cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see which treatment works better and if adding immunotherapy helps.
Aitkin, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07212491Enrolling by invitation
Gentle cell sampling to check for early signs of esophageal cancer
This study tests less invasive ways to detect high-grade dysplasia (very abnormal cells) and esophageal cancer in people with Barrett's esophagus, a condition that can increase cancer risk. It looks for these changes using cell samples taken during a routine endoscopy, which may be quicker and more comfortable than standard biopsies.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–90 - NCT06005493RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for advanced stomach, esophagus, or pancreas cancer
This trial tests a new medication that targets a specific protein (CLDN18.2) found on some cancer cells. It may help people with advanced or metastatic stomach, esophageal, or pancreatic cancer who have already tried other treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07431281RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for advanced stomach cancer with CLDN18.2
This trial tests a new drug combination for people with advanced stomach cancer that has not been treated before. It looks at two groups: one with PD-L1 (a protein that helps decide if immunotherapy works), and one without. The treatment includes an antibody-drug conjugate (Sonesitatug Vedotin) plus standard chemotherapy, with or without an immunotherapy drug.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04389632RecruitingPhase 1
Sigvotatug vedotin for advanced solid tumors that spread
This early-stage study tests a drug called sigvotatug vedotin in people with advanced solid cancers that cannot be removed or have spread. It aims to see how well the treatment works and what side effects it causes.
Coon Rapids, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07182149RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called NRM-823 for people with several types of advanced cancer that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how well it works.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07221149RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Pumitamig vs Nivolumab for untreated stomach or esophagus cancer
This trial compares two treatments for people with advanced stomach, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal cancer that has not been treated before. One group gets pumitamig plus chemotherapy, the other gets nivolumab plus chemotherapy. The goal is to see which combination works better.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT00288119Recruiting
Study genes in Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal cancer
This study looks at genetic (inherited) factors that may be linked to Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal cancer. It may help researchers understand why these conditions happen in some families and others do not.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06071845Recruiting
Testing a simpler sponge test for Barrett's esophagus
This study tests a new, less invasive way to collect cells from the esophagus using a small sponge on a string (called Cytosponge). It aims to see if this method can accurately detect Barrett's esophagus, a condition that can raise the risk of esophageal cancer.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–90 - NCT05753748Recruiting
Surveillance vs. endoscopic treatment for Barrett's esophagus with low-grade dysplasia
This study compares two approaches for people with Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia: regular surveillance (monitoring with endoscopies) versus endoscopic treatment to remove the abnormal cells. It aims to see which approach is better at preventing progression to more serious conditions.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–89 - NCT05530343Recruiting
Two ways to sample tissue during Barrett’s follow-up
This study compares two tissue-collection methods during an endoscopy for Barrett’s esophagus to see which one detects concerning changes better. Your results could help improve how doctors check Barrett’s over time.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–89 - NCT00587314Enrolling by invitation
Testing ablation treatment for Barrett’s with precancer changes
This trial studies whether an “ablation” procedure (destroying abnormal esophagus lining) works well for people with Barrett’s esophagus that has high-grade precancer changes or very early cancer. It may help find safer or more effective ways to prevent the condition from worsening.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–90 - NCT06710756RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lead-212 therapy for solid tumors
This trial tests a new radioactive drug, Lead-212 PSV359, for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The drug is designed to find and attack cancer cells.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–90 - NCT05059444Recruiting
Blood test to catch cancer early after treatment
This study looks for signs of cancer left in the body after treatment using a simple blood test (called a liquid biopsy). It aims to see if the test can catch cancer that might come back earlier than regular scans.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06605404Recruiting
Pan-tumor study of a blood test after cancer surgery
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for leftover cancer cells after surgery. It is for people with different types of solid tumors who are planning to have surgery to cure their cancer. The goal is to see if the test can help guide future treatment decisions.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.

What taking part in a esophageal adenocarcinoma study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

- Do I have to live in Minnesota to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Minnesota, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a esophageal adenocarcinoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
