Immunotherapy, thymalfasin, and chemo before surgery for stomach cancer
This trial is testing a combination of three medicines—an immunotherapy (anti-PD-1), an immune booster (thymalfasin), and a chemotherapy regimen (SOX)—given before surgery to shrink stage III stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer and improve outcomes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06713993Recruiting
Esophageal Cancer Study: Using Noninvasive Tests to Guide Care
This study is looking for people newly diagnosed with esophageal cancer or cancer at the stomach-esophagus junction who are planning to have surgery. The goal is to see if certain noninvasive tests (like scans) can help predict how the disease will progress.

QL1706 combined with SOX before and after stomach cancer surgery
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (QL1706 plus chemotherapy SOX) given before and after surgery for stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It aims to shrink the tumor before surgery and help prevent recurrence afterward.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT02988921Recruiting
MRI and CT planning for esophagus or stomach-junction cancer treatment
This study checks whether MRI and CT scans can better measure how esophageal or stomach-junction tumors respond during chemoradiotherapy and help doctors map the exact treatment area. It may help improve targeting while you receive standard treatment.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07441785Recruiting
Comparing stomach reconstruction types after upper stomach cancer surgery
This study compares different ways to rebuild the digestive tract after removing the upper part of the stomach for cancer. It aims to find which method works best for eating and quality of life.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT05715931RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery chemotherapy plus anti-HER2 and anti–immune therapy for HER2 stomach cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests adding chemotherapy plus trastuzumab and toripalimab around the time of surgery for HER2-positive, locally advanced stomach or esophagus-stomach junction cancer. It aims to shrink the cancer and reduce the chance it comes back by attacking it through more than one pathway.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT04455282Recruiting
Blood test-guided surgery for gastroesophageal cancer
This trial studies blood-based biomarkers to help doctors choose the best individualized surgical treatment for gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. If you qualify, you’ll get standard care plus additional testing to see whether the blood results can guide surgery more precisely.
Cologne, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07556640RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combination for stomach cancer with abdominal spread
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs (LM-302, S-1, and paclitaxel) with or without an immune-boosting drug (cadonilimab) for gastric cancer that has spread to the abdominal lining. The goal is to shrink tumors and improve survival in patients whose cancer cells show a specific protein marker called Claudin 18.2.
Shanghai, Huangpu DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT05356520Recruiting
Which operation is best for Siewert type II stomach cancer
This trial compares different surgical approaches for removing Siewert type II cancer at the esophagus–stomach junction. It aims to find which operation works best for people who can have the tumor removed.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06300879Recruiting
New surgery technique for upper stomach or junction cancer
This study tests a new surgical technique for removing cancer in the upper stomach or where the stomach meets the esophagus. It aims to see if this technique is safe and effective for people with early-stage adenocarcinoma who haven't had other cancer treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05729646RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery chemotherapy with toripalimab for dMMR stomach cancer
This trial studies whether adding toripalimab (an immune therapy) to chemotherapy before and around surgery can improve outcomes for people with certain mismatch repair–deficient stomach cancers. It mainly targets tumors that are dMMR and not HER2-positive.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT04958720Recruiting
Registry for esophagus and stomach cancer patients
This study keeps an organized record of people diagnosed with esophagus, gastroesophageal junction, or stomach cancer. It helps researchers learn from real-world outcomes, based on health information collected over time.
