São PauloAges 18–75 - NCT04483076RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo before stomach surgery with different cycles
This trial studies whether giving oxaliplatin plus S-1 (SOX) chemotherapy before stomach surgery works best when given for different cycle lengths. It may help shrink stage III gastric cancer before a standard D2 gastrectomy and improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT04843215Recruiting
Surgery comparison for advanced stomach cancer after initial surgery
This trial studies whether removing all of the fatty lining (omentum) or only part of it during surgery leads to better outcomes in people with advanced stomach cancer. It also checks that participants can safely have the same stomach-cancer chemotherapy plan after surgery.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT03787056Recruiting
Blood test marker study in many cancer types
This study measures a blood marker called progastrin (at diagnosis and during treatment) to see how well it predicts response or outcomes. It may help doctors choose or monitor treatment more precisely for several cancer types.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT03972956Recruiting
Collecting samples during cancer or surgery visits
This trial looks at collecting (taking) medical samples from people who need surgery for colorectal cancer, stomach (gastric) cancer, or a non-cancer condition. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve how treatment is planned.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT05537129Recruiting
Laparoscopic vs open stomach surgery for stomach cancer
This trial compares two ways surgeons remove the entire stomach (total gastrectomy): laparoscopic (small keyhole cuts) versus open surgery (one larger cut). It’s testing which approach is safer and works better for people with certain stages of stomach cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–80 - NCT05618821RecruitingPhase 2
Indocyanine green dye during stomach surgery for leftover cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether using a special light-activated dye (indocyanine green) during laparoscopic stomach surgery can improve surgical outcomes for people with remnant (leftover) stomach cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It may help surgeons better find lymph nodes while operating.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05723718Recruiting
Testing body-water measurements in people with stomach cancer
This trial uses a painless machine to measure your body composition (mainly fluid and muscle) using bioelectrical impedance. It’s looking at people with stage II–III stomach cancer who are receiving standard “multi-treatment” care, to see whether these measurements are useful during treatment.
LublinAges 18–100 - NCT06042998Recruiting
Robot vs. laparoscopic surgery for stomach cancer after chemo
This trial compares robotic and laparoscopic surgery for stomach cancer patients who have already received chemotherapy or targeted therapy. It aims to see which approach leads to better outcomes after neoadjuvant (pre-surgery) treatment.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT06043466RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for CEA-positive advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new cell therapy called CAR-T that targets cancer cells with a protein called CEA. It is for people with certain advanced cancers that have not responded to standard treatments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05551416Recruiting
Study to detect and prevent early stomach cancer
This study looks for early warning changes in the stomach and aims to improve early detection and prevention. Depending on your situation, you may be grouped as having stomach symptoms, early lesions that might be removed, already-diagnosed stomach cancer, or a comparison group without stomach problems.
Palma de Mallorca, Balearic IslandsAges 18 years+ - NCT06102772Recruiting
Combination immunotherapy and targeted therapy for advanced gastric cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—adebrelimab (an immunotherapy), fruquintinib (a targeted therapy to cut off blood supply to the tumor), and a chemotherapy (paclitaxel or albumin-bound paclitaxel)—in people with advanced stomach/gastric cancer whose disease has worsened after one prior chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this new mix can help control the cancer.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06102785Recruiting
Fruquintinib plus TAS102 for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, fruquintinib and TAS102, for people with advanced stomach cancer that has stopped responding to at least one prior chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this new combination can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05140746Recruiting
Predicting how well chemotherapy works before stomach surgery
This study looks for ways to predict whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy (chemo given before surgery) will work well in people with locally advanced stomach cancer. It may help doctors choose the best treatment plan sooner based on your test results.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07855640Recruiting
Immunotherapy plus chemo for advanced stomach cancer with fluid in belly
This trial tests a new combination for advanced stomach cancer that has spread and caused fluid buildup in the belly (malignant ascites). It combines an immunotherapy drug (anti-PD-1) with standard chemotherapy and a targeted chemotherapy given directly into the belly to see if it can shrink the cancer and help you feel better.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05975749RecruitingPhase 2
Trastuzumab, serplulimab, and chemo after stomach cancer surgery
This Phase 2 study looks at whether adding serplulimab to trastuzumab and chemotherapy after surgery can lower the chance of stomach cancer coming back. It is for people with HER2-positive stage II–III stomach adenocarcinoma who have already had curative surgery with lymph node removal.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–80 - NCT04660760RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two treatments for advanced stomach cancer after first treatment
This study tests two different treatment options for advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has grown after earlier chemotherapy. One option combines a targeted therapy (ramucirumab) with a chemotherapy pill (trifluridine/tipiracil), and the other is a standard chemotherapy drug (paclitaxel). The goal is to see which approach works better for people whose cancer has progressed, with the hope of improving outcomes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06341595RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo, radiation and immunotherapy before surgery for stomach cancer with PALM
This trial tests combining chemotherapy, radiation, and an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) before surgery for advanced stomach cancer that has spread to lymph nodes near the aorta (called PALM). The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor enough to allow complete removal.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05494086Recruiting
Laparoscopic stomach surgery for early gastric cancer
This study looks at a surgical technique (“dual-port laparoscopic distal gastrectomy”) for people with stomach adenocarcinoma at an early, specific stage. The goal is to remove the tumor with clean margins (called an “R0” result) and see how this approach works safely.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07850882Recruiting
Virus injection plus immunotherapy for advanced colorectal, stomach, or liver cancer
This study tests whether a special virus injected directly into tumors can help your body fight cancer when combined with an immunotherapy drug. It is for people with advanced colorectal, stomach, or liver cancer that has spread and who have tumors that can be reached for injection.
Guangdong, FoshanAges 18–75 - NCT07835087Recruiting
Guided removal of sentinel lymph nodes in early stomach cancer
This trial tests a new image-guided method to find and remove sentinel lymph nodes (the first nodes where cancer might spread) in people with early stomach cancer. The goal is to precisely remove only the affected lymph nodes during surgery, which might mean a less extensive operation and fewer side effects.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT06161207RecruitingPhase 3
Laparoscopic surgery for stomach cancer using 3D and dye
This trial tests a new way to remove stomach cancer using 3D-4K cameras and a special dye during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. It may help surgeons see the cancer better and remove it more precisely.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for gastric cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 589 recruiting gastric 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 gastric 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 gastric 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.
