Cologne, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT04997837RecruitingPhase 3
Adjuvant chemo with or without PD-1 for stomach cancer after surgery
This Phase 3 trial studies whether adding an immune medicine called PD-1 (given as an “inhibitor”) to standard chemotherapy and chemoradiation after stomach/GEJ cancer surgery can lower the risk of cancer coming back. You may qualify if you’ve had surgery removing the tumor and lymph nodes showed higher-risk disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05431738Recruiting
Anti-migration stent for swallowing blockage from reflux cancer
This trial studies a special anti-migration stent placed in the esophagus to help keep a tumor-related blockage open and reduce reflux-related problems. It’s for adults whose swallowing is difficult because of a cancer narrowing at the esophagus-stomach junction.
ParisAges 18–91 - NCT05620628RecruitingPhase 2
Test savolitinib plus durvalumab for MET-amplified stomach cancer
This trial studies whether blocking MET (a cancer growth signal) with savolitinib, combined with durvalumab (an immune treatment), can shrink advanced gastric (stomach) cancer that has worsened after chemotherapy. It may help people whose tumors have MET amplification and measurable disease that can be tracked on scans.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06632262RecruitingPhase 2
Testing new drugs for cancers with FGFR gene changes
This trial tests two new drugs, ABSK061 and ABSK043, in people whose cancers have specific changes in the FGFR2 or FGFR3 genes. It may be an option if your cancer has stopped responding to standard treatments or if no standard treatment is available.
Guiyang, GuizhouAges 18 years+ - NCT06759064RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Intraperitoneal Immunotherapy and Bone Drug for Stomach Cancer Belly Fluid
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—one that helps your immune system fight cancer (immune checkpoint inhibitor) and one that strengthens bones (zoledronic acid)—given directly into the belly (intraperitoneal) to control fluid buildup caused by stomach cancer. It may help people with moderate to severe malignant ascites who have not had local belly treatments or immunotherapy recently.
