Recruiting studies
- NCT05427383RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
KN026 plus chemo for HER2-positive stomach cancer after first treatment failure
This trial tests KN026 together with chemotherapy in people with HER2-positive advanced stomach (or gastro-esophageal junction) cancer that has already grown despite first-line treatment with trastuzumab plus chemotherapy. It may help by targeting HER2 while also using chemotherapy to control the cancer.

Treating resistant lung cancer with chemo plus or minus an added drug
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding an extra targeted medicine (anlotinib) to standard chemotherapy (pemetrexed and carboplatin) can better control osimertinib-resistant lung cancer with an EGFR mutation. It’s for people whose lung cancer has already progressed after osimertinib, and it aims to shrink tumors and slow the disease.
Shenzhen, shenzhenAges 18–75 - NCT05450835Recruiting

This study compares two ways surgeons reconnect the digestive tract after removing the whole stomach for certain stomach cancers near the esophagus. It aims to see which technique is safer and leads to better recovery and outcomes.
Quanzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT06157996RecruitingPhase 2
Lenvatinib, Tislelizumab, and CapeOX for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (lenvatinib, tislelizumab, and CapeOX chemotherapy) as the first treatment for advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that is PD-L1 positive and has a low TMEscore. The goal is to see if this combination helps control the cancer better than standard treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06425926RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of GIM-531 in advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new oral drug, GIM-531, alone and in combination with an anti-PD-1 therapy for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06461910RecruitingPhase 2
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 - NCT06521541Recruiting
Prehabilitation program for stomach cancer surgery patients
This study tests a program of nutrition, exercise, and emotional support before and during chemotherapy and stomach cancer surgery. It aims to help patients recover faster and have fewer complications.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06690112Recruiting
Early drain removal after stomach cancer surgery
This pilot study tests whether it is safe to remove the surgical drain early in patients with a specific amount of output after stomach cancer surgery. It may help reduce discomfort and hospital stay for patients whose drain output is moderate.
SeoulAges 18–79 - NCT06841484Recruiting
Robotic tools vs. human-assisted tools in stomach cancer surgery
This study tests two ways of using robotic tools during stomach cancer surgery: one where the surgeon controls all instruments from a console, and another where a human assistant operates some tools. It aims to see which method works better for patients having the lower part of the stomach removed.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT06925243RecruitingPhase 3
Apatinib, Sintilimab, and Chemo for Intestinal Gastric Cancer
This phase 3 trial tests adding the targeted drug apatinib to a standard combination of sintilimab (immunotherapy) and chemotherapy (SOX regimen) given before surgery for a specific type of stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer (intestinal type, HER2-negative). The goal is to see if the three-drug combination works better than the two-drug combination in shrinking the tumor and improving outcomes before surgery.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18–75 - NCT06949033RecruitingPhase 3
Cadonilimab with chemo for stomach cancer
This trial tests a new combination of immunotherapy (cadonilimab) and chemotherapy before and after surgery for a specific type of advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It aims to see if adding this immunotherapy helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.

Immunotherapy and chemoradiation before surgery for stomach cancer
This study tests combining an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) and a medication to boost your immune system (thymalfasin) with standard chemotherapy and radiation before surgery for stage III cancer where the stomach meets the esophagus. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
