- 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.

Study of NKT3964 for advanced solid tumors
This trial is testing an experimental oral drug called NKT3964 for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug works by blocking a protein called CDK2, which some cancers need to grow.

Study of zolbetuximab with pembrolizumab and chemo for gastric cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (zolbetuximab, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy) for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It may be an option if your tumor has certain proteins (CLDN18.2 and PD-L1) and you haven't had chemotherapy for advanced disease.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06427941RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BGB-B2033 drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, BGB-B2033, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced liver, stomach, lung, or germ cell cancers that have not responded to standard therapy. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and works against these tumors.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07001748RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing abdominal chemo plus standard chemo for stomach cancer spread
This trial tests adding the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal) along with standard IV chemotherapy for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. The goal is to see if this combination helps control the cancer better than standard treatment alone.

Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06532006RecruitingPhase 3
HLX22 plus trastuzumab and chemo for HER2+ stomach cancer
This trial tests adding a new drug, HLX22, to the standard combination of trastuzumab and chemotherapy for people with HER2-positive stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that hasn't been treated yet. The goal is to see if this three-drug mix works better than the usual two-drug approach.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05702229RecruitingPhase 2
Study of combined medicines for advanced stomach cancer with Claudin18.2
This Phase 2 study tests new combination treatments for advanced stomach or stomach-esophagus junction cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It may help people whose tumors are positive for a marker called Claudin18.2, which the study uses to choose who can receive the treatment.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03539822RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cabozantinib and immunotherapy for advanced stomach or bowel cancers
This early-phase study tests a combination of anti-cancer pills and immune-based treatment for people with advanced stomach, esophagus, colorectal, or liver cancer. It aims to shrink tumors and see how safe the treatment is, including whether biopsy testing can help guide future care.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04114136RecruitingPhase 2
Study tests pembrolizumab or nivolumab plus a diabetes-like drug
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding a metabolic (diabetes-related) medicine to an immune therapy (pembrolizumab or nivolumab) can better control certain solid tumors. It may help people whose standard treatment would usually be pembrolizumab or nivolumab alone.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05482893RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Spevatamig for advanced stomach, pancreas, or bile duct cancer
This trial tests a new drug called Spevatamig (PT886), alone or with different chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy combinations, for people with certain advanced stomach, pancreatic, or bile duct cancers. The goal is to see if it shrinks tumors and is safe.

What taking part in a gastric cancer 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.
