Immunotherapy plus chemo for PD-L1-positive stomach cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug sintilimab to standard chemotherapy (SOX) after surgery helps prevent stomach cancer from returning. It’s for people whose tumors have a protein called PD-L1 and who had cancer in at least 7 lymph nodes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07464756RecruitingPhase 2
Study of SHR-1701 and apatinib with chemo before stomach cancer surgery
This trial tests whether adding SHR-1701 (an immunotherapy) with or without apatinib (a targeted therapy) to standard chemotherapy before surgery can help treat gastric cancer. It is for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes but is still removable.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07178808RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery and heated chemotherapy for stomach cancer
This trial tests if surgery to remove visible cancer in the belly combined with heated chemotherapy placed directly into the abdomen can help people with stomach cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly. It is for patients who are well enough to undergo major surgery and meet specific health requirements.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06798376Recruiting
Immunotherapy plus chemo before stomach cancer surgery
This trial tests combining immunotherapy (PD-1 blockers) with chemotherapy before surgery for advanced stomach cancer. The goal is to find the best number of treatment cycles to shrink the tumor and improve surgery results.
BeijingAges 18–90 - NCT07029269RecruitingPhase 3
Recovery without drainage tubes after stomach cancer surgery
This trial tests whether it is safe and helpful to skip placing drainage tubes in the abdomen after keyhole surgery to remove part of the stomach for gastric cancer. It aims to speed up recovery and reduce discomfort.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07673887RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug combo for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a new drug called ASP2138 combined with chemotherapy and pembrolizumab for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It may help if your tumor has certain markers (CLDN18.2 and PD-L1) and you haven't had prior chemotherapy for advanced disease.
DoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT04214119Recruiting
Capsule test during endoscopy to find early esophageal cancer
This trial studies an “EsophaCap” capsule that can be swallowed during an endoscopy to help detect early esophageal cancer. It may help find cancer earlier and guide next steps, if your results are concerning.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04443478Recruiting
Keyhole versus open lymph node surgery for junction cancer
This trial compares two ways of removing lymph nodes during surgery: keyhole (laparoscopic) versus open surgery. It is for people with esophagus-stomach junction adenocarcinoma, aiming to see which approach works better and is safer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT04734821Recruiting
Fluorescent imaging during stomach or esophagus surgery
This study tests whether a special fluorescent camera during surgery can help surgeons better operate on resectable (removable) stomach or esophagus cancer. It may help improve how surgery is guided, with the goal of safer and more accurate tumor removal.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT04850729Recruiting
Study links surgery medicines to the stomach tumor environment
This trial looks at how medicines given around the time of stomach cancer surgery may change the “tumor microenvironment,” which is the biology around the tumor. It may help doctors better understand which perioperative treatments work best for locally advanced, operable stomach cancer.
