Breath and blood tests to study stomach and food-pipe cancer
This study looks at how certain “volatile” substances in breath change in people with stomach or food-pipe (oesophageal) cancer, compared with people who have other non-cancer stomach/food-pipe conditions. It may help researchers find better, earlier ways to assess cancer—especially in people who have not started treatment yet.
LondonAges 18–90 - NCT05677490RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy for advanced stomach or esophagus cancer
This trial compares two chemotherapy combinations, with or without an immunotherapy drug called nivolumab, for people with advanced stomach, esophagus, or gastroesophageal junction cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see which treatment works better and if adding immunotherapy helps.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04688801Recruiting
Chemo plus immunotherapy after surgery for esophageal cancer
This study looks at adding immunotherapy to standard chemotherapy after surgery for certain esophageal or EG-junction cancers. It may help lower the chance the cancer comes back, for people whose cancer can be fully removed.
Jinan, ShandongAges 25–80 - NCT06782412RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New imaging test for different cancers using FAPI-PET
This trial is testing a new imaging method called FAPI-PET to see if it can help find and understand tumors better than standard scans. It is for people with newly diagnosed stomach/esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, or those with unclear symptoms or scan results.
EdegemAges 18 years+ - NCT07069842Recruiting
Gastric cancer immunotherapy prediction model
This study looks at markers in your tumor to predict how well immunotherapy might work for you. It aims to create a model that helps doctors choose the best treatment for advanced gastric cancer.
Changzhi, ShanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06675136RecruitingPhase 1
Nab-paclitaxel PIPAC with paclitaxel and ramucirumab for stomach cancer spread to belly lining
This trial tests a new way to deliver chemotherapy directly into the belly for stomach cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneal metastases). It also combines two standard chemotherapy drugs. The goal is to see if this approach can help people whose cancer progressed after first treatment.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06123494RecruitingPhase 3
A trial of SHR-A1811 for HER2-positive gastric cancer
This trial tests a new drug, SHR-A1811, for people with HER2-positive stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has worsened after initial treatment. It aims to see if this drug can help when standard anti-HER2 therapy stops working.
