Taipei, TaiwanAges 20–60 - NCT03972956Recruiting
Collecting samples during cancer or surgery visits
This trial looks at collecting (taking) medical samples from people who need surgery for colorectal cancer, stomach (gastric) cancer, or a non-cancer condition. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve how treatment is planned.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT04107077RecruitingPhase 2
HIPEC surgery plus chemotherapy for advanced stomach cancer
This study tests whether a specialized surgery called HIPEC (heat-treated chemotherapy placed in the belly) can improve outcomes for people with advanced stomach cancer that has reached the lining of the abdomen. It’s given after you’ve already had standard chemotherapy, aiming to better control disease in the belly.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04214990RecruitingPhase 3
Aspirin after early stomach precancer or early cancer removal
This trial tests whether taking aspirin after endoscopic removal of an early stomach condition can lower the chance of the cancer coming back or progressing. You may be considered if your early stomach findings were fully removed and you’re able to avoid certain medications that raise bleeding risk.
BusanAges 19–70 - NCT04329494RecruitingPhase 1
Study of targeted drug delivery into the abdomen using PIPAC
This Phase 1 trial tests PIPAC, a way to deliver anti-cancer medicine directly into the abdomen using a minimally invasive procedure. It is for people with peritoneal spread from certain cancers to see whether this approach is safe and potentially helpful.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04483076RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo before stomach surgery with different cycles
This trial studies whether giving oxaliplatin plus S-1 (SOX) chemotherapy before stomach surgery works best when given for different cycle lengths. It may help shrink stage III gastric cancer before a standard D2 gastrectomy and improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT04498767Recruiting
Radiation to treat a few metastatic spots in rare cancers
This trial studies whether stereotactic (high-precision) radiation given in a few sessions can control rare cancers that have spread to a small number of sites. It aims to help by treating all known spots while keeping side effects manageable.
AnderlechtAges 18 years+ - NCT04665687Recruiting
Genetic testing study for early stomach cancer and stomach polyps
This study uses genetic sequencing to learn more about early stomach cancer and precancerous stomach polyps. It may help improve how these conditions are understood and potentially guide future care, using genetic information from stored tissue samples.
SeoulAges 19–100 - NCT04842916Recruiting
Study blood, tumor tissue, and preferences to predict stomach cancer response
This study looks at stomach (or stomach–esophagus junction) cancer tissue, treatment details, and patient-reported experiences to better predict how you may respond to standard chemotherapy. It may help personalize future treatment by identifying markers that connect your tumor environment and your expected outcomes.
BrestAges 18–85 - NCT04843215Recruiting
Surgery comparison for advanced stomach cancer after initial surgery
This trial studies whether removing all of the fatty lining (omentum) or only part of it during surgery leads to better outcomes in people with advanced stomach cancer. It also checks that participants can safely have the same stomach-cancer chemotherapy plan after surgery.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT04943484Recruiting
ICG camera dye test during surgery for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests whether an “ICG” dye and special camera can help surgeons see cancer more clearly during surgery for advanced stomach cancer. It may help improve how safely and accurately surgeons remove the tumor and nearby lymph nodes.
Milan, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05140746Recruiting
Predicting how well chemotherapy works before stomach surgery
This study looks for ways to predict whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy (chemo given before surgery) will work well in people with locally advanced stomach cancer. It may help doctors choose the best treatment plan sooner based on your test results.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05187182RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new cancer drug with FOLFOX and immune therapy
This Phase 1 study tests CA-4948 given with standard chemotherapy (FOLFOX) and an immune therapy (an immune checkpoint inhibitor, similar to PD-1). It’s for people with advanced stomach or esophageal cancer that can’t be removed by surgery, to see how well the treatment works and whether it’s safe.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05187338RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drugs that target immune checkpoints for solid tumors
This early-phase study tests a combination of three immune “checkpoint” medicines in people with advanced solid cancers. It aims to see how well they work and what side effects occur, including when given through a specific liver-focused treatment in eligible patients.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05344339Recruiting
Compare two stomach reconstruction methods after stomach cancer surgery
This study compares two surgical reconstruction techniques after a distal gastrectomy (removing the lower part of the stomach) for gastric (stomach) cancer. It may help find which method leads to better recovery and outcomes after surgery.
Ho Chi Minh CityAges 18–80 - NCT05349227Recruiting
After-cancer digital coaching and wearable tracking outcomes study
This study tests a digital health coaching program (using phone/tablet check-ins and wearable data) to understand health and quality-of-life outcomes after cancer treatment. It may help you learn healthy habits and track progress over time.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05483491RecruitingPhase 1
TCR cell therapy for select metastatic cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (TCR-T cells) for certain metastatic cancers. It targets cancers that carry a specific marker and requires patients to have a specific immune-system match, aiming to improve cancer control when standard options were already tried.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05494086Recruiting
Laparoscopic stomach surgery for early gastric cancer
This study looks at a surgical technique (“dual-port laparoscopic distal gastrectomy”) for people with stomach adenocarcinoma at an early, specific stage. The goal is to remove the tumor with clean margins (called an “R0” result) and see how this approach works safely.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05514769Recruiting
Surgery type comparison for early-to-mid stomach cancer
This trial compares two different stomach cancer surgeries after removing the tumor, to see which works better for patients with stomach adenocarcinoma. It may help determine the safest approach and best recovery outcomes for people whose cancer has not spread.
Nanchong, SichuanAges 18–85 - NCT05537129Recruiting
Laparoscopic vs open stomach surgery for stomach cancer
This trial compares two ways surgeons remove the entire stomach (total gastrectomy): laparoscopic (small keyhole cuts) versus open surgery (one larger cut). It’s testing which approach is safer and works better for people with certain stages of stomach cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–80 - NCT05551416Recruiting
Study to detect and prevent early stomach cancer
This study looks for early warning changes in the stomach and aims to improve early detection and prevention. Depending on your situation, you may be grouped as having stomach symptoms, early lesions that might be removed, already-diagnosed stomach cancer, or a comparison group without stomach problems.
Palma de Mallorca, Balearic IslandsAges 18 years+ - NCT05618821RecruitingPhase 2
Indocyanine green dye during stomach surgery for leftover cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether using a special light-activated dye (indocyanine green) during laparoscopic stomach surgery can improve surgical outcomes for people with remnant (leftover) stomach cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It may help surgeons better find lymph nodes while operating.
