Recruiting studies
- NCT06785922Enrolling by invitation
Stomach bacteria differences in H. pylori patients
This trial compares the types of bacteria in the stomach of people infected with different strains of H. pylori (CagA positive vs. negative). It may help researchers understand how these bacteria affect health.
Bangkok Noi, BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT06732856RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Zolbetuximab plus chemo before stomach cancer surgery
This trial tests a new drug called zolbetuximab combined with chemotherapy (docetaxel, oxaliplatin, S-1) before surgery for people with locally advanced stomach cancer that has a specific protein (CLDN18.2). The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors enough to improve surgery outcomes.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06490159Recruiting
Predicting nerve damage from paclitaxel for stomach cancer
This study looks at whether a common chemotherapy drug called paclitaxel (Taxol) causes nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) in people with advanced stomach cancer. The goal is to find out who is most likely to get this side effect, so doctors can better protect patients during treatment.
Kurashiki, Okayama-kenAges 20 years+ - NCT06487221RecruitingPhase 2
Avutometinib and Defactinib for diffuse stomach cancer
This trial tests two oral drugs, avutometinib and defactinib, for people with a specific type of stomach cancer called diffuse gastric cancer. The goal is to see if these drugs can help shrink or slow the cancer.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06447064Recruiting
Cancer loyalty card study for early detection
This study looks at whether shopping loyalty card data can help detect cancer earlier. If you have a Tesco Clubcard or Boots Advantage Card, you may be able to join by sharing your purchase history to help researchers find patterns linked to cancer.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06370143Recruiting
Health information study to understand and prevent stomach cancer
This study collects health information from people at different stages of stomach cancer risk, including those with precancerous changes, healthy individuals, and those with early stomach cancer. The goal is to better understand and prevent stomach cancer.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05812287Recruiting
Testing differences between two types of stomach cancer using lab data
This study compares two kinds of stomach cancer (near the upper stomach/“cardia” vs non-cardia) using special lab and genetic tests (“multiomics”). It may help doctors understand differences between these cancers and improve how they are diagnosed and treated.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT05698992Recruiting
Rehab program after surgery for esophageal or stomach cancer
This trial tests a rehabilitation and recovery program for people with esophageal or stomach cancer who are planning curative surgery at Skåne University Hospital. It may help you regain strength and function after treatment, using a structured recovery approach.
Lund, LundAges 18 years+ - NCT05620628RecruitingPhase 2
Test savolitinib plus durvalumab for MET-amplified stomach cancer
This trial studies whether blocking MET (a cancer growth signal) with savolitinib, combined with durvalumab (an immune treatment), can shrink advanced gastric (stomach) cancer that has worsened after chemotherapy. It may help people whose tumors have MET amplification and measurable disease that can be tracked on scans.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - 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 - NCT01048281Recruiting
Study of stomach and esophagus cancer samples
This study looks at stomach (gastric) and esophagus cancer, using clinical information and tissue samples. It may help researchers better understand these cancers and improve future care.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05366881Recruiting
Blood test study to spot early cancer signal and cancer leftovers
This observational study checks whether a blood test (a “cfDNA” test) can detect early signs of cancer or small amounts of cancer left after treatment. It may help doctors use a simple blood sample to improve cancer detection and follow-up.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT05365581RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for stomach and pancreatic cancers with lab-checked targets
This Phase 1 trial tests ASP2138 alone or with other cancer medicines in adults with stomach (including GEJ) or pancreatic cancer. You may be eligible if your tumor has a specific protein marker and your health tests and scan results meet safety requirements.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT04907643Recruiting
Virtual reality program to reduce stomach-cancer pain
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) can improve pain and other day-to-day symptoms in people with certain gastrointestinal cancers. You’d use VR for pain relief while researchers measure how you’re feeling.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT03551951Recruiting
Testing cancer cells and DNA in blood, urine, and bone marrow
This study looks for cancer-related cells and DNA in samples like blood, urine, and (for some) bone marrow. The goal is to see whether these tests can help detect or track solid cancers with minimal added procedures.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT02838836Recruiting
Checking for cancer DNA and tumor cells in bodily samples
This study looks for cancer-related material in blood, urine, and sometimes bone marrow. It may help researchers understand how to detect cancer activity and track it over time using less invasive tests.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06748352Recruiting
Robot-assisted scope removal for early stomach cancer
This study tests a new robot-assisted tool to remove early-stage stomach cancer or precancerous cells through a scope (endoscope) without open surgery. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at removing the abnormal tissue completely.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07356466Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Combination therapy vs. standard chemo for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests whether adding two newer drugs (pucotenlimab and lenvatinib) to standard chemotherapy (SOX) works better than chemotherapy alone for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that is HER2-negative. The goal is to see if the combination slows cancer growth.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT06639490Recruiting
Robot-assisted stomach surgery navigation study
This trial tests a special navigation system to help surgeons perform robot-assisted stomach cancer surgery. It aims to make the surgery more precise and safe.
SeoulAges 20–90 - NCT06759064RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

This trial tests a combination of two drugs—one that helps your immune system fight cancer (immune checkpoint inhibitor) and one that strengthens bones (zoledronic acid)—given directly into the belly (intraperitoneal) to control fluid buildup caused by stomach cancer. It may help people with moderate to severe malignant ascites who have not had local belly treatments or immunotherapy recently.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT04674267Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for gastric (stomach) cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 176 recruiting gastric (stomach) cancer studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a gastric (stomach) cancer trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a gastric (stomach) cancer trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
