This trial is for people who are already planned to have a specific stomach (gastric) procedure using an endoscope (a flexible camera). It mainly aims to study how this procedure is done and how patients do afterward.
StrasbourgAges 18–65 - NCT03825861RecruitingPhase 2
Before-surgery chemotherapy for locally advanced stomach cancer
This Phase 2 study tests chemotherapy given before surgery (called FOLFIRINOX) for people with locally advanced stomach cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes after the surgery plan is completed.
São PauloAges 18–75 - NCT03941561RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter versus longer chemotherapy for stage II stomach cancer
This trial compares two lengths of an oral chemotherapy medicine (9 months vs 1 year) after surgery for stage II stomach cancer. It aims to see which schedule works better and is easier to complete, while checking safety for people without major health problems.
AnqingAges 18–75 - NCT04047953Recruiting
Chemo for stomach cancer to make tumors easier to remove
This trial tests a combination chemotherapy plan—paclitaxel (albumin-bound), oxaliplatin, and S-1 given before surgery—to try to shrink stomach cancer and improve the chance of successful tumor removal. It is for people whose cancer is locally advanced or has spread, but might still be resectable (removable) in certain cases.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04097067Recruiting
Radiation therapy for slow-growing stomach lymphoma
This study tests whether a specific course of focused radiation (20 Gy) can control indolent (slow-growing) lymphoma in the stomach or upper small intestine. It may help shrink or stabilize tumors and lymph node involvement while limiting side effects.
Münster, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT04278222RecruitingPhase 2
Anlotinib plus immunotherapy for advanced stomach cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining two medicines—anlotinib and toripalimab—can work well as first treatment for advanced (stage IV) stomach cancer. It’s meant for people who have an adequate overall health status and certain blood/organ function levels.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT04379596RecruitingPhase 2
Testing T-DXd combinations for HER2 stomach or esophagus cancer
This Phase 2 study tests how safe and effective T-DXd (an anti-cancer medicine) is in combination for people with advanced stomach/GEJ/esophagus cancer that is HER2-positive or HER2-low. It may help people whose cancer has spread or cannot be removed, depending on their prior treatments and test results.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18–130 - NCT04447352RecruitingPhase 3
HIPEC plus FLOT versus FLOT alone for gastric or GE junction cancer
This trial compares two treatment approaches after your stomach/GE junction cancer has been treated with chemotherapy before surgery: adding a special heated bath into the abdomen (HIPEC) plus continuing the usual surgery plan. It aims to see if adding HIPEC lowers cancer coming back and improves outcomes.
AachenAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT04547725Recruiting
Surgery plus chemotherapy for stomach cancer in the belly lining
This study tests whether a thorough surgery to remove stomach cancer in the abdomen, followed by chemotherapy given through the belly and by vein, can improve outcomes. It’s for people newly diagnosed with stomach cancer that has limited spread to the belly lining.
TaipeiAges 20–75 - NCT04557969Recruiting
Surgery and tumor testing in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST)
This study looks at how surgery for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) works, and collects tumor samples to study them under the microscope and by DNA testing. Your results may help researchers better predict tumor behavior and guide future treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 years+ - NCT04592211RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study pembrolizumab plus olaparib for stomach cancer after treatment
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether combining pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) with olaparib (a targeted cancer pill) can shrink or control recurrent or advanced stomach and GEJ cancer. You may be eligible if your cancer has already been treated with trastuzumab and certain body-function and blood/vital checks look safe.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT04595929Recruiting
Tested aerosol chemotherapy inside the abdomen for stomach cancer
This trial looks at a way to give chemotherapy into the abdomen (through a small tube during laparoscopy) for certain stomach cancers. It aims to see whether this approach improves cancer control and surgical outcomes for people whose tumors can potentially be removed.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–65 - NCT04597294RecruitingPhase 3
Preventive pre-op HIPEC for advanced stomach cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies whether adding a heated chemotherapy procedure during surgery (HIPEC) before the main cancer treatment can lower the chance that stomach cancer returns in the belly. It is for people with advanced stomach cancer who are at higher risk of cancer coming back in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdomen).
Krakow, Lesser Poland VoivodshipAges 18–75 - NCT04613570Recruiting
Follow-up endoscopy plan for early stomach changes
This study looks at how often and how intensely to do follow-up stomach camera exams (endoscopy) with small biopsies for people at risk of stomach cancer. It may help personalize your follow-up schedule based on your specific stomach findings.
PortoAges 45 years+ - NCT04740346Recruiting
Study survival and quality of life by follow-up time after stomach surgery
This study looks at how long people with stage II or III stomach (gastric) cancer tend to live and how their day-to-day well-being changes over different follow-up times after surgery. It may help doctors understand the best follow-up schedule to support recovery.
