Recruiting studies
- NCT04150640RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo drug combination for advanced stomach or esophagus cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of chemo drugs (oxaliplatin and liposomal irinotecan) plus trastuzumab works better for people with advanced stomach or esophagus adenocarcinoma that has specific tumor markers (HER2 and PDL1). It may help shrink tumors and improve control of the cancer in people who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.
Madison, WisconsinAges 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+ - NCT03793335Enrolling by invitation
Personalized prevention plan for stomach and colon cancer in the community
This trial tests personalized prevention strategies to help lower the risk of stomach (gastric) and colon (colorectal) cancer in community members. It may help by tailoring screening and prevention steps to your individual health and risk factors.
TaipeiAges 50–75 - NCT03741777Recruiting
Comparing stomach fluid left after different clear drinks in kids
This study looks at how much clear liquid is left in the stomach after children drink different measured amounts before an endoscopy. The goal is to help make anesthesia and endoscopy safer by better understanding stomach “residual volume.”
Boston, MassachusettsAges 13–17 - NCT03219593RecruitingPhase 2
Apatinib as first treatment for older adults with advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a pill called apatinib as a first treatment for older adults with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It might help if you cannot or do not want to have chemotherapy.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 65 years+ - NCT03123835Enrolling by invitation
Testing POEM and other procedures for reflux and swallowing problems
This trial studies how well POEM and other endoscopy-based (through-the mouth) treatments work for conditions like acid reflux, achalasia (trouble moving food), and Barrett’s esophagus. It may help doctors compare outcomes and choose the safest, most effective procedure for your situation.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT01717924Recruiting
Surgery vs first chemotherapy for stomach signet ring cancer
This trial compares doing surgery first versus starting chemotherapy first for people with resectable signet ring–type stomach cancer. It aims to find which approach works better to cure the cancer and prevent spread.
LilleAges 18–80 - NCT07807956RecruitingPhase 1
Intravenous study drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an investigational drug given through an IV to see if it can help people with advanced solid tumors. It aims to learn about side effects, how the drug works in the body, and whether it can slow or shrink the cancer.
Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07714980Recruiting
Acupoint stimulation timing for stomach cancer surgery recovery
This trial tests whether giving a gentle, needle-free acupoint stimulation before or after stomach cancer surgery helps speed up recovery. The stimulation uses a small device on the skin, similar to a tens unit, to support recovery after laparoscopic gastrectomy.
Dongying, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06113861Recruiting
Better TB testing for kids in Bolivia
This trial tests new ways to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) in children with breathing problems. It aims to make TB detection faster and more accurate for kids who might have the infection.
Santa CruzAges 2 months–14 years - NCT06239194RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MdX2001 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, MDX2001, for people with advanced solid tumors that have spread. The study aims to find the best dose and see how well it works.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07639853Enrolling by invitation
Doctor feedback survey on Concerto Versa coils
This study gathers feedback from doctors who use Concerto Versa detachable coils (small metal devices that help treat brain aneurysms). The survey helps improve how these coils work and are used.
Piscataway, New JerseyAges 22 years+ - NCT03467581Recruiting
Five-year follow-up after laparoscopic stomach sleeve surgery
This study looks at how people do over the next five years after getting laparoscopic (keyhole) gastric sleeve surgery for obesity. It may help doctors understand long-term outcomes and benefits for future patients.
TartuAges 18–65 - NCT04140578RecruitingPhase 4
Antibiotic prevention for certain liver disease patients
This trial tests whether taking preventive antibiotics can help people with certain liver conditions avoid infections after an endoscopy-related procedure. It may reduce infection risk, but it also requires that you have no signs of infection and haven’t recently taken antibiotics.
TaipeiAges 20–85 - NCT04766801Recruiting
Survey for teens seeking weight-loss surgery
This study is a health and survey project for teenagers who are considering bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. It aims to better understand the teen experience and support needs before surgery.
Angers, Maine Et LoireAges 14–20 - NCT03787056Recruiting
Blood test marker study in many cancer types
This study measures a blood marker called progastrin (at diagnosis and during treatment) to see how well it predicts response or outcomes. It may help doctors choose or monitor treatment more precisely for several cancer types.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT05347524Recruiting
Blood test study to detect stomach cancer spread in the belly
This study checks whether a blood liquid biopsy test can detect when stomach cancer has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneal metastasis). It compares people with confirmed belly spread to people whose belly lining tests were negative, using blood samples before/around treatment decisions.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–74 - NCT04945304Recruiting
9-Step magnetic revisional weight-loss surgery
This trial studies a specific 9-step approach using magnetic technology for people having revisional bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. It may help improve how safely and effectively surgery is done for people who qualify.
Maracaibo, ZuliaAges 18–65 - NCT05563012RecruitingPhase 2
Short radiation plus chemo and PD-1 immunotherapy for stomach cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving a short course of radiation before surgery, along with chemotherapy and a PD-1 immunotherapy drug, can improve treatment outcomes for locally advanced stomach cancer. It may help shrink the tumor before surgery and strengthen the immune system’s attack on cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT05620732Recruiting
CAR-T treatment for advanced stomach or pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a customized immune-cell treatment (CAR-T) for advanced stomach or pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to use cells engineered to target a specific tumor marker to shrink cancer or slow its growth.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05813015RecruitingPhase 3
Testing S-1 after stomach cancer surgery with or without sequence therapy
This Phase 3 study compares two ways of giving S-1 medicine after curative stomach cancer surgery in stage III disease. It aims to see whether the sequential approach improves outcomes while keeping treatment safe.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for gastric?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 850 recruiting gastric 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 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 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.
