This trial tests KN026 together with chemotherapy in people with HER2-positive advanced stomach (or gastro-esophageal junction) cancer that has already grown despite first-line treatment with trastuzumab plus chemotherapy. It may help by targeting HER2 while also using chemotherapy to control the cancer.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05427487RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a medicine injected into tumors for advanced cancers
This Phase 1 study tests IVX037, a medicine given directly into a solid tumor, to see if it is safe and may shrink tumors. It is for people with certain advanced colorectal, stomach/gastroesophageal, or ovarian cancers that have limited treatment options.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18–85 - NCT05431738Recruiting
Anti-migration stent for swallowing blockage from reflux cancer
This trial studies a special anti-migration stent placed in the esophagus to help keep a tumor-related blockage open and reduce reflux-related problems. It’s for adults whose swallowing is difficult because of a cancer narrowing at the esophagus-stomach junction.
ParisAges 18–91 - NCT05438459RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Pembrolizumab-based treatment given through an abdominal port
This early-phase study tests an antibody-based treatment given directly into the abdomen (through a port) for advanced stomach or pancreatic cancer that has spread in the lining of the belly or is causing abdominal fluid buildup. It’s designed for patients whose cancer has not responded to earlier chemotherapy, with the goal of improving cancer control and shrinking belly fluid.
Fukuoka, FukuokaAges 20 years+ - NCT05450835Recruiting
Surgery technique comparison for stomach cancer near the esophagus
This study compares two ways surgeons reconnect the digestive tract after removing the whole stomach for certain stomach cancers near the esophagus. It aims to see which technique is safer and leads to better recovery and outcomes.
Quanzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05455359RecruitingPhase 4
Tube-fed children at high risk for aspiration pneumonia
This Phase 4 study looks at gastrointestinal movement (dysmotility) and how it may increase the risk of aspiration pneumonia in children who eat through a tube and have swallowing safety problems. It may help doctors better prevent lung infections in children who cough/choke and need suction often.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 5–21 - NCT05482516RecruitingPhase 3
Testing blood test–guided treatment for GI cancers in remission
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving treatment based on a positive blood test for “minimal cancer signals” (ctDNA) can help people with certain GI cancers stay cancer-free longer. It focuses on people who have finished curative-intent therapy and currently have no visible disease on scans, but their blood test is still positive.
