Recruiting studies
- NCT05714124Recruiting
Testing liver procedures to treat tumors when surgery isn’t possible
This trial studies different ways to place treatments inside the liver to control liver tumors when they can’t be removed with surgery or ablation. It may help certain people by improving how well the tumor is treated while keeping liver function safer.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05739045RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab plus SOX before and around stomach cancer surgery
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding nivolumab to standard chemotherapy (SOX) given before and around surgery can improve outcomes for people with certain stomach or stomach–esophagus junction cancers. It aims to shrink or control the cancer and make surgery more effective.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05752071Recruiting
Stomach stimulation to help bowel recovery after major surgery
This trial tests a stomach (gastrointestinal) stimulation approach to help your bowels start working again after extensive surgery, which may cause a temporary problem called postoperative ileus. If it helps, it could mean faster recovery and less time with bowel-related complications.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT05768932RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for advanced cancers or relapsed AML
This Phase 1 trial tests BAL0891, a new study treatment, in people with advanced solid tumors that have run out of treatment options, or in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to find a safe dose and see how well it may work in these hard-to-treat cancers.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05847478Recruiting
Acupressure vs eating plan breaks for specific stomach syndrome
This study compares ear (auricular) acupressure to an intermittent dietary restriction approach in children who have a particular “stomach heat and dampness” pattern from Traditional Chinese Medicine. The goal is to see which method better helps children with certain weight and blood-sugar or cholesterol risks.
ShanghaiAges 6–18 - NCT05850130Recruiting
Acupuncture to treat nerve pain from oxaliplatin chemotherapy
This study tests whether acupuncture can reduce nerve pain caused by oxaliplatin chemotherapy in people with gastrointestinal cancers. It may help lessen symptoms like tingling, numbness, or burning that affect hands or feet.
CréteilAges 18 years+ - NCT05859022Recruiting
Bariatric treatment methods compared for diabetes and metabolism
This trial compares a less invasive heart/artery-based bariatric treatment (bariatric arterial embolization) with standard weight-loss surgery to see how they affect metabolism and type 2 diabetes. You might be considered if you have obesity with type 2 diabetes and have not had prior bariatric surgery.
LisbonAges 18–75 - NCT05871099RecruitingPhase 3
Laparoscopic stomach surgery with added heated fluid chemotherapy
This trial compares standard laparoscopic surgery for stomach cancer versus the same surgery plus HIPEC, which is heated chemotherapy placed in the abdomen during the operation. It aims to see if adding the heated chemotherapy improves outcomes for people with higher-stage stomach cancer.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT05872295RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for HER2-positive advanced cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests IKS014 to see how safe it is and how well it works in advanced solid tumors that have HER2. You may be eligible if your tumor is HER2-positive (including certain “low HER2” types) and your body’s blood counts and organ function are strong enough.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05878964Recruiting
Study of skin health and quality of life during cancer treatment
This trial looks at how cancer treatments (anti–PD-1/PD-L1/CTLA-4 medicines or CDK inhibitors) affect your skin and overall quality of life. You may fill out questionnaires during the study to help researchers understand changes over time.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT05880199Recruiting
Test Meal and Monitoring in Teens With GI Symptoms
This study studies how a standardized meal affects digestion using special monitoring in children and young adults with stomach or gut symptom problems (and compares them to healthy controls). It may help doctors understand what causes gut symptoms and guide better treatments.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 8–25 - NCT05892289Recruiting
Robotic stomach surgery study for early cancer near the top
This study checks whether a specific robotic operation (proximal gastrectomy using a double-flap technique) is safe and feasible for early stomach cancer located near the top of the stomach. It may help patients by testing a surgical approach designed to remove the cancer while managing reconstruction and recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 20–80 - NCT05918094RecruitingPhase 3
Testing new chemo plan plus immunotherapy for stomach cancer
This phase 3 study compares two versions of a first-time treatment for HER2-negative advanced stomach or gastroesophageal cancer, both including immunotherapy (sintilimab). It looks for a safer or more effective way to slow cancer growth or improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05938309Recruiting
Safety study of laparoscopic surgery for large stomach GISTs
This study looks at how safe laparoscopic surgery is for stomach GISTs that are 5 cm or larger. If you’re eligible and choose to participate, your team will plan and perform surgery and track safety outcomes.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05969860RecruitingPhase 2
Home cancer treatment vs clinic treatment for advanced cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares giving certain standard cancer infusions at home versus in a clinic. It may help people avoid clinic visits while still receiving the same cancer treatment safely.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06005493RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AZD5863 for advanced stomach, esophagus, or pancreatic cancer
This trial is testing an investigational drug called AZD5863 for people whose stomach, esophagus, or pancreatic cancer has spread and hasn't responded to at least one previous treatment. The study aims to see if targeting a protein called Claudin 18.2 on tumor cells can help shrink or slow the cancer.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06006390RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for gastric?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 861 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.
