The goal is to see which treatment works better and if adding immunotherapy helps.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05651594RecruitingPhase 2
Propranolol with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding propranolol (a common blood-pressure/heart medicine) can improve outcomes when used with pembrolizumab plus standard chemotherapy. It is for people with advanced esophageal or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma that cannot be removed with surgery.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05269381RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized cancer vaccine with pembrolizumab for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a personalized vaccine made from your tumor's unique markers, combined with the drug pembrolizumab, to help your immune system fight cancer. It is for people with advanced solid tumors who have already tried standard treatments.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 16 years+ - NCT04660760RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two treatments for advanced stomach cancer after first treatment
This study tests two different treatment options for advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has grown after earlier chemotherapy. One option combines a targeted therapy (ramucirumab) with a chemotherapy pill (trifluridine/tipiracil), and the other is a standard chemotherapy drug (paclitaxel). The goal is to see which approach works better for people whose cancer has progressed, with the hope of improving outcomes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04221893Recruiting

- How do I know if I qualify for a gastroesophageal junction 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 gastroesophageal junction 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.
