Recruiting studies in Minnesota
- NCT07001748RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing abdominal chemo plus standard chemo for stomach cancer spread
This trial tests adding the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal) along with standard IV chemotherapy for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. The goal is to see if this combination helps control the cancer better than standard treatment alone.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06078709RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery radiation and chemo for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation combined with chemotherapy (FOLFOX) before surgery for esophageal or stomach-junction cancer. It aims to reduce side effects and still improve outcomes.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06203600RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Nivolumab plus standard treatment for advanced stomach or esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug nivolumab to standard treatment works better for advanced stomach or esophageal cancer. It is for people whose cancer has already progressed after a first round of chemo plus immunotherapy.
Bemidji, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05753306RecruitingPhase 2
Robot surgery plus heated chemo for limited spread stomach cancer
This study tests a “robot-assisted” surgery to remove stomach cancer in the belly lining (peritoneum) along with heated chemotherapy placed inside the abdomen. It’s for people whose cancer has spread only in the peritoneum, aiming to control disease when there’s a good chance of removing it all.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT05677490RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo options, with or without nivolumab, for HER2-negative stomach cancer
This Phase 3 trial compares two standard chemotherapy regimens for advanced stomach, esophagus, or gastroesophageal junction cancer that is HER2-negative. It also tests whether adding nivolumab (an immune therapy) improves outcomes.
Aitkin, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07139951Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Heated Chemotherapy for Stomach Cancer at High Risk of Recurrence
This trial tests a special type of chemotherapy that is heated and delivered directly into the belly during surgery (called HIPEC). It uses two drugs, cisplatin and paclitaxel, and is for people with stomach cancer who are at high risk of the cancer returning in the lining of the belly.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT06901531RecruitingPhase 3
Study of zolbetuximab with pembrolizumab and chemo for gastric cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (zolbetuximab, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy) for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It may be an option if your tumor has certain proteins (CLDN18.2 and PD-L1) and you haven't had chemotherapy for advanced disease.
Saint Louis Park, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06131840RecruitingPhase 1
Study of SGN-CEACAM5C for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called SGN-CEACAM5C in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The drug targets a protein on cancer cells to try to stop them from growing.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04389632RecruitingPhase 1
Sigvotatug vedotin for advanced solid tumors that spread
This early-stage study tests a drug called sigvotatug vedotin in people with advanced solid cancers that cannot be removed or have spread. It aims to see how well the treatment works and what side effects it causes.
Saint Paul, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07221149RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Pumitamig vs Nivolumab for untreated stomach or esophagus cancer
This trial compares two treatments for people with advanced stomach, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal cancer that has not been treated before. One group gets pumitamig plus chemotherapy, the other gets nivolumab plus chemotherapy. The goal is to see which combination works better.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07431281RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for advanced stomach cancer with CLDN18.2
This trial tests a new drug combination for people with advanced stomach cancer that has not been treated before. It looks at two groups: one with PD-L1 (a protein that helps decide if immunotherapy works), and one without. The treatment includes an antibody-drug conjugate (Sonesitatug Vedotin) plus standard chemotherapy, with or without an immunotherapy drug.
Burnsville, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05059444Recruiting
Blood test study to watch for cancer coming back
This study looks at whether blood tests can detect signs that cancer may return after curative-intent treatment. You would have blood drawn around your usual follow-up visits for up to 5 years, and your de-identified health data would be shared with study investigators.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06731478RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for first treatment of HER2-positive stomach cancer
This trial tests a new targeted drug (TDXd) combined with chemotherapy, pembrolizumab, and trastuzumab for people with HER2-positive stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see if this combination works better than standard treatments as a first therapy.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06764875RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for HER2-positive stomach cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy called rilvegostomig combined with standard chemotherapy and a targeted therapy (trastuzumab deruxtecan) for people with advanced HER2-positive stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has not been treated before.
Burnsville, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Aitkin, MinnesotaAges 40–75 - NCT05205343Recruiting
Compare minimally invasive and full stomach surgery for upper cancer
This study compares two minimally invasive ways to operate on the stomach area for cancers near the stomach and esophagus (GEJ). It looks at whether one surgical approach is better for long-term outcomes when the goal is cure.

What taking part in a gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

- Do I have to live in Minnesota to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Minnesota, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
