Recruiting studies
- NCT05187182RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new cancer drug with FOLFOX and immune therapy
This Phase 1 study tests CA-4948 given with standard chemotherapy (FOLFOX) and an immune therapy (an immune checkpoint inhibitor, similar to PD-1). It’s for people with advanced stomach or esophageal cancer that can’t be removed by surgery, to see how well the treatment works and whether it’s safe.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05370144Recruiting
Pre-surgery chemotherapy and radiation for esophagus cancer
This study tests a new pre-surgery treatment plan that combines chemotherapy with focused, shorter-course radiation for esophagus or stomach-where-it-meets-the-esophagus (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. The goal is to shrink the tumor before surgery and improve treatment outcomes.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–80 - NCT05439993RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tepotinib plus paclitaxel for MET-altered stomach cancer
This trial tests whether tepotinib combined with paclitaxel can treat stomach or gastroesophageal (GEJ) cancer that has spread and has specific MET gene changes. It may help by blocking the MET pathway that can drive tumor growth after standard chemotherapy.
Gyeonggi-doAges Any age - NCT05563766RecruitingPhase 2
Itraconazole added for treatable esophageal cancer before surgery
This study tests whether adding itraconazole (an anti-fungal medicine) to standard chemo-radiation before surgery increases the chance of complete tumor response. It’s for people with esophageal (or GE junction) cancer that can be removed with curative surgery after treatment.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05687357RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab plus chemoradiation before surgery for stomach cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies giving tislelizumab (an immune therapy) together with pre-surgery chemoradiation for locally advanced stomach or GEJ (esophagus-stomach junction) adenocarcinoma. It compares this approach to the standard treatment (chemoradiation plus surgery) to see if it improves outcomes.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05702229RecruitingPhase 2
Study of combined medicines for advanced stomach cancer with Claudin18.2
This Phase 2 study tests new combination treatments for advanced stomach or stomach-esophagus junction cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It may help people whose tumors are positive for a marker called Claudin18.2, which the study uses to choose who can receive the treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06038578RecruitingPhase 2
TRK-950 with standard chemo for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a new drug, TRK-950, added to standard chemotherapy (ramucirumab and paclitaxel) for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has worsened after previous treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow disease progression.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06265285RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab at home vs. clinic for cancer treatment
This study compares giving the immunotherapy drug nivolumab as a shot under the skin at home versus in the clinic. It is for people with certain cancers who are already taking or starting nivolumab.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06266299RecruitingPhase 1
Study of KK2269 for adults with solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called KK2269 for adults with solid tumors that have spread or cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective, possibly as a treatment option for certain cancers like lung or stomach cancer.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06277024Recruiting
Combination therapy for advanced HER2-negative stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (candenizumab), a targeted therapy (lenvatinib), and chemotherapy (SOX regimen) for advanced HER2-negative stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has not been treated before. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and works better than standard treatments.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT06560528RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combo before & after surgery for HER2+ stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy) before and after surgery for locally advanced HER2-positive stomach cancer. It aims to see if this treatment can improve outcomes for patients whose cancer has not yet spread.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07689851RecruitingPhase 2
Chemoradiotherapy plus an immunotherapy for advanced gastric cancer
This trial studies a new immunotherapy drug (SHR-1701) combined with standard chemoradiotherapy for people with advanced stomach or esophagus cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if adding this immune treatment helps control the tumor better than standard treatments alone.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06605404Recruiting
Pan-tumor study of a blood test after cancer surgery
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for leftover cancer cells after surgery. It is for people with different types of solid tumors who are planning to have surgery to cure their cancer. The goal is to see if the test can help guide future treatment decisions.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06649474Recruiting
Oxaliplatin side effects linked to HMGB1 blood levels
This study checks if a substance called HMGB1 in your blood is linked to nerve damage and liver side effects from the chemotherapy drug oxaliplatin. It is for people with a specific type of stomach or pancreas cancer that can be surgically removed.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT06662110Recruiting
Blood test to predict chemo and immunotherapy response in stomach cancer
This trial tests whether a blood test (called immune proteomics) can predict how well chemotherapy and immunotherapy work in people with stomach cancer. If you qualify, you would receive standard chemo or chemo plus immunotherapy before surgery, and researchers will study your blood to see if it can guide future treatment.
Xuhui District, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04389632RecruitingPhase 1
