CGT9486 plus sunitinib for advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors
This trial tests whether adding a new drug called CGT9486 to sunitinib (a standard cancer drug) works better than sunitinib alone for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) that have grown or spread. You may qualify if your GIST stopped responding to or caused problems with imatinib, an earlier treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07106424Recruiting

Study of JNJ-89402638 for metastatic colorectal and gastric cancers
This trial tests a new drug, JNJ-89402638, alone or with other treatments for people with metastatic colorectal or gastric cancer that has progressed after standard therapies. It aims to find safe and effective doses and combinations.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05804331Recruiting
Endoscopy treatment study for large upper stomach/throat lesions
This trial studies a specialized endoscopy procedure to remove larger abnormal growths in the upper digestive tract. It may help people whose lesion size and depth make certain removal techniques a better fit.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06200259Recruiting
Reducing Bowel Side Effects in Prostate Cancer Proton Therapy
This study tests a way to reduce stomach and bowel side effects of proton therapy for prostate cancer. It uses special software to place the proton beam more carefully, which may protect nearby organs.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07264998Recruiting
Gut bacteria study in breast cancer patients on Abemaciclib
This study looks at how gut bacteria changes in people taking Abemaciclib (a breast cancer drug) and whether that relates to diarrhea. It may help find ways to prevent or manage this side effect.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06523582Recruiting
Genetic study of neuroendocrine tumors in Mexican patients
This study aims to find genetic causes of neuroendocrine tumors in Mexican patients. By understanding your DNA, researchers hope to improve diagnosis and treatment for people with these rare conditions.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06855524RecruitingPhase 2
Seaweed supplement for less fatigue during chemotherapy
This study tests whether fucoidan, a supplement from brown seaweed, can help reduce fatigue caused by chemotherapy. Doctors at Mayo Clinic want to see if taking fucoidan during chemo helps you feel less tired.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06557733RecruitingPhase 2
Investigating TPST-1495 for Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
This trial tests a new drug, TPST-1495, to reduce the number of benign polyps in the small intestine for people with a condition called familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). If you join, you will likely not know if you receive the drug or a placebo, to see if the drug is helpful.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for gastrointestinal cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 162 recruiting gastrointestinal cancer 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 gastrointestinal cancer 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 gastrointestinal cancer 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.
