Recruiting studies
- NCT07007988RecruitingPhase 1
SIM0388 for fluid buildup in the abdomen from cancer
This trial tests a new drug, SIM0388, for people whose cancer has spread and caused fluid buildup in the belly. It aims to see if the drug is safe and can help reduce the fluid.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06433869RecruitingPhase 2
Three-drug combination for malignant ascites from digestive cancers
This trial tests three drugs (bevacizumab, serplulimab, and rmhTNF-NC) given together to treat fluid buildup in the belly caused by digestive system cancers. It’s for people whose ascites has not improved after standard treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05745233Enrolling by invitation
Testing immune therapy put into the belly for cancer fluid
This trial studies whether an immune-blocking drug placed directly into the belly cavity can help people with cancer-caused fluid buildup (malignant ascites) from stomach, pancreas, or bile-duct cancers. It may help shrink the fluid and slow the illness, but you must meet specific safety and treatment-history requirements.
Taichung, Please SelectAges 20 years+ - NCT07378436RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a new drug for cancer-related belly fluid
This early-phase trial tests an experimental drug called GK02 for people with advanced cancer who have fluid buildup in the belly (malignant ascites). The drug is given directly into the belly to try to reduce the fluid and control symptoms.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06759064RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Intraperitoneal Immunotherapy and Bone Drug for Stomach Cancer Belly Fluid
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—one that helps your immune system fight cancer (immune checkpoint inhibitor) and one that strengthens bones (zoledronic acid)—given directly into the belly (intraperitoneal) to control fluid buildup caused by stomach cancer. It may help people with moderate to severe malignant ascites who have not had local belly treatments or immunotherapy recently.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT07397819RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Liposomal Irinotecan for Malignant Ascites
This trial tests a drug called liposomal irinotecan, given alone or with other medications, to treat fluid buildup in the belly caused by digestive system cancers. It's for people who have already tried standard treatments without success.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05726747Recruiting
Quality-of-life study for fluid buildup and muscle loss
This trial studies people with recurring fluid buildup in the belly (ascites) and looks at how treatments or supportive care affect quality of life and muscle strength. It may help researchers better understand which approaches improve day-to-day well-being when ascites keeps coming back.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07435701RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cell injection into belly for advanced ovarian cancer with fluid buildup
This trial tests a new type of therapy where special cells (called SK-NK cells) are injected directly into the belly to treat fluid buildup (ascites) caused by advanced ovarian cancer. It is for patients whose cancer has not responded to at least two prior treatments and who have no other standard options left.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05477927RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T therapy for cancers spread to lining of lungs, belly, or brain
This trial tests an experimental CAR-T cell treatment that targets proteins on cancer cells that have spread to the lining of the lungs, belly, or brain. It may help people whose cancer has not responded to standard treatments.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT06016179RecruitingPhase 1
Tocilizumab given through fluid-draining tubes for advanced cancer
This trial tests a drug called tocilizumab, which is given through the tube that drains fluid from your chest or belly. The goal is to see if it can help control cancer-related fluid buildup and improve symptoms.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–89 - NCT07658196RecruitingPhase 1
TLR9 immunotherapy for stomach or appendix cancer spreading in the abdomen
This trial tests an experimental immunotherapy that targets a protein called TLR9 to help your immune system fight cancer cells that have spread into the lining of your abdomen (peritoneal carcinomatosis). It's for people with colorectal or appendix cancer that has spread this way and may also have some limited spread to the liver or lungs.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT07561437RecruitingEarly Phase 1
NK521 infusion for advanced cancer with fluid buildup
This early-stage trial tests NK521, a new immunotherapy infusion, for patients with advanced solid tumors (like liver, stomach, or colon cancer) that have spread and caused fluid buildup in the belly. The goal is to see if NK521 can help shrink tumors and improve survival when standard treatments have stopped working.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05438459RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Pembrolizumab-based treatment given through an abdominal port
This early-phase study tests an antibody-based treatment given directly into the abdomen (through a port) for advanced stomach or pancreatic cancer that has spread in the lining of the belly or is causing abdominal fluid buildup. It’s designed for patients whose cancer has not responded to earlier chemotherapy, with the goal of improving cancer control and shrinking belly fluid.
Fukuoka, FukuokaAges 20 years+ - NCT07149090RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lenvatinib, Nivolumab, and Chemo in Stomach Cancer with Ascites
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (lenvatinib and nivolumab) plus chemotherapy for people with advanced stomach cancer that has caused fluid buildup in the belly. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink the cancer and reduce the fluid.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06413212Recruiting
Personalized drug test for advanced cancer with fluid buildup
This trial uses a special test on your cancer cells to find which chemotherapy might work best for you. The aim is to treat advanced cancer that has caused fluid buildup in the chest or abdomen.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for malignant ascites?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 15 recruiting malignant ascites 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 malignant ascites 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 malignant ascites 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.
