Recruiting studies
- NCT04861558RecruitingPhase 3
Warm chemotherapy placed in the abdomen to treat colon cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether heating chemotherapy and delivering it directly into the abdomen (along with standard surgery for cancer spread) works better for colon cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. It may help control the cancer after surgery, especially when the spread is mainly in the abdomen (and possibly the liver or lungs).
AhmedabadAges 18–79 - NCT06412510RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Exercise before chemo for several cancers
This trial tests a prehab program for older adults with certain cancers before they begin chemotherapy. The program may help you feel stronger and handle treatment better.
Cleveland, OhioAges 65 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 - NCT05303714RecruitingPhase 3
PIPAC plus chemo for limited peritoneal stomach cancer
This trial tests a treatment called PIPAC (medicine delivered into the abdomen through a small scope) along with “multimodal” therapy, including chemotherapy, for stomach cancer that has spread only in the lining of the abdomen in limited amounts. It may help control the cancer and prevent progression after surgery.
VeronaAges 18–75 - NCT07489287RecruitingPhase 1
GB-5267 for platinum-resistant ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer
This trial tests a new cell therapy (GB-5267) for people with platinum-resistant ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. It requires multiple tumor biopsies and aims to see if the treatment can help when standard chemo stops working.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05285358RecruitingPhase 1
Aerosol chemo plus standard drugs for bile duct and gallbladder cancer
This trial tests a new way to give the drug paclitaxel directly into your belly as a mist, along with two standard chemo drugs given through your veins, for bile duct or gallbladder cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly. The goal is to see if this approach can better control the cancer in the belly.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 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 - NCT06778954Recruiting
Pain control gel after stomach cancer surgery
This trial tests a gel (ropivacaine in a special polymer) applied during stomach cancer surgery to reduce pain after the operation. The goal is to help patients recover with less pain and fewer side effects from painkillers.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT05985655RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of GTAEXS617 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called GTAEXS617 for adults with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07546500RecruitingPhase 3
Azenosertib versus chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new drug called azenosertib against standard chemotherapy for ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer that has come back after platinum-based treatment. The drug targets a specific protein (cyclin E1) found in some tumors and may help stop cancer cells from dividing.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05347524Recruiting
Blood test study to detect stomach cancer spread in the belly
This study checks whether a blood liquid biopsy test can detect when stomach cancer has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneal metastasis). It compares people with confirmed belly spread to people whose belly lining tests were negative, using blood samples before/around treatment decisions.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–74 - NCT07133490RecruitingPhase 2
Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a new way to deliver chemotherapy directly into the abdomen using a spray (called PIPAC) in people with stomach cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly. The aim is to see if it can help control the cancer with fewer side effects.
AmsterdamAges Any age - NCT04570553Recruiting
Testing a tool during surgery for early endometrial cancer
This study looks at how well a surgical tool is used during standard surgery for early endometrial cancer, and whether it relates to test results from fluid taken in the abdomen. It may help surgeons improve how samples are collected and interpreted during routine care.
York, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06141265RecruitingPhase 2
Niraparib maintenance after chemo and Avastin for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests whether the PARP inhibitor niraparib can help keep advanced ovarian cancer from coming back. You may qualify if you have a BRCA mutation or HRD-positive tumor and finished first-line chemotherapy with bevacizumab (Avastin) with good response.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05913674RecruitingPhase 2
Feasibility of modified chemotherapy after bowel surgery
This Phase 2 study tests whether a modified chemotherapy given inside the abdomen soon after surgery is practical and safe. It may help people with appendix or colon cancer that has spread within the abdomen (peritoneal carcinomatosis) by targeting cancer cells after tumor removal.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06478394Recruiting
Blood test for hidden stomach cancer spread
This study tests a new blood test that uses machine learning to find hidden stomach cancer spread (peritoneal metastases) early. It could help people with locally advanced stomach cancer avoid unnecessary surgery.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06756035RecruitingPhase 1
Testing CT-95 in advanced cancers with mesothelin
This trial tests a new drug (CT-95) for advanced cancers that have a marker called mesothelin. It's an early-phase study to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06420973RecruitingPhase 2
Testing RC48 for ovarian cancer returning after platinum treatment
This trial tests a new drug, RC48, for people with ovarian cancer that came back after responding well to platinum chemotherapy. RC48 targets the HER2 protein on cancer cells, which may stop the tumor from growing. Researchers want to see if it's safe and works better than current options.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07213804RecruitingPhase 3
Study of sofetabart mipitecan for ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new drug called sofetabart mipitecan for people with ovarian cancer that has come back after treatment. It is for those whose cancer is either resistant to platinum chemo (Part A) or sensitive to it (Parts B and C). The study will see if the drug can help shrink or slow the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05879783Recruiting
Optical biopsy during surgery for colorectal belly tumors
This trial looks at using a special light-based method (optical biopsy) to examine small growths on the lining of the abdomen during colorectal cancer surgery. It may help doctors better assess these peritoneal nodules while you are already having an operation.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT04469764RecruitingPhase 2
Abemaciclib for certain recurrent ovarian or endometrial cancers
This Phase 2 study tests abemaciclib, a targeted pill treatment, for recurrent ovarian or endometrial cancer that shows specific tumor genetic patterns. It may help slow or control cancer growth in people whose tumor matches the required test results.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06543069RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for unresectable peritoneal mesothelioma
This trial tests a combination of four drugs (sintilimab, bevacizumab, pemetrexed, and cisplatin) to see if they can shrink or control peritoneal mesothelioma that cannot be surgically removed. It may be an option if you have this rare cancer and are in fairly good health.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT04111978RecruitingPhase 3
Maintenance hormone therapy after ovarian cancer responds
This Phase 3 trial tests whether ongoing treatment with an aromatase inhibitor (a hormone-blocking medicine) after initial chemotherapy can help keep epithelial ovarian/fallopian tube/peritoneal cancer from coming back. It is only for certain tumor types that are hormone-receptor positive (ER+).
