GASTRIC (STOMACH) CANCER

This early-phase trial is testing an experimental drug called DA-3501 in 51 adults with advanced stomach, gastro-esophageal junction, or pancreatic cancers that have a specific protein (CLDN18.2). Participants receive the drug by IV once every three weeks. The main goals are to f…

This clinical trial is looking at the best timing for local treatments like surgery or radiation in people with esophageal or stomach cancer that has spread to only a few spots. All participants first get 4 months of standard drug therapy. Then, depending on their response, they …

This study tests a new drug called TCC1727 combined with other medicines (benmelstobart, olaparib, or topotecan) in people with advanced solid tumors, including lung, stomach, endometrial cancer, and melanoma. The goal is to find the safest dose and see if the combination helps s…

This study tests a combination of three drugs (fruquintinib, trastuzumab, and chemotherapy) as a first treatment for people with HER2-positive advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal is to see if the combo is safe and can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth…

This study tests a new treatment called RAK cell therapy, made from human umbilical cord blood, for people with advanced stomach cancer that has spread or come back after standard treatment. The goal is to see if it can help patients live longer and keep the cancer from growing, …

This study is testing a new way to screen for stomach cancer using a stool sample and a simple questionnaire. Researchers will enroll 15,000 people aged 40 and older to see if the fecal DNA test can find cancer earlier than current methods. Participants will provide a stool sampl…

This phase 2 trial tests whether riluzole, a drug already approved for ALS, can prevent the cognitive problems (often called 'chemo brain') that many cancer patients face during chemotherapy. The study will enroll 24 adults with various cancers who are about to start chemotherapy…

This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) can reduce severe belly pain and improve quality of life in people with digestive tract cancers. 360 participants will be split into three groups: one using a skills-based VR program, one using distracting VR videos, and a contr…

This study investigates clonal hematopoiesis (CH) — small mutations in blood cells that can arise naturally or after cancer treatment — in adults receiving chemotherapy or radiation for solid tumors like breast, lung, or colorectal cancer. Researchers will collect blood, saliva, …

This observational study will follow 1,000 adults in Algeria who have been diagnosed with gastric cancer. Researchers will collect information on patient demographics, risk factors, symptoms, how the cancer is diagnosed, and what treatments are used. The goal is to better underst…

This study follows 3,000 adults aged 40 and older who carry Helicobacter pylori, a common stomach bug. Researchers want to see if people with certain high-risk subtypes of the bacteria develop stomach cancer more often than those with other subtypes or no infection. Participants …

This study at Stanford University collects tissue and blood samples from 100 adults with or at high inherited risk for stomach, esophageal, or related cancers. Researchers aim to understand how genes and proteins contribute to cancer development. The study does not test any treat…
