Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04050345Recruiting
Blood test to spot DNA changes after early colon cancer surgery
This study checks a “cell-free tumor DNA” blood test to see if cancer mutations can predict relapse after surgery for early colorectal cancer. If results look risky, they may help guide closer follow-up and future treatment decisions.
Milton Keynes, BuckinghamshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07830407Recruiting
Personalized chemo response test for colorectal cancer
This study is testing a new lab test called ChemoINTEL that may help predict how well your colorectal cancer will respond to common chemotherapy drugs. The goal is to see if this test can help doctors choose the most effective treatment for you.
Liverpool, MerseysideAges 18 years+ - NCT07829081Recruiting
Watch-and-wait after immunotherapy for early-stage GI cancers
This study looks at whether some patients with early-stage stomach, colon, or rectal cancers that are mismatch repair-deficient (a genetic feature making them more likely to respond to immunotherapy) can safely avoid surgery and instead be monitored closely after treatment with immunotherapy. It aims to confirm if this watch-and-wait approach is as effective and helps patients avoid major operations.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT05187338RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drugs that target immune checkpoints for solid tumors
This early-phase study tests a combination of three immune “checkpoint” medicines in people with advanced solid cancers. It aims to see how well they work and what side effects occur, including when given through a specific liver-focused treatment in eligible patients.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07805551RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
HDM2017 combination therapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This study tests a new drug called HDM2017 in combination with other treatments for advanced colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for advanced colorectal cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 431 recruiting advanced colorectal 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 advanced colorectal 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 advanced colorectal 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.
