Recruiting studies
- NCT05914766Recruiting
Support program for newly diagnosed rectal cancer patients
This trial tests an informational and supportive care program for people with newly diagnosed, locally advanced rectal cancer. It may help by providing education and practical support around next steps in treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05984485RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery vs chemo before surgery for low-risk rectal cancer
This trial compares two approaches for low-risk locally advanced rectal cancer: going straight to surgery (TME) versus receiving chemotherapy before surgery. The goal is to see if upfront surgery works just as well, sparing patients from chemotherapy side effects.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07359989Recruiting
Leucine plus chemoradiation before surgery for rectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding leucine (a simple amino acid) to standard chemoradiation before surgery can help shrink rectal cancer and improve outcomes. It is for people with locally advanced rectal cancer that hasn't yet spread to other organs.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT07649928RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing ES502 for Advanced Pancreatic and Other Cancers
This early-stage trial tests a new drug called ES502 for patients with advanced cancers (including pancreatic cancer) that have a specific genetic mutation and certain immune markers. The study aims to find the right dose and see if it helps shrink tumors.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07395505Enrolling by invitation
Surgery for advanced rectal or anal cancer
This trial studies the results of a major surgery called pelvic exenteration for patients with advanced rectal or anal cancer that has spread to nearby tissues or bones but not to distant organs. The goal is to see how well the surgery works and how patients recover afterward.
TaoyuanAges 20 years+ - NCT05768503RecruitingPhase 3
Test new drugs after colorectal cancer chemotherapy
This Phase 3 trial compares a new treatment combination (chidamide plus sintilimab plus bevacizumab) versus the standard second-line chemotherapy (FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab) for advanced colorectal cancer that is microsatellite stable/low. It aims to see which treatment works better and is safer for people whose cancer grew after first-line oxaliplatin-based therapy.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT07623902Recruiting
Testing a Tongue Scan to Detect Colorectal Polyps
This study tests whether a new tongue-scanning tool called Gixam can help find advanced colorectal polyps in people with negative stool tests. If it works, it might offer a simpler screening option alongside colonoscopy.
Orlando, FloridaAges 45–84 - NCT07192068RecruitingPhase 2
Zanidatamab for HER2-altered solid tumors
This trial tests a drug called zanidatamab in people with certain cancers (endometrial, colorectal, head & neck, non-small cell lung, or sarcoma) that have a specific change in the HER2 gene. It's for those whose cancer has spread or can't be removed and who have tried at least one prior treatment.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06229041RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo and radiation with or without immunotherapy for high-risk rectal cancer
This trial tests if adding immunotherapy to standard chemotherapy and radiation before surgery helps shrink high-risk rectal cancer and prevent it from coming back. You may be a good fit if you have a specific type of advanced rectal cancer that hasn't spread to other parts of your body.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06006390RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-T therapy for CEA-positive advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new treatment called CAR-T cells that are designed to find and attack cancer cells carrying a protein called CEA. It is for people with advanced colorectal, esophageal, stomach, or pancreatic cancer who have already tried other treatments.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT07179692RecruitingPhase 1
CEA-targeted CAR-T therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a type of immunotherapy called CAR-T, which is designed to recognize and attack cancer cells that have a protein called CEA on their surface. It's for people with advanced cancers like colorectal, esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, lung, or bile duct cancer who have tried at least two standard treatments.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07260591RecruitingPhase 1
VSV-02 for advanced solid tumors that need new options
This trial tests an experimental virus therapy called VSV-02 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The treatment is given directly into a tumor, aiming to attack cancer from the inside.
Xinxiang, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07629960RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New KRAS-Targeting Drug for Advanced Solid Tumors
This early-stage trial tests BLU-924, a new drug designed to target cancer cells with specific KRAS mutations (a common genetic change in pancreatic, lung, and colon cancers). The study aims to find the right dose and see how well it works in patients whose cancers have progressed despite standard treatments.
Sarasota, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07213193Recruiting

TST001 for advanced or metastatic solid tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests TST001, and sometimes a combination with other cancer medicines, to see how safe it is and how well it may work in advanced or metastatic solid tumors. You might be eligible if you have certain tumor types and lab/health requirements, and if your tumor tissue shows specific marker results (depending on the study part).

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 429 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.
