New Immunotherapy Drugs Before Surgery for Advanced Colorectal Cancer
This trial tests two immunotherapy drugs (botensilimab and balstilimab) given before surgery to treat advanced colorectal cancer that can be removed. The goal is to help the immune system fight cancer cells and improve outcomes after surgery.
Goodyear, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07644286RecruitingPhase 2
Pirfenidone and immunotherapy with optional radiation for advanced colorectal cancer
This study tests a combination of three treatments—pirfenidone (an anti-scarring drug), a PD-1 inhibitor (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer), and sometimes radiation—for colorectal cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can slow or shrink your cancer.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT07542262Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Low-dose immunotherapy for advanced colorectal and stomach cancer
This study tests a lower dose of immunotherapy in patients with colorectal or stomach cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. The cancer must have a specific genetic feature (MSI/dMMR). The goal is to see if this approach works well with fewer side effects.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT07470658Enrolling by invitation
Surveillance after positive FIT and normal colonoscopy
This trial studies the best way to follow up with people who had a positive FIT stool test (high blood level) but a normal colonoscopy. It aims to find the right schedule for future screening to catch any problems early.
TaipeiAges 45–74 - NCT06936527Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Combination therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer with RAS mutation
This trial tests a new drug called XS-03 combined with standard chemotherapy and bevacizumab for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that has a specific genetic change called a RAS mutation. It aims to see if this combination is more effective than current treatments.
BeijingAges 18–70 - NCT06849362Enrolling by invitation
Optimizing immunotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This study looks at how well different combinations of immunotherapy drugs work for advanced colorectal cancer that is MSS or MSI-L or pMMR. It reviews past patient records to see which treatments help control the disease and slow its growth.
Changsha, HunanAges Any age - NCT07333053Recruiting
Chemotherapy through a catheter for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests giving chemotherapy directly into the artery that feeds the tumor, which may help control advanced colorectal cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It is for people who have not yet had other treatments and whose main tumor is in the colon or rectum.
Xicheng, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04222413RecruitingPhase 1
Study of metarrestin for advanced solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called metarrestin for people with solid tumors that have spread or come back after standard treatment. It may help by targeting a protein involved in cancer cell growth.
Fairway, KansasAges 12–120 - NCT05144152Recruiting
Testing M3 and FIT to predict polyp return in colon exams
This study checks how well two lab tests (M3 and FIT) can predict whether advanced colon polyps (adenomas) will come back. If you’ve had adenomas found on a prior colonoscopy, these results may help plan future surveillance.
Shatin, New TerritoriesAges 18 years+ - NCT03401294RecruitingPhase 2
Turn unresectable liver cancer into operable colorectal cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment strategy to shrink or control colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver, with the goal of making it removable by surgery. If you qualify, it may offer a chance to move from “not operable” to “operable,” but it’s still experimental.
Regina, SaskatchewanAges 18–70 - NCT06889610RecruitingPhase 2
Ablation plus drug therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests combining a liver tumor ablation procedure with systemic drugs for people with advanced colorectal, breast, or melanoma cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to see if this approach can help when standard treatments have stopped working.

Personalized treatment plan for metastatic colon or rectal cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests an individualized treatment chosen from your tumor’s lab testing (genetic and RNA profile plus a drug-sensitivity test from your tumor cells). It may help by matching you to targeted anti-cancer drugs that are most likely to work for your specific cancer.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT05856981RecruitingPhase 1
Testing ADU-1805 for advanced solid tumors safety
This early study tests whether ADU-1805 is safe in people with advanced solid tumors and checks how the body processes the drug. Depending on your cancer type, it may also be looking specifically at certain cancers that have not yet received PD-(L)1 immunotherapy.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for advanced colorectal cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 434 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.
