Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07226115Recruiting
Predicting chemotherapy outcomes for colorectal cancer
This trial uses a special test on your tumor tissue to see if it can predict how well chemotherapy will work for you. If you have had chemotherapy for stage II or III colorectal cancer after surgery, your stored tumor sample may help develop a tool that could guide future treatment decisions.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT07224724Recruiting

What taking part in a cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
