Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06802172Recruiting
Timing meals during cancer treatment for Alaska Native patients
This study tests whether scheduling meals at specific times of day can improve how patients feel during cancer treatment. It is for Alaska Native or American Indian people with certain cancers (rectal, HER2+ or triple negative breast, or other solid tumors) who are receiving neoadjuvant (before surgery) or adjuvant (after surgery) therapy.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 21 years+ - NCT05394714RecruitingPhase 1
Magicell-NK cell therapy after colon cancer surgery
This early-stage trial tests an individualized immune cell treatment (Magicell-NK) made from your own cells to help prevent colon cancer from coming back after surgery. It studies safety and how well the treatment works in people with early-stage colon cancer.
TaoyuanAges 20 years+ - NCT03803553RecruitingPhase 3
Testing blood tumor DNA treatment after stage III colon surgery
This trial studies how to find tiny hidden cancer cells after stage III colon cancer surgery using a blood test. If the blood test shows tumor DNA, you may get additional treatment to lower the chance of cancer coming back.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03819296RecruitingPhase 1
Fecal transplant to treat cancer immunotherapy bowel side effects
This early-phase study tests whether changing your gut bacteria with a fecal transplant can improve diarrhea or colitis caused by cancer immunotherapy. It may help people whose symptoms have not fully settled with standard treatments like steroids and other immune-blocking medicines.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04089631RecruitingPhase 3
Blood test guides extra treatment after stage II colon cancer surgery
This study uses a blood test called ctDNA to decide whether you need extra (adjuvant) chemotherapy after stage II colon or certain stage II rectal cancer surgery. It may help avoid unnecessary treatment or better target people who still have signs of cancer after surgery.
Dresden, SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT04624555Recruiting
Check how well stool DNA tests help watch for colon cancer return
This trial studies whether an at-home stool DNA test (Mt-sDNA) can safely and usefully monitor people after colon or rectal cancer treatment. It’s mainly about whether the test is practical and helpful during routine follow-up.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04871399Recruiting
Right colon cancer surgery with more thorough tissue removal
This trial compares a more complete surgery (removing the right colon and surrounding tissue more thoroughly) versus the usual right-colon surgery. It aims to see if the more thorough approach improves outcomes for people with non-metastatic right colon cancer.
Grosseto, ArezzoAges 18–85 - NCT04907643Recruiting
Virtual reality program to reduce stomach-cancer pain
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) can improve pain and other day-to-day symptoms in people with certain gastrointestinal cancers. You’d use VR for pain relief while researchers measure how you’re feeling.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT04916990Recruiting
Care program for rural adults with several lung and head cancers
This study looks at how to improve care for adults with certain cancers who live in rural areas and may face access problems. It mainly focuses on people receiving cancer treatment at specific Colorado-area hospitals, and who are uninsured or underinsured.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–99 - NCT04980287Recruiting
Surgery trial for colon cancer spread to stomach-area fat
This trial studies whether a specific surgery that removes the colon’s associated tissue (and part of the nearby stomach-area tissue) improves outcomes for certain colon cancer cases that are at risk of spreading there. If you qualify, your doctors will compare your treatment approach as part of the study to see if it helps.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05179889RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Chemo after surgery for high-risk stage III colon cancer
This trial tests giving mFOLFIRINOX chemotherapy after curative surgery for people with high-risk stage III colon cancer. It aims to lower the chance that cancer comes back.
DaejeonAges 20–75 - NCT05194878RecruitingPhase 3
Before-surgery chemotherapy vs immediate surgery for colon cancer
This trial compares giving chemotherapy before surgery versus going straight to surgery for certain stage II/III colon cancers. It may help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes by testing which approach works best for high-risk cases.

Dostarlimab before colon surgery for mismatch-repair–deficient cancer
This study tests dostarlimab given before surgery for stage II or III colon cancer that has a specific DNA repair defect. It aims to shrink or control the cancer so that some people may be able to skip surgery if the results are good.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT05529615Recruiting
Blood DNA test guides chemotherapy after colon cancer surgery
This trial checks a blood test called circulating tumor DNA to help choose the best time and approach for chemotherapy after colon cancer surgery. It aims to reduce recurrence by identifying people who may benefit from treatment based on changes seen in the blood.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05713903Recruiting
Compare keyhole versus open surgery for right colon cancer
