Recruiting studies
- NCT07595874RecruitingPhase 2
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+ - NCT07450612Recruiting
Blood test and AI for early colorectal cancer detection
This study uses a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) and computer analysis to find early signs of colorectal cancer, precancerous growths, and Lynch syndrome. It aims to improve early detection and monitor for any remaining cancer after treatment.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT06652672Recruiting
Sentinel Node and Organ-Sparing Surgery for Early Colon Cancer
This trial tests a less invasive surgery approach for early-stage colon cancer. It uses a special dye to find and remove only the first lymph node (sentinel node) while removing just the part of the colon with the tumor, possibly avoiding a bigger surgery.
AmersfoortAges 18 years+ - NCT06330246Recruiting
Testing a gut bacteria treatment for calcium oxalate kidney stones
This study tests whether giving a specific gut bacteria can help people with calcium oxalate kidney stones. It looks at whether the bacteria can change how the body processes oxalate, which may reduce stone formation.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT07795528Recruiting
Blood test to monitor colon cancer after surgery
This trial uses a simple blood test to look for tiny bits of tumor DNA after colon cancer surgery. If found, it may help doctors catch any remaining cancer early and guide further treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07405476RecruitingPhase 2
Zanidatamab before surgery for HER2 positive colon or rectal cancer
This trial tests if the drug zanidatamab, given before surgery, can help treat colon or rectal cancer that has a specific marker called HER2. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes for people whose cancer has not spread to other parts of the body.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07140679RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy after surgery for certain colon cancers
This trial tests whether giving an immunotherapy drug called toripalimab after surgery can lower the chance of colon cancer coming back. It is for people whose tumors have a specific genetic feature called mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) and who have had their cancer completely removed.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07143487Recruiting
Family communication after genetic testing for colon cancer
This trial studies how patients with newly diagnosed colon cancer share genetic test results with their family members. It aims to improve communication and support after learning about hereditary risk.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT05296681RecruitingPhase 2
Probiotic trial to help irinotecan work better in metastatic colon cancer
This trial tests a “microbiome health” product (a probiotic-type supplement) to improve how well irinotecan chemotherapy works for people with metastatic colon cancer. It aims to support gut health so treatment can be delivered effectively.
Hamilton, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04364373Recruiting
Test of different lymph node surgery for left colon cancer
This study compares two types of lymph node removal during surgery for left-sided colon cancer. It aims to see which surgical approach may work better while ensuring you can still safely complete chemotherapy.
MoscowAges 18–75 - NCT02172651RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Vitamin D during early colon cancer or liver surgery
This trial studies whether taking higher-dose vitamin D3 around the time of colon cancer (or colon cancer with resectable liver metastases) surgery improves outcomes. It focuses on safety and possible effects on cancer-related health after surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06640166RecruitingPhase 2
Encorafenib + Cetuximab with FOLFIRI after progression
This trial tests adding a new chemotherapy regimen (FOLFIRI) to the combination of Encorafenib and Cetuximab for people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer that has started growing again after initial treatment with Encorafenib and Cetuximab. The goal is to see if the new combination can help control the cancer longer.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05870800RecruitingPhase 2
Study Immunotherapy and Chemotherapy Before Colon Surgery
This trial tests immunotherapy plus chemotherapy given before surgery for colon cancer that hasn’t spread. It aims to shrink or control the tumor and improve outcomes in people whose tumor has certain immune/biologic features.
Houston, TexasAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT04668872Recruiting
Biopsy after liver radiation to see tumor cell changes
This trial gives radiation to liver tumors and then takes a small tissue sample (biopsy) to look for changes in the cancer cells after treatment. The goal is to learn what the radiation is doing inside the tumor, which may help improve future treatments.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - 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.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06338332Recruiting
Stent before surgery for right-sided colon blockage from cancer
This trial tests whether placing a stent first to relieve a blockage in the right side of the colon improves outcomes before surgery for colon cancer. It aims to help patients who come to the hospital with a blocked colon due to cancer.
Breda, North BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT06609551RecruitingPhase 3
ctDNA-guided chemo choice for elderly colon cancer patients
This trial tests whether using a ctDNA blood test can help choose the best chemotherapy after colon cancer surgery for people aged 70–80. It aims to make treatment more personalized and reduce side effects.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 70–80 - NCT05064124Recruiting
Real-time healthcare system during colonoscopy for colon cancer
This study tests a new real-time healthcare system meant to improve how doctors find and monitor colon cancer risk during colonoscopy. You might be able to take part if you are scheduled for a non-emergency colonoscopy and meet other safety and medical criteria.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07467928Recruiting
AI colonoscopy's long-term effect on advanced polyps
This study looks at how well AI-assisted colonoscopy prevents new advanced polyps from forming over the long term. It's for people who were in our earlier AI colonoscopy study and are healthy enough for a follow-up scope.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06703632Recruiting
Testing a new stool test for early colon cancer detection
This study is evaluating PreveCol, a new second-line stool test for people aged 50–69 who had a positive FIT/FOBT result and are already scheduled for a colonoscopy. It aims to find out if this test can help detect colorectal cancer earlier.
Lisbon, Lisbon DistrictAges 50–69 - NCT07351071Recruiting
Study of Signia circular stapler in left colon and rectal surgery
This study is testing a new circular stapler, called the Signia, used to reconnect the bowel during planned left-sided colon or rectal surgery. It aims to see how well the device works in everyday hospital settings.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 436 recruiting colonization 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 colonization 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 colonization 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.
