SvendborgAges 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 - NCT04920032RecruitingPhase 1
Blood test–guided extra treatment for colon cancer recurrence risk
This Phase 1 study uses a blood test called ctDNA to decide whether and how to adjust treatment in people with colon cancer who still have a small amount of disease left after surgery. If your blood test remains positive, the trial aims to reduce recurrence risk by guiding treatment changes.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04920149RecruitingPhase 2
Mesalamine to help prevent colon cancer in Lynch syndrome
This trial tests whether mesalamine, a medicine used for bowel inflammation, can help prevent colorectal cancer in people with Lynch syndrome who do not currently have cancer. It may help by lowering the chance that new pre-cancer growths form over time.
AalborgAges 30 years+ - NCT04959604Recruiting
Fluorescent dye mapping to find lymph nodes in colon cancer
This trial studies whether a fluorescent dye used during an exam can help doctors map (find) lymph nodes in colon cancer. It may help improve how surgeons plan treatment and decide what to remove.
HamburgAges 18–100 - 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 - NCT05041478Recruiting
Cold removal method for large colon polyps
This trial compares two cold endoscopic techniques to remove certain large, non-cancerous colon polyps with better control of bleeding and leftover tissue. You may be offered one of the two removal methods during your scheduled colonoscopy.
Westmead, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05186116Recruiting
Liver transplant for colon cancer that cannot be removed
This trial studies whether liver transplant (rather than removing the liver tumors) can help some people with colon or rectal cancer spread to the liver. It’s meant for people whose cancer has responded or stayed controlled on standard treatments and who have no cancer outside the liver.
Modena, MOAges 18–77 - NCT05239546RecruitingPhase 2
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+ - NCT05250648RecruitingPhase 4
HIPEC with mitomycin C after surgery for colon cancer in the belly
This study looks at adding a heated medicine treatment (HIPEC with mitomycin C) during surgery to treat colon cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum). It aims to improve outcomes after surgeons remove visible tumor completely.
Elche, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT05257135Recruiting
Study database and blood samples for colon cancer cachexia
This study collects clinical information and planned blood samples to better understand “cachexia,” which is a serious wasting condition that can happen with advanced cancer. It may help doctors find better ways to predict and manage symptoms in people with colon cancer who can’t have surgery.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT05345613RecruitingPhase 4
Tranexamic acid during colon scope removal procedures
This trial tests whether tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps reduce bleeding) lowers bleeding during colon procedures where abnormal growths are removed with a flexible camera. You might benefit if you’re having one of these colonoscopic resection procedures and don’t have certain key risk factors.
Be’er Ya‘aqovAges 18 years+ - NCT05393609Recruiting
Quality-of-life study during surgery for diverticular disease
This trial studies how people’s quality of life changes around diverticular disease surgery. It may help doctors understand what to expect and how to better support patients before and after surgery.
Randers, Central JutlandAges 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 - NCT05709249RecruitingPhase 3
Chinese herbal medicine to help prevent colon cancer return
This Phase 3 study tests whether a Chinese herbal “decoction” (called XLJDOD) given after surgery and chemo can lower the chance that colon cancer comes back. It may help people with higher-risk colon cancer (Stage IIIB or IIIC) stay cancer-free longer.
NanjingAges 20–80 - NCT05713903Recruiting
Compare keyhole versus open surgery for right colon cancer
This trial compares two surgical approaches—keyhole surgery versus open surgery—for right colon cancer. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for patients needing planned (elective) tumor removal.
LarissaAges 18–90 - NCT05773144Recruiting
Exercise program during chemotherapy for colon cancer recovery
This trial tests an aerobic exercise plan during chemotherapy for people with stage II or III colon cancer. It compares different exercise approaches to see if exercise can be done safely and may improve how you tolerate treatment and recovery.
Oakland, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05835206RecruitingPhase 2
Drug to reduce antibiotic-resistant gut bacteria
This Phase 2 study tests whether an investigational treatment can help clear or reduce antibiotic-resistant bacteria living in the gut. It may help prevent these germs from causing future infections by targeting specific resistant bacteria found on stool or rectal swabs.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05914389RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemotherapy before surgery for colon cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies giving chemotherapy plus immune therapy before surgery for certain colon cancers that do not have mismatch repair defects (MSS/pMMR). The goal is to shrink and control the tumor and improve outcomes compared with standard approaches.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05955196Recruiting
Immune therapy trial for colon cancer using CD47 blockers
This trial studies an immune-based treatment that targets CD47 to help your immune system fight colon cancer. It may help by changing the “immune environment” around the tumor so it can be more effective, and it is aimed at people with colon cancer that is advanced, recurring, or needing surgery.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06050447Recruiting
Study on treatment results for colorectal cancer
This study looks at factors that affect outcomes in people with colorectal cancer who have surgery as their main treatment. It aims to help doctors understand how to improve care.
Kaliningrad, Kaliningrad OblastAges 18 years+ - NCT06107920RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy before surgery for blocked colon cancer
