Recruiting studies
- NCT03748485Recruiting
Chemo after surgery for certain stage III colon cancer
This trial studies whether adding chemotherapy after surgery helps people with colon cancer that was diagnosed before surgery as stage III and later found to be without certain high-risk features. It may help lower the chance the cancer comes back, but you must meet specific surgery and health criteria.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05410977Recruiting
Testing blood and stool for colon cancer in Lynch syndrome
This study collects blood and stool samples to see how well they can detect colorectal cancer or advanced growths in people with Lynch syndrome (an inherited colon cancer risk) or suspected Lynch syndrome. It may help find cancer or precancer earlier, which can improve next-step decisions.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06972160Recruiting
Boosting colorectal cancer screening in Barcelos/Esposende
This study looks at ways to help more people get screened for colorectal cancer. If you're between 50 and 74 and haven't had certain screenings recently, you may be able to join.
PortoAges 49–75 - NCT03837782Enrolling by invitation
Surgery outcomes for early to mid-stage colon cancer
This study looks at how well surgery works for people with colorectal cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It mainly includes patients who can have the tumor completely removed and accurately staged using lymph node samples.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT06965335Recruiting
Early-onset colorectal cancer study
This study looks at colorectal cancer that starts early in life (ages 18–40). It compares it to the same cancer in people over 60 to find differences. You can join if you have had colorectal cancer and can provide a sample of your tumor.
Milan, MilanoAges 18–40 - NCT05787197Recruiting
Blood test to guide treatment after colon cancer liver surgery
This trial studies a blood test (called ctDNA) in people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver and is being removed with curative surgery. The goal is to see how the blood test can help with planning and improving treatment after surgery.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT06746012Recruiting
Health app study for colorectal cancer survivors and their caregivers
This study tests a mobile health program to help colorectal cancer survivors and their family caregivers stick to healthy lifestyle habits. It's for survivors who are at least 6 months past treatment and have a smartphone.
Columbus, OhioAges 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+ - NCT00843375Recruiting
Testing stool samples to find early colon cancer and polyps
This study checks stool samples to see how well stool tests can detect early colon cancer and precancerous growths called adenomas. If you qualify, you’ll collect stool samples for a lab test (FIT) and sometimes this helps sort who should get follow-up testing.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04429542RecruitingPhase 1
Test of an EGFR-targeting drug for advanced solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests the safety of BCA101 (an EGFR-targeting treatment) alone or combined with pembrolizumab. It may help people with certain EGFR-driven advanced cancers, depending on the tumor type, prior treatments, and required biopsy testing.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06399757RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A study of APL-5125 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called APL-5125 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to or cannot be treated with standard therapies. If you have certain types of advanced cancer, this study may offer a new option.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05524428Recruiting
Test to improve colorectal cancer screening at community clinics
This study tries to reduce barriers to colorectal cancer screening by using a repeated “test and improve” approach with clinic staff. If you work in roles that support screening at participating community health centers, you may be eligible to help implement and evaluate these changes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06682650Recruiting
Colorectal cancer screening tool for Spanish-speaking communities
This study tests if a new tool can help clinics in Spanish-speaking communities get more people screened for colorectal cancer. If you are an adult 45–75 who is due for screening and get care at a participating clinic, you may be eligible.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 45–75 - NCT07736495RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Alpha-lipoic acid for chemo mouth sores in colorectal cancer
This trial tests if a supplement called alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) can protect against painful mouth sores caused by chemotherapy (FOLFOX-6) in people with colorectal cancer. If you are starting FOLFOX-6 for the first time for colorectal cancer, this study may help reduce treatment side effects.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT06004245RecruitingPhase 1
Study of VVD-133214 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called VVD-133214, alone or with other medicines, in people with advanced solid tumors that have specific DNA repair problems (MSI-H/dMMR). The goal is to see if it is safe and effective.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04120935Recruiting
Observational study for adults with possible or confirmed bowel cancer
This study mainly watches and records health information from adults with colorectal cancer (or a strong suspicion of it). It collects past tumor tissue and other clinical details to better understand the disease and care.
Biella, BiellaAges 18 years+ - NCT05038358Recruiting
Study of immune and chemo resistance in colorectal tumors
This study looks at how the immune system around a colorectal tumor relates to resistance to chemotherapy. You may be able to join if you are having surgery soon for colorectal cancer and have not yet had chemotherapy before surgery.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT05197322RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab before surgery for MMR-deficient colon or rectal cancer
This trial tests pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy medicine) given before curative surgery in people with certain MMR-deficient colon or rectal cancers. It aims to shrink or control the cancer so surgery can be done more effectively, and to see if outcomes improve compared with standard care.
CambridgeAges 18 years+ - NCT05355363Recruiting
Check what happens after missed colon follow-up for colon polyps
This study looks at the risk of new or advanced colon findings in people who had certain colon polyp results, but then did not get the recommended follow-up colonoscopy on time. It may help doctors fine-tune how urgently different patients need repeat colon checks.
Montreal, QuebecAges 45–80 - NCT05428735Recruiting
Liver-first treatment study for colorectal cancer spread to liver
This trial studies a “liver-first” approach for colorectal cancer that has spread mainly to the liver, to see if it can help more people have the tumor(s) removed or treated. You may be eligible if your liver involvement is too extensive for immediate surgery but could become treatable after a specific plan.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05536089Recruiting
Testing blood methylation to predict colorectal cancer relapse
This trial checks a blood test for “ctDNA methylation” to see who may be at higher risk of colorectal cancer returning after surgery. It may help doctors better judge whether adjuvant chemotherapy is working or needed.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05903885Recruiting
