Recruiting studies
- NCT07478900Recruiting
Tattoo marking breast tumors before chemo
This trial tests a simple method: marking the tumor with a small tattoo before chemotherapy. The tattoo helps surgeons find the exact spot for lumpectomy after the tumor shrinks, so you can keep more of your breast.
Bhubaneswar, OdishaAges 18–75 - NCT07281768RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo and immunotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding two types of immunotherapy (cemiplimab with either fianlimab or REGN7075) to standard chemotherapy is safe and effective for people with locally advanced rectal cancer that has not been treated before. It may help shrink the tumor enough to allow surgery that preserves the ability to control bowel movements.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06937567RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CDH17 car-t therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new treatment called CDH17 CAR-T for people with advanced solid tumors like colorectal, stomach, pancreatic, or bile duct cancer. It is for patients who have tried other treatments without success. The therapy uses your own immune cells, modified to target a protein called CDH17 found on some cancer cells.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT06224673RecruitingPhase 2
Testing ARX788 for HER2-low advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug, ARX788, for people with HER2-low breast cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if ARX788 helps shrink or control the cancer.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05427487RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a medicine injected into tumors for advanced cancers
This Phase 1 study tests IVX037, a medicine given directly into a solid tumor, to see if it is safe and may shrink tumors. It is for people with certain advanced colorectal, stomach/gastroesophageal, or ovarian cancers that have limited treatment options.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18–85 - NCT04691817RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing tocilizumab plus atezolizumab after lung cancer treatment failure
This trial studies whether combining tocilizumab with atezolizumab can help people with advanced lung cancer that has already stopped responding to an immune checkpoint medicine. It may help when standard immune therapy (and other treatments) aren’t working anymore.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03823144Recruiting
Imaging small live tumor details during surgery
This study uses a special camera to look at solid tumors from inside the body during an operation. It tests whether “live” tumor imaging (using a medicine called fluorescein) can be safely performed in people with certain solid cancers.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06784193RecruitingPhase 1
Study of OP-3136 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, OP-3136, alone or with other drugs, for people with advanced breast cancer, prostate cancer, or lung cancer that has stopped responding to other treatments. It aims to see if OP-3136 is safe and effective.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05286814RecruitingPhase 2
Pump-delivered therapy plus chemo for liver-metastatic cancers
This phase 2 study tests a liver-targeted medicine delivered through a special implanted pump, combined with standard chemo, for cancers that spread mainly to the liver. It may help control tumor growth in the liver and improve outcomes compared with standard treatment alone.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT04796818Recruiting
MRI scan to track response in colorectal liver metastases
This study uses a special MRI scan to see how colorectal cancer in the liver responds to planned chemotherapy before and after surgery. It may help doctors better measure treatment success and plan care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07448142RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose radiation with immunotherapy and chemo for advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation, an immunotherapy drug called pucotenlimab, and chemotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see if adding radiation helps shrink the tumor more effectively before surgery.
Guangzhou, GuanggongAges 18–75 - NCT06300177RecruitingPhase 3
New targeted pill vs. chemotherapy for KRAS G12C lung cancer
This trial compares a new targeted pill (D-1553) against a standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (KRAS G12C mutation) whose cancer has stopped responding to first-line immunotherapy and chemotherapy.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06477991Recruiting
No surgery after immunotherapy for MSI-H colorectal cancer
This trial is studying whether some people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer (MSI-H/dMMR) might be able to skip surgery after immunotherapy. Doctors will use a blood test (MRD monitoring) to track the cancer, and then decide whether to keep an eye on it or operate.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–75 - NCT07784374RecruitingPhase 2
Study of new targeted therapies for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests three new targeted drug combinations for pancreatic cancer that has a specific genetic change (KRAS G12D). They are comparing the study drug alone versus combining it with other investigational drugs to see which works better.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07772895RecruitingPhase 1
Glowing dye to help surgeons see lung cancer during surgery
This trial tests a dye that makes lung cancer cells glow during surgery, helping surgeons remove more of the tumor. It's for people who are already scheduled for lung cancer surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06079112RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New drug combo for advanced bladder cancer
This trial is testing a new combination of two drugs—9MW2821 (a targeted therapy) and toripalimab (an immunotherapy)—for people with advanced bladder cancer. It aims to see if using them together can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07753226RecruitingPhase 1
Study of SI-B036 for advanced breast cancer and other solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called SI-B036 for people with advanced breast cancer or other solid tumors that have spread. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and to find the best dose.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for colorectal cancer (locally advanced or metastatic)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 5,515 recruiting colorectal cancer (locally advanced or metastatic) 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 colorectal cancer (locally advanced or metastatic) 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 colorectal cancer (locally advanced or metastatic) 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.
