Recruiting studies
- NCT05760391Recruiting
Check anti-PD-1 therapy plus radiation for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial studies whether adding an anti-PD-1 immunotherapy (with chemotherapy) together with radiation can help people with advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer. It’s for cases where surgery or standard definitive chemoradiation can’t be done, or the cancer has spread to distant sites.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT05768139RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new targeted drug for advanced solid tumors with PI3Kα mutation
This trial tests tersolisib, a new targeted medicine, in adults with advanced or hard-to-remove solid cancers. It focuses on tumors that have a specific genetic change (PI3Kα mutation) to see how well the treatment works and what side effects it causes.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05779423RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing tumor plus two immunotherapies for advanced melanoma
This trial tests whether combining a local treatment that freezes a tumor (cryoablation) with two immune “checkpoint” medicines (ipilimumab and nivolumab) can better control unresectable melanoma. It may help when melanoma has grown after prior immune therapy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05789433Recruiting
Aerobic exercise study after colon or rectal cancer surgery
This trial studies whether a supervised aerobic exercise program helps muscles “remodel” (change/strengthen) after colon or rectal cancer treatment. It may help people improve physical function during recovery, but you can only join if it’s safe for you and you can follow the study plan.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05821556RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo test for untreated metastatic pancreatic cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of medicines (including valproic acid and a statin) along with standard chemotherapy for people with newly diagnosed metastatic pancreatic cancer. The goal is to improve cancer control before any prior pancreatic cancer treatments and to see how well the medicines work and are tolerated.
Naples, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT05830500RecruitingPhase 4
Anlotinib for advanced medullary thyroid cancer
This trial studies anlotinib in people with advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer that has been getting worse. It aims to see how well the treatment controls the cancer and how safe it is for patients who can’t have curative surgery.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT05872880Recruiting
Oral cancer treatment with chemo, then surgery and radiation
This trial studies giving chemotherapy first, then removing the tumor with surgery and follow-up radiation for certain cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma. It may help shrink and control the cancer before and after surgery, depending on how well the tumor can be fully removed.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–65 - NCT05874063RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing blood clots during first chemotherapy for germ cell tumors
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving enoxaparin (a blood thinner) can prevent dangerous blood clots in people with advanced germ cell tumors starting their first chemotherapy. It is especially focused on people who are at higher risk of clots.

Testing ART6043 for advanced cancers with DNA repair defects
This early-phase study tests ART6043 in people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors, and in some parts with breast cancer plus specific gene changes. The goal is to see how well it works and whether it is safe, sometimes combined with olaparib.
Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05947695Recruiting
Nurse-led comfort and survivorship care for advanced cancer
This study looks at whether a specialized nurse-led care plan soon after diagnosis/treatment helps people living with advanced (metastatic) cancer. It focuses on patients expected to do better than average based on certain prognosis factors.
West Islip, New YorkAges 21 years+ - NCT05969041RecruitingPhase 1
Early-phase drug trial for advanced epithelial cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a new drug (MT-302) in adults with advanced or metastatic epithelial cancers that have worsened or stopped responding to standard treatment. The goal is to see how the drug works and whether it is safe for people with limited options.
Darlinghurst, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05973864RecruitingPhase 2
Capecitabine plus pembrolizumab after TNBC surgery and chemo
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding capecitabine to pembrolizumab after surgery can lower the risk of cancer coming back in people with triple-negative breast cancer that didn’t fully respond to earlier treatment. It’s meant for patients whose tumor was removed but still showed remaining cancer after chemo-immunotherapy.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05981001RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Experimental cell therapy for advanced HER2-negative breast cancer
This study tests a new treatment for advanced HER2-negative breast cancer. Doctors will take immune cells from lymph nodes near your tumor, grow them in a lab, and then give them back to you along with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. This approach aims to help your body fight the cancer more effectively.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05999370Recruiting
Pre-surgery exercise and nutrition for older colorectal cancer patients
This trial tests whether exercise and nutrition support before surgery can help older colorectal cancer patients who are weak or malnourished. If you are 65 or older, scheduled for colorectal cancer surgery, and have trouble walking or eating well, this study may be for you.
Montreal, QuebecAges 65 years+ - NCT06008275RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Neratinib and ruxolitinib for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This early-phase trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs, neratinib and ruxolitinib, for people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer who have already had standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and effective.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06014658RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of MBRC-101 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, MBRC-101, that targets a protein called EphA5 found on some cancer cells. It is for people with advanced solid tumors (like lung, breast, or pancreatic cancer) that have stopped responding to other treatments. The study aims to find a safe dose and see if the drug can shrink tumors.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06015932Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for colorectal cancer (locally advanced or metastatic)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 5,580 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.
