MELK inhibitor safety study for advanced breast cancer
This Phase 1 study tests how safe a drug called an MELK inhibitor is in people with advanced breast cancer that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery. If you qualify, the study is focused on side effects and includes a special group for triple-negative breast cancer.

Three-drug chemo plus targeted and immune therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a combination of three chemotherapy drugs (mFOLFIRINOX) along with anlotinib (a targeted therapy) and sintilimab (an immunotherapy) for people with advanced pancreatic cancer who have not had prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT06765616RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy with chemo and radiation for rectal cancer before surgery
This trial tests a combination of a PD-L1 inhibitor (adebrelimab), short-course radiation, and chemotherapy given before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–85 - NCT06893380Recruiting
Drug combo plus immunotherapy for advanced bile duct cancer
This study tests a combination of three drugs (gemcitabine, cisplatin, nab-paclitaxel) plus an immunotherapy (tislelizumab) for people with advanced biliary tract cancer who haven't had treatment yet. The goal is to see if this cocktail shrinks tumors better than standard care.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT07582887Recruiting
Genetic Testing to Predict Side Effects from Breast Cancer Antibody Drugs
This study examines how genetic differences affect how your body handles three newer breast cancer medications (Sacituzumab Govitecan, Trastuzumab Deruxtecan, or Datopotamab Deruxtecan). A blood test will check your UGT1A1 gene to help doctors predict which side effects you might experience and adjust your treatment accordingly.
Granada, GranadaAges 18 years+ - NCT06405139RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo combo (nanoliposomal irinotecan, oxaliplatin, capecitabine) before surgery for locally advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of three chemotherapy drugs (nanoliposomal irinotecan, oxaliplatin, and capecitabine) given before surgery to shrink locally advanced colorectal cancer that cannot be treated with radiation. The goal is to make the tumor removable with a better chance of complete removal (R0 resection).
BeijingAges 18–70 - NCT06543836RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy plus immunotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of a targeted therapy pill (TKI) and an immunotherapy (PD-1 inhibitor) for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments. It uses a blood test to tailor the treatment, aiming to be more effective with fewer side effects.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for colorectal cancer (locally advanced or metastatic)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 5,556 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.
