Personalized prevention plan for stomach and colon cancer in the community
This trial tests personalized prevention strategies to help lower the risk of stomach (gastric) and colon (colorectal) cancer in community members. It may help by tailoring screening and prevention steps to your individual health and risk factors.
TaipeiAges 50–75 - NCT03349762Recruiting
Huaier granules to help prevent colorectal cancer coming back
This study tests whether Huaier granules after surgery can lower the chance that colorectal cancer returns or spreads. It is for people who have recently had “radical” (complete) surgery for certain stages of colorectal cancer and are within about 2 months of that surgery.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–75 - NCT06446050RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Modified stem cells for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new treatment using special stem cells (modified to boost your immune system) for people with advanced colorectal cancer. It is for patients who are 18 or younger and whose cancer has not responded to or cannot be treated with standard therapies.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07809893RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for advanced colorectal cancer with BRAF mutation
This trial tests a new combination of drugs for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has a specific genetic change called BRAF V600E. The treatment includes a targeted therapy (ivosidenib) plus chemotherapy and a pain-relief drug (celecoxib). It is for people whose cancer has stopped responding to previous treatments, including BRAF-targeted therapies.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06547203RecruitingPhase 2
Cetuximab, irinotecan, and toripalimab for right-sided colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (cetuximab, irinotecan, and toripalimab) for people with advanced right-sided colon cancer that does not have certain gene mutations. It's for those whose cancer has gotten worse after standard treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06563986RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for advanced colorectal cancer in the liver
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (FTD and tipiracil), a targeted therapy (bevacizumab), and a radiation treatment (radioembolization) for people with colorectal cancer that has spread mainly to the liver and hasn't responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help control the cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for colorectal cancer prevention?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 109 recruiting colorectal cancer prevention 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 prevention 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 prevention 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.
