- NCT07224815Recruiting
DNA markers to predict chemo response in advanced colon cancer
This study uses a blood test to look for specific DNA changes that may help predict how well chemotherapy works in people with metastatic colorectal cancer. The goal is to find markers that could guide future treatment decisions.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07271355RecruitingPhase 3
Pressurized chemo spray for appendix or colorectal cancer spread in abdomen
This trial tests a new way to deliver chemotherapy directly into the abdomen as a pressurized spray, using a drug called mitomycin. It is for people with appendix or colorectal cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen and cannot be removed by surgery.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07226115Recruiting
Predicting chemotherapy outcomes for colorectal cancer
This trial uses a special test on your tumor tissue to see if it can predict how well chemotherapy will work for you. If you have had chemotherapy for stage II or III colorectal cancer after surgery, your stored tumor sample may help develop a tool that could guide future treatment decisions.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06528990RecruitingPhase 2

Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05366881Recruiting
Blood test study to spot early cancer signal and cancer leftovers
This observational study checks whether a blood test (a “cfDNA” test) can detect early signs of cancer or small amounts of cancer left after treatment. It may help doctors use a simple blood sample to improve cancer detection and follow-up.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT07224789Recruiting
Finding colorectal cancer early with a blood test for circular RNA

If you have early-stage colorectal cancer (stage I–III) and have had a blood sample taken before any treatment, you may be able to help researchers develop a better detection method.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07790718Recruiting
Exercise program to prevent colorectal cancer after prostate radiation
This study tests whether an exercise program can help prevent colorectal cancer in men who have had pelvic radiation for prostate cancer. It involves using an iPhone app to track activity and attending exercise sessions.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 40–80 - NCT07224724Recruiting
Exosome liquid biopsy for colorectal cancer spread
This study uses a blood test to detect if colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver has also spread to other parts of the body. It may help doctors better understand how the cancer is moving and guide treatment decisions.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07544589RecruitingPhase 1
Study of DISP-10 for advanced gastrointestinal cancers
This trial tests a new treatment called DISP-10 for people with advanced cancers of the digestive system, such as stomach, colon, or bile duct cancers. It aims to see if DISP-10 is safe and effective.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04329494RecruitingPhase 1
Study of targeted drug delivery into the abdomen using PIPAC
This Phase 1 trial tests PIPAC, a way to deliver anti-cancer medicine directly into the abdomen using a minimally invasive procedure. It is for people with peritoneal spread from certain cancers to see whether this approach is safe and potentially helpful.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07224750Recruiting
A blood test to find early signs of gastrointestinal cancer
This study is testing a blood-based test to detect unique molecules (called miRNAs) that may signal the presence of several types of gut or digestive system cancers. The goal is to develop a simple screening tool that could catch these cancers earlier.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06298916RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of 64Cu-LNTH-1363S in Sarcoma or GI Cancer
This trial tests a new imaging agent, 64Cu-LNTH-1363S, to see if it can find certain sarcomas and gastrointestinal cancers. The goal is to help doctors better see where your cancer is and plan the best treatment. You may be eligible if you have a sarcoma or a GI cancer and are willing to have a tumor tissue sample taken.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 15 years+ - NCT03659448RecruitingPhase 3
Test drug that helps map colon and rectal cancer during surgery
This Phase 3 study tests SGM-101, a drug used during surgery to help doctors better outline primary, recurrent, and spread (metastatic) colorectal cancer. It may improve how completely tumors are identified and removed during an operation.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07318805RecruitingPhase 1
A study of PF-08032562 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new medicine, PF-08032562, for people with advanced breast or colorectal cancer that has not responded to prior treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and can help shrink or slow the cancer.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07535112RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced colorectal cancer with KRAS G12D mutation
This trial tests an experimental drug (BAY 3771249) for people with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer that has a specific genetic change called KRAS G12D. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and if it can help shrink tumors.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06128551RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing two targeted drugs for KRAS G12C advanced cancer
This study tests two oral medicines (elironrasib and daraxonrasib) given alone or together to see if they can shrink tumors or slow down cancer growth in people with advanced solid tumors that have a KRAS G12C mutation. It is for people who have already tried other treatments.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06580002RecruitingPhase 2
Can Riluzole Help with Chemo Brain? A Pilot Study
This study tests if a medicine called riluzole (currently used for ALS) can help with 'chemo brain' – memory and thinking problems after cancer treatment. It is for people who feel their mental sharpness has declined after breast cancer therapy, certain chemotherapies, or brain radiation.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05691491RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Temozolomide plus M1774 for advanced metastatic cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of temozolomide and M1774 to see how safe it is and whether it can help shrink advanced cancers that have spread. It focuses on certain tumor types and specific biomarker results, and it may be an option if standard treatments have been tried or aren’t possible.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04920032RecruitingPhase 1
Blood test–guided extra treatment for colon cancer recurrence risk
This Phase 1 study uses a blood test called ctDNA to decide whether and how to adjust treatment in people with colon cancer who still have a small amount of disease left after surgery. If your blood test remains positive, the trial aims to reduce recurrence risk by guiding treatment changes.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06654037RecruitingPhase 1
Testing abemaciclib plus 5-FU for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial is testing whether adding a targeted drug called abemaciclib to the standard chemotherapy 5-FU can help people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer (MSS) that has stopped responding to other treatments. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07447050RecruitingPhase 2
Riluzole to Prevent Chemo-Related Cognitive Problems
This pilot study tests whether the drug riluzole can help prevent the thinking and memory problems (often called 'chemobrain') that some people experience during chemotherapy. If you are about to start a chemo regimen containing an anthracycline or platinum drug, you may be able to join.

What taking part in a colorectal cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
