- NCT06051695RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T cell therapy for mesothelin-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR T-cells) designed to target cancer cells that have a protein called mesothelin but have lost a marker that lets them hide from the immune system. It's for people with advanced solid tumors who have already tried standard treatments.
La Jolla, 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.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04585750RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Studying a new drug for cancers with a specific TP53 change
This trial tests a new drug (rezatapopt) for people with advanced cancers that have a specific change in the TP53 gene, called Y220C. The drug is designed to target this change and may slow or stop cancer growth. Some participants may also receive an immunotherapy drug called pembrolizumab (Keytruda).
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT06562543RecruitingPhase 4
Fruquintinib for advanced colorectal cancer in minority populations
This trial tests a medication called fruquintinib (an oral pill) for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to prior treatments. It is specifically looking for participants who identify as Black or African American and/or Hispanic or Latino to help understand how the drug works in these groups.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06253871RecruitingPhase 1
Study of IAM1363 for HER2 Cancers

La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06750094RecruitingPhase 3
Study of amivantamab plus FOLFIRI in colorectal cancer
This trial tests adding amivantamab to standard FOLFIRI chemotherapy for people with certain types of colorectal cancer that have already been treated once. It aims to see if this combination works better than another common treatment (cetuximab or bevacizumab plus FOLFIRI).
Tijuana, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06710067Recruiting
Urine chemicals for diagnosing disease
This study looks at chemicals in urine to help find new ways to diagnose diseases. You give one urine sample and answer a few questions—no treatment or long-term follow-up needed.
Encinitas, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04929223RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted drug study for metastatic colon or rectal cancer
This Phase 1 study tests targeted cancer treatments in people with metastatic colorectal cancer, using genetic “biomarker” results to match you to the right treatment group. It focuses first on safety, and also looks for early signs the treatment may work in specific tumor subgroups.

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.
