Testing a new drug plus chemo for stage 4 colorectal cancer
This study tests a new experimental drug (PF-08634404) combined with standard chemotherapy for people with stage 4 colorectal cancer who have not yet been treated for their advanced disease. The goal is to see if the combination helps shrink or slow the growth of tumors.
Sunnyvale, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06562192RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a radioactive drug for advanced pancreatic, lung, breast, and colorectal cancers
This trial tests a new radioactive drug (177Lu-NNS309) for people with advanced pancreatic, lung, breast, or colorectal cancer that has not responded to prior treatments. It aims to see if the drug can target and shrink tumors.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT05176483RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combinations for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called zanzalintinib, which may slow or shrink various types of advanced cancer. It is given together with other cancer treatments, and the study is looking at many different cancers including kidney, prostate, bladder, lung, liver, and more.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04981119Recruiting
Test apheresis for CAR T manufacturing in HLA-A2 solid tumors
This trial studies how a process called apheresis is used to make CAR T cells for people with certain solid tumors. It is designed for tumors that have lost a specific immune marker (HLA-A*02), which may affect how well CAR T therapies work.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05919264RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
FOG-001 for advanced solid tumors with certain gene changes
This trial tests a new drug, FOG-001, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific changes in the WNT pathway genes. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Palo Alto, 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.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 15 years+ - 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.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07114601RecruitingPhase 1
Study of LY4257496 for people with GRPR-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, LY4257496, in people with certain types of cancer that have a protein called GRPR on their cells. The study aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Stanford, 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.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04282044RecruitingPhase 1
CRX100 drug trial for advanced cancers with or without pembrolizumab
This Phase 1 trial tests CRX100 (a new cancer medicine) alone and with pembrolizumab (an immune checkpoint drug) in people with advanced solid tumors. It’s mainly designed to check safety and side effects, and to see whether tumors respond, potentially helping people whose cancer has come back or stopped responding to standard treatment.
Stanford, 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.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07776353Recruiting
Understanding weight loss in advanced cancer
This study looks at how weight loss and muscle loss affect people with advanced cancer. It aims to find different types of weight loss to better guide treatment and care.
Pleasanton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06995898Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection
This study is testing a new blood test that may help find cancer early. You will give blood samples over a year, and researchers will check them for signs of cancer.
Pleasanton, CaliforniaAges 45–75 - NCT04589468Recruiting
Exercise for cancer survivors at high risk
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can help prevent cancer from coming back in people who have been treated for certain solid tumors (colorectal, ovarian, lung, or breast cancer). If you've completed surgery and adjuvant therapy within the past 2 years and are currently not exercising much, you may be eligible. Participation involves following an exercise plan and regular check-ins.
San Carlos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.

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.
