Serplulimab plus chemotherapy for early-relapsed colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug called serplulimab combined with standard chemotherapy or targeted therapy for colorectal cancer that has come back within a year after surgery. The goal is to see if adding this immune-boosting drug helps control the cancer better than chemotherapy alone.

Study of Denikitug with immunotherapy or chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called denikitug, given alone or combined with other cancer treatments, for patients with advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't responded to previous treatments. The goal is to help people whose cancer has a specific genetic profile (MSS) that doesn't respond well to standard immunotherapy alone.
North Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07520578RecruitingPhase 3
Doctor Support to Complete Colon Screening After Positive Test
This study tests whether early information and encouragement from your primary care doctor helps you complete a follow-up colonoscopy after an abnormal screening test for colorectal cancer. The goal is to reduce delays and ensure people get the care they need quickly.
Tours, FranceAges 50–75 - NCT07510308RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine trial for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a personalized vaccine made from your own tumor cells for advanced colorectal cancer that is mismatch repair proficient (pMMR). It aims to see if the vaccine can help when standard treatments have stopped working.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT07462143RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New drug plus chemo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug (RC148) combined with standard chemotherapy as a first treatment for colorectal cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. The goal is to see if this combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07399236Recruiting
AI prediction of liver spread in colorectal cancer
This study looks at whether an AI tool can predict if colorectal cancer will spread to the liver. The researchers will review past medical records of patients who had surgery to remove their cancer and had no signs of spread at that time.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06225843RecruitingPhase 2

Blood test to monitor metastatic colorectal cancer treatment (PROMET)
This study is testing whether a blood test that looks for tiny bits of tumor DNA (ctDNA methylation) can help monitor how well treatment is working in people with colorectal cancer that has spread. If you are getting radiation and chemotherapy (with or without an immunotherapy drug), this trial may help your doctor see if the treatment is working sooner.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07224789Recruiting
Finding colorectal cancer early with a blood test for circular RNA
This study is testing whether a simple blood test can detect circular RNA, a potential early marker for colorectal cancer. 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for colorectal cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,068 recruiting colorectal cancer 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 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 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.
