Recruiting studies
- NCT05933876Recruiting
Radiation study for limited spread cancer
This trial looks at whether giving radiation treatment to tumors in people with a limited number of metastases can help control the cancer. It is for adults with certain cancer types that have spread to specific organs, and who can manage daily activities with little or no help.
Albacete, AlbaceteAges 18 years+ - NCT07328516Enrolling by invitation
Farm childhood health study for adult children
This study looks at how early-life exposures on farms might influence long-term health. If you are an adult child of a farmer or farmworker from the Agricultural Health Study, and you spent time on a farm as a child, you may be able to join.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT07042243Recruiting
Florida ASCENT cancer study for patients and providers
This study looks at cancer care in Florida. If you have had cancer in the past and are not currently getting active treatment (like chemotherapy or radiation), this study may help researchers understand how to improve care.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT06395519RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of ETX-19477 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called ETX-19477 for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to other treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective, especially for those with certain genetic changes (BRCA2 mutations).
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07114627Recruiting
Capecitabine and oxaliplatin study for cancer patients
This study looks at how your genes affect the way your body handles the chemotherapy drug capecitabine when it's taken with oxaliplatin. The goal is to understand if certain genetic differences can impact drug levels, which may help personalize treatment in the future.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06287723Recruiting
Blood test for cancer DNA after liver surgery in colorectal cancer
This study uses a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) to look for tiny bits of cancer DNA after surgery for colorectal cancer that spread to the liver. It aims to see if this test can find cancer earlier than standard scans, which may help guide future treatment decisions.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT06841159RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized radiation plus immunotherapy and chemo for metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of ultra-precise radiation therapy, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that has a normal DNA mismatch repair system. The goal is to see if this personalized approach can better control the cancer and improve outcomes.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05963490RecruitingPhase 2
Regorafenib with or without targeted immunotherapy and radiation for spread colon cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether taking regorafenib alone or with immunotherapy (toripalimab) and a lower-dose radiation plan can better control metastatic colon or rectal cancer that has MSS/pMMR. It may help by combining cancer-blocking medicine with immune activation and focused radiation to metastatic spots.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT07527858RecruitingPhase 2
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+ - 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 - NCT05904665Recruiting
Blood methylation test to guide follow-up after colon cancer surgery
This study checks a special blood test (circulating tumor DNA methylation) to help guide follow-up after surgery for non-metastatic colon cancer. It may help find whether additional treatment or closer monitoring is needed based on the test results.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06525428RecruitingPhase 2
Adding radiation and immunotherapy to standard care for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial is testing a combination of standard chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab) for people with metastatic colorectal cancer. It aims to see if adding radiation therapy and immunotherapy can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07044908RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New drug combo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called TQB2922 combined with TAS-102, with or without bevacizumab, for people whose advanced colorectal cancer has a normal RAS and BRAF gene and has not responded to standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can slow or stop cancer growth.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 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 - NCT04716257Recruiting
Study of treatment outcomes in ovarian-spread colorectal cancer
This study follows women with colorectal cancer that has spread to the ovaries to see how care works in real life. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and how treatment choices affect outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06889610RecruitingPhase 2
Ablation plus drug therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests combining a liver tumor ablation procedure with systemic drugs for people with advanced colorectal, breast, or melanoma cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to see if this approach can help when standard treatments have stopped working.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT05101382Recruiting
Study of colorectal cancer records to improve future research
This retrospective study uses existing colorectal cancer imaging and/or preserved tissue samples to support more precise (personalized) research. It may help researchers better understand colorectal cancer over time, but it does not involve new treatment.
Genova, GEAges 18 years+ - NCT05343013RecruitingPhase 2
TAS-102 with or without celecoxib for leftover colon cancer DNA
This Phase 2 study tests TAS-102, with or without celecoxib, to treat “minimal residual disease” (tiny traces of colon cancer) found in a blood test after standard chemotherapy. The goal is to reduce the chance that colon cancer returns after treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05379595RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Amivantamab for advanced colon or rectal cancer with specific tumor traits
This Phase 1/2 study tests amivantamab alone or combined with standard chemotherapy to treat advanced or metastatic colon or rectal cancer. You may be able to join if your tumor has the right genetic profile (typically “wild-type” for certain genes and no HER2 amplification) and your cancer has measurable or biopsy-able lesions.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06136949Recruiting
STARD3 study for colorectal cancer patients
This study looks at a marker called STARD3 in colorectal cancer to understand its role and potential for targeted treatment. It may help find new ways to treat the disease.

A safety trial of trifluridine/tipiracil for DPD-deficient patients
This trial tests a chemotherapy drug (trifluridine/tipiracil) in people with metastatic colorectal or gastroesophageal cancer who have a DPD deficiency. DPD deficiency means your body may have trouble breaking down certain chemotherapy drugs, which can lead to serious side effects. This study aims to see if this drug is safe and effective for you.

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.
