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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–100 - NCT07525206RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combination versus standard treatment for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether a new drug called telisotuzumab adizutecan, given with bevacizumab, works better than the current standard treatment for colorectal cancer that has spread and stopped responding to previous chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this new combination helps patients live longer.
East Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07321106RecruitingPhase 1
CBI-1214 for advanced colorectal cancer

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for colorectal cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,069 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.
