Recruiting studies
- NCT05803382RecruitingPhase 1
Adding a new drug to capecitabine for metastatic colorectal cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a new anti-cancer drug (ZEN003694) added to the usual chemotherapy capecitabine. It is for adults with colorectal cancer (and possibly other cancers) that has spread or cannot be removed and has continued despite prior standard treatment.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01174121RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy made from your tumor-fighting immune cells
This trial tests a treatment made from your own immune cells (called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, or TILs) for certain metastatic cancers. It’s designed for people whose cancer has not responded to standard treatments and who can safely provide a small tumor sample for cell-making.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT05485077Recruiting
Study of colorectal cancer screening in adults 40+
This study follows people age 40 and older to see how well colorectal cancer screening works in everyday community care. You may answer risk and follow-up questions over time, and the study looks for any cancer diagnoses that happen outside the study hospitals.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 40 years+ - NCT03349762Recruiting
Huaier granules to help prevent colorectal cancer coming back
This study tests whether Huaier granules after surgery can lower the chance that colorectal cancer returns or spreads. It is for people who have recently had “radical” (complete) surgery for certain stages of colorectal cancer and are within about 2 months of that surgery.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–75 - NCT07750158RecruitingPhase 3
Zanzalintinib for colorectal cancer with residual tumor dna
This trial is testing a new drug (zanzalintinib) alone or with pembrolizumab to see if it can stop cancer from coming back in people with colorectal cancer who have no visible cancer on scans but still have tumor DNA in their blood.
Council Bluffs, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT07542171Recruiting
Outcomes after incomplete early colon cancer removal
This study follows patients who had early colon cancer removed by endoscopy (a camera procedure) but the removal was incomplete. Researchers will track what happens when patients either have surgery afterward or are closely watched instead, to understand the best next steps.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05057052RecruitingPhase 2
Freezing liver tumors with immunotherapy and a pill drug
This Phase 2 trial tests whether freezing (cryoablation) plus sintilimab (an immune system medicine) and regorafenib (a pill) can shrink colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It is for people whose cancer has come back or progressed after at least two prior chemotherapy treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07318389RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Tracking tumor resistance in metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial studies how colorectal cancer that has spread becomes resistant to treatment. By taking biopsies over time, researchers hope to find new ways to target the cancer and help patients live longer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05346757Recruiting
Test stool DNA changes to screen or find colorectal cancer
This study checks whether a stool test that looks for tiny genetic signals can help detect colorectal cancer (or find it again after prior findings). You may be asked to provide a stool sample around the time you get a colonoscopy.
BarcelonaAges 18–80 - NCT07221357RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Pumitamig plus chemo vs standard care for new colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called Pumitamig combined with chemotherapy against standard bevacizumab plus chemotherapy for people with advanced colorectal cancer that cannot be surgically removed and hasn't been treated yet. The goal is to see which combination works better and is safer.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06555003RecruitingPhase 3
DEBIRI plus chemo vs. chemo alone for liver metastases
This trial tests if a treatment called DEBIRI (tiny beads delivering chemo directly to the liver) plus standard chemotherapy works better than chemotherapy alone for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and can't be fully removed by surgery.
Tehran, Tehran ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT07035886Recruiting
Fruzaqla for metastatic colorectal cancer in South Korea
This study monitors the safety and effectiveness of Fruzaqla (a targeted therapy taken as a pill) in adults with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. It is being done in South Korea to gather real-world information about how well the treatment works and how patients respond.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT06434597RecruitingPhase 2
Study of SPH5030 for HER2-positive advanced colorectal or bile duct cancer
This study tests a new medication (SPH5030) for people with advanced colorectal or biliary tract cancer whose tumors have a specific marker called HER2. It may offer a treatment option if previous therapies have stopped working.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06314022Recruiting
Mobile app for better colonoscopy in cancer screening
This study tests a mobile app designed to help improve the quality of colonoscopies for people in a colorectal cancer screening program. If you have had a positive FIT test and are between 50 and 69, you may be able to join.
Valladolid, ValladolidAges 50–74 - NCT04714957Recruiting
Personalized study for cancer spread in the belly lining
This trial studies people whose cancer has spread to the lining of the abdomen (the “belly lining”), including cancers from the digestive tract or ovaries. You may be asked to join because the study aims to learn how to better match care to different patterns of this belly lining cancer spread.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT07670312RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing XYA02 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called XYA02 for people with advanced solid tumors (like lung, ovarian, stomach, colorectal, or pancreatic cancer) that have come back or not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if XYA02 can shrink tumors or slow their growth, and to find the best dose.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT07417358Recruiting
Single-stapled method for colorectal reconnection
This study compares a single-stapled method for reconnecting the colon after left-sided colorectal surgery. It aims to see if this technique works as well or better than the usual approach.

Study of new radioactive treatments for GRPR-positive tumors
This early-phase study tests two new radioactive treatments (lutetium-177 and actinium-225) together with a guided imaging agent in people with GRPR-positive solid tumors (including prostate, breast, or colorectal cancers). The goal is to see if these treatments can shrink tumors that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
Melbourne N., VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07600125Recruiting
Stool test to screen for digestive tract cancers

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.
