Surgery plan for RAS-mutant colon cancer liver metastases
This trial studies an approach to surgically removing liver metastases from colon (or rectal) cancer that has an RAS gene mutation (KRAS or NRAS). If you qualify, you would be evaluated for whether a “complete” (R0) liver operation is planned and technically possible, aiming to improve cancer control by how the liver is cut.

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05592886Recruiting
Oral probiotic-and-prebiotic drink to prevent colon polyps returning
This study tests whether an oral synbiotic (a probiotic plus a prebiotic) can reduce the chance that advanced colon growths come back after they were removed. It also looks at changes in stool-related bacterial “gene markers” that may signal lower risk over time.
Hohhot, Inner MongoliaAges 18–90 - NCT06589440RecruitingPhase 2
Study of SR-8541A plus two immunotherapies for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination (SR-8541A, botensilimab, and balstilimab) for people with a specific type of metastatic colorectal cancer that is not MSI-high. It aims to see if this combination can help when other treatments have stopped working.
Morristown, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07393906Recruiting
Eat right, screen right for colorectal cancer prevention
This study looks at how healthy eating and regular screening can help prevent colorectal cancer. You may join if you are an adult who can use a computer or mobile device.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07247396RecruitingPhase 1
CEA CAR-T therapy after surgery for colorectal cancer spread
This trial tests a special immune cell therapy (CAR-T) that targets a protein called CEA on cancer cells. It is for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly (peritoneum) and who have already had surgery to remove as much of the spread as possible.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07683949Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Capecitabine plus lenvatinib for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two oral drugs, capecitabine and lenvatinib, in people with advanced colorectal cancer that has stopped responding to three common chemotherapy drugs. It aims to see if this new combination can help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Seongnam-si, Out of USAges 19–99 - NCT05008809RecruitingPhase 3
FIRE-9 trial: chemo after colon cancer metastasis removal
This trial studies whether giving chemotherapy after surgery or ablation (destroying spots of cancer) can improve outcomes in people with metastatic colon or rectal cancer. It compares post-treatment chemotherapy strategies to reduce the chance the cancer comes back.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for colorectal cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,072 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.
