- NCT07071961RecruitingPhase 2
Treatment for colorectal cancer with signs of remaining disease after therapy
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, regorafenib and lorigerlimab, for people with colorectal cancer that has a positive blood test for cancer DNA after they have finished standard treatments. The goal is to see if this treatment can delay or prevent the cancer from coming back.

Study of MCLA-158 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new experimental drug called MCLA-158 (petosemtamab) for people with advanced solid tumors, especially head and neck cancer or colorectal cancer, that have not responded to standard treatments. The study aims to see if this drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07391618RecruitingPhase 2
First treatment for advanced colorectal cancer with combo chemo
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs, levozolinate and 5-FU, given together as a first treatment for advanced colorectal cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It aims to see if giving them at the same time works better for patients who have never received treatment for this stage of cancer.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06614647Recruiting

This study compares how physical activity answers on a questionnaire match what a motion tracker measures. It may help researchers understand activity levels in people with lymphoma, colorectal, or pancreatic cancer during treatment.
GreifswaldAges 18 years+ - NCT06185556RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New treatments for liver tumors near blood vessels or bile ducts
This trial tests two procedures—irreversible electroporation and stereotactic body radiotherapy—for people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver (1–3 tumors near major blood vessels or bile ducts) and can't be surgically removed or treated with heat. The goal is to see if these approaches can safely destroy those hard-to-reach tumors.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06279351RecruitingPhase 2
Thalidomide plus standard chemo and cetuximab for left-sided colon cancer
This trial tests whether adding the drug thalidomide to standard chemotherapy plus cetuximab can work better for people with advanced left-sided colorectal cancer that hasn't been treated before. If you have a specific gene type (RAS/BRAF wild-type) and are in generally good health, this study may be an option.

This study enrolls people with colon cancer found on biopsy and who are able to have surgery. It mainly builds a medical database to help researchers understand care and outcomes, and it depends on you consenting to participate.
BeijingAges Any age - NCT07432633RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Imaging scan to detect cancer-linked protein in several tumor types
This trial tests a new PET scan tracer that targets a protein found on certain cancer cells. It may help doctors better see and understand tumors in people with colorectal, gastric, pancreatic, lobular breast, or ovarian cancer.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06484153RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of three drugs—fruquintinib (a targeted therapy), pirfenidone (an anti-fibrotic drug), and an immunotherapy (anti-PD-1)—for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if this triple therapy can shrink tumors more effectively than current options.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06997458Enrolling by invitation
Liquid biopsy study for advanced lung or colon cancer
This study is testing a simple blood draw (liquid biopsy) to track advanced lung or colon cancer. It may help doctors understand the cancer better without needing repeated tissue biopsies.
Granada, AndalusiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07237984Recruiting
COCO study for colorectal cancer screening
This trial looks at substances in your body to help find colorectal cancer earlier. It is for people who are already scheduled for a colonoscopy, either because of a positive stool test or cancer symptoms.
HillerødAges 18 years+ - NCT07307664Recruiting
Increasing genetic testing for cancer patients
This trial aims to increase the use of genetic testing (germline testing) among cancer patients by working with healthcare providers like oncologists and nurses. If you are an oncology care team member treating adults with breast, pancreatic, or colorectal cancer, this study may be for you.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT07543744RecruitingPhase 1
Comparing RPH-030 to Vectibix for metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether a new drug called RPH-030 works similarly to an existing drug called Vectibix in treating advanced colorectal cancer that has spread. Both drugs will be given alongside chemotherapy (FOLFIRI) as a first-line treatment.
ArkhangelskAges 18 years+ - NCT07411599RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-NK cell therapy plus cetuximab for belly-spread colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new cell therapy (CAR-NK cells given directly into your belly and a vein) combined with a targeted drug (cetuximab) for colorectal cancer that has spread mainly to the lining of your belly. It aims to see if this treatment can shrink tumors and help people who have run out of standard chemotherapy options.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07544589RecruitingPhase 1
Testing DISP-10 for Advanced Gastrointestinal Cancers
This early-stage trial tests a new experimental therapy called DISP-10 in patients with advanced cancers of the stomach, esophagus, or colon that have spread. The goal is to see if this treatment can help shrink tumors and how safe it is.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for colorectal cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,081 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.
