Recruiting studies
- NCT06226857RecruitingPhase 3
Anti-EGFR for left-sided, RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer

This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (cetuximab beta and fruquintinib) with or without an immunotherapy drug for people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer that has not been treated before. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for those whose tumors have certain genetic markers (RAS and BRAF wild type).
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 10–85 - NCT06621563RecruitingPhase 1
Study of HS-20117 Combination Therapy for Advanced Solid Tumors

TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT07198581Recruiting
Using AI to manage chemotherapy side effects
This trial tests if an AI-powered system can help monitor and manage side effects during chemotherapy for breast or colorectal cancer. If you are starting chemotherapy and can report your symptoms, this study may offer extra support.
IncheonAges 18 years+ - NCT06946615RecruitingPhase 1
Claudin18.2 cell therapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This study tests a new treatment using your own immune cells (called CAR-T and CAR-DC) that are engineered to attack cancer cells with a specific protein (Claudin18.2). It is for people with advanced colorectal cancer who have exhausted standard treatments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT07169734RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
ALE.P03 for advanced CLDN1-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, ALE.P03, for people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have a certain protein (CLDN1). The drug is given alone (monotherapy) to see if it can shrink tumors or slow their growth.

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.
