Blood Pressure vs. Heart Output Monitoring During Colon Surgery
This trial compares two ways doctors monitor your body's circulation during colorectal surgery. One method tracks blood pressure; the other tracks how much blood your heart pumps. Researchers want to see which approach leads to better outcomes and fewer complications.
Ankara, Yenimahalle\AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT07262619RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of EIK1005 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called EIK1005, either alone or combined with another drug (pembrolizumab), for people with advanced solid tumors, especially those with MSI-H or dMMR cancers (tumors that have trouble repairing their DNA). The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Morristown, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05630794RecruitingPhase 1
Test ONC201 to prevent colorectal polyp return in high-risk people
This Phase 1 study tests whether ONC201 is safe and may help prevent colorectal polyps (adenomas) from coming back. You’d also undergo planned colon/rectum camera exams to check for new or changing polyps.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07412613RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy Before and After Surgery for MSI-H Colon Cancer

Immunotherapy before surgery for certain colorectal cancers
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab) given before surgery for people with stage II or III colorectal cancer that has a specific DNA repair problem (dMMR/MSI-High). The drug aims to shrink the tumor and improve treatment outcomes.
Beijing, UndefinedAges 18 years+ - NCT05863195RecruitingPhase 3
Pump chemotherapy plus standard chemo for liver-only colorectal spread

Test apheresis for CAR T manufacturing in HLA-A2 solid tumors
This trial studies how a process called apheresis is used to make CAR T cells for people with certain solid tumors. It is designed for tumors that have lost a specific immune marker (HLA-A*02), which may affect how well CAR T therapies work.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07646106RecruitingPhase 1
Testing THE-0504 in Advanced Solid Tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests a new drug called THE-0504 in patients with advanced solid tumors (like lung, colon, pancreas, stomach, or breast cancer) that have not responded to standard treatments. The study aims to find the right dose and understand how well and safely the drug works.
Rome, LazioAges 18 years+ - NCT07595874RecruitingPhase 2
New Immunotherapy Drugs Before Surgery for Advanced Colorectal Cancer
This trial tests two immunotherapy drugs (botensilimab and balstilimab) given before surgery to treat advanced colorectal cancer that can be removed. The goal is to help the immune system fight cancer cells and improve outcomes after surgery.
Goodyear, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07376707RecruitingPhase 1
Study of TGI-5 alone or with nivolumab for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called TGI-5, either by itself or combined with another drug (nivolumab), for people with advanced cancer that hasn't responded to standard treatments. It's looking for patients with certain types of solid tumors, especially colorectal, melanoma, lung, or others that have stopped responding to therapy.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06698146Recruiting
Liver transplant for colorectal cancer that spread to the liver
This trial tests a special approach for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver: first removing the liver tumor, then doing a partial liver transplant, and later removing more liver tissue. The goal is to see if this can help people who otherwise have limited options.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05248581Recruiting
Living donor liver transplant for unresectable colon cancer spread
This trial looks at using a living donor liver transplant for people whose colon or rectal cancer has spread to the liver in a way that can’t be removed with standard surgery. It may help if you might otherwise have limited options because your liver surgery would be too risky.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03488953Recruiting
Two-step liver surgery using a living donor transplant
This study looks at a specialized liver transplant approach using a living donor, for people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed by standard surgery. It’s meant for cases where chemotherapy has helped stop or shrink the tumors, to improve the chance of successful treatment.

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.
