Recruiting studies
- NCT02885753RecruitingPhase 3
Liver-only metastatic colon cancer trial using targeted chemo
This Phase 3 trial tests different ways to deliver chemotherapy for colon cancer that has spread only to the liver (with limited possible tiny lung spots). It looks at whether the treatment plan improves outcomes compared with another chemotherapy approach, using oxaliplatin and LV5FU2 (with or without irinotecan) plus an added targeted medicine.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT05314400Recruiting
MRI with contrast for metastatic colon cancer liver lesions
This trial studies an MRI technique using a contrast dye (gadopetate/gadolinium) to better look at liver lesions that may be colon cancer spread. It may help doctors more accurately assess which liver tumors are present and guide next steps.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06287814Recruiting
Blood test to detect leftover cancer DNA in colorectal cancer patients
This study uses a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) to look for tiny bits of tumor DNA remaining after colorectal cancer surgery. It aims to see if the test can help predict whether the cancer will come back, especially in people with stage III cancer who will receive chemotherapy.
Montpellier, HéraultAges 18 years+ - NCT06117241Recruiting
Reducing metabolic risk in couples after colon polyp diagnosis
This study tests a program to improve metabolic health in couples where one person had colon polyps. You and your partner may join if you both are overweight or obese, live together, and share meals.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 9–55 - NCT04999761RecruitingPhase 1
Study testing new drug combinations for advanced cancers
This study tests new drug combinations for people with various advanced cancers that have progressed after standard treatment, or in some cases, as a first treatment. It aims to see if these combinations are safe and effective. The study is divided into groups based on cancer type and treatment history, so not everyone will qualify for every group.
AichiAges 18 years+ - NCT05706129RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing targeted imaging and therapy for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase study tests two radioactive medicines that first help doctors see tumors and, in some parts of the study, treat them. It may help people with advanced, hard-to-remove cancers that have a specific tumor marker (CA IX).
MelbourneAges 18 years+ - NCT06885424Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up for A2 Bio gene therapy patients
This study follows up with people who previously received a gene therapy product from A2 Biotherapeutics in an earlier trial. The goal is to monitor their health over time and check for any long-term effects.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05411718RecruitingPhase 2
Aspirin or naproxen to prevent cancer in Lynch syndrome
This trial tests whether daily aspirin or naproxen can “intercept” (stop) cancer from starting or coming back in people with Lynch syndrome who are currently cancer-free. Participants are randomly assigned to one of the two drugs, and neither the participant nor the team knows which one you’re taking.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04510129Recruiting
Cancer biospecimen collection study for immunotherapy patients
This study collects samples (like tissue biopsies and imaging information) from people with certain cancers who are starting anti–PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. It helps researchers gather material to study how these treatments work.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07043387Recruiting
Simplified radioembolization for liver cancer and bile duct cancer
This trial tests a streamlined way to deliver radioactive beads (radioembolization) directly to liver tumors in people with metastatic liver cancer or bile duct cancer. It aims to make treatment simpler and safer while still effectively targeting tumors.
Goyang-siAges 19 years+ - NCT02246634Recruiting
MRI screening to find liver metastases in bowel cancer
This study checks whether a special MRI scan (DW-MRI) can spot liver metastases early in people with high-risk colorectal cancer. Finding metastases sooner may help doctors choose the right treatment path.
Macclesfield, CheshireAges 16 years+ - NCT07553572Recruiting
Smartphone app to track cancer symptoms during treatment
This study tests a smartphone application designed to help you monitor and manage side effects and symptoms while you're receiving chemotherapy or other systemic treatment for breast cancer, colorectal cancer, or lymphoma. The app may help your doctors catch problems early and support you throughout your treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07417488RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine therapy for advanced colorectal and small bowel cancer
This trial tests a vaccine therapy for people with advanced colorectal or small bowel cancer that has spread or can't be removed. The vaccine targets a protein found on cancer cells to help your immune system fight the cancer.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07291180Recruiting
Personalized heated chemo for advanced appendix or colon cancer
This study tests a personalized way to deliver heated chemotherapy directly into the belly during surgery for advanced appendix or colorectal cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. The goal is to see if tailoring the chemo drugs to your tumor can improve outcomes.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–81 - NCT06750094RecruitingPhase 3
Study of amivantamab plus FOLFIRI in colorectal cancer
This trial tests adding amivantamab to standard FOLFIRI chemotherapy for people with certain types of colorectal cancer that have already been treated once. It aims to see if this combination works better than another common treatment (cetuximab or bevacizumab plus FOLFIRI).
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06218914RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new treatment for KRAS G12D cancers
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy (called TCR-T) that targets a specific genetic change (KRAS G12D) in advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It may be an option if your cancer has this mutation and you have a specific tissue type (HLA).
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05398380Recruiting
Liver transplant for colorectal liver cancer that can’t be removed
This trial studies liver transplantation for certain people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to improve outcomes for carefully selected patients whose cancer is controlled on chemotherapy and who meet specific safety and scan requirements.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18–70 - NCT05014399Recruiting
Study memory changes during chemotherapy for colorectal cancer
This study looks at cognitive (thinking and memory) changes in people with colorectal cancer who start certain chemotherapy drugs. It aims to understand how treatment affects the brain and may guide better monitoring or support during care.
Fort Wayne, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07098182Recruiting
Preserving blood supply during colon or rectal surgery
This trial tests a technique during colon or rectal surgery to preserve a specific blood vessel (the left colic artery) that helps keep the remaining colon healthy. It is for people with left colon, rectal, or ovarian cancer who are scheduled for surgery.
Montpellier, HeraultAges 18 years+ - NCT07020117RecruitingPhase 1
Study of AKY-1189 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new radioactive drug, AKY-1189, for people with solid tumors that have spread or cannot be removed. It may help if other treatments have stopped working.

Treatment for new liver spread from colon cancer recurrence
This Phase 3 trial studies a treatment approach for people whose colorectal cancer has come back in the liver within 12 months and can be treated with local procedures. It aims to see whether the study treatment can improve outcomes compared with standard care for people with a limited number of liver tumors.

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.
