Predicting colorectal adenoma recurrence using combined medicine approach
This study helps predict which patients with colorectal adenomas (pre-cancerous growths) are at higher risk of them coming back or turning into cancer. Researchers will use both Western medical tests and Traditional Chinese Medicine patterns to create a prediction tool that may guide your follow-up care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07148128RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing the safety of WEF-001 for KRAS-mutant cancers
This trial studies a new drug called WEF-001 for people with advanced cancers that have a KRAS mutation. It aims to see if the drug is safe and shrinks tumors when used alone.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07151040RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing TH9619 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called TH9619 for people with advanced cancers of the colon, head and neck, lung, or stomach. It aims to see if the drug is safe and works against tumors that have already been treated with chemotherapy.
VillejuifAges 18 years+ - NCT07703709Recruiting
Colorectal cancer treatment study in real-world care
This study looks at how well treatments work for colorectal cancer in everyday medical practice. It may help doctors understand which therapies are most effective for people like you.
TaichungAges 20 years+ - NCT07046585Recruiting
Blood test for colon cancer screening
This trial tests a new blood test to screen for colorectal cancer in people at average risk. You would give a blood sample before your scheduled colonoscopy, and the results will be compared to the colonoscopy findings.
Austin, TexasAges 40 years+ - NCT07058012RecruitingPhase 2
Testing immunotherapy for ctDNA-positive colorectal cancer after treatment
This trial is for people with colorectal cancer whose ctDNA blood test is still positive after surgery and chemotherapy. It tests two immunotherapy drugs (cemiplimab alone or with fianlimab) to see if they can eliminate the remaining cancer cells and prevent the cancer from coming back.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07168876Recruiting
A blood test to screen for colon cancer
This trial studies a new blood test that looks for specific markers of colon cancer. If it works well, it could offer an easier way to screen for the disease without a colonoscopy.
Mendoza, Mendoza ProvinceAges 45–75 - NCT07506005Recruiting
Stapler placement study for colorectal surgery
This trial tests if the placement of the stapler spike during colorectal surgery affects bleeding where the bowel is joined. It may help guide safer stapling techniques.

- 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.
