Recruiting studies
- NCT07069556Recruiting
ColoSense stool test study before colonoscopy
This study is testing a new stool-based screening test for colorectal cancer. You provide a stool sample before having a colonoscopy, and researchers compare the test results with what the colonoscopy finds.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05727163RecruitingPhase 2
Liver-directed chemotherapy versus standard chemotherapy for RAS-mutated CRC
This Phase 2 study tests whether delivering chemotherapy directly into the liver (with an IV medicine added, depending on the group) works better than standard chemotherapy given through a vein. It is for people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver but can’t be removed by surgery yet.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04861558RecruitingPhase 3
Warm chemotherapy placed in the abdomen to treat colon cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether heating chemotherapy and delivering it directly into the abdomen (along with standard surgery for cancer spread) works better for colon cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. It may help control the cancer after surgery, especially when the spread is mainly in the abdomen (and possibly the liver or lungs).
AhmedabadAges 18–79 - NCT07012954RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
ctDNA-guided treatment for RAS/BRAF wild-type colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—cetuximab or bevacizumab plus a chemotherapy pill (trifluridine/tipiracil)—for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that has no RAS or BRAF mutations. It's for patients whose cancer grew after first responding to cetuximab, and who have had other treatments since then.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06998745Recruiting
Anticoagulant therapy support for colorectal cancer patients with blood clots
This trial tests whether a medication therapy management (MTM) model helps make blood thinner treatment safer and more effective for colorectal cancer patients who have also developed dangerous blood clots. It aims to improve how well patients stick to their medication and reduce complications.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–100 - NCT06997497RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Calderasib with other drugs for colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called Calderasib combined with targeted therapy or chemotherapy for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has a specific genetic change (KRAS G12C mutation). It may be an option for those who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07001085Recruiting
Blood test to monitor liver cancer after surgery
This study uses a simple blood test to monitor tiny pieces of tumor DNA (ctDNA) in people with colorectal cancer that spread to the liver or with liver cancer (HCC), before and after liver surgery or transplant. It aims to help doctors detect cancer return earlier and guide treatment.
Warsaw, Masovian VoivodeshipAges 18–75 - NCT06922383RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of arfolitixorin in advanced colorectal cancer
This study tests a new drug called arfolitixorin given with standard chemotherapy (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) plus a targeted therapy for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread. It may help the chemotherapy work better.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06920680Recruiting
A registry for colonoscopy reports and videos
This study is a registry that collects information and videos from colonoscopy procedures. It helps doctors learn more about these tests and improve care for patients like you.
Stuttgart, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT06898996Recruiting
Stool test study for Lynch syndrome colon screening
This trial tests a new stool-based test (FIT) to see if it can help find colon cancer early in people with Lynch syndrome. You will collect stool samples at home and complete surveys before your regular colonoscopy.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 20–80 - NCT05310643RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab and ipilimumab for bowel cancer resistant to anti-PD1
This Phase 2 study tests two immunotherapy medicines (nivolumab and ipilimumab) in people with metastatic colorectal cancer that has not responded to anti-PD1 treatment. It focuses on tumors with mismatch repair problems (dMMR) and/or high microsatellite instability (MSI).
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT05789433Recruiting
Aerobic exercise study after colon or rectal cancer surgery
This trial studies whether a supervised aerobic exercise program helps muscles “remodel” (change/strengthen) after colon or rectal cancer treatment. It may help people improve physical function during recovery, but you can only join if it’s safe for you and you can follow the study plan.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06833866RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a natural compound with chemo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial combines a natural substance called hydroxytyrosol (HT) with standard chemotherapy (5-FU and possibly other drugs) for people with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer that hasn't been treated yet. The goal is to see if adding HT makes the treatment work better.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06815406Recruiting
Removing large colon polyps: one piece vs. multiple pieces
This trial compares two ways to remove large, flat polyps (granular type) from the colon or rectum: one that removes the polyp in one piece (endoscopic submucosal dissection) and one that removes it in pieces (endoscopic mucosal resection). The goal is to see which method has a lower chance of the polyp coming back.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06819280Recruiting
Immune cells for advanced colorectal cancer after first treatment
This trial tests whether your own immune cells, called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), can be grown in a lab and given back to you to fight advanced colorectal cancer. It is for people whose cancer has continued to grow after their first round of chemotherapy.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06808685Recruiting
Study of Elovie for advanced colorectal cancer
This study looks at how well a biosimilar version of bevacizumab (Elovie) works in people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread and cannot be surgically removed. It aims to see if Elovie is safe and effective when used as the first treatment for this cancer.
Vitória, Espírito SantoAges 18 years+ - NCT06791512RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo Plus Targeted Therapy With or Without Immunotherapy for Colorectal Cancer
This trial compares a standard chemotherapy combination (mFOLFOX6) plus a targeted drug (bevacizumab) with or without an immunotherapy (PD-1 antibody) for locally advanced colorectal cancer. It aims to see if adding the immunotherapy improves outcomes for patients with a specific tumor type (pMMR/MSS).
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT05787197Recruiting
Blood test to guide treatment after colon cancer liver surgery
This trial studies a blood test (called ctDNA) in people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver and is being removed with curative surgery. The goal is to see how the blood test can help with planning and improving treatment after surgery.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT06763432Recruiting

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.
