Comparing early vs late onset colorectal cancer
This study compares patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer at a younger age (under 50) to those diagnosed later in life. By looking at tissue samples and patient surveys, researchers hope to understand differences in the disease and improve care for all ages.
Rozzano, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06331988Recruiting
Study of colon cancer, bacteria, and the immune system
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut, your immune system, and colon cancer interact. It aims to understand these connections to improve future treatments.
MilanAges 18–75 - NCT06333392Recruiting
Underwater colonoscopy for better cancer screening
This trial tests if a new type of colonoscopy called total underwater colonoscopy (TUC) is better at finding polyps and cancer during routine screening. If you had a positive FIT stool test and are scheduled for a follow-up colonoscopy, you may be able to join.
DrammenAges 55–60 - NCT06337084RecruitingPhase 1
Imaging test for solid tumors using MNPR-101-DFO*-89Zr
This study tests whether a new imaging agent, MNPR-101-DFO*-89Zr, can find solid tumors and measure their uPAR levels. It might help doctors better understand your cancer and guide future treatment decisions.

Immunotherapy plus fasting diet and vitamin C for KRAS-mutated colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (botensilimab and balstilimab) plus a fasting-mimicking diet and high-dose vitamin C for people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer (KRAS-mutated). It aims to see if this approach can help when standard treatments have stopped working.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,061 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.
