BBO-11818 for KRAS-mutated cancers
This trial tests a new oral drug (BBO-11818) for people with solid tumors that have a specific KRAS mutation. It's for those whose cancer has spread or cannot be removed by surgery and who have not had other cancers recently.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06919068Recruiting
Colon camera capsule for gut bacteria in the blood
This trial tests whether a camera capsule can detect problems in the large intestine when certain gut bacteria are found in the blood. If you have one of these bacteria and are stable enough for the exam, it might help identify the source of the infection.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT06904677Recruiting
Urine test to predict colorectal cancer treatment response
This study uses a special urine test to see if it can predict how well colorectal cancer responds to treatment. If you are about to start treatment before surgery, you may be able to join by giving urine samples before and during therapy.

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.
