BayonneAges 18 years+ - NCT06342440Recruiting
Early detection of colon cancer and advanced polyps
This study aims to find colorectal cancer and advanced polyps (adenomas) earlier by looking at blood samples. Researchers hope a simple blood test might one day help detect colon cancer before it spreads.
Monrovia, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06342401Recruiting
Early onset colorectal cancer detection study
This study aims to improve detection of colorectal cancer in people diagnosed before age 50. It compares samples from patients with cancer to those without to find new early detection methods.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–50 - 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 - NCT06336902RecruitingPhase 1
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.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06300463RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy combinations for colorectal cancer with liver tumors
This trial tests combinations of immunotherapy drugs for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and is scheduled for surgery. The goal is to see if these treatments are safe and effective before and after the operation.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06314958Recruiting
Follow-up after colorectal cancer treatment
This study follows people who have finished treatment for stage II (high-risk) or stage III colorectal cancer and are now cancer-free. Researchers want to learn more about which factors might predict if the cancer will come back, so they can better personalize follow-up care.
Monrovia, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06008054RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for advanced gastrointestinal cancers
This trial tests two new drugs (BL-B01D1 and SI-B003) alone or with a standard immunotherapy for advanced gastrointestinal cancers. The goal is to see if these combinations shrink tumors and are safe.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06242470RecruitingPhase 1
Study of MGC026 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called MGC026 that targets a protein called B7-H3 on cancer cells, aiming to shrink or slow different advanced solid tumors. It is an early-phase study to find the right dose and check safety.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06227728Recruiting
Predicting immunotherapy response in advanced cancer
This study uses blood and tumor samples to find markers that predict whether immunotherapy will work for people with stage IV cancer. The goal is to better match treatments to patients.

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.
