Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT04907643Recruiting
Virtual reality program to reduce stomach-cancer pain
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) can improve pain and other day-to-day symptoms in people with certain gastrointestinal cancers. You’d use VR for pain relief while researchers measure how you’re feeling.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT07011576RecruitingPhase 2
Fruquintinib plus FOLFIRI for second-line metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, fruquintinib and FOLFIRI chemotherapy, as a second treatment option for people with metastatic colorectal cancer. It is designed for patients who have already received one prior treatment containing oxaliplatin, fluoropyrimidine, and bevacizumab.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06051695RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T cell therapy for mesothelin-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR T-cells) designed to target cancer cells that have a protein called mesothelin but have lost a marker that lets them hide from the immune system. It's for people with advanced solid tumors who have already tried standard treatments.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06682793RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of A2B395 therapy for solid tumors with EGFR and HLA loss
This trial tests a new cell therapy called A2B395 for cancers that have EGFR, a protein on the cell surface, and have lost a specific marker called HLA-A*02. The therapy uses specially engineered immune cells to target and kill these cancer cells. This may help patients with colorectal, lung, head and neck, breast, kidney, or other solid tumors that are no longer responding to standard treatments.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04527861Recruiting
Minimally invasive single-incision surgery for colon cancer
This trial compares a single-incision laparoscopic operation versus the usual laparoscopic operation for colorectal (colon or “high rectum”) cancer. It looks at cancer outcomes and may help determine which approach is safer and works better for the right patients.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18–85 - NCT07427901Recruiting
Quality of life in colorectal cancer survivors
This study looks at how colorectal cancer and its treatment affect your daily life and well-being. It aims to help doctors better support patients like you during and after treatment.
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT07494201Recruiting
MIMICC study for people with colorectal cancer
This trial is studying patients with colorectal cancer who are scheduled for surgery. Researchers want to learn more about the cancer to improve future treatments.
Candiolo, Torino (TO)Ages 18–75 - NCT07280143Recruiting
MASLD risk in breast or colorectal cancer survivors
This study looks at whether breast or colorectal cancer survivors are more likely to develop a liver condition called MASLD (fatty liver disease not caused by alcohol). It uses blood tests, imaging, and possibly an MRI to check liver health.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06135571Recruiting
Lymph node patterns in left colon and rectal cancer
This study looks at how colon and rectal cancer on the left side spreads to nearby lymph nodes (No.253). It is for people who have had laparoscopic surgery and whose cancer is still only in the colon or rectum. The goal is to better understand these patterns to help guide future treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for colorectal (colon or rectal) cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 901 recruiting colorectal (colon or rectal) 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 (colon or rectal) 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 (colon or rectal) 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.
