Recruiting studies
- NCT06988852RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo infusion into liver for colorectal cancer spread
This trial tests a strong chemotherapy combination given directly into the liver's blood supply (called HAIC) for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed with surgery yet. The goal is to shrink the liver tumors enough so they can be surgically removed.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT07027605Recruiting
Testing a computer tool for colorectal liver metastasis prognosis
This trial is testing a computer program that helps doctors predict outcomes for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It is for patients who have had surgery to remove both the colon and liver tumors.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07385521Recruiting
AI to predict cancer return after liver surgery
This trial uses artificial intelligence to predict whether colorectal cancer that spread to the liver will come back after surgery. It may help doctors better understand your risk and plan follow-up care.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT02886104Recruiting
Surgery versus local ablation for certain liver metastases
This trial compares two ways to treat colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver: removing liver tumors with surgery versus destroying them in place with local ablation. It may help doctors learn which approach works best for people whose disease can be fully treated and who have enough healthy liver left.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT07399236Recruiting
AI prediction of liver spread in colorectal cancer
This study looks at whether an AI tool can predict if colorectal cancer will spread to the liver. The researchers will review past medical records of patients who had surgery to remove their cancer and had no signs of spread at that time.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05861505RecruitingPhase 3
Treatment for new liver spread from colon cancer recurrence
This Phase 3 trial studies a treatment approach for people whose colorectal cancer has come back in the liver within 12 months and can be treated with local procedures. It aims to see whether the study treatment can improve outcomes compared with standard care for people with a limited number of liver tumors.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06185556RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New treatments for liver tumors near blood vessels or bile ducts
This trial tests two procedures—irreversible electroporation and stereotactic body radiotherapy—for people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver (1–3 tumors near major blood vessels or bile ducts) and can't be surgically removed or treated with heat. The goal is to see if these approaches can safely destroy those hard-to-reach tumors.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06287723Recruiting
Blood test for cancer DNA after liver surgery in colorectal cancer
This study uses a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) to look for tiny bits of cancer DNA after surgery for colorectal cancer that spread to the liver. It aims to see if this test can find cancer earlier than standard scans, which may help guide future treatment decisions.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT06630624RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
IP-001 with ablation for colorectal liver metastases
This trial tests whether adding the drug IP-001 to tumor ablation (microwave or irreversible electroporation) helps control colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to find the best dose and see how the immune system responds.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06698146Recruiting
Liver transplant for colorectal cancer that spread to the liver
This trial tests a special approach for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver: first removing the liver tumor, then doing a partial liver transplant, and later removing more liver tissue. The goal is to see if this can help people who otherwise have limited options.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07224724Recruiting
Exosome liquid biopsy for colorectal cancer spread
This study uses a blood test to detect if colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver has also spread to other parts of the body. It may help doctors better understand how the cancer is moving and guide treatment decisions.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07044362Recruiting
Histotripsy plus chemo vs. chemo alone for advanced liver-only colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding histotripsy—a non-invasive ultrasound treatment that destroys liver tumors—to standard chemotherapy improves outcomes for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It may be an option if your cancer is mainly in the liver and you are starting or have recently had chemotherapy.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07310537Recruiting
Liquid biopsy trial for colorectal cancer liver metastases
This study tests whether a simple blood sample from your finger can detect tumor DNA as well as a standard blood draw. It is designed for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and hasn't responded to treatment.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 21 years+ - NCT06111105Recruiting
Comparing blood tests to guide colon cancer treatment
This study compares different blood tests to find the best way to detect tiny bits of cancer DNA after surgery for stage III colorectal cancer. It aims to help doctors decide if additional chemotherapy is needed to prevent the cancer from coming back.
Graz, StyriaAges 18 years+ - NCT04912765RecruitingPhase 2
New immune vaccine plus nivolumab for liver cancer
This trial studies whether an individualized “neoantigen” cancer vaccine given to immune cells (dendritic cells) plus nivolumab can improve outcomes in people with liver cancer and/or colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver. It focuses on tumors that can be removed with curative surgery (with or without local ablation) and on people with good enough liver and overall health.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT05884723Recruiting
Ketogenic diet before liver surgery for fatty liver
This trial tests whether a ketogenic (very low-carb) diet before liver surgery can reduce fat in the liver. It is aimed at people with colorectal liver metastases who already have fatty liver seen on scans or biopsy.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06447727Recruiting
Y-90 beads plus chemo for liver-only colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding radioactive Y-90 microspheres (tiny beads that deliver radiation directly to liver tumors) to standard chemo (FOLFIRI and bevacizumab) can help people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread only to one lobe of the liver, when the first treatment stopped working. The goal is to slow down tumor growth.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06208371RecruitingPhase 3
Local treatment vs. chemo for colorectal cancer with many liver spots
This trial tests whether treating all liver tumors with surgery, ablation, or radiation is better than continuing standard chemotherapy for people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver. It's for those whose liver tumors have been controlled by initial chemotherapy and are considered removable.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for colorectal liver metastasis (crlm)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 18 recruiting colorectal liver metastasis (crlm) 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 liver metastasis (crlm) 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 liver metastasis (crlm) 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.
