Recruiting studies
- NCT07713433Recruiting
Antibiotics versus none for pediatric colorectal surgery

Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07227636RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy for ctDNA-positive colorectal cancer after surgery
This trial tests two immunotherapy drugs, botensilimab and balstilimab, for people with colorectal cancer who have had surgery and chemotherapy but still have detectable cancer DNA in their blood. The goal is to see if these drugs can help clear the remaining cancer cells.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05321134Recruiting
Testing single-port robot surgery for colorectal conditions
This study checks how well a newer single-opening (single-port) robot works for colorectal surgery. It may help surgeons perform operations with the robotic system in carefully selected colorectal conditions.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06220045Recruiting
Comparing two meshes for closing abdominal incisions in urgent colon surgery
This trial tests two different mesh types used to close the midline incision after urgent colorectal surgery, to see which one better prevents hernias and wound infections.
GironaAges 18 years+ - NCT06276140Enrolling by invitation
Iron deficiency anemia and recovery after colorectal cancer surgery
This study looks at how iron deficiency anemia affects recovery after surgery for colorectal cancer. It may help doctors understand if treating this type of anemia before surgery improves outcomes.
KamenitzAges 18 years+ - NCT07875829Recruiting
Recovery after colorectal surgery: Robots vs laparoscopic
This study compares how quickly and how well people recover after surgery to remove part of the colon or rectum, using either a robotic or a laparoscopic (keyhole) approach. Both are minimally invasive, but this trial aims to see if one leads to a smoother and faster recovery.
Funchal, MadeiraAges 18 years+ - NCT06220058Recruiting
Preventing hernias after emergency colorectal surgery
This study compares two ways of closing the belly after emergency colorectal surgery to see which one better prevents hernias. If you need this type of surgery, you may be able to join.
Girona, CataloniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02948972Recruiting
Surgery for bowel endometriosis to improve fertility
This trial studies whether fully removing deep endometriosis from the bowel (“bowel endometriosis surgery”) can improve fertility in people trying to get pregnant through IVF. It focuses on those with infertility and ongoing pain despite usual medicines.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18–38 - 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+ - NCT07486570Recruiting
Stenting to prevent leaks after colon surgery
This trial tests if placing a small mesh tube (stent) in a major artery can prevent leaks where the colon is reconnected during surgery. It may help people who have a blockage in that artery but no symptoms from it.
Emmen, DrentheAges 40 years+ - NCT06430931Recruiting
OviTex vs synthetic graft in robotic prolapse surgery
This trial compares a biological mesh made from sheep tissue (OviTex) with a standard synthetic mesh for repairing pelvic organ prolapse during robotic surgery. It aims to see which one works better and has fewer side effects.
Amersfoort, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06926374Recruiting
Robotic surgery for gastrointestinal and urologic conditions
This trial tests a new robotic surgery system for common operations on the colon, rectum, prostate, kidney, bladder, stomach, esophagus, gallbladder, and hiatal hernia. It may offer a less invasive option for patients who need surgery for these conditions.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT06302335RecruitingPhase 3
Iodine rinse vs salt water rinse in planned colon surgery
This study compares using povidone-iodine (an iodine-based cleaner) versus saline (salt water) to rinse the surgical area during planned colon or rectal surgery. The goal is to see which helps prevent infections at the surgery site after the operation.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT06386276Recruiting
Surgery for severe endometriosis of the bowel
This study tests surgery to remove deep endometriosis nodules that have grown into the wall of the rectum or sigmoid colon. It focuses on women with this specific type of endometriosis to see if surgery can improve symptoms.
Avellino, CampaniaAges 18–55 - NCT06756672Recruiting
Helping with recovery in laparoscopic colorectal surgery
This study looks at how a system called HPI (a way to track your body's response during surgery) might help people recover better after laparoscopic colorectal surgery. It is for people having this planned surgery who do not have serious heart or lung problems.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07346066RecruitingPhase 3
A trial of IS-001 injection for robotic colorectal surgery
This trial tests an injection called IS-001 during robotic-assisted colorectal surgery. It may help surgeons see the ureters more clearly, which could reduce the risk of injury.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 16–75 - NCT06816407RecruitingPhase 3
Prucalopride for bowel recovery after colorectal surgery
This trial tests if different doses of prucalopride, a medicine that helps the bowels move, can speed up gut function recovery after planned (not emergency) colorectal surgery.
CairoAges 18–75 - NCT06935708RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing morphine to epidural pain relief for colon surgery
This study compares two pain relief methods—morphine given through a spinal needle versus pain medicine delivered through a tiny tube in the back—after colorectal cancer surgery. It aims to see which approach works better for controlling pain.
SplitAges 18–80 - NCT07130656Recruiting
AI for detecting deep infections after planned colorectal surgery
This trial is testing an AI system to help catch deep infections after planned colorectal surgery. If you had a planned operation on your colon or rectum without a stoma or an active infection at that time, you may be eligible.
Granollers, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07129512Recruiting
Ultrasound vs clips to control bleeding in colon cancer surgery

SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT06996561RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
How your genes affect pain relief after surgery
This study looks at how your genes might affect pain relief from a medication called nalbuphine after abdominal or pelvic surgery. It aims to personalize pain management based on your genetic makeup.

- How do I know if I qualify for a colorectal surgery 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 surgery 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.
