Immunotherapy plus chemo before surgery for RAS-mutated colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) plus targeted therapy (bevacizumab) and chemotherapy (CapeOX) given before surgery for a specific type of locally advanced colorectal cancer.

Dairy products study for people at high risk of colon cancer
This trial studies whether specific dairy products (UNICLA-A2) can help lower the risk of future colon problems in people considered high risk for colorectal cancer. You may be asked to keep using dairy consistently and undergo colon checks as part of usual follow-up.
Zaragoza, ZaragozaAges 18–80 - NCT06791408Recruiting
AI-assisted endocytoscopy for small colorectal polyps
This trial uses artificial intelligence to help doctors look at small growths in the colon or rectum. It aims to see if the AI can accurately tell what they are while you are still undergoing the procedure.
Changchun, JilinAges Any age - NCT06883422Recruiting
Pre-surgery immune drink for colorectal surgery recovery
This trial tests whether taking a special immune-boosting drink before and after colorectal surgery helps patients recover better. It compares this 'immunonutrition' to standard care.
Mexico City, TlalpanAges 18 years+ - NCT07312786Recruiting
Virtual app for breast and colorectal cancer survivors
This study tests if a virtual app can help people who have finished treatment for breast or colorectal cancer feel supported and stay healthy. It looks at whether using the app is easy and helpful for cancer survivors.
Saint John, New BrunswickAges 18 years+ - NCT07392567Recruiting
AI predicts liver spread in colorectal cancer
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) model can predict if colon or rectal cancer will spread to the liver. You will have a CT scan before surgery, and the AI will analyze the scan to see if it can forecast future liver metastasis.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06525428RecruitingPhase 2
Adding radiation and immunotherapy to standard care for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial is testing a combination of standard chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab) for people with metastatic colorectal cancer. It aims to see if adding radiation therapy and immunotherapy can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07280949Recruiting
Pain relief study for laparoscopic colon surgery
This study tests a new combination of pain blocks for people having laparoscopic (keyhole) colon or rectal surgery. The goal is to see if adding a back muscle block to the standard abdominal wall block provides better pain relief.
Cairo, GovernorateAges 18–90 - 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+ - NCT07272928Recruiting
Comparing surgery order for liver spread from colon cancer
This trial looks at whether removing the colon tumor or the liver tumors first affects recovery in patients having both removed at the same time. It helps doctors decide the best surgical approach.
Alessandria, PiedmontAges 18 years+ - NCT05759728RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
LGR5-targeted CAR-T for metastatic colorectal cancer
This early-phase study tests an autologous CAR-T cell treatment that is designed to recognize LGR5 on colorectal cancer cells. It aims to shrink metastatic colorectal cancer that has already been treated with up to two prior standard chemotherapy regimens.
Adelaide, South AustraliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06936488Enrolling by invitation
Study of Ivonescimab with TAS-102 for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs – ivonescimab (a type of immunotherapy) and TAS-102 (a chemotherapy) – for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to at least two prior chemotherapies. The goal is to see if this new combo can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Huai'an, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06540326RecruitingPhase 2
Second-line therapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy with either bevacizumab or cetuximab as a second-line treatment for advanced colorectal cancer. It aims to find which option works better for patients whose first treatment failed.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07044908RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New drug combo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called TQB2922 combined with TAS-102, with or without bevacizumab, for people whose advanced colorectal cancer has a normal RAS and BRAF gene and has not responded to standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can slow or stop cancer growth.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT06578065Recruiting
Comparing powered vs. manual staplers for colon surgery
This trial tests if a new powered circular stapler reduces complications compared to a manual stapler when connecting the colon after left-sided colon or rectal surgery. It may help improve healing and outcomes.
Sabadell, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07607873Recruiting
Transplant vs surgery after chemo for liver-only colorectal cancer
This trial compares liver transplant versus liver surgery for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed initially. You would first receive chemotherapy to shrink the tumors, and if they become removable, you may be randomly assigned to have a liver transplant or standard liver surgery.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07441369Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Abemaciclib with chemotherapy for advanced colorectal liver metastases
This trial tests combining the targeted drug abemaciclib with standard chemotherapy (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) for people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver and cannot be removed surgically. It may be an option if you've already tried two or three prior treatments without success.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06955767Recruiting
Looking for a new blood test to find colorectal cancer early
This trial is testing if a protein called MMP-14 in small blood particles (exosomes) can help detect colorectal cancer. If you are having a colonoscopy because of a positive stool test, you may be able to join and help researchers learn more about this possible new marker.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT06881537RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo and targeted therapy before surgery for recurrent colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (CapeOX), a targeted drug (bevacizumab), and an immunotherapy (anti-PD1) given before surgery for colorectal cancer that has come back locally (in the same area). The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve surgical outcomes.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06008119RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted pill combination for BRAF-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer
This study tests a combination of two targeted pills (tunlametinib and vemurafenib) for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that has a specific gene change (BRAF V600E) and whose cancer has grown after at least one prior treatment. The goal is to see if this drug combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for colorectal?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,210 recruiting colorectal 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 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 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.
