Drug combo for advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't spread to the liver
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (anlotinib and sintilimab) as a first treatment for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread to places other than the liver, who do not want chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this targeted therapy can help control the cancer.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06282445RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for first-line metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug adebrelimab to standard chemotherapy plus bevacizumab can help people with a specific type of metastatic colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It is for patients whose tumors are microsatellite stable (MSS) or have normal mismatch repair (pMMR).
Jinhua, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06830018Recruiting
New megestrol for advanced stomach or colon cancer with fatigue
This study tests a new form of megestrol (a medicine that can boost appetite and energy) for people with advanced stomach or colorectal cancer who also have fatigue and poor appetite. It is given as a first treatment, meaning you haven't had chemotherapy yet for your advanced cancer.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT07393906Recruiting
Eat right, screen right for colorectal cancer prevention
This study looks at how healthy eating and regular screening can help prevent colorectal cancer. You may join if you are an adult who can use a computer or mobile device.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07389265RecruitingPhase 3
Continuing cetuximab after first treatment stops working for metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests if continuing the targeted therapy cetuximab after initial treatment stops working can help people with advanced colorectal cancer. Participants have a specific gene profile (RAS and BRAF normal) and their cancer responds well at first.
AnconaAges 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 - NCT07391618RecruitingPhase 2
First treatment for advanced colorectal cancer with combo chemo
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs, levozolinate and 5-FU, given together as a first treatment for advanced colorectal cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It aims to see if giving them at the same time works better for patients who have never received treatment for this stage of cancer.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06225843RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new drug combo before liver surgery for colorectal cancer
This trial is for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It tests whether adding a new drug (sotevtamab) to standard chemotherapy (FOLFOX) before surgery can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT07381764RecruitingPhase 2
Rechallenge with targeted drugs for certain colorectal cancers
This study tests a new approach for people with a specific type of metastatic colorectal cancer that has stopped responding to initial treatments. It compares reusing a targeted drug combination (irinotecan plus cetuximab) versus a different chemotherapy plus a targeted drug (trifluridine/tipiracil plus bevacizumab) to see which works better for patients whose tumors have a certain genetic profile.
AlessandriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07380867Enrolling by invitation
New marker test for marking colon tumors before surgery
