Recruiting studies
- NCT06032104Recruiting
Bean supplement study for colon cancer screening patients

Study of fruquintinib plus raltitrexed for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests two drugs, fruquintinib and raltitrexed, for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that has stopped responding to or is no longer tolerable after standard treatments like fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer.

MRI-guided radiation for liver tumors from colorectal cancer
This trial tests a single, high-dose radiation treatment (SBRT) guided by MRI for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. The goal is to see if this precise, one-time treatment can effectively control liver tumors while protecting nearby organs.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06134388RecruitingPhase 3

This trial tests whether adding the drug sulfasalazine to standard chemotherapy can help people with metastatic colorectal cancer live longer. It is for patients whose cancer has spread and who are healthy enough for chemotherapy.
Tanta, El-Gharbia GovernorateAges 18–65 - 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.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06136949Recruiting
STARD3 study for colorectal cancer patients
This study looks at a marker called STARD3 in colorectal cancer to understand its role and potential for targeted treatment. It may help find new ways to treat the disease.
Aviano, PordenoneAges 18 years+ - NCT06148402RecruitingPhase 2
A new combination therapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of three drugs (fruquintinib, camrelizumab, and capecitabine) for people with colorectal cancer that has spread or cannot be removed and has stopped responding to a standard first chemotherapy. It is for those whose cancer progressed after a specific first treatment called FOLFOXIRI.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06167967Recruiting
Blood test for chemotherapy guidance in stage 3 colorectal cancer
This study uses a blood test to check for tumor DNA after surgery, which may help doctors decide if you need additional chemotherapy. It is for people with stage 3 colorectal cancer that is removed by surgery.
Hanzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06176885RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo and targeted therapy for MSS colorectal cancer
This trial tests adding immunotherapy to standard chemotherapy and targeted therapy for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that is MSS (microsatellite stable) and cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to see if this combination helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Jinhua, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06184698RecruitingPhase 2
Liposomal irinotecan, chemotherapy, and bevacizumab for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of liposomal irinotecan, two chemotherapy drugs (leucovorin and 5-fluorouracil), and bevacizumab as a second-line treatment for people with colorectal cancer that has spread and cannot be removed by surgery.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT06191120Recruiting
FAPI PET scan for aggressive colorectal cancer liver metastases
This trial uses a special PET scan (FAPI) to detect a specific, more aggressive type of colorectal cancer (CMS4) in people who have liver tumors that can be surgically removed. The goal is to see if the scan can help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Utrecht, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06193356Recruiting
Can endoscopists learn to spot scar after polyp removal?
This study tests whether endoscopists can learn to see scarring and find any remaining tissue after polyp removal. It may help improve how doctors check for cancer coming back.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT06205836RecruitingPhase 2
Cemiplimab with or without Fianlimab for MSI-H Colorectal Cancer in Older Patients
This trial tests a new immunotherapy combination for older patients with a specific type of colorectal cancer that has not been treated before. The goal is to see if these drugs can help the immune system fight the cancer without needing surgery or standard chemotherapy.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06207656RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy for BRAF V600E mutated colorectal cancer
This trial tests if combining three targeted drugs (cetuximab, encorafenib, and binimetinib) before surgery can shrink or control cancer in people with a specific BRAF V600E mutation and a stable (MSS) tumor. It focuses on colorectal cancer that is either already able to be removed or could become removable with treatment.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06208397Recruiting
MRI study to understand liver tumor growth patterns
This trial uses MRI scans to study how colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver grows. It may help doctors choose better treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for colorectal?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,206 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.
