Recruiting studies
- NCT06961149Recruiting
Comparing light vs dye spray for colon polyp detection
This study compares two methods used during colonoscopy to help find polyps in the colon. It tests whether a special light technique (linked-color imaging) or a dye spray (indigo carmine) works better for spotting adenomas, which are growths that can turn into cancer. If you are at higher risk for colorectal adenomas, this trial may help improve detection.

Fruquintinib plus special radio waves for advanced colon cancer
This trial tests whether combining fruquintinib (a pill) with low-level radio waves can help people whose metastatic colorectal cancer has stopped responding to or is intolerant of standard treatments. It’s for those who have tried certain chemotherapies and anti-VEGF therapy.
Bay City, MichiganAges 22 years+ - NCT03401294RecruitingPhase 2
Turn unresectable liver cancer into operable colorectal cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment strategy to shrink or control colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver, with the goal of making it removable by surgery. If you qualify, it may offer a chance to move from “not operable” to “operable,” but it’s still experimental.
Regina, SaskatchewanAges 18–70 - NCT07117435RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted chemo into liver for colorectal cancer spread
This trial is testing a new way to give the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel directly into the liver (through a tiny tube) along with standard systemic treatment for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this targeted approach works better than standard treatment alone.
Lishui, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07124858Recruiting

BeijingAges 3 weeks–2 months - NCT07114380Recruiting
Cold snare removal of medium colon polyps
This trial tests a way to remove medium-sized colon polyps (10–20 mm) that have a stalk, using a cold snare (a wire loop that cuts without heat). It may help you avoid more complex procedures, and the study will check if this method is safe and effective.
HsinchuAges 20 years+ - NCT07106034RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new combo therapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (ONGERICIMAB and TORIPALIMAB) for people with a specific type of colorectal cancer that did not respond to first treatment. It aims to see if this new approach can help shrink or control the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07109440Recruiting
FAPI PET/CT scan for colorectal cancer liver spread
This study uses a special type of PET/CT scan (FAPI) to get a better look at the environment around colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It may help doctors learn more about the tumor and plan treatment.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT07105631Recruiting
Study of cediranib and immunotherapy in advanced colorectal cancer
This study looks at how patients with a certain type of advanced colorectal cancer (MSS-type) feel and do during treatment with a combo of cediranib and immunotherapy. It aims to learn about side effects, quality of life, and how well the treatment works in everyday practice.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07098182Recruiting
Preserving blood supply during colon or rectal surgery
This trial tests a technique during colon or rectal surgery to preserve a specific blood vessel (the left colic artery) that helps keep the remaining colon healthy. It is for people with left colon, rectal, or ovarian cancer who are scheduled for surgery.
Montpellier, HeraultAges 18 years+ - NCT06972199Recruiting
Foot massage or warm water bath for pain after colon cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a foot massage or a warm water foot bath can help reduce pain and improve recovery after laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 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.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT07090291Recruiting
China colorectal cancer screening trial for adults 45–74
This trial is testing a new way to screen for colorectal cancer in adults aged 45 to 74. If you join, you will help researchers find better methods for early detection.
GuandongAges 45–74 - NCT07087561Recruiting
Nutrition and health education after colorectal cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a short-term nutritional supplement combined with health education can improve recovery after surgery for colorectal cancer. It is for people with stage IIa, IIb, or IIIa colon or rectal cancer who have completed surgery and are able to engage in follow-up.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for colorectal?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,202 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.
