Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT06958419RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Short radiation plus targeted drugs for advanced colon cancer
This trial tests a combination of short-course radiation, chemotherapy, targeted therapy (bevacizumab), and an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread and is not curable with surgery. It aims to see if this approach can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06959589Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Combination therapy for KRAS G12C mutated colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination (IBI351, cetuximab, and FOLFIRI) as first treatment or as a second treatment after standard chemotherapy for people with KRAS G12C mutated colorectal cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if it works well and is safe.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT02328677Recruiting
Colorectal cancer study for newly diagnosed patients
This study enrolls people newly diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer to learn about their care and outcomes. You might be able to join if you meet the age, language, and consent requirements.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–89 - NCT05844514Recruiting
Breath test study for colorectal cancer detection and risk
This study tests a breath analysis (a sample you give by breathing into a device) to help detect or better understand colorectal cancer. It may help researchers see whether breath results can identify cancer sooner and in people who haven’t started treatment yet.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06948448RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment for advanced colorectal cancer with PD-L1 biomarker
This trial tests a new drug (ONO-4578) combined with standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has not been treated before and has a specific marker called PD-L1. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the usual treatment.

AK112 plus chemo for first-line metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called AK112 combined with chemotherapy as a first treatment for people with metastatic colorectal cancer. The goal is to see if the combination helps shrink tumors and improve survival better than chemotherapy alone.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06938971Recruiting
Exercise for quality of life in metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether a combination of resistance and aerobic exercise can improve quality of life for people starting their first round of chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer. If you are newly diagnosed and not already exercising regularly, this study may help you feel better during treatment.

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 - NCT06930157RecruitingPhase 4
Shenling Baishu Granule to prevent low-risk colon polyp return
This study tests if a Chinese herbal medicine (Shenling Baishu Granule) can help prevent low-risk colon polyps from coming back after they've been removed. It is for people who have had a good colonoscopy and had their polyps taken out within the last 3 months.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06929013Recruiting
Blood marker study for colorectal cancer spread to belly
This study looks at how certain blood markers (nucleosome and CTCF) clear from the body in people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly. It also includes people with other conditions to compare. The goal is to learn more about these markers to help guide treatment.
Pierre-BéniteAges 18 years+ - NCT06931860Enrolling by invitation
Mailed colon cancer screening test comparison
This trial compares two home colon cancer screening tests, Cologuard and FIT, mailed directly to you. It aims to see which one helps more people complete screening and find the test that works best for you.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 45–49 - NCT06924489Recruiting
3D imaging for better adenoma detection during colonoscopy
This trial tests a 3D imaging device during colonoscopy to see if it helps find more advanced adenomas (precancerous polyps) than standard colonoscopy. If you are scheduled for a diagnostic colonoscopy and haven't had colorectal cancer or polyps removed before, this study might be for you.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT04490733Recruiting
Test dual-task walking to improve thinking in colorectal cancer
This study looks at a walking exercise that makes you do two tasks at once (for example, walking while focusing on something) to see if it can improve thinking and memory. It is for people newly diagnosed with early to mid-stage colorectal cancer, and excludes people with other cancers or cancer coming back.
TaipeiAges 40–75 - NCT06917079RecruitingPhase 1
BBO-11818 for KRAS-mutated cancers
This trial tests a new oral drug (BBO-11818) for people with solid tumors that have a specific KRAS mutation. It's for those whose cancer has spread or cannot be removed by surgery and who have not had other cancers recently.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06919068Recruiting
Colon camera capsule for gut bacteria in the blood
This trial tests whether a camera capsule can detect problems in the large intestine when certain gut bacteria are found in the blood. If you have one of these bacteria and are stable enough for the exam, it might help identify the source of the infection.

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.
