Recruiting studies
- NCT06763029RecruitingPhase 2
Study of three drugs for advanced colorectal cancer after first treatment
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (irinotecan liposomes, cetuximab, and vemurafenib) for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has a specific genetic change (BRAF V600E mutation) and did not respond to first treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06773832Recruiting

This trial uses artificial intelligence to help doctors better identify and classify polyps during a routine colonoscopy. It may lead to more accurate detection and fewer missed abnormalities.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06776757RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sintilimab plus cetuximab and chemo for first-line advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (sintilimab), a targeted therapy (cetuximab), and chemotherapy as a first treatment for advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't spread or come back after earlier treatment. It's for people whose tumors have certain genetic markers (RAS/BRAF wild-type) and show signs of immune activity (PD-L1 or CD8+ TILs).
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06778382RecruitingPhase 2
Delaying treatment after destroying lung spots from colorectal cancer
This trial tests if it's safe to wait before starting full-body therapy after treating a small number of lung tumors (5 or fewer) in people whose colorectal cancer had been gone for at least 6 months. You would first get local treatments like surgery or radiation to destroy the lung spots, then delay additional cancer drugs to see how you do.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT06780423Recruiting
Muscle changes in colorectal cancer cachexia
This study compares muscle changes in people with colorectal cancer who have experienced weight loss (cachexia), those with colorectal cancer without weight loss, and healthy volunteers. Participants will have their trunk and leg muscles examined to understand how cachexia affects the body.
Diepenbeek, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06783244Recruiting
Low vs standard belly pressure for robot colorectal cancer surgery
This trial is testing whether using lower air pressure inside the belly during robot-assisted colorectal cancer surgery helps patients recover better compared to the standard pressure. It aims to find a gentler approach that might reduce pain and improve recovery.
Copenhagen NVAges 18 years+ - NCT06787105Recruiting
Fruquintinib for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a drug called fruquintinib for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread. It is for patients who have already tried several standard treatments and need a new option.
Hanover, Lower SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT06799793Recruiting
AI screening for early colorectal cancer detection
This study uses an artificial intelligence model to analyze test results from the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) to help find colon cancer early. You may benefit if you are 50-69 and had a positive FIT result as part of a screening program.
Bologna, BolognaAges 50–69 - NCT06805123Recruiting
Early feeding after colorectal polyp removal
This trial compares starting to eat right after a colon polyp removal procedure versus waiting a few hours. It may help you resume normal eating sooner after the procedure.
BusanAges 18 years+ - NCT06809660Recruiting
Gut bacteria and cancer risk from everyday chemicals
This study looks at how chemicals in the environment (called endocrine disruptors) might affect the natural bacteria in your gut and whether that could play a role in colorectal cancer. If you are having a colonoscopy (endoscopy), you may be able to participate.
PoitiersAges 18 years+ - NCT06822530Recruiting
Increasing colon cancer screening after abnormal stool test
This trial tests a multilevel support program to help patients who had an abnormal FIT (fecal immunochemical test) result get a follow-up colonoscopy. The goal is to increase colorectal cancer screening completion.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 45–75 - NCT06825624RecruitingPhase 1
Testing HS-20093 combinations for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination (HS-20093) for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see if the combination is safe and effective.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06846268RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo before surgery for colorectal cancer
This trial tests two immunotherapy drugs (ADG126 and pembrolizumab) given before surgery for locally advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't spread. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT06848465RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation plus chemo-immunotherapy for colon cancer with liver spread
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy for people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06853496RecruitingPhase 1
RK-582 for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new type of pill called RK-582 that may help block the growth of colorectal cancer cells. It is for people whose cancer has spread and hasn't gotten better with other treatments.
Koto-ku, TokyoAges 18 years+ - NCT06856187RecruitingPhase 2
Second-line chemo plus TAS-102 combo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests adding a new drug combo (TAS-102 and bevacizumab) to standard second-line treatment for advanced colorectal cancer, followed by local treatments. It may help if your first treatment stopped working and you are otherwise in good health.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06856447RecruitingPhase 1
Coenzyme Q10 to prevent nerve damage from chemotherapy
This trial tests whether taking coenzyme Q10 (a natural substance) can help prevent nerve damage caused by the chemotherapy drug oxaliplatin in people with stage III colorectal cancer. If successful, it could reduce pain, numbness, or tingling during treatment.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT06856837RecruitingPhase 2
Fruquintinib and Tislelizumab for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, fruquintinib and tislelizumab, for people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer that has not spread to the liver. It is for those whose cancer is stable in certain DNA repair systems (MSS/pMMR) and who have already tried other treatments.
LinzAges 18 years+ - NCT06857773RecruitingPhase 3
Combined pump therapy and chemo for liver-only colorectal cancer
This trial tests a treatment approach where you receive chemotherapy directly into your liver through a surgically placed pump, combined with standard systemic chemotherapy (given through a vein). The goal is to shrink liver tumors enough so they can be removed later with surgery. It is for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and has not been treated before.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06869096Recruiting
Flushing liquid during colorectal cancer surgery
This trial compares two different liquids used to flush the surgical area during colorectal cancer surgery to see which one better prevents infections. If you are having surgery for colorectal cancer, you may be able to join.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for colorectal?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,211 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.
