Recruiting studies
- NCT06883422Recruiting

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+ - 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 - NCT06855355Enrolling by invitation
Can CBM588 help prevent colon polyp return?
This study tests a dietary supplement called CBM588 to see if it helps prevent new colorectal polyps from coming back. You may be eligible if you have had polyps removed before and recently found new ones.

Ivonescimab and chemotherapy for colorectal cancer that spread only to the liver
This trial tests a new drug called ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be surgically removed right away. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink the tumors enough to allow surgery or other treatments.
BeijingAges 18 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+ - NCT02885753RecruitingPhase 3
Liver-only metastatic colon cancer trial using targeted chemo
This Phase 3 trial tests different ways to deliver chemotherapy for colon cancer that has spread only to the liver (with limited possible tiny lung spots). It looks at whether the treatment plan improves outcomes compared with another chemotherapy approach, using oxaliplatin and LV5FU2 (with or without irinotecan) plus an added targeted medicine.
BrusselsAges 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+ - NCT06279351RecruitingPhase 2
Thalidomide plus standard chemo and cetuximab for left-sided colon cancer
This trial tests whether adding the drug thalidomide to standard chemotherapy plus cetuximab can work better for people with advanced left-sided colorectal cancer that hasn't been treated before. If you have a specific gene type (RAS/BRAF wild-type) and are in generally good health, this study may be an option.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT06807073Recruiting
Closing the wound after large colon polyp removal
This study compares closing the wound after removing a large colon polyp to leaving it open. The goal is to see if closing the area reduces bleeding or other problems.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT05755672Recruiting
Study biomarkers during curative-intent treatment for metastatic colon cancer
This study looks at biological markers (substances measured in the body) during treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer. It may help doctors better understand how treatment works, using patients who are treated with a goal of cure.
Lund, Skåne CountyAges 18–110 - NCT06801665RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for advanced colorectal cancer with liver spread
This trial tests a new combination of treatments for advanced colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help patients live longer.
ChangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT06794086RecruitingPhase 3
SBRT and immunotherapy for colorectal cancer liver metastases
This trial combines targeted radiation (SBRT) with an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) to treat colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and can't be removed by surgery. It aims to help shrink or control tumors in patients whose cancer has a normal DNA repair system (pMMR/MSS).
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - 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.
Biberach, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT06792695RecruitingPhase 2
Study of new treatments for colorectal cancer
This trial tests new treatment combinations for colorectal cancer that has spread (metastatic). It is for people whose cancer is mismatch repair proficient (pMMR) or microsatellite stable (MSS) and who have not had previous treatment for metastatic disease.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–130 - NCT05571644RecruitingPhase 2
Study compares two pre-surgery treatments for locally advanced rectal cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a newer combination chemotherapy plus an immunotherapy medicine (cadonilimab/AK104) works better than standard chemotherapy before surgery for locally advanced colorectal cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve how well treatment works after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - 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+ - 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.

Oral drugs and radiation for advanced colorectal cancer after standard therapy
This trial tests a combination of oral chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, with or without radiation, for people with advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't responded to at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if this approach can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.

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.
