Recruiting studies
- NCT06889883Recruiting
Blood test for early colorectal cancer detection
This study is testing a new blood test to find colorectal cancer early. You may be able to join if you are about to have a colonoscopy or surgery for a suspected tumor.
Zaragoza, AragonAges 18 years+ - NCT06903325Recruiting

Toripalimab plus celecoxib for dMMR/MSI-H colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether combining toripalimab (an immunotherapy) with celecoxib (an anti-inflammatory drug) can shrink locally advanced colorectal tumors that have specific genetic features (dMMR or MSI-H). It aims to help people who haven't had any prior treatment for their colorectal cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06904677Recruiting
Urine test to predict colorectal cancer treatment response
This study uses a special urine test to see if it can predict how well colorectal cancer responds to treatment. If you are about to start treatment before surgery, you may be able to join by giving urine samples before and during therapy.

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.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06946615RecruitingPhase 1
Claudin18.2 cell therapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This study tests a new treatment using your own immune cells (called CAR-T and CAR-DC) that are engineered to attack cancer cells with a specific protein (Claudin18.2). It is for people with advanced colorectal cancer who have exhausted standard treatments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT06957015Recruiting
New system to measure polyp size during colonoscopy
This trial tests a new computer system that helps doctors estimate the size of polyps during a colonoscopy. It may help doctors make better decisions about your treatment.
ShatinAges 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 - NCT06959550RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab for previously treated metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called ivonescimab, which is a bispecific antibody that targets both PD-1 and VEGF. It is for people with metastatic colorectal cancer who have already tried standard treatments and may or may not have received immunotherapy before, depending on their tumor type.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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.
Jinan, ShandongAges 45–85 - NCT06971848Recruiting
Skin testing for biologic drug allergies
This trial checks if people can safely receive certain biologic drugs without allergic reactions, using skin tests to see how the body reacts. It may help find out if you are allergic to a biologic medicine you have taken before.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06976710Recruiting
Improving communication before colon or rectal cancer surgery
This trial is testing a way to improve communication between you and your surgical team before colon or rectal cancer surgery. It's for adults having major surgery that aims to cure their cancer.
Coffs Harbour, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06979908RecruitingPhase 2
A study of fruquintinib plus immunotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (fruquintinib, a PD-1 inhibitor, and chidamide) for people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if this new combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–75 - NCT06980532RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Glumetinib and Fruquintinib for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (Glumetinib and Fruquintinib) for people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer that has a change in the MET gene (amplification) or too much MET protein. It is for those whose cancer has not responded to at least two prior treatments.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06992258RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two drug combinations for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding TAS-102 to fruquintinib works better than fruquintinib alone for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has stopped responding to other treatments.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07024225Recruiting
A look back at colon and rectal cancers
This study reviews medical records of people with colon or rectal cancer to better understand the disease. It helps researchers learn more without any new treatments or procedures.
Sohag, Sohag GovernmentAges 18–80 - NCT07033156Recruiting
Colorectal cancer detection using gene methylation test
This study is testing a new way to detect colorectal cancer early by looking for specific changes (gene methylation) in stool and blood samples. If you are 40 or older and have a colonoscopy scheduled, this non-invasive approach might help find cancer sooner.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 40 years+ - NCT07035002RecruitingPhase 1

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for colorectal?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,214 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.
