Study of colorectal cancer records to improve future research
This retrospective study uses existing colorectal cancer imaging and/or preserved tissue samples to support more precise (personalized) research. It may help researchers better understand colorectal cancer over time, but it does not involve new treatment.

AMB-05X for colorectal cancer with ctDNA after treatment
This trial tests a drug called AMB-05X for people with colorectal cancer who have completed all intended treatments and show no signs of cancer on scans, but still have cancer DNA (ctDNA) in their blood. The goal is to see if AMB-05X can eliminate this remaining cancer DNA and prevent the cancer from coming back.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06614647Recruiting
Digital follow-up for colorectal cancer survivors
This trial tests a smartphone-based follow-up program for people who have been treated for early-stage colorectal cancer. The goal is to see if a digital, need-based care guide can replace standard follow-up visits.

Study of SR-8541A plus two immunotherapies for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination (SR-8541A, botensilimab, and balstilimab) for people with a specific type of metastatic colorectal cancer that is not MSI-high. It aims to see if this combination can help when other treatments have stopped working.
Morristown, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06583564Enrolling by invitation
ICG dye during surgery for stage III colorectal cancer
This study tests whether using a special dye during surgery helps people with stage III colorectal cancer stay cancer-free longer. The dye, called indocyanine green (ICG), makes tumors and lymph nodes glow under a special camera, helping surgeons remove them more precisely.
Changning, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06597955Enrolling by invitation
Colorectal Cancer Screening Decision Aid Study
This study is testing a tool to help people decide about getting screened for colorectal cancer. If you are between 45 and 75, get care at certain health systems (like IU Health), and are due for screening, you may be able to join.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06588166Recruiting
Stool microbiome test for colon cancer screening
This study tests if a stool microbiome test can help find colorectal cancer early in people who already had a positive FIT screening test. You would give a stool sample and your microbiome results will be compared to what the colonoscopy finds.
RomaAges 50–74 - NCT06578065Recruiting
Comparing powered vs. manual staplers for colon surgery
This trial tests if a new powered circular stapler reduces complications compared to a manual stapler when connecting the colon after left-sided colon or rectal surgery. It may help improve healing and outcomes.

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.
