Recruiting studies
- NCT06475560Recruiting
Camera capsule endoscopy for colorectal disease diagnosis
This trial tests a camera pill (capsule endoscopy) as an alternative to a regular colonoscopy for people with colon or rectum symptoms. It's a simpler way to look inside your large intestine without a tube.
Odense CAges 18 years+ - NCT06449989Recruiting
Comparing genetics of colorectal cancer and its brain spread
This study compares the genetics of the original colorectal cancer with the cancer that has spread to the brain. It aims to understand how the tumor changes when it metastasizes, which may help guide future treatments.
Moscow, MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT06443996Enrolling by invitation
Sleep, mood, and colorectal cancer recovery study
This study looks at how your sleep quality and emotional well-being before surgery might affect your recovery from colorectal cancer. By filling out questionnaires, you help doctors learn whether these factors play a role in the cancer coming back.

Personalized immune therapy for ctDNA-positive colorectal cancer
This trial tests a personalized immune therapy (like a custom vaccine) for people with colorectal cancer that has a positive ctDNA MRD test after surgery. It aims to use the body's own immune system to target any remaining cancer cells and prevent the cancer from coming back.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05174286Recruiting
Phone-based coaching to help prevent colon cancer and heart disease
This study uses community health worker support by phone to help people at higher risk stay on top of recommended screening. It may help reduce colorectal cancer risk and also improve heart health.

Combination Drug Study for KRAS G12C Colorectal Cancer
This trial tests three drugs (adagrasib, cetuximab, cemiplimab) together for colorectal cancer with a KRAS G12C mutation. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors or slows cancer growth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06411691RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine plus immunotherapy for KRAS-mutant cancers
This trial tests a cancer vaccine designed to target KRAS-mutated tumors, combined with two immunotherapy drugs, for people with advanced colorectal or pancreatic cancer. It may help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06401174Enrolling by invitation
Patient navigation for colorectal cancer screening
This study tests a patient navigation program to help people who are due for colorectal cancer screening get the test they need. It connects you with a guide to make scheduling and completing screening easier.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 45–75 - NCT05904665Recruiting
Blood methylation test to guide follow-up after colon cancer surgery
This study checks a special blood test (circulating tumor DNA methylation) to help guide follow-up after surgery for non-metastatic colon cancer. It may help find whether additional treatment or closer monitoring is needed based on the test results.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06369259RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment for advanced colorectal cancer that resisted standard therapy
This clinical trial tests a new combination of three drugs for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to standard anti-EGFR treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer down.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06349642Recruiting
Testing a live tumor test for immune therapy response
This trial uses a special test on live tumor samples to see if it can predict how well immune checkpoint inhibitors (a type of immunotherapy) will work for different cancers. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06349590RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Diet before colon cancer surgery to reduce recurrence
This trial tests whether a specific diet before colon cancer surgery can change the bacteria in your gut to help prevent the cancer from coming back or spreading. Patients who are eligible will follow the diet for a short time before their operation.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06356584RecruitingPhase 2
A drug combination with or without radiation for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug combo (fruquintinib and sintilimab) with or without radiation for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and has not responded to earlier treatments.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT06335420Recruiting
Can carrot juice prevent colon polyps from coming back?
This study tests whether drinking carrot juice every day can lower the chance that large colon polyps or early colon cancers will come back. Researchers want to see if the nutrients in carrot juice help protect the lining of the colon.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT06314022Recruiting
Mobile app for better colonoscopy in cancer screening
This study tests a mobile app designed to help improve the quality of colonoscopies for people in a colorectal cancer screening program. If you have had a positive FIT test and are between 50 and 69, you may be able to join.
Valladolid, ValladolidAges 50–74 - NCT06276140Enrolling by invitation
Iron deficiency anemia and recovery after colorectal cancer surgery
This study looks at how iron deficiency anemia affects recovery after surgery for colorectal cancer. It may help doctors understand if treating this type of anemia before surgery improves outcomes.
KamenitzAges 18 years+ - NCT06008054RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for advanced gastrointestinal cancers
This trial tests two new drugs (BL-B01D1 and SI-B003) alone or with a standard immunotherapy for advanced gastrointestinal cancers. The goal is to see if these combinations shrink tumors and are safe.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06272461Recruiting
Comparing lidocaine vs. ketamine for colorectal surgery pain
This trial compares two pain-relief medicines (lidocaine vs. ketamine) given through an IV during open colorectal surgery. It aims to find which one works better to reduce pain after surgery.
NabeulAges 18–90 - NCT06271941Recruiting
Reducing polyp return after large colon polyp removal
This trial is testing a standard way to remove large polyps from the colon and checking if it helps prevent them from coming back. It's for people who have a large non-cancerous polyp that needs to be taken out during a colonoscopy.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06265285RecruitingPhase 2

Study of new drug combo for KRAS G12C colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (sotorasib, panitumumab, and FOLFIRI) against the standard treatment for colorectal cancer that has spread. It's for people whose tumor has a specific KRAS G12C mutation and who have not had chemotherapy before for advanced disease.

A safety trial of trifluridine/tipiracil for DPD-deficient patients
This trial tests a chemotherapy drug (trifluridine/tipiracil) in people with metastatic colorectal or gastroesophageal cancer who have a DPD deficiency. DPD deficiency means your body may have trouble breaking down certain chemotherapy drugs, which can lead to serious side effects. This study aims to see if this drug is safe and effective for you.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06193356Recruiting
