Norrköping, Östergötland CountyAges 18–85 - NCT05692024RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Coffee and gut bacteria study after colon or rectal cancer
This early-phase study tests whether a coffee-related approach can change gut bacteria and blood “metabolites” after treatment for stage I–III colon or rectal cancer. The goal is to learn if these changes could help improve health after standard cancer treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05639413Recruiting
Study of biology in people with BRAF V600E metastatic colon cancer
This study follows people with BRAF V600E–positive metastatic colorectal (colon) cancer to better understand how the cancer’s biology changes over time. It may help researchers learn which features to watch and how this cancer behaves after initial treatment.
AvignonAges 18 years+ - NCT05663203Recruiting
Web-based support program for colorectal cancer patients and caregivers
This trial tests a web-based coaching/support program done together by you and your main caregiver. It may help by addressing common emotional and brain-related symptoms during active chemotherapy.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05577143Recruiting
Blood test screening for colorectal cancer
This study checks whether a blood test can help identify colorectal cancer or precancerous growths. You would have a planned colonoscopy, and researchers compare the blood test results to what the colonoscopy finds.
LilleAges 18–75 - NCT04742621Recruiting
Liver transplant for colon cancer that spread only to the liver
This trial studies using a liver transplant to treat colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver but not anywhere else. It may help people with limited liver-only spread whose disease hasn’t worsened for a while.
New York, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT05008809RecruitingPhase 3
FIRE-9 trial: chemo after colon cancer metastasis removal
This trial studies whether giving chemotherapy after surgery or ablation (destroying spots of cancer) can improve outcomes in people with metastatic colon or rectal cancer. It compares post-treatment chemotherapy strategies to reduce the chance the cancer comes back.
AmbergAges 18 years+ - NCT05447923Recruiting
Colorectal screening study for Black and underserved Phoenix adults
This study aims to help improve colorectal cancer screening (checking the colon) in Black and underserved communities in Phoenix. It may help you find out which screening tests fit you and encourage regular screening.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 45 years+ - NCT05379595RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Amivantamab for advanced colon or rectal cancer with specific tumor traits
This Phase 1/2 study tests amivantamab alone or combined with standard chemotherapy to treat advanced or metastatic colon or rectal cancer. You may be able to join if your tumor has the right genetic profile (typically “wild-type” for certain genes and no HER2 amplification) and your cancer has measurable or biopsy-able lesions.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05398380Recruiting
Liver transplant for colorectal liver cancer that can’t be removed
This trial studies liver transplantation for certain people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to improve outcomes for carefully selected patients whose cancer is controlled on chemotherapy and who meet specific safety and scan requirements.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18–70 - NCT05410977Recruiting
Testing blood and stool for colon cancer in Lynch syndrome
This study collects blood and stool samples to see how well they can detect colorectal cancer or advanced growths in people with Lynch syndrome (an inherited colon cancer risk) or suspected Lynch syndrome. It may help find cancer or precancer earlier, which can improve next-step decisions.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05253651RecruitingPhase 3
Tucatinib plus trastuzumab with chemo for HER2+ metastatic colon cancer
This trial tests whether adding tucatinib and trastuzumab to standard chemotherapy works better than standard treatment alone for people with HER2-positive metastatic colon or rectal cancer. It aims to improve how long people live and how well tumors respond as first treatment for advanced disease.
Glendale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05248581Recruiting
Living donor liver transplant for unresectable colon cancer spread
This trial looks at using a living donor liver transplant for people whose colon or rectal cancer has spread to the liver in a way that can’t be removed with standard surgery. It may help if you might otherwise have limited options because your liver surgery would be too risky.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05014399Recruiting
Study memory changes during chemotherapy for colorectal cancer
This study looks at cognitive (thinking and memory) changes in people with colorectal cancer who start certain chemotherapy drugs. It aims to understand how treatment affects the brain and may guide better monitoring or support during care.
Fort Wayne, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05015296Recruiting
Immune cells and recovery in colorectal cancer surgery
This trial looks at how your immune cells change before and after surgery for colorectal cancer, and whether those changes affect your long-term recovery. It may help doctors predict outcomes and improve care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT04929223RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted drug study for metastatic colon or rectal cancer
This Phase 1 study tests targeted cancer treatments in people with metastatic colorectal cancer, using genetic “biomarker” results to match you to the right treatment group. It focuses first on safety, and also looks for early signs the treatment may work in specific tumor subgroups.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04912765RecruitingPhase 2
New immune vaccine plus nivolumab for liver cancer
This trial studies whether an individualized “neoantigen” cancer vaccine given to immune cells (dendritic cells) plus nivolumab can improve outcomes in people with liver cancer and/or colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver. It focuses on tumors that can be removed with curative surgery (with or without local ablation) and on people with good enough liver and overall health.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT04847063RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug heating inside the abdomen for peritoneal cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests a treatment that delivers heated chemotherapy directly into the abdomen (HIPEC) for certain cancers that have spread only within the abdominal lining. It aims to see how safely and effectively this approach works, especially when doctors can remove as much tumor as possible.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT04824053Recruiting
Dairy products study for people at high risk of colon cancer
This trial studies whether specific dairy products (UNICLA-A2) can help lower the risk of future colon problems in people considered high risk for colorectal cancer. You may be asked to keep using dairy consistently and undergo colon checks as part of usual follow-up.
Zaragoza, ZaragozaAges 18–80 - NCT04767568Recruiting
Testing a blood test to guide colorectal cancer screening care
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help guide the care of people being evaluated for colorectal cancer. It may support earlier or clearer decision-making alongside existing screening or colonoscopy results.
