Study of NGM120 for weight loss in colorectal cancer
This study tests an experimental drug called NGM120 for people with colorectal cancer who are losing weight (a condition called cancer cachexia). It is a placebo-controlled trial, meaning some participants will receive the drug and some will receive a placebo, to see if the drug helps stop or reverse this weight loss.

This trial tests an experimental drug called XS-03 combined with standard chemotherapy (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) plus a targeted therapy (bevacizumab) for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that has a RAS mutation. The goal is to see if adding XS-03 helps shrink tumors or slows cancer growth better than current treatments.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06907342RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized chemo selection for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether a functional test on a tumor biopsy can help choose the best first chemotherapy regimen (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) for people with metastatic colorectal cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by matching treatment to each person's unique tumor biology.
TrondheimAges 18 years+ - NCT06878131Recruiting
Precision-MRD: Targeted therapy study for colorectal cancer with MRD
This study looks at how well targeted therapies work for people with colorectal cancer who have minimal residual disease (MRD, tiny amounts of cancer left after treatment) detected by a blood test. It is for people who have a specific genetic change (biomarker) in their tumor and have not been treated with the targeted therapy for that biomarker before.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06873763RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Nelmastobart with chemo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug, nelmastobart, combined with two standard chemotherapy drugs (trifluridine/tipiracil and bevacizumab) for people with advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT06865638Recruiting
Testing for colorectal anastomotic leaks after surgery
This trial is testing a new method to check for leaks after colorectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if it helps prevent complications and improves recovery.
Nanchong, SichuanAges 18–85 - NCT06868095Enrolling by invitation
Sarcopenia’s impact on early-onset colorectal cancer
This study looks at how muscle loss (sarcopenia) affects people diagnosed with colorectal cancer before age 50. It uses CT or MRI scans taken at diagnosis to measure muscle mass and see how it relates to treatment and outcomes.
Ages 18–49 - NCT06849362Enrolling by invitation
Optimizing immunotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This study looks at how well different combinations of immunotherapy drugs work for advanced colorectal cancer that is MSS or MSI-L or pMMR. It reviews past patient records to see which treatments help control the disease and slow its growth.
Changsha, HunanAges Any age - NCT06824064RecruitingPhase 2
RBS2418 for advanced metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called RBS2418 for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread and is getting worse, even after other treatments have stopped working. The goal is to see if RBS2418 can help control the cancer.
Newark, DelawareAges 18 years+ - NCT06200831Recruiting
Same surgery or two surgeries for colorectal cancer with liver spread
This trial compares having one surgery to remove both the colon tumor and liver tumors at the same time versus having two separate surgeries. It aims to find which approach is safer and works better for patients whose cancer has spread only to the liver.
OsloAges 18–80 - NCT06741293Recruiting
Improving colorectal cancer early screening with stool tests
This study looks for markers in stool (poop) to detect colorectal cancer early. If you are between 40 and 74, live in the Lisbon area, and don't have certain digestive or cancer conditions, you may help improve screening by providing a stool sample.

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.
