New York, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT04938986Recruiting
Testing a tumor marker to predict colon cancer relapse risk
This study looks at whether a lab test on your tumor can better predict the chance that non-metastatic colon cancer will come back after surgery. Researchers will compare relapse risk using the Immunoscore® test to help guide follow-up and treatment decisions.
MarseilleAges 18–80 - NCT05848609Recruiting
Quality of life study for older adults having robotic colon surgery
This study looks at how older people feel and function after robotic surgery for colorectal cancer. It may help doctors understand what to expect and how to better support quality of life during recovery.
BrusselsAges 70 years+ - NCT05360277RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance immunotherapy and chemo after surgery for metastatic colon cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies tislelizumab plus capecitabine given after surgery to help prevent metastatic colorectal cancer from coming back. It may be an option if you recently had surgery that removed visible disease and you have good overall health.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT04236128Recruiting
Mobile app support after colorectal surgery at home
This trial studies a home mobile app to help people after elective colorectal surgery transition safely back home. It may help you feel more supported with recovery and instructions once you’re discharged.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT02863172Recruiting
Genetic studies in families with inherited colon cancer
This study looks at genetic reasons some families get colon cancer due to inherited (run-in-the-family) syndromes. It may help doctors better understand risk and tailor care for you or your relatives.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03488953Recruiting
Two-step liver surgery using a living donor transplant
This study looks at a specialized liver transplant approach using a living donor, for people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed by standard surgery. It’s meant for cases where chemotherapy has helped stop or shrink the tumors, to improve the chance of successful treatment.
JenaAges 18 years+ - NCT06205862RecruitingPhase 2
Fecal transplant for preventing colon polyp return
This study tests whether taking capsules of healthy bacteria (fecal microbiota transplant) can help prevent colon polyps from coming back after they have been removed. It might be an option for people who have had an adenoma polyp removed and want to reduce the chance of recurrence.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06434597RecruitingPhase 2
Study of SPH5030 for HER2-positive advanced colorectal or bile duct cancer
This study tests a new medication (SPH5030) for people with advanced colorectal or biliary tract cancer whose tumors have a specific marker called HER2. It may offer a treatment option if previous therapies have stopped working.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06339671Recruiting
Recovery after surgery: smoking and complications
This study looks at how smoking habits affect recovery after colorectal surgery. It aims to understand if smokers have more complications than non-smokers, which could help tailor care before and after surgery.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06951503RecruitingPhase 3
AK112 plus chemo for first-line metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called AK112 combined with chemotherapy as a first treatment for people with metastatic colorectal cancer. The goal is to see if the combination helps shrink tumors and improve survival better than chemotherapy alone.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 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+ - NCT06440902RecruitingPhase 2
New treatments for RAS-changed colorectal cancer using blood tests
This study tests new treatment plans for people with metastatic colorectal cancer whose tumors originally had a RAS mutation but later show no RAS mutation in blood tests. The goal is to see if these treatment changes can help shrink or control the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07535112RecruitingPhase 1
Testing BAY 3771249 for Advanced Colorectal Cancer With KRAS Mutation
