Recruiting studies
- NCT06202183Recruiting
Home exercise for gut health in young colorectal cancer patients
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program can improve the health of your gut bacteria during chemotherapy for young-onset colorectal cancer. It aims to help you feel better and potentially improve how well your treatment works.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–50 - NCT06568679Recruiting
Improving detection and treatment of early-onset colorectal cancer
This study aims to find better ways to detect and treat colorectal cancer in younger adults (ages 18–49). It includes people with both early-stage and advanced cancer.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18–49 - NCT04812912Recruiting
Study sexual and reproductive effects in early colon cancer
This study looks at how early-onset colorectal cancer treatment affects reproductive and sexual health over time. It asks eligible people to complete questionnaires so researchers can understand and possibly improve care during and after treatment.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18–50 - NCT05732623Recruiting
Study of early colorectal cancer risk factors in younger adults
This study looks at factors that may contribute to early-onset colorectal cancer (cancer in the colon or rectum diagnosed at a young age). It compares people with early-onset colorectal cancer to people without cancer to better understand possible causes and risks.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18–49 - NCT06326879Recruiting
Comparing early vs late onset colorectal cancer
This study compares patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer at a younger age (under 50) to those diagnosed later in life. By looking at tissue samples and patient surveys, researchers hope to understand differences in the disease and improve care for all ages.
Rozzano, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06342401Recruiting
Early onset colorectal cancer detection study
This study aims to improve detection of colorectal cancer in people diagnosed before age 50. It compares samples from patients with cancer to those without to find new early detection methods.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–50 - NCT06734156Recruiting
Gut microbiome study in colorectal cancer patients
This study looks at how bacteria and other microbes in your gut are linked to colorectal cancer risk and outcomes. By collecting stool samples from people newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer, researchers hope to find patterns that could improve understanding and future treatments.
Lisbon, Lisbon DistrictAges 40–74 - NCT06965335Recruiting
Early-onset colorectal cancer study
This study looks at colorectal cancer that starts early in life (ages 18–40). It compares it to the same cancer in people over 60 to find differences. You can join if you have had colorectal cancer and can provide a sample of your tumor.
Milan, MilanoAges 18–40 - NCT07095517RecruitingPhase 1
Preventing early-onset colorectal tumors with tirzepatide
This study tests if tirzepatide can help prevent early-onset colorectal tumors in people aged 18-50 who have had certain types of polyps removed. It aims to find risk factors and ways to stop colorectal cancer before it starts.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–50 - NCT07559825Recruiting
Understanding Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer in Younger Patients
This study looks at colorectal cancer in younger patients who wouldn't normally be screened. Researchers want to understand how this cancer develops in people under the typical screening age.
Dallas, TexasAges 35 years+ - 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 - NCT06617858RecruitingPhase 2
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+ - NCT07500298RecruitingPhase 1
New drug plus standard chemo for spread colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called SAR445877 combined with two standard chemotherapies (FOLFOX and bevacizumab) as an initial treatment for people whose colorectal cancer has spread and is microsatellite stable (MSS). It aims to see if adding this drug works better than standard therapy alone.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07071961RecruitingPhase 2
Treatment for colorectal cancer with signs of remaining disease after therapy
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, regorafenib and lorigerlimab, for people with colorectal cancer that has a positive blood test for cancer DNA after they have finished standard treatments. The goal is to see if this treatment can delay or prevent the cancer from coming back.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07411599RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-NK cell therapy plus cetuximab for belly-spread colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new cell therapy (CAR-NK cells given directly into your belly and a vein) combined with a targeted drug (cetuximab) for colorectal cancer that has spread mainly to the lining of your belly. It aims to see if this treatment can shrink tumors and help people who have run out of standard chemotherapy options.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT05947838Recruiting
Blood test helps choose chemotherapy before colorectal or appendix surgery
This study uses a blood test called ctDNA to help tailor (personalize) neoadjuvant chemotherapy for people with colorectal or appendix cancer before surgery. The goal is to see if using ctDNA can help doctors pick the most appropriate chemotherapy plan for you.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04749108RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Tailored treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer after FOLFIRINOX
This trial studies a more customized treatment plan for people with locally advanced rectal (bowel) cancer after they receive FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy. It aims to reduce tumor spread risk and improve outcomes by tailoring the next steps based on scan details and your health status.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for early onset colorectal cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 18 recruiting early onset colorectal cancer 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 early onset colorectal cancer 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 early onset colorectal cancer 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.
