Recruiting studies
- NCT06801665RecruitingPhase 2
Fecal transplant plus immunotherapy and chemotherapy for colon cancer with liver spread

Shorter radiation with chemo and immunotherapy for high-risk colon cancer
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation combined with chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) for people with a specific type of high-risk colon cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor before surgery and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06364371Recruiting
Predicting rectal cancer treatment response using multi-omics
This trial is testing a new way to predict how well your rectal cancer will respond to treatments given before surgery. It uses advanced tests (like looking at genes and other markers) to tailor your care.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT03125980RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo timing before vs after colon cancer surgery
This Phase 3 study compares two schedules of a colon cancer chemo combination: starting before surgery or starting after surgery. It aims to see which timing helps people live longer and lowers cancer coming back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06931808Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Fecal transplant with chemo, radiation, and immunotherapy for advanced colon cancer
This study tests a combination of fecal microbiota transplant, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy (sintilimab) for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach improves treatment outcomes.
Ningbo, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT03452774Recruiting
AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT04215731RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo plus targeted drug before surgery for high-risk rectal cancer
This trial tests giving chemotherapy (mFOLFOXIRI) plus bevacizumab before surgery for rectal cancer that has higher-risk features. It aims to shrink or control the cancer early to improve outcomes after treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04570943RecruitingPhase 2
Pancreatic cancer treatment: chemo first, then targeted MRI-guided radiation
This Phase 2 trial tests giving specific chemotherapy in sequence, then using MRI-guided focused radiation to treat locally advanced, non-removable pancreatic cancer. It may help shrink or control the tumor while aiming radiation more precisely using MRI.
Marseille, Bouches-du-RhôneAges 18–75 - NCT05136326RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery chemo-radiation for rectal cancer without MGMT
This trial studies whether adding two chemotherapy medicines (capecitabine and temozolomide) to standard pre-surgery chemo-radiation can work better for people with locally advanced rectal cancer that has a specific tumor marker pattern (MGMT “silenced”) and is mismatch-repair proficient (MSS). It aims to shrink the tumor before surgery and improve cancer control.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05571644RecruitingPhase 2
Study compares two pre-surgery treatments for locally advanced rectal cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a newer combination chemotherapy plus an immunotherapy medicine (cadonilimab/AK104) works better than standard chemotherapy before surgery for locally advanced colorectal cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve how well treatment works after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05646511RecruitingPhase 3
New chemotherapy timing tests for locally advanced rectal cancer
This Phase 3 trial compares two chemotherapy combinations given with surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer. It aims to find out which approach works better and is safer for shrinking and controlling the cancer before or around the time of treatment.
ChibaAges 18 years+ - NCT05713903Recruiting
Compare keyhole versus open surgery for right colon cancer
This trial compares two surgical approaches—keyhole surgery versus open surgery—for right colon cancer. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for patients needing planned (elective) tumor removal.
LarissaAges 18–90 - NCT06014372RecruitingPhase 2
Envafolimab before surgery for advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests envalolimab (an immunotherapy) alone or with chemo (CAPEOX) before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer. It aims to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06028724Recruiting
Looking for cancer mutations using a blood test
This study uses a blood test (liquid biopsy) to find genetic changes in advanced solid tumors. It may help doctors choose the right treatment and monitor how well it works over time.
Aviano, PordononeAges 18 years+ - NCT06239194RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MdX2001 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, MDX2001, for people with advanced solid tumors that have spread. The study aims to find the best dose and see how well it works.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06254521RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab plus chemo before surgery for MSS rectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab) plus chemotherapy before surgery for people with a specific type of rectal cancer that has not spread to other organs. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor more effectively than standard treatment.

Chemotherapy before surgery for colon cancer in older adults
This trial tests whether giving 6 weeks of chemotherapy (FOLFOX) before surgery can help people aged 70 and older with locally advanced colon cancer. It aims to make treatment safer and more effective for older adults.
DijonAges 70 years+ - NCT06368141RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy before surgery for colon cancer
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy followed by an immunotherapy drug (a checkpoint inhibitor) before surgery helps shrink locally advanced colon cancer. It is for people with a specific tumor type (MSS and RAS mutation) who have not had prior treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06405139RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo combo (nanoliposomal irinotecan, oxaliplatin, capecitabine) before surgery for locally advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of three chemotherapy drugs (nanoliposomal irinotecan, oxaliplatin, and capecitabine) given before surgery to shrink locally advanced colorectal cancer that cannot be treated with radiation. The goal is to make the tumor removable with a better chance of complete removal (R0 resection).
BeijingAges 18–70 - NCT06673329RecruitingPhase 1
Brodalumab for immune-related side effects from cancer treatment
This trial tests if brodalumab, an antibody that blocks a specific immune pathway (IL-17), can help control side effects caused by immunotherapy cancer treatment. It is for people with advanced solid organ cancers who have immune-related side effects that are suspected to involve IL-17.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06682793RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of A2B395 therapy for solid tumors with EGFR and HLA loss
This trial tests a new cell therapy called A2B395 for cancers that have EGFR, a protein on the cell surface, and have lost a specific marker called HLA-A*02. The therapy uses specially engineered immune cells to target and kill these cancer cells. This may help patients with colorectal, lung, head and neck, breast, kidney, or other solid tumors that are no longer responding to standard treatments.
