Chemo and immunotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding two types of immunotherapy (cemiplimab with either fianlimab or REGN7075) to standard chemotherapy is safe and effective for people with locally advanced rectal cancer that has not been treated before. It may help shrink the tumor enough to allow surgery that preserves the ability to control bowel movements.

Chemotherapy for colorectal cancer in patients 70+
This trial tests two chemotherapy drugs, capecitabine alone or with oxaliplatin, in people aged 70 or older after surgery for stage III colorectal cancer. The goal is to find out which treatment works better to prevent cancer from coming back.
Nizhny NovgorodAges 70–90 - NCT07255664RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TIL therapy for advanced colorectal or prostate cancer
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy that uses your own white blood cells (TILs) to fight advanced colorectal or prostate cancer. You will have surgery to remove a tumor, then your TIL cells are grown in a lab and given back to you along with other treatments to boost your immune system.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for locally advanced colorectal cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 283 recruiting locally advanced 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 locally advanced 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 locally advanced 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.
