Recruiting studies
- NCT05585814RecruitingPhase 2
New chemo plus immunotherapy before rectal surgery
This trial tests a combination of chemo, a medicine that blocks blood vessel growth, and an immune checkpoint drug given before rectal cancer surgery. It’s for people with locally advanced rectal cancer without distant spread, to try to shrink the tumor and improve surgical results.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05601505RecruitingPhase 2

Immunotherapy plus chemo before surgery for RAS-mutated colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) plus targeted therapy (bevacizumab) and chemotherapy (CapeOX) given before surgery for a specific type of locally advanced colorectal cancer. It is designed for patients whose tumors have a RAS mutation, are BRAF normal, and are microsatellite stable.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06154538RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo vs. chemo alone for advanced colorectal cancer before surgery
This trial tests whether adding immunotherapy (a treatment that helps your immune system fight cancer) to standard chemotherapy before surgery works better than chemotherapy alone for people with locally advanced colorectal cancer.

Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06073431Recruiting
Study on weight loss types in advanced cancer
This study looks at different types of weight loss (cachexia) in people with advanced lung, pancreatic, or colorectal cancer. Researchers want to find patterns to better understand and treat it. You can join even if you haven't lost weight yet.
Fort Smith, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06265285RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab at home vs. clinic for cancer treatment
This study compares giving the immunotherapy drug nivolumab as a shot under the skin at home versus in the clinic. It is for people with certain cancers who are already taking or starting nivolumab.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06307548RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Image-guided surgery and light therapy for colorectal cancer
This trial tests a special dye that helps surgeons see tumors more clearly during surgery, followed by a light therapy to destroy any remaining cancer cells. It is for people with advanced or returning colorectal cancer who are already scheduled for surgery.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06440005RecruitingPhase 1
Testing AGX101 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called AGX101 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06462183RecruitingPhase 1
Study of RGT-61159 for Advanced ACC or CRC
This trial tests a new drug called RGT-61159 for adults with adenoid cystic carcinoma or colorectal cancer that has returned or stopped responding to treatment. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective in shrinking tumors.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for locally advanced colorectal carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 150 recruiting locally advanced colorectal carcinoma 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 carcinoma 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 carcinoma 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.
