Vitória, Espírito SantoAges 18 years+ - NCT06853496RecruitingPhase 1
RK-582 for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new type of pill called RK-582 that may help block the growth of colorectal cancer cells. It is for people whose cancer has spread and hasn't gotten better with other treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metastatic cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,877 recruiting metastatic 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 metastatic 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 metastatic 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.
