Recruiting studies in California
- NCT07318805RecruitingPhase 1
A study of PF-08032562 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new medicine, PF-08032562, for people with advanced breast or colorectal cancer that has not responded to prior treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and can help shrink or slow the cancer.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06917079RecruitingPhase 1
BBO-11818 for KRAS-mutated cancers
This trial tests a new oral drug (BBO-11818) for people with solid tumors that have a specific KRAS mutation. It's for those whose cancer has spread or cannot be removed by surgery and who have not had other cancers recently.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06342440Recruiting
Early detection of colon cancer and advanced polyps
This study aims to find colorectal cancer and advanced polyps (adenomas) earlier by looking at blood samples. Researchers hope a simple blood test might one day help detect colon cancer before it spreads.
Monrovia, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06324357RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Zongertinib for HER2-positive cancers that have spread
This trial tests a new pill called zongertinib, alone or with other drugs, for people with HER2-positive cancers (like breast, stomach, or colorectal cancer) that have spread and are no longer responding to standard treatments. The goal is to find the best dose and see if it can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Cerritos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06336902RecruitingPhase 1
Immunotherapy plus fasting diet and vitamin C for KRAS-mutated colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (botensilimab and balstilimab) plus a fasting-mimicking diet and high-dose vitamin C for people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer (KRAS-mutated). It aims to see if this approach can help when standard treatments have stopped working.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06102902RecruitingPhase 1
New drug added to chemotherapy for BRAF-mutated colorectal cancer
This trial combines a new drug called ZEN003694 with two standard chemotherapy drugs (cetuximab and encorafenib) to see if it can help people with a specific type of colorectal cancer that has the BRAF V600E mutation. This mutation makes the cancer grow, and the new drug targets it, potentially making the treatment more effective.
Costa Mesa, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05673148RecruitingPhase 2
Adding targeted tumor treatment to standard therapy for limited metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding a precise, targeted treatment to destroy remaining cancer spots (called total ablative therapy) after initial chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with limited metastatic colorectal cancer. It aims to see if this extra treatment is safe and effective.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04221893Recruiting
Radiation therapy for metastatic gastrointestinal cancers
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy to your current immunotherapy can help control cancer that has spread in the digestive system. It aims to improve symptoms and possibly slow the cancer's growth.
Walnut Creek, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06778863RecruitingPhase 1
A study of CLSP-1025 for adults with certain solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called CLSP-1025 for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific change in the p53 gene (R175H). The drug targets this change to help fight the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07595874RecruitingPhase 2
New Immunotherapy Drugs Before Surgery for Advanced Colorectal Cancer
This trial tests two immunotherapy drugs (botensilimab and balstilimab) given before surgery to treat advanced colorectal cancer that can be removed. The goal is to help the immune system fight cancer cells and improve outcomes after surgery.
Corona, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04929223RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted drug study for metastatic colon or rectal cancer
This Phase 1 study tests targeted cancer treatments in people with metastatic colorectal cancer, using genetic “biomarker” results to match you to the right treatment group. It focuses first on safety, and also looks for early signs the treatment may work in specific tumor subgroups.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05379595RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Amivantamab for advanced colon or rectal cancer with specific tumor traits
This Phase 1/2 study tests amivantamab alone or combined with standard chemotherapy to treat advanced or metastatic colon or rectal cancer. You may be able to join if your tumor has the right genetic profile (typically “wild-type” for certain genes and no HER2 amplification) and your cancer has measurable or biopsy-able lesions.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07221357RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Pumitamig plus chemo vs standard care for new colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called Pumitamig combined with chemotherapy against standard bevacizumab plus chemotherapy for people with advanced colorectal cancer that cannot be surgically removed and hasn't been treated yet. The goal is to see which combination works better and is safer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06252649RecruitingPhase 3
Study of new drug combo for KRAS G12C colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (sotorasib, panitumumab, and FOLFIRI) against the standard treatment for colorectal cancer that has spread. It's for people whose tumor has a specific KRAS G12C mutation and who have not had chemotherapy before for advanced disease.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07529808RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New Drug BHB810 for Advanced Stomach Cancer
This trial tests a new drug called BHB810 for gastric (stomach) and gastroesophageal junction cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments or has no standard options available. The drug targets a protein called CDH17 found on cancer cells and may help slow or shrink the tumor.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07535112RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced colorectal cancer with KRAS G12D mutation
This trial tests an experimental drug (BAY 3771249) for people with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer that has a specific genetic change called KRAS G12D. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and if it can help shrink tumors.

Study of ART0380 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called ART0380 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It may be especially helpful for those with certain DNA repair gene changes (like ATM or BRCA). The drug will be given alone or with chemotherapy (gemcitabine or irinotecan) depending on the part of the trial.

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05253651RecruitingPhase 3
Tucatinib plus trastuzumab with chemo for HER2+ metastatic colon cancer

What taking part in a metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
