Recruiting studies
- NCT04014530RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing pembrolizumab plus ataluren for metastatic dMMR or pMMR cancer
This early-phase trial tests pembrolizumab combined with ataluren for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that has either dMMR or pMMR, and for metastatic dMMR endometrial cancer. The goal is to see whether this combination can shrink tumors or improve outcomes for cancers with specific mismatch repair (MMR) features.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05501353Recruiting
Study tumor biomarkers in recurrent metastatic colon cancer
This study looks for blood/tumor signals (“biomarkers”) that may help predict outcomes in people whose colorectal cancer returns and spreads after surgery. It mainly helps researchers understand who may do better or worse, which can guide future care.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–99 - NCT05360277RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance immunotherapy and chemo after surgery for metastatic colon cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies tislelizumab plus capecitabine given after surgery to help prevent metastatic colorectal cancer from coming back. It may be an option if you recently had surgery that removed visible disease and you have good overall health.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT01479608Recruiting
Liver transplant for colon or rectal cancer liver spread
This trial studies whether a liver transplant can help people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver (but not elsewhere). It aims to improve outcomes by removing the diseased liver when the cancer has responded to chemotherapy and can still be controlled.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT07850882Recruiting
Virus injection plus immunotherapy for advanced colorectal, stomach, or liver cancer
This study tests whether a special virus injected directly into tumors can help your body fight cancer when combined with an immunotherapy drug. It is for people with advanced colorectal, stomach, or liver cancer that has spread and who have tumors that can be reached for injection.
Guangdong, FoshanAges 18–75 - NCT04050345Recruiting
Blood test to spot DNA changes after early colon cancer surgery
This study checks a “cell-free tumor DNA” blood test to see if cancer mutations can predict relapse after surgery for early colorectal cancer. If results look risky, they may help guide closer follow-up and future treatment decisions.
Milton Keynes, BuckinghamshireAges 18 years+ - NCT05462236RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug AUM001 with immunotherapy or chemotherapy for metastatic colon cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests AUM001 (a targeted drug) combined with either pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) or irinotecan (a chemotherapy) in people with metastatic colorectal cancer. It aims to shrink tumors and improve outcomes when standard treatments have already been tried.
Camperdown, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06509126RecruitingPhase 3
Panitumumab with Chemo: Continuous or Intermittent for Advanced CRC
This trial compares giving panitumumab plus FOLFIRI (two chemotherapy drugs) either continuously or with breaks, as a first treatment for left-sided colorectal cancer that has spread. It's for people whose tumors have certain genetic markers (RAS/BRAF wild-type) and haven't had treatments for advanced disease before.
NaplesAges 18–100 - NCT07805551RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
HDM2017 combination therapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This study tests a new drug called HDM2017 in combination with other treatments for advanced colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07790510RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of HSK42360 with cetuximab for BRAF-mutated colorectal cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug (HSK42360-Na) combined with standard treatments (cetuximab with or without chemotherapy) for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has a specific BRAF mutation. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth, and to check its safety.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06551207Recruiting
New drug combo with radiation for advanced MSS colon cancer
This trial tests a new combination—an immunotherapy drug (cadonilimab) plus a targeted anti-angiogenesis pill (fruquintinib) and focused radiation (SBRT)—for people with MSS colorectal cancer that has progressed after at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if this triple approach can help shrink or control the cancer better than standard options.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT04680260RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized follow-up after limited surgery or radiation for colon cancer
This Phase 2 study tests the best way to choose and then follow treatment when colorectal cancer has spread only to a small number of spots. You may be eligible if your doctors can remove or precisely treat the spots and there’s no sign of additional spread on scans.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT07775287RecruitingPhase 3
Petosemtamab plus chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This study tests a new drug called petosemtamab combined with chemotherapy for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to one prior treatment. The trial aims to see if adding petosemtamab helps the cancer shrink or grow more slowly compared to adding a standard targeted therapy like cetuximab or bevacizumab.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07759921Recruiting
Mindfulness program for couples facing metastatic colorectal cancer
This study tests a mindfulness-based program for couples facing metastatic colorectal cancer. It aims to help reduce distress and improve coping for both patients and their partners.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–85 - NCT07724223RecruitingPhase 2
Combination targeted therapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (fruquintinib and a drug that targets EGFR) as a third-line treatment for people with a specific type of colorectal cancer that has not responded to previous therapies. It may offer a new option for patients whose tumors are 'wild-type' for certain genes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04547166RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New targeted immune drug plus bevacizumab and chemo for colon cancer
