Recruiting studies
- 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.

Omaha, NebraskaAges 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.

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 - NCT06369259RecruitingPhase 2
Study of avutometinib, defactinib, and cetuximab for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if combining these drugs can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.

Fruquintinib, adebrelimab, and radiation for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (fruquintinib and adebrelimab) plus low or high dose radiation for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Ningbo, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07446322RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new drug plus standard chemo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests if adding the experimental drug pelareorep to standard chemotherapy (FOLFIRI) and bevacizumab can help people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer that has a RAS mutation and is not caused by high microsatellite instability. You may be able to join if you've already tried one type of chemotherapy and it stopped working or you couldn't tolerate it.
Homewood, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07012954RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
ctDNA-guided treatment for RAS/BRAF wild-type colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—cetuximab or bevacizumab plus a chemotherapy pill (trifluridine/tipiracil)—for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that has no RAS or BRAF mutations. It's for patients whose cancer grew after first responding to cetuximab, and who have had other treatments since then.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07172282RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Immunotherapy for colorectal cancer liver metastases
This trial tests a new way to deliver immunotherapy directly into the liver for people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors before surgery, and it may be an option if you've already had standard chemotherapy.
Lake Success, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06321081RecruitingPhase 2
Rechallenge combo for metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (cetuximab, irinotecan, and envafolimab) as a ‘rechallenge’ – meaning if you had good results with cetuximab or irinotecan before, trying them again with a new drug might help shrink or control your cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05705492RecruitingPhase 2
Olanzapine to help cancer-related weight and appetite loss
This Phase 2 trial tests whether olanzapine can help people with advanced cancer who are losing weight and not eating enough. It looks for improvements in appetite and weight while you receive your first-line palliative cancer treatment.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06948448RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment for advanced colorectal cancer with PD-L1 biomarker
This trial tests a new drug (ONO-4578) combined with standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has not been treated before and has a specific marker called PD-L1. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the usual treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04547166RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New targeted immune drug plus bevacizumab and chemo for colon cancer
This trial studies serplulimab (an immune-related drug) together with bevacizumab and chemotherapy to treat metastatic colorectal (colon) cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to see whether this combination improves outcomes and is safe.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06792695RecruitingPhase 2
Study of new treatments for colorectal cancer
This trial tests new treatment combinations for colorectal cancer that has spread (metastatic). It is for people whose cancer is mismatch repair proficient (pMMR) or microsatellite stable (MSS) and who have not had previous treatment for metastatic disease.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–130 - NCT05007132RecruitingPhase 2
First-line metastatic colon or rectal cancer study with targeted drugs
This Phase 2 trial compares two treatment combinations as a first treatment for metastatic (spread) colon or rectal cancer. It looks to see whether one combo works better or is safer than the other.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05008809RecruitingPhase 3
FIRE-9 trial: chemo after colon cancer metastasis removal
This trial studies whether giving chemotherapy after surgery or ablation (destroying spots of cancer) can improve outcomes in people with metastatic colon or rectal cancer. It compares post-treatment chemotherapy strategies to reduce the chance the cancer comes back.
AmbergAges 18 years+ - NCT05229003RecruitingPhase 2
Irinotecan, anlotinib, and pembrolizumab-like drug for advanced colon cancer
This Phase 2 study tests adding anlotinib and penpulimab to irinotecan for colorectal cancer that has come back or spread after earlier chemotherapy. It may help shrink tumors and control the disease when standard first-line treatment no longer works.

Pump-delivered therapy plus chemo for liver-metastatic cancers
This phase 2 study tests a liver-targeted medicine delivered through a special implanted pump, combined with standard chemo, for cancers that spread mainly to the liver. It may help control tumor growth in the liver and improve outcomes compared with standard treatment alone.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05299840Recruiting
Test a device to choose the first chemo for metastatic colon cancer
This study tests whether using the Oncogramme® device to guide the first-line treatment improves care for people with metastatic colorectal (colon/rectum) cancer. If the device helps pick the most suitable standard chemotherapy plan, it could lead to better outcomes than choosing without it.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT05310643RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab and ipilimumab for bowel cancer resistant to anti-PD1
This Phase 2 study tests two immunotherapy medicines (nivolumab and ipilimumab) in people with metastatic colorectal cancer that has not responded to anti-PD1 treatment. It focuses on tumors with mismatch repair problems (dMMR) and/or high microsatellite instability (MSI).

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metastatic colorectal cancer (mcrc)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 75 recruiting metastatic colorectal cancer (mcrc) 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 colorectal cancer (mcrc) 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 colorectal cancer (mcrc) 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.
