Recruiting studies in Illinois
- NCT05868226RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized cancer treatment study for advanced solid tumors
This study tests different treatments tailored to your cancer's biology. It aims to find which therapy might work best for you, potentially improving outcomes. You'd receive one of the study drugs, with close monitoring and support.
New Lenox, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05803382RecruitingPhase 1
Adding a new drug to capecitabine for metastatic colorectal cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a new anti-cancer drug (ZEN003694) added to the usual chemotherapy capecitabine. It is for adults with colorectal cancer (and possibly other cancers) that has spread or cannot be removed and has continued despite prior standard treatment.
Shiloh, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05691491RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Temozolomide plus M1774 for advanced metastatic cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial tests a combination of temozolomide and M1774 to see how safe it is and whether it can help shrink advanced cancers that have spread. It focuses on certain tumor types and specific biomarker results, and it may be an option if standard treatments have been tried or aren’t possible.
Shiloh, IllinoisAges 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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.
Arlington Heights, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04657068RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
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.
Hinsdale, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT03998202Recruiting
Study of chemotherapy side effects in older colorectal cancer patients
This study looks at how chemotherapy and immunotherapy affect the body in older adults with colorectal cancer, especially early side effects. It may help researchers understand why some people lose strength and how to better predict and manage treatment toxicity.
Bloomington, IllinoisAges 60 years+ - NCT06662786RecruitingPhase 3
Amivantamab plus chemo vs. standard chemo for left-sided colorectal cancer
This trial compares a new combination (amivantamab plus chemotherapy) with the standard treatment (cetuximab plus chemotherapy) as the first therapy for people with left-sided colorectal cancer that has spread. The goal is to see which approach works better when the tumor has no mutations in the KRAS, NRAS, or BRAF genes.
Arlington Heights, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05216432RecruitingPhase 1
RLY-2608 for PIK3CA-mutant advanced solid tumors and breast cancer
This early study (Phase 1) tests RLY-2608, a targeted cancer drug for tumors with a PIK3CA mutation. It studies the drug alone and combined with hormone therapy (and sometimes CDK4/6 or CDK4 medicines) to see safety, dose, and whether it can shrink tumors.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05283330RecruitingPhase 1
Tested 212Pb imaging drug for certain advanced GRPR tumors
This early-phase study tests how safe and tolerable an experimental radiation drug is for adults with certain advanced or metastatic cancers that show a target called GRPR. Doctors will also use special scans to confirm the tumor has the target so the treatment can be delivered to the right place.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07222800RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new drug plus chemo for stage 4 colorectal cancer
This study tests a new experimental drug (PF-08634404) combined with standard chemotherapy for people with stage 4 colorectal cancer who have not yet been treated for their advanced disease. The goal is to see if the combination helps shrink or slow the growth of tumors.
Arlington Heights, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06349590RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Diet before colon cancer surgery to reduce recurrence
This trial tests whether a specific diet before colon cancer surgery can change the bacteria in your gut to help prevent the cancer from coming back or spreading. Patients who are eligible will follow the diet for a short time before their operation.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05176483RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combinations for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called zanzalintinib, which may slow or shrink various types of advanced cancer. It is given together with other cancer treatments, and the study is looking at many different cancers including kidney, prostate, bladder, lung, liver, and more.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05005403RecruitingPhase 1
Testing azirkitug for lung, head/neck, and other solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests how a new medicine (azirkitug) behaves in the body and how safe it is, given by IV infusion alone or with other cancer drugs. It may help people with several advanced solid tumor cancers, especially after standard treatments have stopped working.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07169734RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
ALE.P03 for advanced CLDN1-positive solid tumors

Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05394103RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a targeted pill for hard-to-treat solid tumors
This trial tests a new medicine (Q901) that targets a specific cell-control pathway to treat advanced cancers that have stopped responding to standard care. It’s mainly for people with certain solid tumor cancers, aiming to see whether the drug can shrink tumors or control disease.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06218914RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new treatment for KRAS G12D cancers
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy (called TCR-T) that targets a specific genetic change (KRAS G12D) in advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It may be an option if your cancer has this mutation and you have a specific tissue type (HLA).
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06055439RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T cell therapy for GI cancers

Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06750094RecruitingPhase 3
Study of amivantamab plus FOLFIRI in colorectal cancer
This trial tests adding amivantamab to standard FOLFIRI chemotherapy for people with certain types of colorectal cancer that have already been treated once. It aims to see if this combination works better than another common treatment (cetuximab or bevacizumab plus FOLFIRI).
Arlington Heights, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06756035RecruitingPhase 1
Testing CT-95 in advanced cancers with mesothelin
This trial tests a new drug (CT-95) for advanced cancers that have a marker called mesothelin. It's an early-phase study to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06937177RecruitingPhase 2
Testing mifomelatide to help maintain weight during chemo
This trial tests an investigational drug called mifomelatide (TCMCB07) to see if it can help people with newly diagnosed colorectal or pancreatic cancer maintain a healthy weight while receiving certain types of chemotherapy. You would give yourself a daily injection under the skin.

What taking part in a metastatic colorectal cancer 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.
