La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 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 - NCT06024837Recruiting
Testing spectral CT for colorectal cancer spread to liver or belly
This study tests a new type of CT scan (spectral CT) to see how well it detects colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver or belly lining. It may help doctors better plan surgery to remove all the cancer.
Saint-EtienneAges Any age - NCT06349642Recruiting
Testing a live tumor test for immune therapy response
This trial uses a special test on live tumor samples to see if it can predict how well immune checkpoint inhibitors (a type of immunotherapy) will work for different cancers. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06265025RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
GM103 injection for advanced solid tumors that can't be removed
This trial tests an experimental drug called GM103 that is injected directly into tumors. It is for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments and cannot be surgically removed.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 18 years+ - NCT07527858RecruitingPhase 2
Study of Denikitug with immunotherapy or chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called denikitug, given alone or combined with other cancer treatments, for patients with advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't responded to previous treatments. The goal is to help people whose cancer has a specific genetic profile (MSS) that doesn't respond well to standard immunotherapy alone.
North Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07044908RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New drug combo for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called TQB2922 combined with TAS-102, with or without bevacizumab, for people whose advanced colorectal cancer has a normal RAS and BRAF gene and has not responded to standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can slow or stop cancer growth.
