Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06447727Recruiting
Y-90 beads plus chemo for liver-only colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding radioactive Y-90 microspheres (tiny beads that deliver radiation directly to liver tumors) to standard chemo (FOLFIRI and bevacizumab) can help people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread only to one lobe of the liver, when the first treatment stopped working. The goal is to slow down tumor growth.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07204574RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New drug combo for advanced colorectal cancer after first treatment
This trial tests a new drug combination for advanced colorectal cancer that has not gotten better with standard chemotherapy. It is for people whose tumors have normal RAS and BRAF genes, and it adds a new type of medicine (HCB101) to a common chemotherapy plus targeted therapy regimen.
TaoyuanAges 18 years+ - NCT05727163RecruitingPhase 2
Liver-directed chemotherapy versus standard chemotherapy for RAS-mutated CRC
This Phase 2 study tests whether delivering chemotherapy directly into the liver (with an IV medicine added, depending on the group) works better than standard chemotherapy given through a vein. It is for people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver but can’t be removed by surgery yet.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT06642844RecruitingPhase 3
Bevacizumab dose adjustment for colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether adjusting the dose of bevacizumab based on your blood levels can improve first-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer that can't be removed with surgery.
BesançonAges 18–99 - 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+ - 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.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - 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).
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT05787197Recruiting
Blood test to guide treatment after colon cancer liver surgery
This trial studies a blood test (called ctDNA) in people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver and is being removed with curative surgery. The goal is to see how the blood test can help with planning and improving treatment after surgery.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT05913674RecruitingPhase 2
Feasibility of modified chemotherapy after bowel surgery
This Phase 2 study tests whether a modified chemotherapy given inside the abdomen soon after surgery is practical and safe. It may help people with appendix or colon cancer that has spread within the abdomen (peritoneal carcinomatosis) by targeting cancer cells after tumor removal.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT05970705RecruitingPhase 2
Regorafenib plus TAS-102 versus regorafenib alone for advanced bowel cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding TAS-102 to regorafenib works better than regorafenib by itself for metastatic colorectal cancer after at least one prior treatment has stopped working. It aims to improve how long the cancer can be controlled for patients in later treatment lines.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06456515Recruiting
Regorafenib, sintilimab, and electroacupuncture for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (regorafenib and sintilimab) plus electroacupuncture for people with advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this triple therapy can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metastatic colorectal cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 540 recruiting metastatic colorectal cancer 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 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 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.
