Study biomarkers during curative-intent treatment for metastatic colon cancer
This study looks at biological markers (substances measured in the body) during treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer. It may help doctors better understand how treatment works, using patients who are treated with a goal of cure.
Lund, Skåne CountyAges 18–110 - NCT05771181RecruitingPhase 2
Test vitamin E plus two cancer drugs for metastatic colon cancer
This trial tests whether adding vitamin E to two cancer medicines (fruityquintinib and tislelizumab) can work better in people with metastatic colorectal cancer that is mismatch-repair stable (MSS). It may help if your cancer has grown despite standard treatment, and you can meet the study’s safety and blood/organ requirements.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05786924RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted cancer drug study for RAS/RAF mutation-positive tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests S241656 (a targeted cancer medicine) in people whose cancers have certain “RAS/RAF” gene changes. It may help shrink tumors or control cancer growth, and also finds the safest dose and best way to use the drug.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05797077RecruitingPhase 3
After-surgery blood test–guided therapy for colon cancer liver spread
This Phase 3 trial tests whether an added “maintenance” treatment after liver surgery can help prevent colorectal cancer from coming back. It is only for people whose blood test (ctDNA) still shows signs of cancer after their operation.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - 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.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05806931RecruitingPhase 2
Alternating two pills plus bevacizumab for advanced colon cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment plan that alternates two cancer pills and adds bevacizumab (a blood-vessel drug) for metastatic colon cancer that has come back or worsened after standard treatment. It may help shrink tumors and slow disease growth after later-line therapy options.
Elizabeth, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05815082RecruitingPhase 3
ctDNA-guided chemo after liver surgery for colon cancer
This trial checks whether giving chemotherapy after surgery only for people whose blood test (ctDNA) shows no remaining cancer can help prevent the cancer from coming back. It is for people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver who had the tumor fully removed.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05854498RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug combination for metastatic colon cancer with prior treatments
This Phase 2 trial tests a chemotherapy combination (liposomal irinotecan), along with TAS-102 and bevacizumab, in people with metastatic colon cancer. It may help if your tumor has mismatch repair–proficient features and you’ve already tried standard colon cancer drugs.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05908643RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
First test of pTTL for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests pTTL, a personalized cancer treatment made from your tumor and immune cells, in people with advanced (stage IV) colorectal cancer. It’s designed to see whether pTTL is safe and potentially effective when standard treatments have been used or can’t be used.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT05930496Recruiting
Exercise after colorectal cancer to change gut bacteria
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can improve the makeup of gut microbiota (gut bacteria) in people who have finished treatment for stage II–III colorectal cancer. It may help learn how exercise supports recovery, and it involves remote or in-person sessions with gut-focused tracking.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–70 - NCT05933876Recruiting
Radiation study for limited spread cancer
This trial looks at whether giving radiation treatment to tumors in people with a limited number of metastases can help control the cancer. It is for adults with certain cancer types that have spread to specific organs, and who can manage daily activities with little or no help.
Albacete, AlbaceteAges 18 years+ - NCT05954429RecruitingPhase 2
Study of fruquintinib plus immunotherapy after standard CRC treatment
This trial studies fruquintinib combined with serplulimab (an immune therapy) for advanced colorectal cancer that has spread and is no longer responding to standard treatments. It may help by slowing the cancer’s growth and improving outcomes after the usual options have been tried.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05959356RecruitingPhase 2
First-line treatment for left-sided metastatic colon cancer with specific tumor markers
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of medicines (cetuximab, envafolimab, and chemotherapy) as the first treatment for certain left-sided metastatic colorectal cancers. It may help by slowing or shrinking the cancer in people whose tumor has no RAS/BRAF mutations and is microsatellite-stable (MSS).
Foshan, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05962502RecruitingPhase 2
Cetuximab plus irinotecan for left-sided RAS/BRAF wild-type colon cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding cetuximab to irinotecan can control metastatic colorectal cancer that has returned or worsened after standard treatments. It targets people whose tumor is left-sided and shows “wild-type” RAS and BRAF genes on blood testing after prior therapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05985109RecruitingPhase 2
KN 046 plus regorafenib for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, KN 046 and regorafenib, in people with a type of advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to previous treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the tumor.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05985954RecruitingPhase 1
Ulixertinib with cetuximab for colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether the drug ulixertinib, combined with cetuximab (and sometimes encorafenib), can help people with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer who have already tried EGFR or BRAF-targeted therapy. It aims to find new treatment options for these patients.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05991102Recruiting
Radiofrequency treatment with Lonsurf and Avastin for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests if adding a special radiofrequency treatment to the drugs Lonsurf (TAS-102) and Avastin (bevacizumab) can help people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver and has not responded to previous treatments. It is for patients with limited options who have already tried at least two standard chemotherapy regimens.
