A safety trial of trifluridine/tipiracil for DPD-deficient patients
This trial tests a chemotherapy drug (trifluridine/tipiracil) in people with metastatic colorectal or gastroesophageal cancer who have a DPD deficiency. DPD deficiency means your body may have trouble breaking down certain chemotherapy drugs, which can lead to serious side effects. This study aims to see if this drug is safe and effective for you.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06265285RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab at home vs. clinic for cancer treatment
This study compares giving the immunotherapy drug nivolumab as a shot under the skin at home versus in the clinic. It is for people with certain cancers who are already taking or starting nivolumab.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06275958RecruitingPhase 3
Lower starting chemo dose for older adults with metastatic colorectal cancer
This study tests whether starting with a lower dose of chemotherapy works as well as the standard dose for people aged 70 and older with metastatic colorectal cancer. The goal is to find a treatment that is effective but gentler, with fewer side effects.
's-HertogenboschAges 70 years+ - NCT06298916RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of 64Cu-LNTH-1363S in Sarcoma or GI Cancer
This trial tests a new imaging agent, 64Cu-LNTH-1363S, to see if it can find certain sarcomas and gastrointestinal cancers. The goal is to help doctors better see where your cancer is and plan the best treatment. You may be eligible if you have a sarcoma or a GI cancer and are willing to have a tumor tissue sample taken.

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.
