Recruiting studies
- NCT06607458RecruitingPhase 2
Liver-focused chemo for metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests giving high-dose melphalan directly into the liver's blood supply, followed by standard cancer therapy, for people whose colorectal cancer has spread mainly to the liver. The goal is to see if this approach is safer and works better than standard treatment alone.

Study of zanidatamab for HER2-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a drug called zanidatamab in people with advanced solid tumors that have high levels of HER2 protein (called HER2-positive). It aims to see if zanidatamab can shrink or slow the growth of these tumors.
Prescott, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06698146Recruiting
Liver transplant for colorectal cancer that spread to the liver
This trial tests a special approach for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver: first removing the liver tumor, then doing a partial liver transplant, and later removing more liver tissue. The goal is to see if this can help people who otherwise have limited options.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06698757RecruitingPhase 2
Testing different cycles of sintilimab before surgery for colorectal cancer
This trial tests how many cycles of the immunotherapy drug sintilimab given before surgery help treat colorectal cancer that is mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) or microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H). It is for locally advanced cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body.
Zheng'zhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT06342440Recruiting
Early detection of colon cancer and advanced polyps
This study aims to find colorectal cancer and advanced polyps (adenomas) earlier by looking at blood samples. Researchers hope a simple blood test might one day help detect colon cancer before it spreads.
Monrovia, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07224815Recruiting
DNA markers to predict chemo response in advanced colon cancer
This study uses a blood test to look for specific DNA changes that may help predict how well chemotherapy works in people with metastatic colorectal cancer. The goal is to find markers that could guide future treatment decisions.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07224724Recruiting
Exosome liquid biopsy for colorectal cancer spread
This study uses a blood test to detect if colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver has also spread to other parts of the body. It may help doctors better understand how the cancer is moving and guide treatment decisions.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06710756RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lead-212 therapy for solid tumors
This trial tests a new radioactive drug, Lead-212 PSV359, for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The drug is designed to find and attack cancer cells.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–90 - NCT06714357RecruitingPhase 2
Valproic Acid to Boost Anti-EGFR in Colorectal Cancer

Study of three drugs for advanced colorectal cancer after first treatment
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (irinotecan liposomes, cetuximab, and vemurafenib) for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has a specific genetic change (BRAF V600E mutation) and did not respond to first treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.

This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (sintilimab), a targeted therapy (cetuximab), and chemotherapy as a first treatment for advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't spread or come back after earlier treatment. It's for people whose tumors have certain genetic markers (RAS/BRAF wild-type) and show signs of immune activity (PD-L1 or CD8+ TILs).

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.
