Recruiting studies
- NCT05059444Recruiting
Blood test to catch cancer early after treatment
This study looks for signs of cancer left in the body after treatment using a simple blood test (called a liquid biopsy). It aims to see if the test can catch cancer that might come back earlier than regular scans.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07802197Recruiting
Radiation before surgery for advanced rectal cancer
This trial compares giving radiation therapy before surgery versus going straight to surgery for people with advanced rectal cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body. It aims to see which approach may be better for controlling the cancer.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT04808323RecruitingPhase 1
MRI-guided radiation to help preserve organs in rectal cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a radiation treatment approach guided by MRI scans to help keep nearby organs functioning while treating rectal cancer. It is designed to find a safe, effective way to target the tumor and adjust treatment during the course of therapy.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06762405RecruitingPhase 3
Testing dostarlimab with short radiation for MSI rectal cancer
This trial tests a new approach: giving the immunotherapy drug dostarlimab along with a short course of radiation before surgery, with the goal of avoiding surgery in many patients. It is for people with a specific type of rectal cancer (MSI-H or dMMR) that has not spread to other organs.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT07458529RecruitingPhase 2
Chemoradiation plus immunotherapy with or without probiotics for rectal cancer
This trial tests adding an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab) and a probiotic to standard chemoradiation for locally advanced rectal cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see if the probiotic helps the treatment work better.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06793137RecruitingPhase 2
Antibiotics before surgery for advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests if taking antibiotics before standard treatment can improve outcomes for people with advanced rectal cancer that requires surgery.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06637462Recruiting
Studying standard treatment response before rectal cancer surgery
This study looks at how rectal cancer responds to the usual chemotherapy and radiation given before surgery. It aims to learn if certain molecular features of your tumor can predict how well it responds to treatment.
Middletown, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07200141RecruitingPhase 2
Boosting radiation before surgery for rectal cancer
This trial tests a new way of giving radiation therapy before surgery for rectal cancer. It uses a higher dose to the tumor during standard radiation to see if it can improve outcomes.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07339904Recruiting
Bowel Function After Rectal Cancer Surgery
This study follows people with rectal cancer who have surgery to remove part of the rectum. It looks at how bowel function changes over time, and whether different treatments before surgery affect recovery.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT07675967Recruiting
Blood Cell Changes During Cancer Treatment
This study is for people with solid tumors who are about to start chemotherapy or radiation. It looks at how these treatments affect blood cells and may help doctors understand changes in blood health over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07786493Recruiting
3D-printed internal radiation for rectal cancer
This study tests a new way to deliver internal radiation therapy (brachytherapy) to rectal cancer using a 3D-printed guide. It may help people who cannot have or do not want surgery, with the goal of preserving the rectum.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06854679Recruiting
MRI-guided radiation for rectal cancer
This trial tests a new way of giving radiation therapy for rectal cancer, using MRI scans to aim the radiation more precisely. It's for people who need chemotherapy and radiation before surgery, and it aims to make treatment more effective while reducing side effects.
Sutton, SurreyAges 18 years+ - NCT07750951RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy before surgery for advanced rectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs and chemotherapy given before surgery for a type of rectal cancer that has a specific genetic marker (MSI-H/dMMR). The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve the chances of successful surgery.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT03961776Recruiting
MRI to monitor treatment response in rectal cancer
This trial tests whether an MRI scan done during chemoradiation can help doctors track how rectal cancer treatment is working. It may improve how they measure response early so treatment planning can be better tailored.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05868226RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized cancer treatment study for advanced solid tumors
This study tests different treatments tailored to your cancer's biology. It aims to find which therapy might work best for you, potentially improving outcomes. You'd receive one of the study drugs, with close monitoring and support.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06850090RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two chemo drugs before radiation for rectal cancer
This trial tests if a newer chemo pill (TAS-102) works better than the standard pill (capecitabine) when given before radiation and surgery for rectal cancer. It is for people with stage II or III rectal cancer that has certain high-risk features.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT07549399RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation, Chemotherapy, and Immunotherapy for Rectal Cancer
This trial tests a combination of radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy drugs before surgery for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for patients with higher-risk disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06931808Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Fecal transplant with chemo, radiation, and immunotherapy for advanced colon cancer
This study tests a combination of fecal microbiota transplant, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy (sintilimab) for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach improves treatment outcomes.
Ningbo, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT04165772RecruitingPhase 2
Dostarlimab for locally advanced mismatch-repair deficient solid tumors
This Phase 2 trial studies dostarlimab (an immune therapy that targets PD-1) given before surgery or other initial treatment. It aims to shrink certain locally advanced cancers that have mismatch repair deficiency, potentially making treatment easier and improving outcomes.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07107815Enrolling by invitation
Predicting rectal cancer treatment response using MRI
This study uses advanced MRI scanning and computer analysis to predict how well rectal cancer might respond to treatments given before surgery. It may help doctors choose the best approach for you.

FAPI-guided radiation with cadonilimab and chemo for colorectal cancer spread to the abdomen
This trial tests a new combination treatment for colorectal cancer that has spread only to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum). It combines targeted radiation, an immunotherapy drug called cadonilimab, and standard chemotherapy to see if it can help control the disease better than current options.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07474103Recruiting
Chemo, radiation, and immunotherapy for high-risk rectal cancer
This trial tests a treatment plan that combines chemotherapy, radiation, and an immunotherapy drug before surgery for people with high-risk locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes.
WuhanAges 18–75 - NCT07221058RecruitingPhase 1
Adaptive radiation boost study for rectal cancer

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for rectal adenocarcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 58 recruiting rectal adenocarcinoma 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 rectal adenocarcinoma 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 rectal adenocarcinoma 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.
