Recruiting studies
- NCT07381764RecruitingPhase 2
Rechallenge with targeted drugs for certain colorectal cancers
This study tests a new approach for people with a specific type of metastatic colorectal cancer that has stopped responding to initial treatments. It compares reusing a targeted drug combination (irinotecan plus cetuximab) versus a different chemotherapy plus a targeted drug (trifluridine/tipiracil plus bevacizumab) to see which works better for patients whose tumors have a certain genetic profile.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for refractory metastatic colorectal cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 67 recruiting refractory 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 refractory 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 refractory 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.
