Turn unresectable liver cancer into operable colorectal cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment strategy to shrink or control colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver, with the goal of making it removable by surgery. If you qualify, it may offer a chance to move from “not operable” to “operable,” but it’s still experimental.
Regina, SaskatchewanAges 18–70 - NCT07125729Recruiting
Early cancer detection test for colorectal cancer
This trial uses two blood tests (Signatera and Haystack) to look for tiny bits of cancer DNA after surgery, to find out if the cancer comes back as early as possible. People with stage II, III, or IV colorectal cancer who have had or will have surgery to remove their tumor may join.
Goodyear, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07076823RecruitingPhase 1
Canagliflozin for MSI-H colorectal cancer
This trial tests a diabetes drug, canagliflozin, for people with a specific type of colorectal cancer (MSI-H). It's for those whose cancer has continued to grow after at least two standard treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for unresectable colorectal cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 221 recruiting unresectable 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 unresectable 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 unresectable 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.
