How activity level and daily function relate to cancer survival
This study looks at how physical activity (movement during the day) and a clinician-rated “day-to-day function” score relate to overall survival in people with certain cancers. It may help doctors understand who benefits most from activity-focused care and better monitoring.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02864485Recruiting
Living donor liver transplant for colorectal cancer spread to the liver
This trial looks at whether a living-donor liver transplant can help people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be surgically removed. It focuses on people whose cancer has not worsened on prior chemotherapy and who are medically able to undergo a major liver surgery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–68 - NCT06794086RecruitingPhase 3
SBRT and immunotherapy for colorectal cancer liver metastases
This trial combines targeted radiation (SBRT) with an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) to treat colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and can't be removed by surgery. It aims to help shrink or control tumors in patients whose cancer has a normal DNA repair system (pMMR/MSS).

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for unresectable colorectal cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 212 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.
