Recruiting studies
- NCT03516708RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Epacadostat with pre-op radiation for locally advanced rectal cancer
This trial studies whether adding epacadostat (a cancer drug) to standard pre-operative chemoradiation can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. It’s designed to see if the added treatment is safe and potentially more effective before surgery.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05534087RecruitingPhase 3
Blood test guided chemo after colon cancer surgery
This study tests whether giving additional (adjuvant) chemotherapy based on a special blood test—circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)—can lower the risk of colon cancer coming back. It targets people with stage II–III colon cancer whose blood test is positive for minimal residual disease (MRD) after completing standard chemo.
BusanAges 19–75 - NCT07347951RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for rectal cancer patients who want to save their anus
This trial tests a combination of short-course radiation, chemotherapy, and two targeted drugs (Serplulimab and Bevacizumab) for people with a specific type of rectal cancer. It aims to see if this treatment can help shrink the tumor enough to avoid surgery and keep the anus.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT03125980RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo timing before vs after colon cancer surgery
This Phase 3 study compares two schedules of a colon cancer chemo combination: starting before surgery or starting after surgery. It aims to see which timing helps people live longer and lowers cancer coming back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05861505RecruitingPhase 3
Treatment for new liver spread from colon cancer recurrence
This Phase 3 trial studies a treatment approach for people whose colorectal cancer has come back in the liver within 12 months and can be treated with local procedures. It aims to see whether the study treatment can improve outcomes compared with standard care for people with a limited number of liver tumors.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06068023Recruiting
Chemotherapy after surgery for ampullary cancer
This study tests whether giving chemotherapy after surgery (adjuvant chemotherapy) helps prevent ampullary cancer from coming back. It is for people who have had their ampullary cancer completely removed and are in reasonably good health.
Brescia, BSAges 18–100 - NCT07294664RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combo trial for first treatment of advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (PD1/TGFβ), another targeted drug (SHR2554 or apatinib), and chemotherapy for people who have not yet been treated for advanced stomach cancer. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatments.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT05174169RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Adjuvant colon chemotherapy guided by tumor DNA results
This trial tests whether treatment for colon cancer after surgery can be guided by a blood test that looks for leftover cancer signals (ctDNA). It may help some people choose stronger or different chemo based on whether ctDNA is found after surgery.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06475352RecruitingPhase 2
Tailoring chemo dose for GI cancer patients low in a liver enzyme
This trial tests whether adjusting the dose of chemotherapy drugs (5-FU or capecitabine plus oxaliplatin) based on a liver enzyme test can improve safety and effectiveness for people with gastrointestinal cancer who are starting this type of chemo for the first time.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05008809RecruitingPhase 3
FIRE-9 trial: chemo after colon cancer metastasis removal
This trial studies whether giving chemotherapy after surgery or ablation (destroying spots of cancer) can improve outcomes in people with metastatic colon or rectal cancer. It compares post-treatment chemotherapy strategies to reduce the chance the cancer comes back.
AmbergAges 18 years+ - NCT07221357RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Pumitamig plus chemo vs standard care for new colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called Pumitamig combined with chemotherapy against standard bevacizumab plus chemotherapy for people with advanced colorectal cancer that cannot be surgically removed and hasn't been treated yet. The goal is to see which combination works better and is safer.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07315750RecruitingPhase 3
Study of three drugs vs standard care for HER2-high stomach cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (Disitamab Vedotin, Trastuzumab, and Tislelizumab) against standard chemotherapy plus Trastuzumab (with or without Pembrolizumab) for people with advanced or metastatic stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has high levels of HER2. The goal is to see if the new combination works better.
Beijing, BJ-BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT07221149RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Pumitamig vs Nivolumab for untreated stomach or esophagus cancer
This trial compares two treatments for people with advanced stomach, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal cancer that has not been treated before. One group gets pumitamig plus chemotherapy, the other gets nivolumab plus chemotherapy. The goal is to see which combination works better.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07327229RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of ATG-022 plus pembrolizumab for stomach or GEJ cancer
This trial tests a new drug combo (ATG-022 plus pembrolizumab, with or without chemo) for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has a specific protein (CLDN 18.2) and is HER2-negative and PD-L1-positive. It may be an option if you have not had certain prior treatments.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07118527RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for untreated advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a new combination of an anti-HER2 drug (SHR-A1811) plus chemotherapy and an immunotherapy (adebrelimab) for people with untreated advanced stomach cancer. It aims to see if this combination works better than standard treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying CAPOX chemotherapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 15 recruiting studies that include CAPOX chemotherapy, drawn from the U.S. registry and rewritten for real people so you can see what each is testing and who it's for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a CAPOX chemotherapy trial?
- Each study lists its own eligibility criteria — rules about condition, age, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Is CAPOX chemotherapy an approved treatment?
- A drug being studied in a trial may be investigational (still being tested) or already approved and being studied for a new use. Each study page explains what phase it's in. Clin2 does not provide medical advice — talk with your doctor about whether CAPOX chemotherapy or a specific trial is right for you.
