Ganzhou, JiangxiAges 18 years+ - NCT07398807RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Microneedling with chemo cream vs steroid cream for limited vitiligo
This study tests whether microneedling (tiny needles that prick the skin) combined with a chemotherapy cream (5-fluorouracil) works better than a strong steroid cream for treating vitiligo patches on a small area of the body. It's for people with limited vitiligo (covering no more than 10% of their body) who have not used other vitiligo treatments.
Chak Four Hundred Fifty-fourAges 4–70 - NCT07419464RecruitingPhase 2
Testing 5-FU for head and neck cancer that has returned

5-Fluorouracil injections with or without freezing for keloid scars
This trial tests two ways to treat keloids (thick, raised scars that grow beyond the original wound): injecting a medication called 5-fluorouracil alone, or combining it with cryotherapy (freezing). The goal is to see which approach works better for reducing pain, itching, and visible scarring.
Chak Four Hundred Fifty-fourAges 18–50 - NCT06096220Enrolling by invitationPhase 4

New drug plus standard chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial combines a new experimental drug (emavusertib) with standard chemotherapy (FOLFOX plus bevacizumab) for people with stage IV colorectal cancer who have not yet received chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and effective, potentially offering a new first-line treatment option.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06770582RecruitingPhase 2
Adding immunotherapy to radiation for bladder cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to radiation therapy works as well as or better than the usual chemotherapy given with radiation for a type of bladder cancer that has not invaded the muscle. It is for people whose cancer came back or has high-risk features and who would otherwise need to have their bladder removed.
Fayetteville, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06469944RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of drug combinations for stomach or esophagus cancer
This trial tests new combinations of drugs alongside standard chemotherapy for people with advanced stomach or esophagus cancer that has not been treated yet. It aims to see if these combinations can shrink tumors or slow down the cancer better than current options.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06997497RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Calderasib with other drugs for colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called Calderasib combined with targeted therapy or chemotherapy for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has a specific genetic change (KRAS G12C mutation). It may be an option for those who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04615013RecruitingPhase 1
NBTXR3 with chemoradiation for esophageal cancer treatment
This early-phase study tests adding NBTXR3 (a special treatment given into the tumor) to standard chemotherapy and radiation for esophageal cancer. The goal is to see if it can improve cancer control and to learn about safety and dosing.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07566156RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combination vs. radiation for bladder cancer preservation
This trial tests whether two drugs (enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab) work better than radiation with chemotherapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The goal is to treat your cancer while keeping your bladder instead of removing it.
Santa Barbara, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06928584RecruitingPhase 2
Shorter Radiation Plus Immunotherapy for Recurrent Rectal Cancer
This trial tests whether a shorter, higher-dose radiation course (hypofractionated) combined with immunotherapy works better than standard radiation for locally recurrent rectal cancer that hasn't spread elsewhere. It's for people who haven't had chemotherapy or recent pelvic radiation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06078709RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery radiation and chemo for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation combined with chemotherapy (FOLFOX) before surgery for esophageal or stomach-junction cancer. It aims to reduce side effects and still improve outcomes.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05651594RecruitingPhase 2
Propranolol with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding propranolol (a common blood-pressure/heart medicine) can improve outcomes when used with pembrolizumab plus standard chemotherapy. It is for people with advanced esophageal or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma that cannot be removed with surgery.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05378919RecruitingPhase 2
Testing new pre-surgery treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares a pre-surgery (neoadjuvant) treatment plan versus the standard plan for people with stage II–III rectal cancer. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safe before surgery.
KaunasAges 18 years+ - NCT05412082RecruitingPhase 1
Smart chemo and radiation plan for locally advanced rectal cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a “smart” total treatment plan using chemotherapy (chemo) and radiation before surgery for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and can work well while helping plan treatment based on your situation.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05062317RecruitingPhase 2
Blood test-guided chemotherapy after liver tumor removal
This trial uses a blood test (ctDNA, a sign of cancer cells shedding into the blood) to help guide chemotherapy after surgery to remove colorectal liver metastases. It may help patients get the right chemotherapy plan after their operation, potentially based on whether cancer material is still detectable.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03801876RecruitingPhase 3

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Fluorouracil?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 174 recruiting studies that include Fluorouracil, 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 Fluorouracil 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 Fluorouracil 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 Fluorouracil or a specific trial is right for you.
