Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05962502RecruitingPhase 2
Cetuximab plus irinotecan for left-sided RAS/BRAF wild-type colon cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding cetuximab to irinotecan can control metastatic colorectal cancer that has returned or worsened after standard treatments. It targets people whose tumor is left-sided and shows “wild-type” RAS and BRAF genes on blood testing after prior therapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06023641RecruitingPhase 2
Liposomal irinotecan for children with rhabdomyosarcoma
This trial tests a new way to treat rhabdomyosarcoma using a targeted drug (liposomal irinotecan) based on the tumor's genetic makeup and risk group. It aims to improve outcomes for children and young adults with intermediate or high-risk disease.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Up to 22 years - NCT06184698RecruitingPhase 2
Liposomal irinotecan, chemotherapy, and bevacizumab for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of liposomal irinotecan, two chemotherapy drugs (leucovorin and 5-fluorouracil), and bevacizumab as a second-line treatment for people with colorectal cancer that has spread and cannot be removed by surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Irinotecan?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 189 recruiting studies that include Irinotecan, 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 Irinotecan 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 Irinotecan 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 Irinotecan or a specific trial is right for you.
