After-surgery blood test–guided therapy for colon cancer liver spread

Colorectal CancerLiver MetastasesCirculating Tumor CellCancer, Therapy-Related

Treatments studied

Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.

This Phase 3 trial tests whether an added “maintenance” treatment after liver surgery can help prevent colorectal cancer from coming back. It is only for people whose blood test (ctDNA) still shows signs of cancer after their operation.

NCT05815082Recruiting· Phase 3
ctDNA-guided chemo after liver surgery for colon cancer

This trial checks whether giving chemotherapy after surgery only for people whose blood test (ctDNA) shows no remaining cancer can help prevent the cancer from coming back. It is for people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver who had the tumor fully removed.

NCT05797467Recruiting· Phase 3
After-surgery chemo plus targeted therapy for colon cancer

This Phase 3 trial studies whether adding targeted therapy to standard chemotherapy after surgery helps people with stage T3-4, N2 colon cancer live longer or have fewer cancer returns. You would be assigned to receive chemotherapy with targeted therapy or chemotherapy alone, based on the study plan.

NCT06280495Recruiting· Phase 2/Phase 3
Targeted drugs plus chemo before surgery for colon cancer with liver spread

This trial tests whether adding two targeted drugs (serplulimab and bevacizumab) to standard chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It is for those whose cancer has certain genetic features and is considered resectable.

Guangzhou, Guangdong
NCT05062317Recruiting· Phase 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.

NCT04687631Recruiting· Phase 3
Study drug for colorectal cancer that spread to the liver

This Phase 3 trial tests a treatment approach for colorectal cancer that cannot be removed with surgery at first but has spread only to the liver. It is intended for people whose tumor is RAS/BRAF “wild-type” and who are well enough to do daily activities, to see if the treatment can control the cancer better.

NCT05861505Recruiting· Phase 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.
