Urine test to predict colorectal cancer treatment response
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses a special urine test to see if it can predict how well colorectal cancer responds to treatment. If you are about to start treatment before surgery, you may be able to join by giving urine samples before and during therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have locally advanced colorectal cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body
- You are scheduled to receive treatment (like chemo or radiation) before surgery
- You have not had any prior cancer therapy for this condition
- You are willing to provide urine samples for testing
- You do not have another cancer, a urinary tract infection, or serious kidney or liver disease

This study looks at how well rectal cancer responds to chemotherapy and radiation before surgery. It uses a genetic test on tumor tissue to predict whether the treatment will work for you.
This study watches for signs of leftover cancer after surgery using a blood test (MRD). It is for people with early-stage colon cancer who have not yet had any treatment other than surgery.
This study looks at whether testing a small tumor sample can identify which medicines are more likely to work for colorectal cancer after surgery. The results are used to help choose the best “after-surgery” treatment plan, when you have not had chemotherapy before surgery.
This study tests whether a simple urine sample can detect colorectal cancer or precancerous polyps. Researchers want to see if this non-invasive test could help identify people at risk before symptoms develop or catch cancer earlier.
This study looks for urine markers (proteins and metabolites) that may help predict how prostate cancer patients respond to treatment and what their outcomes are. You may be asked to give a urine sample and allow use of your medical and treatment details for analysis (results are not shared with you).
This study tests whether a simple blood test can track how well your colorectal cancer is responding to first-line chemotherapy. By monitoring cancer markers in your blood, doctors may be able to detect treatment changes earlier than traditional imaging.
