This study looks at how well a combination of three drugs—capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and bevacizumab—works as a first treatment for elderly patients (70 and older) with metastatic colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this approach can delay c…

This study tests whether adding two targeted drugs (encorafenib and cetuximab) to standard immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) works better than immunotherapy alone for people with a specific genetic type of advanced colorectal cancer. About 107 participants with untreated, metastatic …

This study is observing 300 adults with metastatic colorectal cancer who are receiving a combination of two drugs (fluoropyrimidine and bevacizumab). The goal is to measure how long patients live and how long the cancer stays under control. The study is not testing a new treatmen…

This early-phase study tests a portable device that sends gentle electric fields to the liver, combined with chemotherapy and a targeted drug (bevacizumab), in people whose cancer has spread to the liver and stopped responding to standard treatments. The main goal is to find the …

This phase II study aimed to test two immunotherapy drugs (tiragolumab and atezolizumab) combined with targeted radiation in people with microsatellite stable (MSS) metastatic colorectal cancer, a type that typically doesn't respond to immunotherapy. The trial was withdrawn befor…

This pilot study aimed to see if adjusting the dose of the chemotherapy drug 5-FU based on its concentration in the blood could improve treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer. The study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants. It was designed for adults with metastati…

This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding anlotinib (a daily pill) to standard chemotherapy can help people with a certain type of advanced colorectal cancer live longer without the disease getting worse. About 748 participants with RAS/BRAF wild-type cancer that has spread will re…

This study tests a new drug, SX-682, alone and with the immunotherapy nivolumab, in people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. The cancer must have a RAS mutation and be microsatellite stable (MSS), which often makes it harder …

This phase 3 study tests whether a combination of trifluridine/tipiracil (a chemotherapy pill) and bevacizumab (a targeted therapy) works better than the current standard of capecitabine plus bevacizumab for people with metastatic colorectal cancer who are not healthy enough for …

This study was designed to test an experimental immunotherapy called AlloStim combined with a checkpoint inhibitor (avelumab) in people with advanced colorectal cancer that had stopped responding to multiple prior treatments. The trial was withdrawn before any participants were e…

This study tests two experimental drugs, AK112 and AK117, alone or together, in people with metastatic colorectal cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if the drugs can shrink tumors or slow the disease. About 254 participants will be enrolled, and the st…

This phase 3 trial compares two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab alone or with ipilimumab) against standard chemotherapy in 839 people with a specific genetic type of advanced colorectal cancer (MSI-H/dMMR). The goal is to see if the immunotherapies work better at stopping cancer g…

This study is testing a new imaging agent called 18F-FSPG to see if it can better detect liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) and other liver tumors compared to standard PET scans. About 110 adults with liver cancer or benign liver tumors will receive the tracer before their s…

This study tests whether an extra meeting with a team of doctors, a palliative care specialist, and a psychologist can help patients with advanced cancer feel less torn about their next treatment. 62 adults with metastatic lung, breast, colon, ovarian, or prostate cancer who need…

This study looks at whether changes in tumor DNA found in the blood (ctDNA) can predict if chemotherapy is working in people with advanced colorectal cancer that no longer responds to standard treatments. About 103 participants will give blood samples and have regular scans to tr…
