Phase 3 Trials
Small Molecule
MRTX849 + Cetuximab for Colorectal Cancer
Recruiting2 awardsPhase 3
San Diego, California
This trial is testing a new treatment for patients with colorectal cancer. The treatment combines two drugs that work together to block cancer growth and prevent its spread. One of the drugs has shown promise in treating other types of cancer as well.
Chemotherapy
ctDNA Testing for Colon Cancer Treatment Prediction
Recruiting1 awardPhase 2 & 3
San Diego, California
This trial tests how well ctDNA testing in the blood predicts treatment for patients with stage IIA colon cancer after surgery. ctDNA are circulating tumor cells that are shed by tumors into the blood. Finding ctDNA in the blood means that there is very likely some small amounts of cancer that remain after surgery. However, this cancer, if detected, cannot be found on other tests usually used to find cancer, as it is too small. Testing for ctDNA levels may help identify patients with colon cancer after surgery who do benefit, and those who do not benefit, from receiving chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy + Atezolizumab for Colon Cancer
Recruiting2 awardsPhase 3
San Diego, California
This trial is testing whether adding atezolizumab to standard chemotherapy works better than chemotherapy alone for patients with stage III colon cancer who have a specific genetic defect. The chemotherapy drugs aim to kill cancer cells, while atezolizumab helps the immune system attack the cancer. Researchers hope this combination will improve survival rates and quality of life for these patients.
Chemotherapy Tailored by ctDNA Status for Colon Cancer
Recruiting1 awardPhase 2 & 3
San Diego, California
This trial tests if a blood test for cancer DNA can help decide if colon cancer patients need more treatment after surgery. The test looks for cancer DNA in the blood to predict if the cancer might come back and to guide further treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
