Phase 3 Trials
Chemotherapy
Vitamin D3 + Chemotherapy + Bevacizumab for Colorectal Cancer
Recruiting2 awardsPhase 3
Hot Springs, Arkansas
This trial is testing if vitamin D3 along with regular cancer drugs and another drug that helps the immune system can better treat colorectal cancer that has spread. Vitamin D3 may help the body use essential minerals, making the cancer drugs more effective. Vitamin D3 has been shown to slow down cancer cell growth and help them mature, and it has been effective in reducing intestinal tumors in animal studies.
Chemotherapy
ctDNA Testing for Colon Cancer Treatment Prediction
Recruiting1 awardPhase 2 & 3
Hot Springs, Arkansas
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.
Kinase Inhibitor
Encorafenib + Cetuximab for Colorectal Cancer
Recruiting2 awardsPhase 3
Houston, Texas
This trial is testing a new combination of drugs to treat colorectal cancer that has spread and has a certain type of abnormal gene. The new combination is encorafenib plus cetuximab, which will be taken either alone or with standard chemotherapy.
Small Molecule
MRTX849 + Cetuximab for Colorectal Cancer
Recruiting2 awardsPhase 3
Houston, Texas
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.
Trials With No Placebo
CAR T-cell Therapy
IDE196 Combinations for Solid Tumors
Recruiting1 awardPhase 1 & 2
Houston, Texas
This trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of a new drug, IDE196, for patients with solid tumors that have a specific gene mutation. The trial has three parts. First, they will test different doses of the drug to see what is safe and what the side effects are. Second, they will test the drug combination with binimetinib to see if it is effective and has any new side effects. Third, they will test the drug combination with crizotinib to see if it is effective and has any new side effects.
Monoclonal Antibodies
Zanidatamab + Chemotherapy for Gastrointestinal Cancers
Recruiting1 awardPhase 2
Houston, Texas
This trial is testing a new cancer drug, zanidatamab, to see if it is safe and effective for treating certain types of gastrointestinal cancers. Eligible patients have cancer that has spread and cannot be removed by surgery.
Monoclonal Antibodies
Fc-Engineered Anti-CTLA-4 Monoclonal Antibody for Advanced Cancer
Recruiting1 awardPhase 1
Houston, Texas
This trial is testing two new drugs that help the immune system fight cancer. It targets adults with advanced cancers that haven't responded to other treatments. The drugs work by blocking proteins that usually prevent the immune system from attacking cancer cells.
XL092 + Immunotherapy for Cancer
Recruiting1 awardPhase 1
Houston, Texas
This trial is testing a new drug called XL092 by itself and with two other drugs, atezolizumab and avelumab. It targets patients with advanced solid tumors who may not respond to current treatments. XL092 aims to stop cancer cells from growing, while atezolizumab and avelumab help the immune system fight the cancer. Atezolizumab is approved for various cancers, including breast and urothelial carcinoma, and has shown efficacy in combination with chemotherapy.

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.
