Filter by:The purpose of this study is to study samples of rectal mucosa (the moist lining of the rectum) using a new light scattering technology, called partial wave spectroscopy (PWS) in patients who will undergo a standard of care colonoscopy or a flexible sigmoidoscopy and have a history of ulcerative colitis (UC).
This study is designed to confirm that first 3 months of oxaliplatin in 6 months of modified FOLFOX-6 or CAPOX treatment is not inferior to 6 months of oxaliplatin in modified FOLFOX-6 or CAPOX treatment in terms of disease free survival in patients with stage II/III colon cancer.
Black men constitute the demographic group with the greatest burden of premature death and disability from hypertension (HTN) in the United States. But while the disproportionately high rate of hypertension-related morbidity and mortality is well documented, the epidemic of colorectal cancer (CRC) among black men is comparatively under-appreciated. For example, CRC is a leading cause of cancer death in black men with a death rate 50% higher than in white men. Low rates of screening for CRC in this population contribute significantly to this problem. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to evaluate the effect of a lifestyle intervention delivered through telephone-based motivational interviewing (MINT) versus a patient navigation intervention on blood pressure reduction and CRC screening.
The purpose of this study is to look at the importance of L-Arginine in the digestive tract. L-Arginine is an amino acid and is important in making proteins within the cell. The evaluation of colon tissue, blood, urine, diet, health history, and symptoms will help us learn more about L-Arginine and ulcerative colitis. The investigators believe these studies will provide new insights into the treatment for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (ulcerative colitis) and nutritional needs. The investigators plan to enroll 200 participants in this study over the next two years.
The aim of the study is the comparison of pouch function with two different sizes of limb of transverse coloplasty pouch after rectal resection and total mesorectal excision.
This is a first-in-man, phase I clinical research study with BKM120, a potent and highly specific oral pan-class I phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor. The study consists of a dose escalation part followed by a MTD expansion part. Once the MTD has been defined, the MTD expansion part will be opened for enrollment.
This is a double blinded randomized controlled trial in patients undergoing colon open surgery. The purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness of two different analgesic techniques on functional recovery after surgery. Twenty five patients will receive thoracic epidural analgesia plus patient controlled analgesia (PCA) (epidural analgesia group) and 25 patients wound infiltration of local anesthetic plus PCA (wound infusion group). Hypothesis: the postoperative recovery of patients receiving local anesthetic wound infusion will be faster than patients receiving thoracic epidural analgesia. Functional recovery, pain intensity, opioid consumption and side effects, length of hospital stay and biological markers of inflammation after surgery will be measured in both groups.
This is a Phase I study of Perifosine + Capecitabine for patients with advanced colon cancer.
The recent introduction of robotic surgical system has revolutionized the field of minimally invasive surgery. The investigators hypothesized that adoption of a robotic surgical system for patients with right-side colon cancer seems appealing because This system provides high-definition three-dimensional vision, eliminates physiologic tremor, and better ergonomics. This randomized controlled trial was designed to determine the safety and efficacy of robotic right hemicolectomy in comparison with laparoscopic right hemicolectomy.
This is a Phase I study; dose escalating the combination of pazopanib when taken daily and ixabepilone when administered on day 1 of a 3 week treatment course.
