Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the incidence of cardiovascular events in patients with esophageal/stomach or colorectal cancer treated by trifluridine/tipiracil +/- oxaliplatin after an episode of cardiac angina-related thoracic pain due to fluoropyrimidines in the adjuvant or metastatic setting .
This phase II, randomized pilot trial studies the effect of the consumption of foods made with resistant starch compared to foods made with corn starch on biomarkers that may be related to colorectal cancer progression in stage I-III colorectal cancer survivors. Foods made with resistant starch may beneficially influence markers of inflammation, insulin resistance, and the composition of gut bacteria in colorectal cancer survivors.
This is a dual arm, open label phase I/II study to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of the combination of durvalumab with CV301 in combination with maintenance chemotherapy for patients with metastatic colorectal or pancreatic cancer whose disease is stable on, or responding to 1st line therapy for metastatic disease. Patients with metastatic colorectal or pancreatic adenocarcinoma who still have an adequate performance status and normal hepatic and renal function will be eligible.
This randomized trial studies how well panitumumab, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil after combination chemotherapy and panitumumab induction work in treating patients with RAS wild type colorectal cancer that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes or other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as panitumumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving panitumumab, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil after combination chemotherapy and panitumumab induction may work better in treating patients with colorectal cancer.
Background: Colorectal cancer is a common cancer in the Unites States (U.S.) It causes the second most cancer-related deaths. The drug avelumab and vaccine Ad-CEA together help the immune system fight cancer. Objective: To test if avelumab and Ad-CEA plus standard therapy treats colorectal cancer that has spread to other sites better than standard therapy alone. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with untreated colorectal cancer that has spread in the body Design: Participants will be screened with: Test to see if their cancer has a certain deficiency Blood, urine, and heart tests Scans Medical history Physical exam Tumor sample. This can be from a previous procedure. A small group of participants will get Ad-CEA and avelumab plus standard therapy. This is leucovorin calcium (folinic acid), fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) plus bevacizumab for up to 24 weeks then capecitabine plus bevacizumab. The others will have treatment in 2-week cycles. They will be Arm A or B: Arm A: FOLFOX and bevacizumab by intravenous (IV) days 1 and 2 for 12 cycles. After that, capecitabine by mouth twice a day and bevacizumab by IV on day 1. Arm B: Ad-CEA injection every 2-12 weeks. Avelumab by IV on day 1 of each cycle. FOLFOX and bevacizumab by IV days 2 and 3 for 12 cycles. Then, capecitabine by mouth twice a day and bevacizumab through IV on day 2. Participants will repeat screening tests during the study. Participants will be treated until their disease gets worse or they have bad side effects. Arm A participants can join Arm B. They will have a visit 4 5 weeks after they stop therapy.
This phase I pilot trial studies the side effects of cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8)+ T cells in treating patients with gastrointestinal tumors that have spread to other places in the body. Tumor cells and blood are used to help create an adoptive T cell therapy, such as CD8+ T cell therapy, that is individually designed for a patient and may help doctors learn more about genetic changes in the tumor. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving CD8+ T cell therapy and pembrolizumab may work better in treating patients with gastrointestinal tumors.
Electrochemotherapy (ECT) is a non-thermal tumour ablation modality. It consists of the local potentiation, by means of local reversible electroporation of tumour tissues, of the antitumor activity of non-permeant or poorly permeant anticancer drugs already possessing intrinsic cytotoxicity. ECT has proved to be effective in the treatment of various cutaneous tumour nodules of any origin. Mostly ECT is offered to patients in case of multiple cutaneous metastases, when they cannot be excised, due to their number or localization. This study investigate the application of ECT in the treatment of liver metastases from colorectal adenocarcinoma, for which other thermal cytoreductive methods would be risky compared to the supposed expected clinical benefits.
This phase Ib trial studies the best way of TLR8 Agonist VTX-2337 and cyclophosphamide in treating patients with a solid tumor that has spread from the primary site (place where it started) to other places in the body (metastatic), progressed for a long time (persistent), come back (recurrent), or is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressed). TLR8 Agonist VTX-2337 may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving TLR8 Agonist VTX-2337 together with cyclophosphamide may be a better treatment for solid tumors.
The available data indicate that Ceritinib has substantial anti-tumor activity in patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and ROS1 rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This trial will investigate the potential of Ceritinib in patients with advanced gastrointestinal malignancies with ALK and ROA1 rearrangement, and for whom there is no available therapeutic option.
Background: - Some types of inflammation may increase the risk of cancers in the intestinal track. Because of this possibility, anti-inflammatory drugs may be able to prevent tumor growth and spread. One such drug, sulindac, may be helpful to study. Researchers want to see if people who are having surgery to remove intestinal tumors from advanced colorectal cancer will benefit from sulindac. It will be tested against a placebo. Objectives: - To see if sulindac can improve treatment outcomes in people who are having surgery for advanced colorectal cancer. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who are having surgery for advanced colorectal cancer. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood samples will be collected. Imaging studies and heart and lung function tests may also be given. - Participants will be separated into two groups. One group will take sulindac. The other will take a placebo. - Participants will take sulindac or placebo twice daily from about 2 to 3 weeks before the scheduled surgery. Seven days before the surgery, they will stop taking the pills. - Participants will have surgery to remove their tumors. The surgery will also remove affected organ tissue. - Participants will start to take the pills again once they have recovered from surgery. They will continue taking the sulindac or placebo twice a day for 3 years, or for as long as the tumors do not return.
