Filter by:The standard or usual treatment for this disease is treatment with drugs and other treatments that may help to make a patient better or may improve their quality of life. This treatment is known as "best supportive care" (BSC). Although patients with best supportive care can feel better for some months, the cancer usually continues to grow.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether inreach and outreach strategies will be superior to usual care, and combination of both will be superior to either strategy alone.
Previous studies have shown that colorectal cancer patients' prognosis and overall survival was related with immune cell expression in patients' tissue. However, the circulating immune cell activity changes in patients' blood has few studies. The purpose of this study is to analyze the variation of circulating immune cell activity in colorectal patients' blood which is classed as clinical staging.
Patients with unresectable liver metastases (LM) from colorectal cancer (CRC)have a poor prognosis. In patients with resectable disease, surgery offers a distinct survival benefit. This study will offer live donor liver transplantation (LDLT) to select patients with unresectable metastases that are 1) limited to the liver and 2) stable (non-progressing) on standard chemotherapy. Potential participants will be evaluated for liver transplant suitability and must also have a willing, healthy living donor come forward for evaluation. Those participants who undergo LDLT will be followed for survival, disease-free survival and quality of life for 5 years and compared to a "control group" of participants who drop out of study prior to transplantation due to reasons other than cancer progression.
This study has two portions. The main goal of the Phase I portion of this research study is to see what doses of CB-839 and capecitabine can safely be given to patients without having too many side effects. Other purposes of this research study will be to determine what side effects are seen with this combination of medicines. The Phase II portion of the study will test how many patients show shrinkage in their tumor with this combination of medicines and what changes occur inside the cancer cells and blood cells after treatment.
This study aims to develop, implement and evaluate a care pathway for patients with cancer who are treated with oral anticancer drugs (OACD). The care pathway will be developed in six hospitals in Flanders, and will be adapted to the local setting and situation. The investigators hypothesize that the implementation of a care pathway will increase the quality of the drug therapy, the communication between health care professionals (HCPs) and patients, and will lead to an improved level of self-management and adherence. Moreover, the invesitgators hypothesize that the care pathway will facilitate the communication between HCPs in the hospital setting and in ambulatory care, and will improve counseling skills, self-efficacy and self-confidence of HCPs. At the end of the study, a roadmap for the nation-wide implementation of a similar care pathway will be constructed based on the experiences of the participating hospitals. This roadmap will certainly include an e-learning platform for healthcare professionals.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of the study drug prexasertib in combination with ralimetinib in participants with advanced or metastatic cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of an extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK1/2) inhibitor LY3214996 administered alone or in combination with other agents in participants with advanced cancer.
This study sought to find the health seeking behavior of patients with rectal bleeding as related to their risk to develop colorectal cancer and also assess the general practitioner's perceived barriers to colonoscopy for patients with bleeding per rectum.
Prospective, open labelled, multicenter trial to evaluate the feasibility of ex vivo culture 3D (chemogram obtaining) on biopsies in order to estimate the predictive value of this technique for treatment response in patients treated by two different chemotherapies (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) for colorectal cancer.
