Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate the following schedules for efficacy with regard to response rate in neoadjuvant treatment of patients with non-resectable liver metastases: - Cetuximab/FOLFOXIRI and cetuximab/FOLFIRI in patients with ras wild type tumours and - Bevacizumab/FOLFOXIRI and FOLFOXIRI in patients with ras mutant tumours.
To assess the safety and tolerability of OCV-C02 in Patients With Advanced or Relapsed Colorectal Cancer Who Are Refractory or Intolerant to Standard Chemotherapy
This is a prospective time-and-motion study to document and compare the time used in preparation, dispensing and administration for capecitabine/oxaliplatin (XELOX) versus IV 5-FU/leucovorin/oxaliplatin (FOLFOX4) regimens in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.
This is a study to collect and analyze tissue specimens from metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients for the development of a molecularly profiled tissue repository for the primary purpose of maintaining a patient registry for future clinical trials based on the molecular profile of the tumors. The main purpose of testing these tissue specimens is to identify genetic alterations or biomarkers associated with colorectal cancer such that if new agent(s) become available, particularly those that target these genetic alterations/biomarkers, participants may be offered the opportunity to take part in a National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) treatment protocol.
The study is intended to collect specimens to support the application of genome analysis technologies, including large-scale genome sequencing. This study will ultimately provide cancer researchers with specimens that they can use to develop comprehensive catalogs of genomic information on at least 50 types of human cancer. The study will create a resource available to the worldwide research community that could be used to identify and accelerate the development of new diagnostic and prognostic markers, new targets for pharmaceutical interventions, and new cancer prevention and treatment strategies. This study will be a competitive enrollment study conducted at multiple institutions.
This observational study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Avastin (bevacizumab) in combination with fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy in elderly patients (>/= 65 years of age) with newly diagnosed metastatic colorectal cancer. Patients will be followed until disease progression, death, withdrawal of consent, discontinuation of physician-patient relationship or study closure, whichever comes first.
Water-aided method for colonoscopy can be broadly subdivided into two major categories. Water Immersion (WI), characterized by suction removal of the infused water predominantly during the withdrawal phase of colonoscopy, and Water Exchange (WE), characterized by suction removal of infused water predominantly during the insertion phase of colonoscopy. Several studies showed that WE significantly reduces pain compared to WI and colonoscopy with traditional air insufflation (AI), increases the number of unsedated procedures and adenoma detection rate (ADR), in particular proximal ADR. This randomized controlled trial will be a direct comparison of Air Insufflation, Water Immersion and Water Exchange to test the hypothesis that WAC (particularly WE) would significantly decrease pain score during colonoscopy in diagnostic patients. Several other secondary outcomes will also be analyzed.

Several other secondary outcomes will also be analyzed.
Adequate bowel cleansing is important for a completeness of colonoscopy and detection of colon polyps. Inadequate bowel preparation leads to longer duration of colonoscopy and obscured mucosal visualization resulting in missed lesions. Bowel cleansing agents are simply classified into the large volume, iso-osmotic polyethylene glycol (PEG) based solutions or the small volume osmotically active agents, such as sodium picosulphate with magnesium citrate (SPMC). There are rare reports that compare directly conventional polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution and sodium picosulphate with magnesium citrate (SPMC) for bowel preparation in korea. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of different regimens of SPMC and PEG solution.
This is an open label, multi-center, Phase 2 study of BBI608 in combination with cetuximab, panitumumab or capecitabine in patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
