Filter by:In this study, participants with multiple types of advanced (unresectable and/or metastatic) solid tumors who have progressed on standard of care therapy will be treated with pembrolizumab (MK-3475).
The primary endpoint is to evaluate the Median disease progression free survival (mPFS).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CAR-T cell immunotherapy in patients with MUC1 positive relapsed or refractory solid tumor.
The aim of this study is to identify the effect of adjunctive metformin on recurrence of non-DM Stage II High-risk/ III colorectal cancer. This study is open-label randomized controlled study. The primary endpoint is to compare the 3-year disease free survival between metformin group and non-metformin group. The secondary endpoint is to compare the 5-year overall survival and disease specific survival between two group, to identify the safety of metformin, and to compare the recurrence rate of polyps after polypectomy between two groups.
Prospective, open-label, dose-ranging, uncontrolled phase I/II study of Lurbinectedin in combination with irinotecan. The study will be divided into two stages: a Phase I dose escalation stage and a Phase II expansion stage.
The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a home-based walking and strengthening intervention on physiological, biochemical and psychological outcomes in colo-rectal cancer survivors. The intervention consists of a 12-week home-based walking and strengthening programme for colo-rectal cancer survivors post any anti-cancer treatment. It aims to gradually increase participants physical activity levels so that they start achieving the recommended levels of at least 150 minutes moderate intensity aerobic activity per week and strengthening exercise for all major muscle groups at least twice per week. As well as usual care, the intervention group will receive weekly telephone calls and a behaviour change interview at baseline. Participants will be recruited from the Cancer Centre at the Belfast City Hospital. Assessments will be taken at baseline (0 weeks), post intervention (12 weeks) and also at a 3-month follow-up (24 weeks). The control group will receive the same assessments at the same time-points however they will continue to receive usual care with the intervention information (including pedometer, exercise booklet, diary and behavioural change interview) being given at the 3-month follow-up appointment.
Background: Evidence of high quality has suggested that acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)/aspirin effectively reduces colorectal adenoma incidence and recurrence rate, and several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) strongly indicate its potential to prevent colorectal cancer (CRC) initiation and progression and to decrease cancer-related mortality. However the role of aspirin supplied as an adjuvant agent in postsurgical CRC patients remains obscure, and a RCT is warranted for clarification. Aim: The APREMEC trial aims to investigate the potential preventative role of enteric-coated aspirin (100 mg and 200 mg daily) against postsurgical recurrence and metastasis among Asian CRC patients. Design: The investigators hypothesize that this large-scale multicenter randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial will support that aspirin can reduce recurrence and metastasis and improve survival in postsurgical non-metastasized CRC patients. The primary endpoint of this trial is disease-free survival, and the secondary endpoints are 3-year and 5-year overall survival, the interactive effects of lifestyle including smoking and alcohol ingestion, and adverse event rate. Eligible postoperative patients with non-metastasized CRC will be randomized in this trial to 100 mg aspirin, 200 mg aspirin or placebo until recurrence/metastasis, severe adverse event, death, or end of study, after standard adjuvant therapy. Individuals with peptic ulcer, bleeding tendency, or previous or ongoing treatment with aspirin or other anticoagulants will be excluded from this trial. Stratification factors are gender, study center, cancer site, and tumor stage. After randomization, patients will be followed up with evaluations at a 3-month interval while taking study drug. Discussion: This study aims at investigation of aspirin's role as an adjuvant agent in prevention of postsurgical CRC recurrence and metastasis. If results turn out to be positive, Asian and global CRC patients will be greatly benefited, due to the fact that aspirin is inexpensive, easily-accessible, and simply-administered, with well know and managed adverse events.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best way to give personalized peptide vaccine in patients with pancreatic or colorectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced). Personalized peptide vaccine is a vaccine developed from patient's own tumor cells and blood in order to use as a biological therapy. Biological therapies, such as personalized peptide vaccine may attack tumor cells and stop them from growing or kill them.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and one year disease-free survival of total or subtotal colectomy and proctocolectomy in stage IIIc and stage IV epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer (EOC, FTC, PPC).
There is a paucity of data on the histopathological response of peritoneal tumor deposits from colorectal cancer to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Particularly, no prospective assessment of chemotherapy-associated histopathological response within the peritoneum has been performed so far. Therefore, there is an urgent need to conduct a clinical trial aimed at prospectively assessing the histopathological response within the peritoneum in patients with peritoneal metastasis from colorectal cancer. Recently, Loupakis et al. reported that the triplet regimen of 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and irinotecan (FOLFOXIRI) in combination with bevacizumab significantly improved median progression-free survival in metastatic colorectal cancer patients from 9.7 to 12.1 months as compared with fluorouracil, leucovorin, and irinotecan (FOLFIRI) + bevacizumab. In view of these data, it is likely that FOLFOXIRI + bevacizumab will also lead to a significant improvement of the histopathological response within the peritoneum of patients with peritoneal metastasis from colorectal cancer (pcCRC) as compared with previous standard chemotherapy. The investigators hypothesize that FOLFOXIRI + bevacizumab will induce a pCR or major response in peritoneal tumor deposits in >30% of patients (taking the response rate to FOLFOX- or FOLFIRI-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy from the published literature as a reference).
