Filter by:A Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet), a largely plant-based dietary pattern, is relevant to CRC prevention and microbial production of anti-cancer metabolites in observational studies. A MedDiet can shift BA metabolism as shown in primates and when combined with calorie restriction, shows superior adherence and weight control in humans, given its palatability. To date, no studies have tested in an RCT the effects of a MedDiet alone (MedA), WL through lifestyle intervention (WL-A) or a calorie-restricted MedDiet for WL (WL-Med) on the BA-gut microbiome axis and its relevance to CRC prevention among AAs. A multidisciplinary team combining expertise in psychology, nutrition, microbiology, molecular cell biology, computational biology, medicine and biostatistics, proposes to conduct a four-arm RCT in which 232 obese AAs, 45-75 years old complete one of the following 6-month interventions: Med-A, weight stable; WL-A, calorie restriction with no diet pattern change; WLMed; or Control. The investigators will use samples and data collected at baseline, mid-study (month-3) and post-intervention to compare the effects of the interventions on 1) Concentration and composition of circulating and fecal BAs; 2) Gut microbiota and metabolic function; and 3) Gene expression profiles of exfoliated intestinal epithelial cells.
The investigator assesses the efficacy and safety of alpelisib and capecitabine in patients with PIK3CA mutant metastatic colorectal cancer who failed two prior standard chemotherapies.
This is a prospective, open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial, by monitoring the serum ctDNA mutational profile using NGS, aiming to elucidate the correlation between the postoperative ctDNA status and the assisted diagnosis, early intervention and prognosis for colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases.
This study is open to adults with advanced solid tumors whose previous cancer treatment was not successful. People can participate if their tumor has the B7-H6 marker or if they have colorectal cancer. The study tests 2 medicines called BI 765049 and ezabenlimab (BI 754091). Both medicines may help the immune system fight cancer. The purpose of this study is to find out the highest dose of BI 765049 alone and in combination with ezabenlimab the participants can tolerate. In this study, BI 765049 is given to people for the first time. Participants can stay in the study for up to 3 years, if they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it. During this time, they get BI 765049 alone or in combination with ezabenlimab as infusion into a vein every 3 weeks. The doctors check the health of the participants and note any health problems that could have been caused by BI 765049 or ezabenlimab. The doctors also regularly monitor the size of the tumor.
The aim on this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the anti-VEGFR2 monoclonal antibody olinvacimab and the capecitabine in patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma who failed two prior chemotherapies
To evaluate the normal physiological distribution of positron nuclide labeled DOTA-FAPI PET/CT in human body and its diagnostic efficiency for colorectal cancers
This project aims to enhance the support for patients with breast and bowel cancer after treatment. Current follow-up care includes either self-management with patient-initiated contacts (breast cancer) or scheduled hospital visits for scans/tests for recurrence (bowel cancer). Building on extensive experience with online patient self-reporting of symptoms during treatment, the study will develop, implement and evaluate satisfaction with an improved electronic system to engage breast and bowel cancer survivors to self-report symptoms/problems online from home and get immediate tailored advice for self-management or hospital contact. The reports are displayed real-time in the hospital records alongside scans/tests to inform clinical management.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether the use of large screen during colonoscopy will increase adenoma detection rate.
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is an α-glycoprotein synthesized in the liver. BchE's serum level decreases in many clinical conditions such as acute and chronic liver damage, inflammation, injury and infections, and malnutrition. The Investigators prospectively evaluate patients undergoing elective procedures for colorectal diseases. Blood samples are collected preoperatively (at day 0), post-operatively in the recovery room (day 1), and on the subsequent four days (days 2, 3, 4, and 5) for assessment of BChE, C-reactive protein, and white blood cell concentrations. The same surgical team operates all patients and is blinded to the study. Patients are monitored for post-operative infection by using standard laboratory and clinical methods. If surgical site infection (SSI) is suspected the wound is swabbed and empirical antibiotics are started. The aim of the current trial is to study whether BChE is a reliable marker for the presence of SSI in patients undergoing colorectal surgery.
Conduct a feasibility pilot RCT of a newly developed colorectal cancer screening (CRC) decision aid (DA) including 66 LHL adults 76-85 years recruited from community health centers. Hypotheses: Patients in the intervention group will be more likely to change their intentions to be screened with fewer patients with <10 year LE and/or those with >10 year LE and no risk factors intending to be screened and more with >10 year LE and risk factors for CRC and/or those who have never been screened intending to be screened (primary outcome). The secondary outcomes are that the patients in the intervention group will have 1. increased knowledge of CRC screening options and the benefits and risks of these options; 2. increased SDM engagement; and 3. find the DA acceptable. Investigators also anticipate that at least 50% of eligible participants will choose to participate in the study.
