Filter by:RATIONALE: Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil and leucovorin calcium, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known which dose of vorinostat is more effective when given together with combination chemotherapy in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the best dose of vorinostat to see how well it works when given together with fluorouracil and leucovorin calcium in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer that has not responded to previous treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), toxicity profile, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and characterize the pharmacokinetics of biweekly PEP02 treatment.
RATIONALE: Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as panitumumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Panitumumab may also stop the growth of colorectal cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether erlotinib hydrochloride given together with panitumumab is more effective with or without irinotecan in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying giving erlotinib hydrochloride together with panitumumab to see how well it works with or without irinotecan hydrochloride as second-line therapy in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
This single arm study will assess progression-free survival, feasibility of use and safety of Avastin in combination with 5-FU/FA, oxaliplatin and irinotecan (FOLFOXIRI) as first line treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Patients will receive up to 12 bi-weekly cycles of Avastin (5mg/kg iv) in combination with this standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen followed by up to 40 bi-weekly cycles with Avastin plus 5-FU/FA. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) with polyethylene glycol plus bowel enema versus bowel enema alone in patients candidates to colorectal resection for malignancy.
Design: double blind controlled randomized trial with a parallel design and 3 treatment groups Description of subjects: Patients admitted in study centers for colorectal surgery under laporoscopy and/or laparotomy. Product: Product 1: BB536 and LA1 (10E9) Product 2: BB536 and LA1 (10E7) Placebo: Maltodextrin Number of patients: enrolled subjects: n=33, ITT data set: n=31, PP data set: n=30 Primary objective: Colonization (biopsy+stools) of each bacteria for one of the dose at D0 (surgical procedure) Secondary objectives: - Influence of the probiotic bacteria on the gut microflora - Modulation of the immune and inflammatory response Additional objectives: - Investigate dose effect on La1 colonization - Investigate the effect of La1 colonization, treatment without La1 colonization, and absence of treatment and La1 colonization on other bacteria and on immunological parameters
This multi-center, open-label, non-randomized, non-placebo-controlled, Phase I study will define the safety profile and tumor response profile of the multi-kinase inhibitor BAY73-4506 as oral treatment in combination with the chemotherapy regimen mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI in patients with metastatic CRC. It will also determine the impact of the combined administration on the concentration of drugs over time (pharmacokinetics) of BAY73-4506, oxaliplatin, 5 FU, and irinotecan. This study will be conducted at approximately 5 - 8 study centers in Germany. Up to 60 patients will be enrolled into this study to ensute that at least 12 - 15 patients for each combination regimen can be evaluated for safety and pharmacokinetics. For this reason a minimum of 20 patients will receive mFOLFOX6 in combination with BAY73-4506 and at least 20 patients will receive FOLFIRI in combination with BAY73-4506.
Contribution to the study of oxidative stress markers in laparoscopic vs open colectomy for colorectal cancer
Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the formation of multiple adenomatous colorectal polyps usually in the teenage years. Virtually, all patients with FAP will develop colorectal cancer on average by the 5th decade of life if prophylactic surgery is not performed. Besides, these individuals must have lifelong cancer surveillance of the remaining colorectum or ileum. Use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as sulindac, or celecoxib, which selectively inhibits prostaglandin synthesis primarily via the inhibition of cyclogenase-2 (COX-2) have been shown to reduce the incidence and induce regression of adenomas in the rectum of patients with FAP. However, use of NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors is associated with significant comorbidity including renal and gastric toxicity and increased risk of vascular events. Therefore, identification of a chemopreventive agent that would have similar efficacy but less toxicity would enhance our ability to treat these patients. Therefore the following specific aim has been proposed:To determine in a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study the tolerability and efficacy of curcumin to regress intestinal adenomas by measuring duodenal and colorectal/ileal polyp number, and polyp size in patients with FAP.
The purposes of this study were to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic interactions, and the Human Anti-Human Antibody of dalotuzumab in combination with cetuximab and irinotecan in participants with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer in Japan.
