Filter by:To learn if the drug combination of adagrasib, cetuximab, and cemiplimab can help to control metastatic CRC with KRAS G12C mutations.
This research study tests the feasibility of the Physical Activity Centers Empowerment (PACE) physical activity intervention for African American individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Feasibility will be measured as intervention reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance. Seventy-two subjects will be recruited to conduct a pilot two-group, randomized repeated measures study.
Phase 2 study evaluating the efficacy and immune response to a synthetic long peptide mutant KRAS vaccine (SPL mKRASvax) combined with Balstilimab and Botensilimab for unresectable or metastatic mismatch repair-proficient (MMR-p) colorectal cancer (mCRC) or unresectable or metastatic MMR-p pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients with measurable disease following first-line FOLFIRINOX/FOLFOXIRI (FFX).
The BRAVE is a phase II clinical trial aimed at evaluating the efficacy of the combination therapy of encorafenib, cetuximab, and bevacizumab in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) harboring the BRAF-V600E mutation. This mutation is present in about 8-10% of CRC cases and is associated with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. The rationale behind this trial stems from preclinical studies suggesting that the overexpression and activation of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) may contribute to resistance to BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi) in CRC. Thus, the trial hypothesizes that adding bevacizumab, an anti-angiogenic agent targeting VEGFA, to the combination of encorafenib and cetuximab may delay acquired resistance, leading to improved progression-free survival. The primary objective of the BRAVE is to evaluate the antitumor activity of the encorafenib-cetuximab-bevacizumab combination in patients who have experienced disease progression after one or two chemotherapy regimens for BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic CRC. This activity will be assessed based on the confirmed progression-free survival rate according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 criteria.
Background: People with colorectal cancer (CRC) or gastroesophageal cancer (GEC) must often have major surgery to remove tumors from the esophagus, stomach, colon, or rectum. These surgeries can have adverse effects on their quality of life. Researchers want to know if one or two approved drugs (nivolumab with or without ipilimumab) can help people with CRC or GEC delay or avoid surgery. Objective: To test 1 or 2 drugs in people with CRC or GEC. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with CRC or GEC. People with GEC must also have changes in a particular gene. Design: Participants will visit the clinic about 15 times over the first 2 years. Each visit will last 4 to 8 hours. Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests. They will have imaging scans. Small samples of tissue will be collected from their upper or lower digestive tract where the tumor is located. Both ipilimumab and nivolumab are administered through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. Some participants will receive both drugs. Some will receive only nivolumab. Treatment will be given once every 3 weeks for up to 8 cycles up to (24 weeks). Participants will be evaluated every 6 weeks. Those who are responding well will continue with the drug treatments. If their disease progresses, they will go to surgery. After treatment ends, participants will have follow-up visits every 6 months for up to 5 years....
Previous studies have indicated a high incidence of sleep disturbances and anxiety symptoms in individuals with colorectal cancers prior to undergoing surgery, leading to worsened postoperative pain, slower recovery, and higher risk of chronic pain. The enhancement of sleep quality is intricately linked to reducing stress. Preoperative drugs that combine hypnosis and anti-anxiety have not been studied in colorectal cancer patients. Midazolam oral solution is safe and effective for short-term hypnotic and anti-anxiety effects in clinical preoperative settings. In the current randomized controlled clinical trial, 280 patients experiencing sleep disturbance or anxiety prior to colorectal cancer surgery will receive midazolam solution to assess its potential efficacy in reducing postoperative pain, expediting recovery, and decreasing the likelihood of chronic pain. Additionally, the study aims to explore the potential connections between midazolam administration and reductions in stress and inflammation.
Patient navigation is an evidence-based strategy to increase screening rates among racial and ethnic minorities, but there is a gap in understanding the multi-level influences on implementation of such programs across primary care practices. The investigators will conduct a stepped-wedge, randomized trial to roll out patient navigation and patient and provider reminders across 15 clinics (3 clinics per step, 5 six-month steps). Implementation strategies will include assessing for readiness, audit and feedback, building a community coalition, engaging consumers, modifying referral tracking, and training and educating clinical stakeholders. The research team will use the electronic health record data with consideration for the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data Model, additional patient-reported data, and study tracking logs to measure reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and will use qualitative measures and site observations to document contextual factors, including examination of discrimination in patient experiences and provider referral patterns that may influence intervention delivery or colorectal cancer screening completion.
Evaluation of The Efficacy And Safety of Tislelizumab (PD-1) Monoclonal Antibody + IL-2 Combined with Capox Treatment Following Loop Colostomy Surgery in Left-sided Colorectal Cancer Patients Complicating Acute Obstruction
The purpose of this study is to preliminarily observe the efficacy and safety of PCSK9 inhibitors in combination with standard advanced first-line regimens in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer with pMMR/MSS.
This clinical trial is looking at UCB4594. This is the first time the drug is being tested in humans. UCB4594 is a type of drug called a monoclonal antibody. It has been designed to work by targeting a protein called human leucocyte antigen G (HLA-G) that is found in high levels on some cancer cells. By attaching itself to this protein it may help the immune system to attack and kill the cancer cells. The four main aims of the clinical trial are to find out: 1. The best dose of UCB4594 that can be given safely to participants in the trial. 2. What the side effects of UCB4594 are and how they can be managed. 3. What happens to UCB4594 inside the body and how it affects cancer cells. 4. Whether UCB4594 can cause cancer to shrink.
