Filter by:This study is investigating a new technique for delivering chemotherapy directly into the lungs at the time of surgery. Delivering chemotherapy directly to the lungs could potentially kill any microscopic cancer cells that are present in the lungs at the time of surgery, while sparing other major organs in the body from the side effects of chemotherapy. This technique is called In Vivo Lung Perfusion (IVLP). At the University Health Network, this IVLP technique has been used recently in a Phase I study in patients with sarcoma, and we are now expanding on that experience to include patients with colorectal metastases. The purpose of this study is to test the safety of the IVLP technique and find the dose that seems right in humans. Participants are given oxaliplatin into one lung via IVLP and are watched very closely to see what side effects they have and to make sure the side effects are not severe. If the side effects are not severe, then more participants are asked to join the study and are given a higher dose of oxaliplatin. Participants joining the study later on will get higher doses of oxaliplatin than participants who join earlier. This will continue until a dose is found that causes severe but temporary side effects. Doses higher than that will not be given. The other lung will not be infused with anything, so that we can limit unforeseen toxicity to a single lung and see if one lung does better than the other.
The trial is designed as an investigator initiated prospective phase 2 study in patients with metastatic pMMR colorectal cancer (CRC) to determine the safety and efficacy of calcium electroporation (CaEP) performed concurrently with irreversible electroporation (IRE) followed by a PD-1 inhibitor (pembrolizumab).
High uptake is vital to population-based screening. BowelScreen (Irelands national organised population-based colorectal cancer screening programme) has not achieved recommended screening uptake targets. In Ireland sending the test kit in the screening invitation reminder may be an important strategy in targeting non-responders and would address a key difference between Ireland and other international screening programmes with higher uptake. In addition, few studies have focused on behavioural barriers to screening participation. Founded upon the MRC Guidelines for the Development of Complex Interventions, our systematic, theoretically-informed investigation of FIT screening participation has begun to identify behavioural antecedents to screening participation in Ireland. This study will implement a multilevel evidence-based, theoretically-informed intervention which includes the automatic inclusion of the test kit in the screening reminder, alone and in combination with an intervention to influence individuals' screening participation. This multilevel intervention will provide recommendations for the screening invitation delivery, potentially bringing the programme closer to recommended uptake targets (50%) and in the long-term influence reductions in bowel cancer incidence and mortality in Ireland.
This is a Phase 1b/2 study to investigate the efficacy and safety of LBL-007 plus Tislelizumab when administered in combination with bevacizumab plus fluoropyrimidine to participants with colorectal cancer.
This is an open-label, Phase 2, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profiles of botensilimab as monotherapy and in combination with balstilimab or standard-of-care treatments in participants with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer.
This originated as an observational study of Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) patients with a history of adenoma diagnosed by colonoscopy who received a subsequent surveillance colonoscopy between 2014 and 2019. The original goal of the study was to develop a risk prediction model that would help identify patients at highest risk for a diagnosis of advanced neoplasia (colorectal cancer and/or advanced adenoma) at or within 6 months following their surveillance colonoscopy. Candidate predictors of interest included patient demographics, medical history, and details related to the index colonoscopy. The investigators are now at the implementation stage and applying the risk prediction model to patients awaiting surveillance colonoscopy at select KPNC service areas to help identify those at highest risk for colorectal cancer based on their risk scores.
In this study, the investigators compared and evaluated the clinicopathological and oncological characteristics of sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC) in young adults without genetic mutations associated with hereditary CRC syndrome and sporadic CRC in elderly individuals.
Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is the third most common malignancy worldwide. In Egypt, the relative frequency of CRC is about 9-12% with high male predominance 3:1. The high mortality rates associated with CRC is reflective of several factors including: the lack of apparent symptoms in the early stages and the absence of cancer prevention strategies in developing countries. Insulin-like growth factor II m-RNA-binding protein 3 (IMP3) is a member of the IMP family which plays a key role in the transfer and stabilization of mRNA, cell growth, and migration during embryogenesis. IMP3 has gained considerable interest as a cancer-associated protein. Previous studies strongly suggest that IMP3 may represent a valuable prognostic marker in human cancer. Its overexpression has been reported in a variety of human types of cancer, including lung cancer, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, and breast cancer
The purpose of this China extension study is to assess the safety and efficacy of coformulated favezelimab/pembrolizumab (MK-4280A) in adult Chinese participants with metastatic colorectal cancer. The study will also compare MK-4280A with the standard of care treatment of regorafenib and TAS-102 (trifluridine and tipiracil). The primary study hypothesis is that coformulated favezelimab/pembrolizumab (MK-4280A) is superior to standard of care with respect to overall survival.
Laparoscopic colorectal surgery has been proved to have similar oncological outcomes with open surgery. Due to the lack of tactile perception, surgeons may have misjudgments in laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Therefore, the accurate localization of a tumor before surgery is important, especially in the early stages of cancer. Recently, some retrospective studies reported the use of patients' autologous blood for preoperative colonic localization in colorectal cancer with successful detection by laparoscopy, but its benefits remain controversial. This study aimed to assess the accuracy and safety of autogenous blood marker localization in laparoscopic radical resection for colorectal cancer.
