Filter by:Oral curcumin-containing supplement will be given to colorectal cancer patients with unresectable metastases who will be starting Avastin/FOLFIRI chemotherapy for up to completion of (or withdrawal from) chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of entinostat used in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer. Additionally, the purpose of the study is to assess how effective entinostat and pembrolizumab are in combination in patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Melanoma, and Mismatch-Repair Proficient Colorectal Cancer
Aim of the study is to evaluate the role of postoperative tibial nerve stimulation in the enhancement of the recovery of bowel function and in shortening the hospital stay.
Some patients experience a degree of pain and discomfort during endoscopic examination of the large bowel. Sedatives and analgesics may be administered in low doses. Excessive dosage or intense pain may lead to hypotension and impaired level of consciousness. The purpose of the present study was to determine if simulation training of endoscopy staff in preventing pain and handling acute complications through effective teamwork could improve the quality of colonoscopy from the patients' perspective.
This is a audio based mindfulness meditation intervention for colorectal cancer patients and caregivers. A 8-week single arm study will be conducted among University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) patients with metastatic colorectal cancer undergoing chemotherapy and caregivers of these patients (44 participants total).
This is a prospective longitudinal study to assess the impact of repeat Cologuard testing at 3 years in average risk patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether combining of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) transfusion can prolong survival of patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM).
Gum chewing group will have less ileus and early resume of bowel motion than control group.
Open-label, randomized, multicenter, Phase II trial designed to estimate the efficacy of CAPTEM versus FOLFIRI as second line treatment in MGMT methylated, RAS mutated advanced CRC patients who have progressed on or after first-line oxaliplatin containing chemotherapy for metastatic disease. MGMT will be assessed centrally at Pathology Department of Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori prior to enrollment. A minimum of ten 3-micron unstained sections on charged slides of tumor will be required and methylation status will be provided within a maximum of seven days to the Study Centers. Presence of RAS mutation will be assessed at each local participating center. Eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of two treatment arms: - Arm A (experimental arm): CAPTEM - Arm B (control arm): FOLFIRI Study treatment will be given in cycles repeated every 28 days for Arm A and every 14 days for Arm B. Patients in Arm A will receive capecitabine at the oral dose of 1500 mg/mq/die bid from day 1 to day 14 every 28 days plus temozolomide 150 mg/mq/die bid starting on day 9 to 14 every 28 days. Patients in Arm B will receive FOLFIRI chemotherapy starting Day 1 q2w (every cycle) starting on Day 1 of Cycle 1. FOLFIRI consists of irinotecan (starting dose of 180 mg/m2) on day one only; 5-FU 7 (starting bolus and 22-hour infusional doses of 400 mg/m2 and 600 mg/m2, respectively), and leucovorin (racemic, starting dose of 200 mg/m2 or L-form, starting dose of 100 mg/m2) for two consecutive days. Treatment will continue for up to 6 cycles in Arm A and up to 12 cycles in Arm B or up to disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or informed consent withdrawal. Randomization will be stratified across the treatment arms by the following predefined stratification variables: disease progression within 9 months from the start of first-line oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy (< vs. ≥9 months); prior bevacizumab in combination with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy (yes vs. no). Efficacy assessments will be performed every 2 cycles in Arm A and every 4 cycles in Arm B until progression. The study is expected to enrol approximately 82 patients who meet the eligibility criteria.
Subgroups of patients with radically operated colorectal cancer can have a better prognosis by over six months are treated with chemotherapy. This beneficial effect may be enhanced somewhat by providing a combination of chemotherapy and the addition of oxaliplatin. It is known that this treatment additions increase the risk of neurotoxic side effects such as sensitivity to cold, numbness and tingling in hands or feet, muscle cramps, pain, taste disorders and swallowing difficulties. The aim is to investigate how colorectal cancer patients with oxaliplatin adjuvant chemotherapy experience neurotoxic effects and if the experience of the symptoms change over time during treatment and how symptoms affect patients' daily lives and quality of life.
