Filter by:Pancreatic, gastric, and colorectal cancers have all been shown to overexpress the gastrin gene and to be sensitive to the trophic effects of the gastrin in animal models. The hypothesis of this study is that G17DT will elicit specific and high-affinity antibodies that will bind gastrin-17, thus preventing the trophic activity of cancer cells.
The purpose of this study is through a phase I/II clinical trial to assess the safety and toxicity of intraperitoneally administered MOC31PE immunotoxin, given on the 1.postoperative day after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) for peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer (CRC).
This prospective database has two main objectives; - to evaluate the complication rates, 30-day and 90-day mortality from different surgical strategies for unresectable, borderline resectable or initially unresectable liver metastasis from colorectal cancer. - to establish baseline quality parameters for different surgical strategies for unresectable, borderline and initially unresectable colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) patients.
The proposed study, IFACT - Incidental Findings in Advanced Cancer Therapy, will address this research gap by examining MSK patients' attitudes, preferences, and information needs regarding incidental findings arising from tumor genomic profiling.
The long-term goal of this research is to develop new tools to guide patients, caregivers, and clinicians in making individualized decisions regarding colorectal cancer (CRC) surveillance. As part of a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute-funded contract, investigator will analyze surveillance data to determine the effectiveness of CRC surveillance and recurrence risk taking into account different patient and tumor characteristics; identify key issues about CRC surveillance important to patients, caregivers, and clinicians; and integrate the recurrence risk and patient priorities into a patient-centered, risk stratified surveillance strategy by creating an interactive decision aid for use by patients and clinicians. This protocol addresses a formative step in the creation of the interactive decision aid where patients' information needs and preferences are assessed regarding decisions about surveillance. The specific aims of this protocol are: Phase 1 - To interview patients and their caregivers to determine their concerns, preferences and key priorities regarding surveillance after curative resection of colorectal cancer, and Phase 2 - To refine the key priorities identified in phase 1 through focus groups and surveys with patients and caregivers.
Phase I Multicenter, Open-label, Clinical and Pharmacokinetic Study of Lurbinectedin (PM01183) in Combination with Capecitabine in Patients with Unresectable Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC), Pancreatic Cancer (PC) or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (CRC) to determine the recommended dose (RD) of PM01183 in combination with capecitabine, to characterize the safety profile, to explore the feasibility of PM01183 dose optimization, to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK), to obtain preliminary information on the clinical antitumor activity of this combination and to conduct an exploratory pharmacogenomic (PGx) analysis.
Limiting surgical stress and managing postoperative pain are well understood to influence recovery and outcome from major surgery for colorectal cancer and both are fundamental aspects of enhanced recovery protocols. Traditional approaches for dealing with these problems such as epidural or patient controlled intravenous opioid analgesia are associated with problems that may be detrimental to postoperative recovery and surgical outcome. As a result there is evidence in the literature of increasing interest in alternative techniques such as intrathecal anaesthesia or continuous wound infusion of local anaesthetic, however nobody has examined the effect of combining the techniques or their impact on the surgical stress response. We intend to compare patients undergoing major resections for colorectal cancer receiving intrathecal anaesthesia in combination with a wound infusion of local anaesthetic with those receiving a continuous wound infusion alone. We will examine the surgical stress response and postoperative pain control in addition to objective measures of postoperative recovery. We suggest that our approach will attenuate the surgical stress response and provide optimal pain control that will ultimately translate in improved recovery and outcome following surgery for colorectal cancer.
Cachexia associated with cancer is a grave and most of the time irreversible common situation. It seems independent from the size of the tumor or from its metastatic character. The consequences for the management of the patient are major and exceed widely the frame of the nutrition. Undernutrition of patients with cancer is described by a decrease of the energy contributions and a loss of muscular and fat mass, leading to a progressive functional deficiency which can go to the cachectic state. Actually, clinical criteria are proposed allowing to characterize the state of pre-cachexia but it remain too indistinct to allow an early and efficient screening and set up effective measures of prevention of the cachexia, to avoid the loss of muscular tissue and the cast iron of the energy reserves. It is necessary to have clinical and biological markers with diagnostic aim and forecasts during the situations precedents the appearance of cachexia. The present study will allow calibrating a longitudinal study, which could confirm the value of measures made for the diagnosis of pre-cachexia.
Study to evaluate the anti-tumour activity, safety and pharmacokinetics of unlabelled sibrotuzumab administered weekly (seven days +/- one day) at a dose of 100 mg (a total of 12 administrations) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
This is an observational, case-control study evaluating the quantitative level of Septin9 in plasma pre- and post-colectomy in hereditary colorectal cancer (CRC) syndrome patients (Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), Lynch syndrome (also known as HNPCC), and Multiple Adenomatous Polyposis (MAP, also known as MYK/MYH) cases) and genetically related FAP-family members as controls and references.
