Filter by:The addition of durvalumab to total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) in locally advanced rectal cancer may improve the pathological complete response rate. The induction platinum-based chemotherapy may increase the neoantigen formation together with the chemoradiotherapy period. Starting durvalumab during the first chemotherapy session and continuing during the 6-week period of chemoradiotherapy could change and create the needed environment to increase the efficacy of durvalumab in this setting. Additionally, the 8-12 week rest period from the end of the chemoradiotherapy and the radical surgery, treatment with durvalumab may continue improving the response and outcome of patients without jeopardizing the surgery (which needs this period out of chemotherapy and radiotherapy to avoid postoperative complications, but not for anti-PDL-1 therapy). Patients will be included following inclusion/exclusion criteria in a prospective, non-randomized, open label, single arm phase II study to receive 6 cycles of mFOLFOX6 (oxaliplatin, leucovorin and fluorouracil) followed by long course chemoradiotherapy (50.4 Gy together with capecitabine) followed by surgery. Patients will receive durvalumab 1500 mg every 4 weeks during induction chemotherapy, chemoradiotherapy and waiting period until surgery.
JCOG1801 is a randomized phase III trial which was initiated in Japan in August 2019 to confirm the superiority of preoperative chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy for local relapse-free survival over standard treatment, i.e. surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy, for previously non-irradiated locally recurrent rectal cancer.
In patients with advanced rectal cancer, molecular subtypes will be identified by preoperative biopsy, CT, MRI / PET radiomics analysis, clinical features, and clinical features will be confirmed and compared. Also, we want to confirm the relationship between these factors and the treatment response after chemoradiotherapy before surgery. The prognosis will be then assessed through 5-year overall survival and 3-year disease free survival. A prospective clinical trial, recruiting 210 persons (approximately 53 per year) that meet the selection criteria for approximately four years from the IRB approval date in 2019 (about 53 per year) We will analyze the data and then collect and analyze the data and report the results.
MOBILE2 is a randomized controlled trial comparing mechanical and oral antibiotic bowel preparation to mechanical bowel preparation only in patients undergoing anterior rectal resection with primary anastomosis. Primary endpoint is Comprehensive Complication Index within 30 days from surgery.
In this study, investigators seek for a better way to identify the potential pathologic complete response (pCR) patients form non-pCR patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), based on their post-neoadjuvant treatment Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data. Previously, a post neoadjuvant treatment MRI based radiomics AI model had been constructed and trained. Here, the predictive power of this artificial intelligence system and expert radiologist to identify pCR patients from non-pCR LARC patients will be compared in this prospective, multicenter, back-to-back clinical study
In this study, investigators utilize a radiomics prediction model to predict the tumor response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) before the nCRT is administered for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Previously, the radiomics prediction model has been constructed based on the radiomics features extracted from pretreatment Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the training set, and optimized in the external validation set. The predictive power of this radiomics prediction model to discriminate the pathologic complete response (pCR) patients from non-pCR individuals, will be further verified in this prospective, multicenter clinical study.
In this study, investigators apply a radiopathomics artificial intelligence (AI) supportive model to predict neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) response before the nCRT is delivered for the patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). The radiopathomics AI system predicts individual tumor regression grading (TRG) category based on each patient's radiopathomics features extracted from the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and biopsy images. The predictive power to classify each patient into particular TRG category will be validated in this multicenter, prospective clinical study.
In this study, investigators utilize a radiopathomics integrated Artificial Intelligence (AI) supportive system to predict tumor response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) before its administration for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). By the system, whether the participants achieve the pathologic complete response (pCR) will be identified based on the radiopathomics features extracted from the pre-nCRT Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and biopsy images. The predictive power to discriminate the pCR individuals from non-pCR patients, will be validated in this multicenter, prospective clinical study.
Main objective: To evaluate the bidirectional relationships between physical exercise and sleep parameters, as a part of multimodal prehabilitation intervention, on pre- and postoperative outcomes in surgical patients with colorectal cancer, in an RCT. Secondary objective: to determine whether the levels of anxiety and depression affect these relationships. Objectives are based on the overarching hypothesis that is sleep and physical activity influence each other through complex, reciprocal interactions including multiple physiological and psychological pathways. To achieve this, providing a multimodal prehabilitation, specifically physical exercise, involved in mental and physical health through different mechanisms, i.e., improving physical functioning and fitness, reducing side effects of cancer treatments, preventing bone loss and weight gain, improving the quality of life and sleep, decreasing symptoms of fatigue and depression. The present is a pilot study aiming to evaluate the bidirectional relationships between sleep and physical exercise, and the preliminary outcome has important implications for informing both clinical and public health practice. Research question: Does a multimodal intervention including physical exercise improve sleep quality and duration compared to standard of care, during the perioperative period? Conversely, does a better sleep quality and duration increases the level of physical exercise during the perioperative period? How the level of anxiety and depression will affect these relationships? If the Prehabilitation program specifically physical exercise will positively affect sleep quality and duration after surgery, in the way to be a protective factor of sleep to not be reduced by up to 55% compared to those receiving standard of care?
Robotic rectal cancer resection with natural orifice extraction is a recently developed minimally invasive surgery for patients with rectal cancer. However, it's safety and feasibility remain undiscussed and controversial. This study reported the clinical outcomes and prognostic factors of robotic assisted rectal cancer resection alone vs. robotic rectal cancer resection with natural orifice extraction to discuss aforementioned question.
