Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the 2nd to 3rd most common malignant disease in developed countries, with over 1 million new cases and 500,000 deaths worldwide each year. The primary treatment for early stage CRC is surgery to remove the tumour, which is possible in 80% of patients. Even after surgery up to half of patients will develop recurrence or spread of the disease (metastases) which is incurable. Survival after 5 years is approximately 14% for patients with metastatic disease. Clinical trials using immunotherapy drugs called 'immune checkpoint inhibitors' have shown excellent results in advanced colorectal cancer patients who have certain genetic characteristics called 'mismatch repair deficiency (MMR-d)' and 'high microsatellite instability (MSI-h)'. The benefits of immunotherapy as a treatment prior to surgery to remove the tumour (neoadjuvant treatment) has been observed in both melanoma and in glioblastoma with enhanced local and systemic anti-tumour responses. Pembrolizumab is an immunotherapy drug and works by helping the body's own immune system to fight the cancer cells. The NEOPRISM-CRC trial will investigate whether giving pembrolizumab before surgery is safe, and whether it improves the chances of the tumour being removed completely, and whether this delays or prevents the cancer from coming back. Pembrolizumab treatment lasts for a maximum of 9 weeks (maximum of 3 cycles of treatment, each cycle consisting of 3 weeks) and is given prior to surgery. Following surgery patients will be followed up for at least 3 years after their surgery and to a maximum of 5 years. Target recruitment is 32 patients and recruitment is expected to take place over a 24 month period. Blood, tissue, mouth swabs and stool samples will be collected from patients throughout the trial to better understand the biology of immunotherapy as a treatment for CRC prior to surgery.
This trial examines colorectal cancer incidence in participants with 1 to 2 non-advanced adenomas randomized to surveillance colonoscopy at 10 years compared to participants randomized to surveillance colonoscopy at 5 and 10 years.
STUDY DESIGN This study is a prospective, randomized, multi-center study comparing intracorporeal versus extracorporeal anastomosis in performing laparoscopic right colectomy. The study subjects will be randomly assigned to 1. intracorporeal anastomosis (experimental group) 2. extracorporeal anastomosis (control group) with 1:1 manner. After surgery the subjects will be followed up at 1month, after then, every 3 month in total 3 years. STUDY POPULATION 1. Screening A detailed review of the medical records will be performed to assess inclusion/exclusion criteria for all subjects who have been diagnosed with right colon tumor (malignant or benign) or benign disease (complicated diverticulitis and so on) that are subject to a right colectomy procedure. All patients who are eligible, meet the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria of this study, will be offered enrollment into the study at each site. RISK ANALYSIS 1. Potential risks All these procedures are in practice today and only surgeons competent in a technique shall be allowed to perform those surgeries. Therefore, there are no anticipated additional risks than would normally be encountered from these surgeries when they are performed for these patients. 2. Potential benefits There may be some benefit due to having closer follow-up in the study. QUALIFICATION OF PARTICIPATING SURGEONS 1. Surgical procedure - Laparoscopic surgery: a surgical technique where operations are performed far from their target anatomy location through small incisions normally less than 15mm. - Extracorporeal anastomosis: the anastomosis is performed by pulling out the bowel through a laparotomy. - Intracorporeal anastomosis: the anastomosis is performed inside the abdominal cavity with a laparoscopic technique. Specimen extraction will be done through Pfannenstiel incision or similar incision in lower abdomen. 2. Procedure standardization and qualification procedure Participating surgeons should complete the learning curve of the procedure and experience at least 50 laparoscopic right colectomy. They are required to be evaluated by the quality control (QC) committee. They should submit their unedited videos of laparoscopic right colectomy and must be accepted by 2 or more of total 3 QC committee members. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Based on attaining a success rate of 85% for the primary endpoint, a total of 106 subjects will be required for each group. Accounting for a 5% loss, a total of 241 subjects will be recruited for this study.
The purpose of this study is to study the way radioembolization works by collecting biopsy samples of participants' tumors after the procedure. This research may improve the way that radioembolization is performed, which could help people whose cancer has spread to the liver. The research may also provide information about how tumors respond to radioembolization.
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether testing of stool for a panel of markers will enable us to detect polyps and cancer compared to standard testing.
This is an open-label, prospective, randomized, multicenter phase II trial that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of intermittent addition of cetuximab to a FOLFIRI-based first line therapy to patients with RAS (Rat sarcoma)-mutant mCRC (Metastatic colorectal cancer) diagnosis who convert to RAS wild-type using monitoring of the RAS mutation status by liquid biopsy.
Intro: Recent studies on colorectal cancer surgery have been focusing on the role of intestinal microbiome on surgical outcomes. Standard perioperative cares, like mechanic bowel preparation (MBP), administration of antibiotics (ABT) and surgery-related stress and injury influence the microbiome composition and possibly induce a shift toward a microbiome dysbiotic state, which predisposes to complicated postoperative course. Microbiome composition changes and enhanced virulence factors may increase the risk of postoperative complications, such as anastomotic leakage (AL), surgical site infection (SSI), and postoperative ileus (PI), which are known to impact on patient's overall survival and cancer recurrence. Objective: The primary objective is to investigate if a significant association might exist between the microbiome composition and the occurrence of postoperative complications at 90 days. Methods: 3 different microbiome samples will be taken from all patients. Two fresh fecal samples for detection of LM and fecal water preparation: a) a day before the surgery before MBP and/or ABT (LM1), b) postoperatively after first bowel movement (LM2). One sample will be taken intra-operatively from the stapled resection lines of circular stapler used for forming a colorectal anastomosis, to detect the MAM and to perform immunohistochemistry staining for detection of HACE1 expression. DNA analysis will be performed for all samples. IHC will be performed for detecting HACE1 expression in the tumor and colorectal anastomosis tissues using anti-HACE1 antibodies. . For proliferation assessment, human colon carcinoma cell lines HT29 will be plated in monolayers and scratched with a single scratch. Monolayers will be incubated for 24 hours with fecal water from patients with surgical complications and matched control patients without complications. Descriptive statistics will be performed to describe the study population. This project aim to describe microbiome composition and its impact on postoperative complications.
This study is a multi-institutional, prospective, observational study evaluation oncologic outcomes of laparoscopic modified complete mesocolic excision (mCME) on right-sided colon cancer. The primary outcome of this study is 3 year disease-free survival. Secondary outcome measures include 3 year overall survival, incidence of surgical complications, completeness of mCME, and distribution of metastatic lymph nodes.
This trial is a Phase I study to be conducted in patients with non-MSI-high advanced/metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) or colorectal cancer (CRC) and is divided in two Parts. - Dose escalation Part :To determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and the Recommended Dose for Phase 2 (RP2D) of Debio1143 when combined with a fixed dose of Pembrolizumab. - Extension Part: To evaluate preliminary efficacy data of the proposed combination.
