View clinical trials related to Adenocarcinoma of the Rectum.
Filter by: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.
The purpose of this research study is to look at how tumors responds to a short course of radiation (5 days) followed by 8 cycles of chemotherapy.
Transanal Endoscopic Rectosigmoid Resection with Laparoscopic Assistance was developed at Massachusetts General Hospital and performed successfully to remove cancer of the lower rectum. Based on the outcomes, the research doctors believe that this investigational surgery may be as safe and effective as standard laparoscopic or open surgery performed to remove rectal cancer, may facilitate the operation and reduce the size of the abdominal incisions. In this research study, the investigators are looking to see if this investigational procedure is a safe and effective approach to remove rectal cancer of the mid and lower rectum.
The study will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AUY922 given in combination with cetuximab in previously treated patients with KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer.
This study combines midostaurin (PKC412) with radiation and a standard chemotherapy drug call 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) for subjects with advanced rectal cancer. Midostaurin is a type of kinase inhibitor which works by blocking proteins associated with cancer cell growth. Previous studies also suggest that midostaurin may help increase the effectiveness of radiation therapy. In this research we are looking for the highest dose of midostaurin that can be given safely in combination with standard chemoradiation.
RATIONALE: PD 0332991 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well PD 0332991 works in treating patients with refractory solid tumors.
RATIONALE: Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil and leucovorin calcium, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known which dose of vorinostat is more effective when given together with combination chemotherapy in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the best dose of vorinostat to see how well it works when given together with fluorouracil and leucovorin calcium in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer that has not responded to previous treatment.
To determine the effect of ABT-869 plus mFOLFOX6 compared to bevacizumab plus mFOLFOX6 on disease progression in advanced colorectal cancer.
Monoclonal antibodies, such as pertuzumab and cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving pertuzumab together with cetuximab may kill more tumor cells. This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of pertuzumab when given together with cetuximab and to see how well they work in treating patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of resveratrol in treating patients with colorectal cancer that can be removed by surgery. Resveratrol may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
