Filter by:This randomized phase II trial studies how well irinotecan and cetuximab with or without bevacizumab work in treating patients with RAS wild-type colorectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body (locally advanced/metastatic) and cannot be removed by surgery. Irinotecan may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab and bevacizumab, may help the body?s immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving irinotecan and cetuximab with or without bevacizumab may work betting in treating patients with colorectal cancer.
Background: - Some types of inflammation may increase the risk of cancers in the intestinal track. Because of this possibility, anti-inflammatory drugs may be able to prevent tumor growth and spread. One such drug, sulindac, may be helpful to study. Researchers want to see if people who are having surgery to remove intestinal tumors from advanced colorectal cancer will benefit from sulindac. It will be tested against a placebo. Objectives: - To see if sulindac can improve treatment outcomes in people who are having surgery for advanced colorectal cancer. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who are having surgery for advanced colorectal cancer. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood samples will be collected. Imaging studies and heart and lung function tests may also be given. - Participants will be separated into two groups. One group will take sulindac. The other will take a placebo. - Participants will take sulindac or placebo twice daily from about 2 to 3 weeks before the scheduled surgery. Seven days before the surgery, they will stop taking the pills. - Participants will have surgery to remove their tumors. The surgery will also remove affected organ tissue. - Participants will start to take the pills again once they have recovered from surgery. They will continue taking the sulindac or placebo twice a day for 3 years, or for as long as the tumors do not return.
Establish the tolerability and safety of aimed dose of both quinacrine and capecitabine in combination to treat patients with advanced colorectal adenocarcinoma.
This is an open-label, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a modified regimen of oxaliplatin and capecitabine on metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma in the first-line therapy.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if adding brivanib to irinotecan can help control the disease in patients with colorectal cancer that has spread. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.
The purpose of this study is to better understand the biology of the body's immune response to monoclonal antibody therapy for cancer. Your health information will be used to identify your tissues. The tissue we obtain may be useful for research or education, resulting in new drugs, therapies or diagnostic procedures.
The purpose of this study is to find the safest and most effective dose of the drugs bevacizumab and everolimus given in combination for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. Bevacizumab (also called Avastin™) is a drug that is given intravenously (through a vein). Everolimus (also called RAD001) is a tablet that is taken by mouth. Bevacizumab is a protein that is thought to prevent the formation of blood vessels tumors need to grow. RAD001 has multiple capabilities, like bevacizumab it may prevent the formation of blood vessels needed by tumors and it also may stop tumor growth. This study will try to find the safest dose of these drugs that can be tolerated when taken in combination. The study will look at how the drugs work in the body, and will see if there is any effect on metastatic colorectal cancer.
In this study, the investigational drug, temsirolimus, will be combined with cetuximab, a biologic agent used in the treatment of colorectal cancer. Cetuximab in combination with temsirolimus may be more effective in treating advanced colorectal cancer than cetuximab alone. The purpose of this research study is to try to define the highest dose of cetuximab that can be used safely in combination with temsirolimus to treat advanced colorectal cancer that has progressed through standard therapy.
When colon or rectal cancer has spread to the liver, the cancer in the liver can sometimes be removed surgically. However, the cancer has a chance or reoccurring in the liver or elsewhere in the body. This study will determine if giving chemotherapy treatment before the surgery can reduce the chances that the cancer will come back.
The purpose of this study is to collect information about the antitumor activity and the safety of capecitabine and thalidomide in patients with colorectal cancer.
