Filter by:Double-blind, randomized clinical trial to assess the effects of 1,55 g/day of n-3 fatty acids from fish oil concomitant chemotherapy in gastrointestinal cancer.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been widely used for problem-solving tool in the evaluation of hepatic lesions, and it has been shown to have better sensitivity than CT for detection of colorectal liver metastases, especially for lesions which are smaller than 1 cm. After introduction of a liver-specific hepatobiliary MR contrast agent, gadoxetic acid, gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI (Gd-EOB-MRI) has been increasingly used for evaluation of liver lesion including CRLM. However, compared to conventional MRI with extracellular contrast agent (ECA-MRI), Gd-EOB-MRI has different pharmacodynamic characteristics, and is more expensive due to higher cost of gadoxetic acid and needs longer scan time to obtain hepatobiliary phase which is generally acquired 15 to 20 minutes after contrast injection. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcome and diagnostic performance of Gd-EOB-MRI and ECA-MRI for evaluation of focal hepatic lesion in newly diagnosed colorectal cancer.
ALASCCA is a randomized, parallel group, double blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled, biomarker-based study of adjuvant treatment with low dose aspirin in patients with colorectal cancer. Hypothesis is that patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer and somatic mutations in PI3K pathway can significantly improve survival if treated with low dose aspirin.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Hyperthermic Intra-peritoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) with Mitomycin C used during surgery for treatment of locally advanced colorectal carcinoma is effective in the treatment of locally advanced colorectal carcinoma.
This is a multicentric randomized parallel group open trial comparing 5-year survival of chemotherapy followed by LT (Group LT+C) versus chemotherapy alone (Group C) in patients with confirmed unresectable liver-only metastases, well controlled by chemotherapy (no progression) and extensively explored by modern imaging techniques. The primary objective of the trial is to validate in a large multicentric cohort of selected patients the possibility to obtain at least 50% 5-years survival with LT combined to chemotherapy compared to around 10% with chemotherapy alone.
Pemetrexed is an anticancer agent that exerts its action by disrupting crucial folate-dependent metabolic processes essential for cell replication. In vitro studies have shown that pemetrexed behaves as a multitargeted antifolate by inhibiting thymidylate synthase (TS), dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), and glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase (GARFT), which are key folate-dependent enzymes for the de novo biosynthesis of thymidine and purine nucleotides.Pemetrexed is used as a standard therapeutic agent for lung cancer, pleural mesothelioma, peritoneal mesothelioma.In addition to these effective anti-cancer effect, Pemetrexed is not severe side effects of the medicine. Pemetrexed has been research in colon cancer. Zhang, etc., demonstrated the anti-cancer effect of Pemetrexed in human colon cancer Cells. Although sometimes made also two or more clinical studies, Pemetrexed was reported 15-17% of the treatment response rate in these two studies.
This is an open-label, multicenter, global Phase 2 basket study of entrectinib (RXDX-101) for the treatment of patients with solid tumors that harbor an NTRK1/2/3, ROS1, or ALK gene fusion. Patients will be assigned to different baskets according to tumor type and gene fusion.
Excessive tiredness (fatigue) is a common problem in cancer patients and can affect quality of life negatively. There is limited knowledge about the physical mechanisms that cause fatigue, and there is no medical treatment. Physical activity can reduce the inconvenience, but the investigators need to learn more about the type and intensity of exercise that works the best as well as how to motivate patients to exercise. The overall aim, is to evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of individually tailored high (H) and low/medium (LM) intensity physical training, with or without behavioural medicine (BM) support strategies, during adjuvant oncological treatment on; Cancer Related Fatigue (CRF),Quality of Life (QoL), mood disturbance, adherence to the cancer treatment, adverse effects, disease outcome, return to a daily life after completed treatment and return to work. The investigators will also describe changes in inflammatory markers and cytokines related to physical training and gene expressions following training to investigate whether these serve as mediators for the effects of physical training on CRF and QoL. This will be evaluated in newly diagnosed breast, colorectal and prostate cancer patients during adjuvant therapy at three different centres in Sweden; Uppsala, Lund/Malmö and Linköping. A 2x2 factorial design will be used, 600 patients will be randomised to H, H+BM, LM or LM+BM. Patients will train two times per week during 6 months. This project will give; new knowledge about aspects for individuals to gain improved well-being and quality of life, facilitated return to work, and possibly reduced risk of cancer recurrence. This in turn would result in lower burden on the health care system, reduced societal costs and have a positive impact on public health. Implementation of the results into clinical practice will be facilitated by the close collaboration between researchers and clinicians, and the fact that the study is performed in clinical settings.
The purpose of this study is to investigate biomarkers which may be predictors of efficacy and safety of treatment with mFOLFOX6 + bevacizumab versus mFOLFOX6 + panitumumab therapy in patients with chemotherapy-naïve unresectable advanced or recurrent colorectal cancer.
This research study is investigating the use of aspirin as a potential chemopreventive agent to reduce risk of colorectal cancer
