Filter by:The study is a real-world observational clinical study. Patients diagnosed as colorectal cancer through histopathology were screened and enrolled. Before anti-tumor treatment, colonoscopy biopsy tissue specimens, surgical specimens, and malignant pleural effusion or ascites specimens, etc. are collected. The investigators will perform a drug sensitivity testing based on a novel drug susceptibility testing method to test the commonly used anti-tumor treatment regimens. Patients were given conventional anti-tumor treatment according to the medical judgment of the doctors. Finally, the investigator will evaluate the consistency of clinical efficacy in colorectal cancer treatment and drug susceptibility outcomes.
For locally advanced rectal cancer, the initial goal of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is to reduce local recurrence, but the pathologic complete response (PCR) rate is low, and distant metastasis becomes the main treatment failure pattern. With the gradual optimization of neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens, the tumor regression efficacy in patients has improved, leading to increased organ preservation and reduced distant metastasis. Therefore, neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer has transitioned from an era focused on local control of recurrence to an era focused on improving tumor regression, organ preservation, and long-term survival. Thus, there is a trend towards intensifying the whole course of neoadjuvant treatment for rectal cancer to preserve organ function. The combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy is currently the most powerful approach to maximize tumor regression and achieve organ preservation in low rectal cancer. Currently, several clinical studies on the use of PD-1 inhibitors in combination with preoperative chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer are ongoing internationally, with the majority focusing on PD-1 monotherapy or PD-1 combined with the CapOX regimen in combination with synchronous chemoradiotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment. However, there is no specific research reported on the use of PD-1 combined with FOLFOXIRI regimen in combination with synchronous chemoradiotherapy as a whole course neoadjuvant treatment for pMMR (proficient mismatch repair) locally advanced rectal cancer. Based on the above evidence from evidence-based medicine, we plan to conduct a phase II prospective clinical study to explore the efficacy and treatment safety of PD-1 monoclonal antibody and FOLFOXIRI chemotherapy combined with intensity-modulated radiotherapy as a whole course neoadjuvant treatment in pMMR locally advanced low rectal cancer. The results of this study may open up new treatment approaches for optimizing whole course neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer and provide a novel treatment strategy for organ preservation in pMMR rectal cancer.
dMMR/MSI-H colorectal cancer patients are the dominant population of immunotherapy/neoadjuvant immunotherapy, but imaging evaluation of immunotherapy efficacy is insufficient. There are some cases, although no disease remission was found on imaging,pathological complete response (pCR) was confirmed after surgery. Meanwhile,previous studies have shown that dynamic changes in ctDNA can help assess immunotherapy efficacy. Therefore, we propose to conduct a multicenter, prospective, observational clinical study to explore the efficacy prediction and monitoring value of ctDNA in immunotherapy for advanced or locally advanced dMMR/MSI-H colorectal cancer.
The primary aim of this study is to collect and store data, tissue, and personal and family histories from patients being screened for colorectal cancer and/or endometrial cancer at NYPH and WCM for routine clinical care and to make these available for future use for molecular and mechanistic studies.
This study assesses the feasibility and acceptability of a brief electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) tool that allows patients to self-identify impending delays. The risk of treatment delays according to tumor type and race will be measured by both ePRO and electronic health record (EHR) tools. Data from this study and the association of social determinants of health could be useful to flag patients at risk of delay and due timely intervention for modifiable treatment barriers. The prediction of the risk of treatment delay will be helpful to design another study using electronic tracking systems to prevent cancer treatment delays. The long-term goal of this research is to alert care teams when patients may be at risk of treatment days and to help patients get treatment faster. It was planned to enroll a total of 240 subjects with newly diagnosed cancer. Sixty colorectal and 180 breast cancer patients will be included.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of TAS-102 combined with bevacizumab as first-line therapy in patients with advanced colorectal cancer who could not tolerate or did not receive combined chemotherapy
This is a study in adults from Asia with different types of advanced cancer (solid tumours). People can join the study if they have cancer of the stomach, large bowel and rectum, pancreas, liver, head and neck or non-small cell lung cancer. This is a study for people for whom previous treatment was not successful or no treatment exists. People can participate if their tumour has the B7-H6 marker. The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of BI 765049 that people with advanced cancer can tolerate when taken (alone and) together with ezabenlimab. Another purpose is to check whether BI 765049 taken (alone and) together with ezabenlimab can make tumours shrink. Both medicines may help the immune system fight cancer. Participants can stay in the study up to 3 years, as long as they can tolerate it and can benefit from it. During this time, they visit the study site about every 3 weeks. At the study site they get BI 765049 alone or in combination with ezabenlimab as an infusion into a vein. BI 765049 is given in 3-week cycles, ezabenlimab is given once every 3 weeks. The doctors check the health of the participants and note any health problems that could have been caused by BI 765049 or ezabenlimab. Doctors regularly check the size of the tumour and check whether it has spread to other parts of the body.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancer worldwide. Initiation and progression of CRC involve complex interactions among genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors. Given that hereditary and familial CRC only accounts for 2% to 5% of cases, environmental factors are the key triggers of CRC. Emerging evidence has indicated that gut microbes are an important environmental factor promoting CRC development. Gut dysbiosis has been shown to promote colorectal carcinogenesis in mice. Several individual bacterial species, such as the enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF), Fusobacterium nucleatum and Peptostreptococcus anaerobius, could exert carcinogenic effects by inducing direct DNA damage, oxidative damage and activating oncogenic signaling pathways. Recent studies have shown that the appendix plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis and biodiversity of gut microbiome by providing an ideal ecological niche for commensal bacteria and production of immunoglobulin A. Considering the key role of microorganisms in gastrointestinal pathophysiology, absence of appendix may result in disruption of microbiome homeostasis, which could potentially influence the risk of developing CRC. In terms of epidemiological evidence, the association of appendectomy with the risk of CRC development has been controversial, and to date no consensus has been attained. Although gut microorganisms could be a crucial pivot between appendectomy and risk of subsequent CRC development, the direct contribution of appendectomy and the underlying mechanisms are still largely unexplored. In this study, we aim to study 1. the association between appendectomy and colorectal cancer, and 2. the role of appendectomy in CRC risk through causing gut microbial dysbiosis.
This study is a prospective, multicenter, and exploratory study aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of Huaier Granules in preventing postoperative recurrence and metastasis of colorectal cancer.
The goal of this study is to improve use of colorectal cancer screening among screening eligible African Americans who are served by Federally Qualified Health Centers in Michigan. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To what extent to individual prefer and select to complete screening with colonoscopy versus stool-based (FIT Kit or sDNA) options? - Can full completion of (i.e. follow-through with) screening with a selected modality be enhanced by delivery of a culturally targeted intervention? Participants will learn about colonoscopy, FIT Kit and sDNA as recommended and widely used screening options. Participants will select a modality to complete their own screening with. Participants will then be randomized to one of three arms (usual care, standard intervention, culturally targeted intervention). Researchers will compare the extent to which intervention arms enhance completion rates across each of the three screening modalities.
