Filter by:ACUPOX is a multicenter, open label, 2-cohort based phase II clinical study evaluating the interest of a standardized protocol of verum acupuncture in treatment of Oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with gastro-intestinal solid tumors who discontinued oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy.
This is a phase Ib/II clinical study on AK119 and AK112 combined with or without chemotherapy in advanced microsatellite stabilized (pMMR/MSS) colorectal cancer
This is a window-of-opportunity umbrella platform trial enrolling non-metastatic resectable colorectal patients selected for the presence of a specific targetable molecular alteration. The study aims to test the activity of specific targeted agents/combinations given as a short-course pre-operative strategy, matched with the specific alteration detected, followed by standard of care surgery.
The study explored the effects of short-term structured psychological care on the level of postoperative psychological resilience, stigma, anxiety and depression in patients with colorectal cancer colostomy.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cause of cancer death in the United Kingdom, with approximately 17,000 deaths per year. The five-year survival rate from CRC is only 10% when discovered at a late stage, but exceeds 90% if diagnosed early. Symptoms related to CRC can be non-specific, therefore the decision to refer for a colonoscopy can be challenging. There is a clear need to improve earlier detection of CRC so that patients with CRC can be identified earlier and faster, enabling them to start treatment more quickly. The study team is developing a non-invasive breath test that detects small molecules called volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are specific to CRC. For patients with non-specific symptoms, this test would help GPs to identify those patients that may have underlying CRC, who would benefit from referral for specialised CRC tests.
RAS mutations are found in nearly half of colorectal cancer patients. However, except for G12C mutation, no driven gene targeted drug can be used. the commonly first-line used treatment regimen is bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy. Angiogenesis is an important therapeutic target in colorectal carcinoma. Fruquintinib is an oral small molecule inhibitor of VEGFR1/2/3, has approved for the third-line treatment of refractory colorectal cancer.
Cadonilimab is a first-in-class bispecific, humanized IgG1 antibody targeting PD-1 and CTLA-4, which has the potential to boost immune surveillance in tumors. This was a phase II study of cadonilimab in combination with bevacizumab and FOLFOXIRI as first line therapy for metastatic microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluated the efficacy and safety.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether chemotherapy guided by patient-derived tumor organoid drug test can improve the outcomes of stage IV colorectal cancer.
The treatments that aim to cure cancer in children can lead to "late effects" such as second cancers and heart disease. Screening tests can help find late effects, but most adult survivors of childhood cancer do not complete these tests. These survivors are at risk for harm that can be prevented. The investigators have developed a program called ONLOOP to remind survivors in Ontario, Canada to get the screening tests they need. ONLOOP reminds survivors who are at higher risk for heart disease, breast cancer, and/or colorectal cancer to complete their echocardiograms, mammograms and breast MRIs, and/or colonoscopies. The goal of this clinical trial is to find out how well ONLOOP helps adult survivors of childhood cancer complete their screening tests. The investigators also want to see if it could be turned into a long-term program in Ontario. Eligible survivors will be randomly assigned to either receive intervention materials or continue with usual care for 13 months before receiving intervention materials. The intervention includes usual care plus these ONLOOP materials: 1. Study invitation letter and invitation reminder 2. Those who sign up for ONLOOP will receive personalized health information and a screening reminder. Survivors will receive information about: 1. their cancer treatment 2. their risk(s) for late effects 3. the screening tests they should do 3. Participants have the option to provide their family doctor's or nurse practitioner's contact information. For those who consent, the study team will send their family doctor or nurse practitioner a letter with details about their cancer diagnosis and treatment. The letter will also remind them to talk to their patient about their health and screening test(s) needed.
Our study aims to assess the relationship between the Seismofit® derived VO2 peak estimate and CPET-measured VO2 peak in patients who are having CPET as part of their preoperative workup. Our aim is to establish whether Seismofit® can be considered a cheaper, less resource intensive and better tolerated alternative to the CPET, or whether it might be useful as a screening tool to efficiently identify patients with exercise intolerance who may benefit from further characterisation by CPET.
