Filter by:This clinical trial evaluates whether an adaptive text-message intervention is useful in helping survivors of colorectal cancers (CRC) eat more whole grain foods and less refined grain foods. Most CRC survivors don't achieve the recommended intakes of whole grains or fiber, even though there is strong evidence that a high-fiber diet rich in whole grains lowers the risk of death from CRC. Dietary interventions are a promising approach for reducing death from CRC, and text message interventions specifically are a promising tool for reaching diverse populations. This trial evaluates a text-message based dietary intervention that continuously adapts message content to be specifically tailored for the participant for increasing whole grain consumption.
This clinical trial evaluates the use of a blood test (Guardant Shield™) for colorectal cancer screening. Colorectal cancer is the third leading cancer and cause of death in the United States. Screening may help doctors find colorectal cancer early when it is easier to treat yet nearly a third of all people eligible for screening have never had a screening test performed. Currently, doctors use a stool- based test such as the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) and visual tests such as a colonoscopy. Blood based testing such as Guardant Shield™, may provide a quick and effective way to screen patients that are hard to reach or with limited access (underserved).
This clinical trial studies how well a web-based dyadic intervention works to manage psychoneurological symptoms for patients with colorectal cancer and their caregivers. Patients with colorectal cancer receiving chemotherapy experience severe and distressing psychoneurological symptoms that include fatigue, depression, sleep disturbance, pain, and cognitive dysfunction. When these co-occurring symptoms are undertreated, they negatively affect functional status, survival rates, and quality of life of patients as well as decrease health outcomes of their family caregiver. A critical need exists to develop an effective and novel intervention that focuses on patients with colorectal cancer receiving chemotherapy and their caregivers. A web-based dyadic intervention holds great promise to reduce psychoneurological symptoms burden and improve quality of life for patients with colorectal cancer receiving chemotherapy and advance intervention development and implementation in cancer supportive care and health equity.
This clinical trial studies disparities involving colorectal cancer prevention and screening in Black and underserved communities in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The Black community is disproportionately impacted by colorectal cancer, with the highest rate of any racial/ethnic group in the United States. There are complex reasons behind these disparities, largely related to socioeconomic factors and healthcare access. Providing access to free, home-based fecal immunochemical testing (FIT), colorectal screening education, and appropriate follow-up to predominantly Black community-based organizations and underserved communities may help to close this gap.
This study collects blood and stool samples from patients with suspected or diagnosed Lynch syndrome to evaluate a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) screening technique for the detection of colorectal cancer in Lynch syndrome patients.
This is Phase Ib/II, multicenter, open-label adaptive platform study of JDQ443 with select therapies in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring the KRAS G12C mutation.
In this open-label phase III study, patients with local advanced colon cancer (TanyN+ ,M0, dMMR/MSI-H, at least 10cm from the anus verge)will be scheduled to Group A: receive anti-PD-1 antibody alone (8 cycles, 200mg iv drip Q3W) and Group B (4 or 8 cycles of XELOX: oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 day 1, capecitabine 2000mg/m2 days 1-14, repeated every 21 days). The primary endpoint was 3 Disease-free survival; analyses were done based on all patients with post-randomization data.
This phase IIa trial investigates if giving obeticholic acid (OCA) is safe and has a beneficial effect on the number of polyps in the small bowel and colon in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). FAP is a rare gene defect that increases the risk of developing cancer of the intestines and colon. OCA is a drug similar to a bile acid the body makes. It is fluid made and released by the liver. OCA binds to a receptor in the intestine that is believed to have a positive effect on preventing cancer development. OCA has been effective in treating primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a liver disease, and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use at a lower dose (10 mg). There have been studies showing that OCA decreases inflammation and fibrosis. However, it is not yet known whether OCA works on reducing the number of polyps in patients with FAP.
Study of NGM831 as Monotherapy and in Combination with Pembrolizumab or Pembrolizumab and NGM438 in Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors
This is a trial investigating the efficacy and safety of Toripalimab combined with bevacizumab and chemotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with advanced microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or DNA mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) colorectal cancer.
