Filter by:This is a multi-site clinical study enrolling 2000 newly diagnosed patients with breast, colorectal, melanoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or non-small cell lung cancer, who are planning to receive one or more systemic cancer directed therapies with chemotherapy and/or (immune checkpoint inhibitors) ICIs.
This clinical trial tests a multilevel intervention at the clinic, provider and patient levels, to improve colonoscopy surveillance in patients with high risk colon polyps. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common and deadly disease that is largely preventable through the detection and removal of colorectal polyps. One million Americans are diagnosed with high risk polyps of the colon or rectum annually and are at increased risk for CRC; however, uptake of recommended repeat colonoscopy in 3 years to reduce CRC risk is low in this group. This multilevel intervention may work to improve timely colonoscopy screening for patients with high risk colon polyps.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of M5A-IL2 immunocytokine (M5A-ICK) combined with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and to see how well they work in treating patients with colorectal cancer or xarcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) positive breast cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) is a protein that is present in most colorectal cancers and in many other cancers, such as breast cancer, as well. SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Cytokines are signaling proteins that help control inflammation in the body. They allow the immune system to mount a defense if germs or cancer or other substances that can make people sick enter the body. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a powerful cytokine able to regulate the immune responses that are important for anticancer immunity. Immunocytokines (also called antibody-cytokine fusion proteins) are small proteins that regulate the activity of immune cells. The M5A-IL2 immunocytokine (M5A-ICK) combines the cancer targeting features of the M5A antibody with the immune system regulation properties of the cytokine IL-2. Giving M5A-ICK in combination with standard of care (SOC) SBRT may work better in treating patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer or CEA positive metastatic breast cancer.
This is a single-arm, single-center, prospective phase I/II study that received standard first-line chemotherapy (FOLFOX,FOLFIRI,XELOX, FOLFOXIRI± targeted therapy). If the first-line chemotherapy regimen is a 2-week regimen, patients need to undergo ≥8 cycles of standard chemotherapy. If the first-line chemotherapy regimen is a 3-week regimen, maintenance therapy is required for patients with unresectable advanced metastatic colorectal cancer who have reached CR,PR,SD (RECIST 1.1) after standard chemotherapy after ≥4 cycles. The eligible patients were screened for maintenance treatment. Maintenance therapy research is divided into the following two phases: Phase IIB fuquinitinib combined capecitabine dose exploration trial (n=6-9) : Phase II: Dose extension trial (n=47) : 47 patients were continued to be enrolled in the dose extension phase trial according to the recommended dose of fuquinitinib combined with capecitabine established in phase iB, and were treated until toxicity became intolerable or disease progression.
In this study, colorectal cancer patients with initially resectable liver-only metastases, as prospectively confirmed by a local multidisciplinary team (MDT) according to predefined criteria, will be tested for RAS and BRAF tumor mutation status. Patients with gene mutant or right-sidedness will be randomised between anatomical resection (AR) or nonanatomical resection (NAR). The primary end-point is the relapse-free survival.
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of Akt/ERK Inhibitor ONC201 (ONC201) in preventing colorectal cancer in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or a history of multiple polyps. ONC201 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Colorectal cancer is the second deadliest malignant tumor worldwide, and liver is the most common site of hematogenic metastasis of Colorectal cancer. Surgery is an effective treatment for colorectal cancer with liver metastasis, however, only 10%-20% of patients with liver metastasis are feasible for radical surgical resection. Many single-center retrospective studies have demonstrated that thermal ablation for liver metastases is comparable to surgery. Chemotherapy can kill the microscopic cancer foci of the liver. The timing of ablation-related chemotherapeutic administration still needs to be explained. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical efficacy of thermal ablation or combined with perioperative chemotherapy and postoperative chemotherapy in the treatment of colorectal cancer with liver metastasis.
Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC), a tumoral tumor of the peritoneum, is a frequent metastatic localization of colorectal cancer (CRC, 13%). Long regarded as a palliative situation, its management has progressed significantly with a curative treatment based on a complete cytoreduction surgery coupled with intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy. However current screening tools, tumor markers (ACE, CA19-9, CA125) and abdominopelvic CT scan are insufficient, to diagnose CP early. A non-invasive biomarker, more sensitive and more specific than currently available tumor markers, would be a major advance in oncology. Microparticles (MPs), vesicles from extracellular membrane budding in response to cell activation or apoptosis of different cell types, have been described as implicated in tumor progression, procoagulant activity associated with cancer, and initiation of metastatic niches. A specific microparticulate (microparticulosome) signature has been reported in patients with CRC, particularly in the presence of a thromboembolic event. However, there is currently no data on PMs and their involvement in CP. In addition, CP and surgery coupled with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy are major risk factors for thromboembolic complications. The characterization of prothrombotic PMs is therefore essential to predict such event. The main objective of this project is to characterize the microparticulate signature of CP of colorectal origin and to compare it with that of CP without CP. The secondary objectives are to compare the microparticulate signature obtained on peripheral venous samples and intraoperative tumor samples, evaluate the evolution of the microparticulate signature between the beginning and the end of the intervention, then correlate the peripheral signature to the oncological follow-up of the patients with CP and the occurrence of a thromboembolic event.
Adenomas, serrated adenomas and hyperplastic polyps are polypoid lesion in the colorectum. At the present moment, all polyps should be resected endoscopically, although only adenomas and serrated adenomas, but not hyperplastic polyps have the potential to develop colorectal cancer. This approach enables the conduction of microscopic investigations of the lesions. By today, only the pathological diagnosis can distinguish exactly between these three polyp entities. Some studies have investigated the value of the optical characterization approach which is based on visual assessment of the polyp' surface structures. Based upon optical polyp features users are encouraged to predict histopathological polyp diagnoses solely on behalf of optical or endoscopical criteria. This method is conducted in real time during colonoscopy. If it could be shown, that endoscopist using the optical characterization approach are able to predict histopathological diagnoses of colonic polyps sufficiently this would possibly lead to simplification of diagnostic procedures. For instance, it would be conceivable to resect small polyps and discard them without further assessment by a pathologist. One problem in this context is a correct differentiation between hyperplastic polyps and serrated adenomas. These two polyp entities are known to show similar optical features. However, while serrated adenomas are premalignant lesions hyperplastic polyps have benign histology and never develop into cancer. It is therefore important to sufficiently distinguish hyperplastic polyps from serrated lesions. In this study we want to investigate whether the use of narrow-band imaging (NBI) would be capable to rise accuracy of optical polyp predictions compared to standard HD white light endoscopy. NBI is a light filter tool which can be activated by pressing a button at the endoscope. The use of NBI leads to an endoscopic picture which appears blue and enables endoscopists to better assess surface structures and vascular patterns. In a prospective randomised multicenter setting we plan to conduct colonoscopy in 370 patients. Half of the patients will be examined without the use of NBI (control arm). In these cases colonoscopists will assess optical diagnosis of polyps without turning on the NBI tool. If polyps are detected in patients belonging to the intervention arm NBI will be used and optical diagnosis will be determined using the WASP (Workgroup serrAted polypS and Polyposis) classification. All polyps will be resected and send to pathology for further microscopic assessment. After completing the trial we aim to compare accuracy of the optical diagnosis in both groups. Our hypothesis is, that by using NBI accordance between optical and histopathological diagnosis can be increased from 80% to 90%.
This study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of FOLFIRI regimen with irinotecan monodrug in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer patients in the second-line setting.
