Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety of the trifluridine/tipiracil as replacement of fluoropyrimidines based chemotherapy as first line metastatic colorectal or gastroesophageal cancer regimens in patients with dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is this alternative chemotherapy option a better option in term of safety for this type of patients? - Does the combination of treatments improves the overall safety? - Does the combination of treatments improves the progression-free survival, overall survival, objective response rate and disease control rate? - Does the combination of treatment have an effect on quality of life? Participants will: - Receive the trifluridine/tipiracil with oxaliplatin every 14 days, associated with: - Panitumumab or bevacizumab for colorectal adenocarcinomas - Nivolumab or trastuzumab for gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas. - Have a CT-Scan every 2 months until disease progression - Complete Health-related quality of life questionnaire every 2 months for a maximum of 6 months - Participate to the optional translational research: Blood samples fo DPYD genotyping and pharmacokinetic analysis
This is a Phase: II/III, open-label, multicenter (at least four centers in Germany) study of Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG) in metastatic colorectal cancer patients who are refractory to at least two lines of standard of care chemotherapy and not eligible for local therapy. There is no upper limit in the previous therapy lines. Patients must have documented progression or intolerability to combination chemotherapy including 5-fluoruacil or its prodrugs and derivates, Oxaliplatin and Irinotecan or a combination of the aforementioned. Previous biologicals/antibodies/small molecules including anti-EGFR and anti-VEGF directed therapies are allowed but not mandatory to meet eligibility. Trifluridin/Tipiracil (TAS102) or Regorafenib are allowed but not mandatory as previous therapies for PART I and PART II of the trial. All patients must have a documented Irinotecan-free interval of at least 6 months to be eligible for the study. The study consists of two parts: PART I: a single arm run in phase, treating 20 patients with Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG) PART II: a 1:1 randomized open label phase, comparing 30 patients treated with SG vs. 30 patients treated according to Physicians Choice (PhC). Crossover to the experimental arm (SG) is allowed in case of progression in the standard arm (PhC). PART II will only be started if significant clinical efficacy and activity is observed in PART I.
CRC patients were enrolled and asked about their FDR contacts These FDRs were telephoned and enrolled and randomized to receive either written advice and verbal advice about their cancer risk and screening methods. These FDRs were telephoned after 2 weeks to evaluate their knowledge about CRC risk and method of screening to see which method of giving advice was better.
The goal of this multicenter, single-arm, observational cohort study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of irinotecan in combination with trifluridine-tipiracil and bevacizumab in colorectal cancer with prior oxaliplatin and fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy (including 5-FU/capecitabine/S-1) exposure in the metastatic setting or within 12 months of recurrence.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the feasibility of a web app about colorectal cancer screening in patients with an upcoming primary care appointment. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Among patients who use the web app, what proportion will request a colorectal cancer screening test via the program? - How many patients will respond to a text message intervention to use the web app? Participants will receive a text message informing them of the value of colorectal cancer screening, and inviting them to click a hyperlink to learn more. The hyperlink will take participants to the web app. The web app: 1) asks questions and use algorithms to determine if routine colorectal cancer screening is needed, and 2) if screening is indicated, shows a brief educational video about colorectal cancer screening and allows participants to request a screening test via the program. Researchers will compare four different versions of the text message invitation to see if some messages result in higher program completion rates than others.
The distribution rate of microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) was significantly higher in early-onset colorectal cancer, and early-onset colorectal cancer has a specific mutational profile and relatively high programmed cell death ligand 1(PD-L1) expression, which may be used to guide personalized treatment to better control the disease.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) in the United States (US) is the fourth leading cause of cancer- related deaths. In Puerto Rico (PR), the incidence and mortality rate of CRC is higher (41% and 14%) in comparison to the mainland US (38% and 13%). To reduce mortality, receiving a colonoscopy is considered the gold standard for early detection. Yet Puerto Ricans are less likely to adhere to this recommendation than individuals in the mainland US (52% vs. 65%). Fear of acute pain may contribute to this reluctance despite the administration of sedation and analgesia during the procedure. The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy's recommended current standard of practice is to administer opioids and benzodiazepines to achieve minimal and/or moderate sedation during a colonoscopy procedure. Because patients still have conscious awareness, adding an effective pain distraction tool, such a virtual reality (VR), to their pharmacological standard of care during this short procedure could improve outcomes through decreased opioid and anxiolytic administration. Strong evidence supports VR's effectiveness to distract patients from acute pain during brief medical procedures. To address this translational gap from research to clinical practice within a Hispanic oncology population receiving colonoscopies, an implementation science (IS) framework will be utilized to measure: reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance. RE-AIM is an IS framework that systematically measures and supports sustainable adoption and implementation of evidence-based interventions into clinical practice. The purpose of this IS study will be to evaluate the translation of VR into clinical practice for patients during a CRC screening colonoscopy.
This study will focus on two points: 1. To determine if response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy treatment in rectal cancer can be predicted by analysing data from Fast Field Cycling imaging (FFC), a novel type of MRI technique. 2. To determine if there is evidence that the bacteria living in our mouth and in our large bowel influence the way our body responds to cancer treatment. Rectal cancer which is locally advanced is often managed with pre-operative chemoradiotherapy. The idea is to reduce the size of the cancer and increase the chance of a complete resection at the time of an operation. Interestingly, in approximately 20% of patients a complete response (with no evidence of residual tumour) occurs. As yet, there is no mechanism to predict for complete response before treatment. In this study we seek to assess whether FFC or the microbiota can correlate with response. In this study 60 patients with rectal cancer requiring chemoradiotherapy before surgery will be asked to take part. Each patient will have up to three FFC scans. One scan will be done prior to commencement of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, the second will be arranged for seven to eight weeks after the patient has completed the preoperative treatment and the third will be done before any subsequent surgery (if required). Participants will also be asked to give saliva and bowel motions samples before chemoradiotherapy, and after eight weeks. These samples will have the type and number of bacteria analysed, as well as levels of key products of these bacteria. The FFC imaging scans and the microbiota of the saliva and faecal samples will be analysed and results compared to the response to chemoradiotherapy using standard criteria agreed upon at the regional colorectal cancer Multidisciplinary clinical team meeting.
This clinical trial tests how well an online mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) works to decrease anxiety in patients before a first-time screening colonoscopy. Elevated pre-procedural anxiety can affect patient outcomes including bowel preparation adherence and quality, the amount of sedation required, procedure time, patient satisfaction, cancellation or no-shows, and intention for future cancer screening. Mindfulness is a form of meditation that focuses on staying within the present moment to reduce anxiety. Previous research supports mindfulness practice among cancer survivors to decrease anxiety, fear of cancer re-occurrence, and to improve quality of life. Online MBIs have the potential to include targeted meditations and educational information designed to promote behavior change. This study may help researchers learn whether a mindfulness intervention works to decrease anxiety in patients before a first-time screening colonoscopy.
Heterogeneity concerning survival in synchronous peritoneal metastasis from patients with colorectal cancer exists, thereby further classification is urgently required. This study aimed to validate a PSN-AI model based on DNA ploidy, stroma-tumor fraction, and nucleotyping (PSN) for the prediction of survival of synchronous peritoneal metastasis from colorectal cancer.
