Filter by:The objective of this study was to analyze the pathological factors influencing the occurrence and prognosis of SPC in CRC patients of varying ages and compare the differences in the patterns of SPC occurrence and prognosis among patients of different age groups.
skeletal muscle mass and function, is prevalent in up to 60% of colorectal cancer patients. This condition arises from a combination of factors such as aging, inactivity, treatment side effects, malnutrition, tumor burden, and inflammation. Given this complexity, singular interventions may not be sufficient to address sarcopenia in this group. Creatine monohydrate, a compound vital for energy during exercise, has been extensively researched and proven safe and effective across various demographics, including older adults and clinical populations. Studies show that creatine enhances benefits from resistance training, indicating potential to counter muscle mass and function decline post-cancer treatment. This study aims to assess the feasibilty of combining creatine supplementation with resistance training versus resistance training alone in sarcopenic colorectal cancer survivors. A randomized controlled pilot trial will compare a 10-week program of resistance exercise plus creatine (EXSUPP) with resistance exercise alone (EXPLA), each with 20 participants.
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 study aims to investigate the pathological characteristics and surgical outcomes of stage III CRC patients detected through screening. Data extracted from the database included the following patient information: age at diagnosis, gender, tumor location, neoadjuvant therapy, surgical procedures, histologic type, differentiation, vascular invasion, perineural invasion, pathological T stage, pathological N stage, and survival outcomes.
Fluorouracil and oxaliplatin-based combined with molecular targeted drugs are still the main treatment strategies for patients with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Multiple studies have confirmed that anti-PD-1 combined chemotherapy regimens can bring better survival benefits to patients with advanced mCRC. Slulimab is a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody with clear anti-tumor efficacy and easy management of adverse reactions. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of chemotherapy and bevacizumab induction therapy combined with PD-1 monoclonal antibody in the first-line treatment of MSS-type initial unresectable mCRC.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Microsatellite instability or mismatch repair deficiency occurs in 20% of CRC, and is predominantly found in non-metastatic tumors. The success of the CheckMate 142 and KEYNOTE-177 clinical trials has shifted the treatment paradigm of the MSI/dMMR CRC, which has led to the adoption of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) by international treatment standards. However, despite the encouraging effects of ICI, up to 30% of patients are resistant to treatment and exhibit rapid disease progression shortly after starting ICI. On the other hand, around 30% of patients treated with ICI demonstrate prolonged responses to the treatment with a duration of response of over 40 months. Furthermore, for ~10% of patients, treatment with ICI results in pseudo-progression - a phenomenon of a short-term increase followed by the decrease of the tumor volume. Currently, the mechanisms and biomarkers associated with the response or resistance to ICI in MSI-positive CRC are largely unknown. Select studies suggest that BRAF mutations (specifically, BRAF p.V600E) might negatively affect the patients' progression-free survival following ICI, however, these data are premature. The primary hypothesis is that the clonal heterogeneity and the evolution of MSI status of MSI-positive CRC will play a role in the development of ICI treatment resistance. The primary objective of the study is to investigate the dynamics of MSI status in serial liquid biopsy samples from patients with MSI-positive tumors receiving ICI.
To learn if the drug combination of adagrasib, cetuximab, and cemiplimab can help to control metastatic CRC with KRAS G12C mutations.
This research study tests the feasibility of the Physical Activity Centers Empowerment (PACE) physical activity intervention for African American individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Feasibility will be measured as intervention reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance. Seventy-two subjects will be recruited to conduct a pilot two-group, randomized repeated measures study.
Phase 2 study evaluating the efficacy and immune response to a synthetic long peptide mutant KRAS vaccine (SPL mKRASvax) combined with Balstilimab and Botensilimab for unresectable or metastatic mismatch repair-proficient (MMR-p) colorectal cancer (mCRC) or unresectable or metastatic MMR-p pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients with measurable disease following first-line FOLFIRINOX/FOLFOXIRI (FFX).
The BRAVE is a phase II clinical trial aimed at evaluating the efficacy of the combination therapy of encorafenib, cetuximab, and bevacizumab in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) harboring the BRAF-V600E mutation. This mutation is present in about 8-10% of CRC cases and is associated with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. The rationale behind this trial stems from preclinical studies suggesting that the overexpression and activation of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) may contribute to resistance to BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi) in CRC. Thus, the trial hypothesizes that adding bevacizumab, an anti-angiogenic agent targeting VEGFA, to the combination of encorafenib and cetuximab may delay acquired resistance, leading to improved progression-free survival. The primary objective of the BRAVE is to evaluate the antitumor activity of the encorafenib-cetuximab-bevacizumab combination in patients who have experienced disease progression after one or two chemotherapy regimens for BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic CRC. This activity will be assessed based on the confirmed progression-free survival rate according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 criteria.
