Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of treatment with Eye90 microspheres in patients with unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) and metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC). Both cause tumors, known as malignant hyper-vascular hepatic neoplasia, that have an abnormally large number of blood vessels attached to them. Eye90 is internal radiation brachytherapy for treatment of malignant hyper-vascular hepatic neoplasia that uses microspheres, tiny glass beads smaller in diameter than a human hair, to provide radiation. The microspheres contain Yttrium-90 (Y90) as the radiation source, which are used to to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. The microspheres are also radiopaque, which means that they can be seen during imaging procedures. The visibility of the microspheres allows the study doctor to confirm the microspheres have been delivered in the tumor; this may help to improve the outcome of treatment.
Researchers are collecting more information to improve treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) with regorafenib. Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is a cancer that starts in the large bowel and involves the rectum (the lowest part of the gut) and has spread to other parts of the body. Regorafenib is available to treat patients with mCRC that have previously been treated with, or are not considered candidates for, available therapies. It is an anti-cancer drug that blocks several proteins called enzymes which are involved in the growth of cancer. It is known that doctors may change the amount (the dose) of regorafenib they give, so that the patients better tolerate the treatment. Little information is however available on the doses of regorafenib given in Spain in usual practice. In this study researchers want to learn how and in which amount regorafenib is usually given to patients with mCRC in Spain. They aim to identify the starting dose of regorafenib and to describe dosing patterns during the first two four-week treatment periods (cycles) according to usual clinical practice. To answer these questions, the researchers will look back at cases that have already happened when the study begins. Medical history data from the day of diagnosis of the mCRC until the day prior to the inclusion in the study is collected from the medical records of adult patients with mCRC. All patients must have started their treatment with regorafenib since January 2017 and have taken regorafenib for at least 3 months. The researchers will collect the information between around June 2021 until around November 2021. The final report is planned to be available in July 2022. No investigational products will be administered in this study. Moreover, no additional visits or laboratory tests will be performed apart from the usual tests/treatments done in usual practice.
Bowel obstruction is a common complication in patients with ovarian, peritoneal and bowel cancer due to a mass or spread of disease, causing narrowing to the gut, as these cancers can grow on the bowel surface. Certain foods may lead to symptoms such as pain, bloating, feeling full, feeling sick, vomiting and difficulty passing a bowel motion. There is limited evidence to establish the best diet to follow when someone is diagnosed with the risk of bowel obstruction and is experiencing symptoms after eating and drinking. The Dietitians at the Royal Surrey have developed a 4 stage bowel obstruction diet which they have been using with patients for 3 years. The 4 stages are clear fluids, all thin liquids, low fibre soft smooth diet, low fibre soft sloppy diet. Depending on the severity of symptoms and the risk of a blockage, patients are asked to follow a certain stage of the diet. They are advised to move up and down the stages as symptoms improve or get worse. This feasibility study aims to investigate if the diet can be used and is effective in clinical practice. The objectives are to see if this diet is easy to follow, can reduce symptoms of bowel obstruction, can improve quality of life, and reduce admissions to hospital because of bowel blockages. Patients at risk of bowel obstruction from colorectal or ovarian cancer are eligible to participate. They will remain in the study for a period of 4 weeks, during which time they will be asked to complete a diet diary and 3 questionnaires.
HepaSphere™ Microspheres loaded with irinotecan received CE mark for the indication of use in embolization of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) to the liver in 2015. The purpose of this registry is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of HepaSphere Microspheres loaded with irinotecan for the treatment of colorectal liver metastasis and add to the understanding of the use and value of this treatment in 'real life' usage conditions.
The Treatment Choices, Duration and Outcomes in Patients with Ras Wild Type (RAS WT) Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC). Retrospective, Multi-Center, Real-World Data Analysis
This is a non-profit phase II, open-label, single-arm study of cetuximab plus avelumab in patients with RAS WT mCRC treated in first line with chemotherapy in combination with an anti- EGFR drug that have had a clinical benefit (complete or partial response) from treatment.
There is a degree of uncertainty regarding the role of perioperative chemotherapy (CTx) in the treatment of resectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). In the clinical practice, the combination of surgery and CTx is increasingly accepted as treatment for CRLM, especially in the context of patients with synchronous disease or metachronous disease with a high risk of recurrence. However, controversy exists whether all patients with resectable CRLM benefit from perioperative CTx. There is paucity of good quality studies on this topic. A pooled analysis of two phase III randomized clinical trial, closed prematurely because of slow accrual, showed a marginal statistical significance in favor of adjuvant CTx. Nevertheless, long term results of the EPOC trial founded benefit in disease free survival (DFS) with no difference in overall survival (OS) when perioperative CTx with FOLFOX4 was compared with surgery alone for resectable CRLM. Furthermore, a retrospective series from Ayez et al showed that patients with a high CRS benefit from neo-adjuvant CTx while in patients with a low risk profile did not. On the other side, another retrospective series from the MSKCC showed the timing of additional CTx for resectable CRLM was not associated with improved outcomes. The ongoing CHARISMA trial is currently comparing the outcomes of neo-adjuvant CTx followed by surgery versus surgery alone in high-risk patients with resectable CRLM. This uncertainty regarding CRLM management may partly be due to the fact that these studies are not well powered to detect minor differences in long term outcomes and they often involved a very heterogenous group of patients with both synchronous and metachronous CRLM, not stratified by clinical risk score (CRS) as described by Fong et al.
Open-label, dose-confirmation and cohort expansion, multicentre, Phase Ib/II study to assess the anti-tumour activity and safety of MEN1611 in combination with cetuximab for the treatment of patients with PIK3CA mutated metastatic colorectal cancer.
This is an efficacy and safety study of olaparib alone or in combination with bevacizumab being compared to bevacizumab with a fluoropyrimidine in participants with unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer who have not progressed following first-line induction. The primary hypotheses are: Olaparib + Bevacizumab is superior to a fluoropyrimidine + Bevacizumab with respect to progression-free survival (PFS) using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR); Olaparib is superior to a fluoropyrimidine + Bevacizumab with respect to PFS using RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR. As of amendment 5 study enrollment is being discontinued and study participants randomized to one of the two experimental arms (olaparib plus bevacizumab or olaparib monotherapy) must discontinue study intervention. Participants who are still on study treatment will no longer have tumor response assessments by BICR.
This is a prospective, single arm, non-interventional project to evaluate the benefit/influence of individualized patient education and guidance with a web-based e-Health platform called CANKADO on patient reported outcomes (PRO) for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The focus will be on patient reported outcomes (PRO), distress, Quality of Life (QoL), Global Health Status, complaints and therapy relevant decisions. All patients will be medically treated according to the standards. The experimental arm will include 40 patients. Those patients will receive one initial coaching before start of therapy. Further appointments for coaching will be scheduled depending on individual patient's need. During treatment period the patient is encouraged of joining therapy actively documenting his state of health and occurring health complaints via CANKADO to give the physician a better overview on the process of patient's health behaviour and preparing him for the next doctor-patient consultation.
