Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of CS-1008 in combination with irinotecan compared to irinotecan alone on Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in subjects with metastatic or advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) who have failed oxaliplatin-based first-line treatment.
This study is for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have not been treated with chemotherapy for their cancer. The purpose of this study is to find out if Capecitabine and Sunitinib can be used together to improve progression-free survival in colorectal cancer. All patients will take two medicines (Sunitinib and Capecitabine) by mouth every day until their cancer gets worse.
This trial is designed as a phase II evaluation of the effect of CY-503 or placebo on progression free survival (PFS) defined as the time from start of treatment until the objective observation of progressive disease (PD) or death from any course in patients with chemotherapy-refractory metastatic colorectal cancer.
Molecular imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) using [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) has been suggested as an early, sensitive marker of tumour response to anticancer drugs by monitoring the changes in glucose metabolism in tumours. Recently, FDG-PET has shown to be highly sensitive in detecting early response in other tumours. In this study, the investigators will prospectively investigate the role of early FDG-PET (at day 7 and week 6) in outcome prediction.
Triplets of irinotecan, oxaliplatin and infusional 5-fluorouracil(FU)/leucovorin (LV) are associated with high response rates and long survival as first-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The oral fluoropyrimidine, capecitabine, is better tolerated and shows better response rates than 5-FU/LV in metastatic colorectal cancer. A phase I dose-escalation study established dose limiting toxicity (DLT), maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II doses (RPIID) of irinotecan, oxaliplatin and capecitabine. This phase I /II study is to determine dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), phase II recommended dose (RD) of IXO and bevacizumab combination and safety at the RD in an expanded cohort.
This research study is being performed at approximately 3 sites associated with Accelerated Community Oncology Research Network, Inc. (ACORN). Approximately 45 subjects will take part in this study. In this study, everyone will receive the same dose of mFOLFOX6 and Avastin. There will be five groups of subjects. Each group of subjects will receive a higher dose of Nexavar than the previous group. This will continue until a subject group has a major side effects from the dose they are given. This is so that the sponsor can determine the highest dose of Nexavar that can be used with mFOLFOX6 and AVastin (this is called the maximum tolerated dose or MTD).
This study will evaluate the efficacy of Irinotecan,Capecitabine and Avastin combination in patients with no response to previous treatment with 5-Fluorouracil,Leucovorin,Eloxatin and Avastin.
The purpose of this study is to see if alternating chemotherapy with erlotinib increases tumor shrinkage in people with metastatic colorectal cancer. The investigator will also be studying the side effects (good and bad) of alternating chemotherapy with erlotinib on metastatic colorectal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine confirmed objective response rate to combination therapy with cetuximab plus XELOX for 4 cycles followed by maintenance treatment with cetuximab plus capecitabine as first line treatment in elderly patients with metastatic colorectal cancer
To document the antitumor activity of capecitabine in combination with erlotinib in patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer. Time to tumor progression, objective response rate, time to confirmed response rate, duration of confirmed response rate, time to treatment failure, and CEA response will be assessed.
