NCT ID: NCT02270606 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Rectal Cancer

Phase I Study of Neoadjuvant Radiotherapy With 5-Fluorouracil for Rectal Cancer

Start date: December 4, 2014
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of fluorouracil when given together with radiation therapy followed by combination chemotherapy before and after surgery in treating patients with rectal cancer that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving additional combination chemotherapy after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy and fluorouracil followed by combination chemotherapy before and after surgery may be a better treatment for rectal cancer.

NCT ID: NCT02148406 Completed - Fatigue Clinical Trials

Programs to Support You During Chemotherapy (Pro-You)

Pro-You
Start date: August 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies Yoga Skills Training or attention control in reducing fatigue and depressive symptoms during chemotherapy in patients with stage II-IV colorectal cancer. Yoga Skills Training consists of meditation, movement and breathing practices that aim to promote mindfulness and relaxation. Attention control consists of conversations with a caring professional with a recommendation to complete daily home diaries. It is not yet known whether Yoga Skills Training is better than attention control at reducing fatigue and depressive symptoms in patients undergoing chemotherapy.The purpose of this initial feasibility study is to refine study procedures.

NCT ID: NCT02132858 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Rectal Cancer

Genetic Mutations in Blood and Tissue Samples in Predicting Response to Treatment in Patients With Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer Undergoing Chemoradiation

Start date: July 2014
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This research trial studies genetic mutations in blood and tissue samples to see if they can be used to predict treatment response in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer undergoing chemoradiation. Studying samples of blood and tumor tissue in the laboratory from patients with cancer may help doctors learn more about genetic mutations or changes that occur in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and help doctors understand how patients respond to treatment.

NCT ID: NCT01846520 Completed - Clinical trials for Psychosocial Effects of Cancer and Its Treatment

Family Caregiver Palliative Care Intervention in Supporting Caregivers of Patients With Stage II-IV Gastrointestinal, Gynecologic, Urologic and Lung Cancers

Start date: October 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This randomized clinical trial studies the Family Caregiver Palliative Care Intervention in supporting caregivers of patients with stage II-IV gastrointestinal, gynecologic, urologic and lung cancers. Education and telephone counseling may reduce stress and improve the well-being and quality of life of caregivers of cancer patients.

NCT ID: NCT01807117 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Rectal Cancer

PET-MRI in Diagnosing Patients With Colon or Rectal Cancer

Start date: April 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This pilot clinical trial studies positron emission tomography (PET)-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and PET-computed tomography (CT) as diagnostic imaging in patients with colon and/or rectal cancer. New diagnostic imaging procedures, such as PET-MRI, may help find and diagnose rectal cancer or recurrence of colorectal cancer

NCT ID: NCT01741636 Completed - Clinical trials for Stage IIIB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Survivorship Care Planning in Patients With Colorectal or Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Start date: January 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Survivorship Care Planning may improve overall well-being and quality of life of colorectal and lung cancer survivors

NCT ID: NCT01740648 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Rectal Cancer

Trametinib, Fluorouracil, and Radiation Therapy Before Surgery in Treating Patients With Stage II-III Rectal Cancer

Start date: November 26, 2012
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of trametinib when given together with fluorouracil and radiation therapy before surgery in treating patients with stage II-III rectal cancer. Trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving trametinib together with fluorouracil and radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed

NCT ID: NCT01726296 Completed - Clinical trials for Stage IIIB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Adherence to Survivorship Care Guidelines in Health Care Providers for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Colorectal Cancer Survivor Care

Start date: January 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This clinical trial studies adherence to survivorship care guidelines in health care providers for non-small cell lung cancer or colorectal cancer survivor care. The completion of an educational intervention by health care providers may increase compliance and adherence to National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines for survivorship care.

NCT ID: NCT00754494 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Rectal Cancer

Erlotinib Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Stage I-III Colorectal Cancer or Adenoma

Start date: July 2008
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This randomized phase II trial is studying how well erlotinib hydrochloride works in treating patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer or adenoma. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Erlotinib hydrochloride may also stop tumors from growing or coming back

NCT ID: NCT00003799 Completed - Clinical trials for Adenocarcinoma of the Rectum

Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, and Surgery in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer

Start date: May 1999
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of radiation therapy plus chemotherapy followed by surgery and additional chemotherapy in treating patients who have advanced nonmetastatic primary cancer of the rectum. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery may be an effective treatment for rectal cancer
