NCT ID: NCT04857203 Recruiting - Rectal Cancer Clinical Trials

The Role of Vitamin D in Predicting Response to Neoadjuvant Therapy in Patients With Rectal Cancer

Start date: September 1, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

It has been reported that better local control is achieved and sphincters are preserved at a higher rate with curative resections performed after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced rectal cancers. In addition, it has been reported that local recurrence is reduced and survival is prolonged in patients with complete pathological response to neoadjuvant therapy. Therefore, the importance of predicting patients with pathological complete response has increased. It has been reported that data obtained from PET-CT scans and clinical information such as tumor size, T stage, and N stage may be useful in predicting the response to neoadjuvant therapy in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. Consideration of blood biomarkers in predicting neoadjuvant response can be a very attractive option. Because samples are easily collected, relatively inexpensive to measure, and contain information about different aspects of tumor biology. There are a limited number of blood biomarkers such as CEA and IL-6 that have been studied in the literature. Experimental studies show that vitamin D suppresses inflammation and protects against cancer by triggering differentiation. In 1980, Cedric and Frank Garland stated for the first time that vitamin D may affect the survival of the patient after the diagnosis of colorectal cancer. In later studies, a positive relationship was reported between the serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D - 25 (OH) D and survival rates for colorectal cancer, breast and prostate cancer. In addition, 25 (OH) D serum concentration has been shown to be inversely related to colorectal cancer progression. In the light of all these information, the role of serum vitamin D levels before neoadjuvant treatment in predicting pathological response in patients with rectal cancer is investigated in this study.

NCT ID: NCT04164069 Active, not recruiting - Pancreatic Cancer Clinical Trials

Dasatinib for the Prevention of Oxaliplatin-Induced Neuropathy in Patients With Metastatic Gastrointestinal Cancer Receiving FOLFOX Chemotherapy With or Without Bevacizumab

Start date: September 2, 2020
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase Ib trial studies side effects and best dose of dasatinib in preventing oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with gastrointestinal cancers who are receiving FOLFOX regimen with or without bevacizumab. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as leucovorin, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX regimen), 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. However, the buildup of oxaliplatin in the cranial nerves can result in damage or the nerves. Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Blocking these enzymes may reduce oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy.

NCT ID: NCT04044430 Terminated - Clinical trials for Stage IV Colon Cancer

Encorafenib, Binimetinib, and Nivolumab in Treating Microsatellite Stable BRAF V600E Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Start date: August 31, 2020
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and how well encorafenib, binimetinib, and nivolumab work in treating patients with microsatellite stable, BRAFV600E gene-mutated colorectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Encorafenib and binimetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving encorafenib, binimetinib, and nivolumab may work better in treating patients with colorectal cancer compared to standard treatments.

NCT ID: NCT03154190 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Health Care Coach Support in Reducing Acute Care Use and Cost in Patients With Cancer

Start date: August 8, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies health care coach support in reducing acute care use and cost in patients with cancer. Health care coach support may help cancer patients to make decisions about their care that matches what is important to them with symptom management.

NCT ID: NCT02129218 Completed - Clinical trials for Stage III Colon Cancer

Low Glycemic Load Diet in Patients With Stage I-III Colon Cancer

Start date: February 16, 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This pilot clinical trial studies the feasibility of a low glycemic load diet in patients with stage I-III colon cancer. A low glycemic load diet includes foods that have low scores on the glycemic index. The glycemic index is a scale that measures how much a certain carbohydrate causes a person's blood sugar to rise. A low glycemic load diet may help decrease the chance of cancer coming back and improve the survival in patients with colon cancer.

NCT ID: NCT01302613 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Stage III Rectal Cancer

Altered Chemotherapy Sequencing During Neoadjuvant Therapy for Patients With Stage II or III Rectal Adenocarcinoma

Start date: March 2011
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective of the pilot portion of this study is to establish the safety and tolerability of an extended treatment break period in patients who have undergone neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy as well as use of systemic therapy during this break.

NCT ID: NCT01196000 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Recurrent Rectal Cancer

Laparoscopic Surgery or Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery in Treating Patients With Rectal Cancer That Can Be Removed By Surgery

Start date: December 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery may be a less invasive type of surgery for rectal cancer and may have fewer side effects and improve recovery. It is not yet known whether robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery is more effective than laparoscopic surgery in treating patients with rectal cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial studies robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery to see how well it works compared to laparoscopic surgery in treating patients with rectal cancer that can be removed by surgery.

NCT ID: NCT01191684 Completed - Clinical trials for Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer

Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Colorectal, Stomach, or Pancreatic Cancer

Start date: October 2011
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a gene-modified virus may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vaccine therapy in treating patients with colorectal, stomach, or pancreatic cancer.

NCT ID: NCT01158274 Completed - Clinical trials for Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific

RO4929097 and Capecitabine in Treating Patients With Refractory Solid Tumors

Start date: June 2010
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of RO4929097 when given together with capecitabine in treating patients with refractory solid tumors. RO4929097 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving RO4929097 together with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.

NCT ID: NCT00551421 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Rectal Cancer

Pertuzumab and Cetuximab in Treating Patients With Previously Treated Locally Advanced or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Start date: October 2007
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Monoclonal antibodies, such as pertuzumab and cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving pertuzumab together with cetuximab may kill more tumor cells. This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of pertuzumab when given together with cetuximab and to see how well they work in treating patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer
