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NCT ID: NCT02575508 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

Pan FGFR Kinase Inhibitor BGJ398 and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Untreated Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

Start date: n/a
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of pan fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) kinase inhibitor BGJ398 when given together with fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride and oxaliplatin (combination chemotherapy) in treating patients with untreated pancreatic cancer that has spread to another place in the body. Pan FGFR kinase inhibitor BGJ398 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride 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 pan FGFR kinase inhibitor BGJ398 together with fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride and oxaliplatin may be a better treatment for pancreatic cancer.

NCT ID: NCT02287727 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Rectal Adenocarcinoma

Regorafenib in Reducing Recurrence in Patients With Non-metastatic Rectal Cancer Who Have Completed Curative-Intent Treatment

Start date: March 2015
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial studies how well regorafenib works in reducing the return of disease in patients with rectal cancer that has not spread to another place in the body who have completed curative-intent treatment. Regorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Regorafenib may also help keep cancer from coming back after it has disappeared following the initial therapy.

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: NCT02232152 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Rectal Cancer

CPI-613 and Fluorouracil in Treating Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer That Cannot Be Removed by Surgery

Start date: January 6, 2015
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This pilot phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of CPI-613 when given together with fluorouracil in treating patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and cannot be removed by surgery. CPI-613 may kill tumor cells by turning off their mitochondria. Mitochondria are used by tumor cells to produce energy and are the building blocks needed to make more tumor cells. By shutting off these mitochondria, CPI-613 deprives the tumor cells of energy and other supplies that they need to survive and grow in the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, 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 CPI-613 with fluorouracil may kill more tumor cells.

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: NCT01934179 Terminated - Clinical trials for Stage IV Colon Cancer

Telomere Length in Predicting Toxicity in Older Patients With Stage III-IV Colorectal Cancer Undergoing Chemotherapy

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

This pilot research trial studies telomere length in predicting toxicity in older patients with stage III-IV colorectal cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and predict how well patients will respond to treatment.

NCT ID: NCT01871571 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Stage IIIB Rectal Cancer

Bevacizumab, Fluorouracil, Leucovorin Calcium, and Oxaliplatin Before Surgery in Treating Patients With Stage II-III Rectal Cancer

Start date: August 2, 2013
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial studies how well bevacizumab, fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and oxaliplatin before surgery works in treating patients with stage II-III rectal cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. 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 or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bevacizumab together with fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and oxaliplatin may be an effective treatment for rectal cancer.
