Active clinical trials for "Colonic Neoplasms"

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of alisertib when given together with irinotecan hydrochloride in treating patients with advanced solid tumors or colorectal cancer. Irinotecan hydrochloride and alisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This is a first-in-man, phase I clinical research study with BKM120, a potent and highly specific oral pan-class I phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor. The study consists of a dose escalation part followed by a MTD expansion part. Once the MTD has been defined, the MTD expansion part will be opened for enrollment.

This phase I clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving gamma-secretase inhibitor RO4929097 and cediranib maleate together in treating patients with advanced solid tumors. Gamma-secretase inhibitor RO4929097 and cediranib maleate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cediranib maleate also may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects (good and bad) that a cancer vaccine has on you and your cancer. The cancer vaccine is called Ad5 [E1-, E2b-]-CEA(6D)or ETBX-011 and is made by Etubics. This vaccine is based on a virus called an adenovirus but it has been changed to express the protein CEA that is found on some cancer cells. Therefore, the vaccine can tell the immune system to attack cancer cells which make CEA. The investigators are trying to determine whether giving this virus is safe and whether this causes a strong immune system attack on the cancer. ETBX-011 is an investigational drug.

This phase II trial is studying how well giving sorafenib together with bevacizumab works in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, 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. Sorafenib and bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving sorafenib together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells

This is a Phase I study of Perifosine + Capecitabine for patients with advanced colon cancer.

This phase 1/2, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AMG 655 when combined with mFOLFOX6 and bevacizumab compared with mFOLFOX6 and bevacizumab alone in subjects with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). The clinical benefit of AMG 655 in combination with mFOLFOX6 and bevacizumab will be measured by progression-free survival, objective response rate, time to response, duration of response, and overall survival. This study is also designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMG 655 in combination with mFOLFOX6 and bevacizumab and to evaluate anti-AMG 655 antibody formation and the pharmacokinetics of AMG 655.

This project consists of two independent, following specific eligibility criteria and different randomisation schemes studies, later on called DURATION study and BEV study. Once randomised in the duration study, patients fulfilling eligibility criteria for BEV study may also be randomized to receive BEV or no BEV, in addition to FOLFOX-4 chemotherapy. As both are open label studies, there will be no blinding of treatment assignment.
