Active clinical trials for "Colonic Neoplasms"

Colorectal cancer remains the commonest cancer among men, and third commonest among women in Saudi Arabia . Presentation with metastatic disease occurs in almost one third of patients , with 5-year survival decreasing significantly from 90% in stage 1 to 14% once the disease is metastatic . There is enthusiasm in the potential for liquid biopsies to provide easily accessible genetic biomarkers for mutational cancer characterization . Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies are widely used in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer that do not harbor RAS mutations (RAS wild type). Hence genotyping of oncogenic RAS mutations is essential prior to the initiation of systemic therapy for such patients as the presence of these mutations predict resistance to EGFR targeted antibodies such as Cetuximab and Panitumumab . Detection of such mutations has been done on tissue biopsies with the disadvantage of this being an invasive procedure, and data suggesting that such testing may not be reflective of the true mutational burden of the disease since a single fragment of tissue may be inadequate to reflect the intratumoral heterogeneity. There is increasing evidence suggesting that liquid biopsies or blood based mutational profiling can provide a more comprehensive molecular profile of the disease, and carries the advantage of being minimally invasive. Serial liquid biopsies can act as a tool to identify spatial and temporal heterogeneity predicting response or resistance to targeted agents, and can shed light into the emergence (or disappearance) of specific mutations that may potentially be targeted with newer anti cancer agents . Circulating cell free DNA (cfDNA) consists of small nucleic acid fragments liberated from cells by rupture, necrosis or apoptosis, and is now increasingly being used to detect RAS (and other) mutations in patients with advanced colorectal cancers. KRAS has remained an "undruggable" target for decades until the most recent evidence that showed a new anticancer drug that targets KRAS G12C mutation. The investigators aim to perform cfDNA testing on patients with advanced colorectal cancers who have no RAS mutations (and hence start on EGFR inhibitors) as baseline, compare the results with mutational analysis on fresh tumor tissue, and perform cfDNA at first progression to determine what mutations have emerged, and specifically look for KRAS G12C mutation, which can be targeted with a new novel anti cancer drug . These patients will be collected over a 12 month period (with the aim of performing this on at least 100 patients), and followed from diagnosis (with baseline cfDNA) and until progression on EGFR inhibitors (where another cfDNA sample will be taken). A detailed proposal delineating this process will follow once accepted. This project is unique as it examines mechanisms of resistance to anti-EGFR inhibitors in our patients with advanced colorectal cancers, determines the prevalence of a specific mutation using liquid biopsies and examining cfDNA use, and may have therapeutic implications in facilitating obtaining KRAS G12C inhibitors for such patients.

This study is an interventional open label prospective study that aims to assess both overall and disease-free survival of patients treated with LDLT for unresectable CRLM. Secondary outcomes are graft survival and donor outcomes in terms of safety and quality of life. Donor selection is performed according to the currently used Institutional and National standards and protocols.

The aim of this study is to assess whether there are differences in PERITONEAL RECURRENCE in patients with Colon Cancer Peritoneal Metastases treated with complete surgical resection and systemic chemotherapy, with (Group 1) or without (Group 2) HIPEC with Mitomycin-C.

Background: Often, metastatic human papillomavirus (HPV) associated cancers cannot be cured. They also do not respond well to treatment. Some forms of colon cancer also have poor responses to treatment. Researchers want to see if a new drug treatment can help people with these types of cancers. Objective: To find a safe dose of entinostat in combination with NHS-IL12 and bintrafusp alfa and to see if this treatment will cause tumors to shrink. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older who have cervical, oropharyngeal, anal, vulvar, vaginal, penile, squamous cell rectal, or another cancer that may be associated with HPV infection or microsatellite stable small bowel or colorectal cancer. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. Their ability to do daily activities will be assessed. They may have imaging scans of the brain and/or chest, abdomen, and pelvis. They may have nuclear bone scans. They will have an electrocardiogram to test heart function. They will have blood and urine tests. They may have a tumor biopsy. Participants with skin lesions may have them photographed. Some screening tests will be repeated during the study. Treatment will be done in 28-day cycles. Participants will get bintrafusp alfa through an intravenous catheter every 2 weeks. They will get NHS-IL12 as an injection under the skin every 4 weeks. They will take entinostat by mouth once a week. They will complete a medicine diary. Participants will get treatment for 2 years. They will have 1-2 follow-up visits in the 30 days after treatment ends. Then they will be contacted every 6 months to check on their health....

To determine the Efficacy and Safety of camrelizumab and apatinib combined with chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6) for MSS/pMMR locally advanced colon cancer.

This is a two-group, parallel, randomized, standard-control phase II study comparing the safety and efficacy of immunotherapy versus standard chemotherapy in patients undergoing T4NX/TXN+ colon cancer surgery with MSI-H or POLE/ POLD1 mutations.This study was conducted in the Department of Gastroenterology, Tumor Hospital of Tianjin Medical University. Patients with MSI-H or POLE/ POLD1 gene mutations confirmed by PCR sequencing or NGS sequencing will be randomly assigned (2:1) to immunotherapy (experimental group) or standard chemotherapy (control group) after signing informed consent. In this study, 30 patients will be enrolled, 20 patients will receive immunotherapy and 10 patients will receive standard chemotherapy. In the immunotherapy group, the treatment regimen was Tirelizumab 200mg, intravenously infused once every 3 weeks until the end of 12 months of treatment, with a total of 17 infused times. Patients enrolled in this group could enjoy the preferential policy of purchasing 7 times and giving 10 times at their own expense. The chemotherapy regimen of the standard chemotherapy group was XELOX regimen, oxaliplatin 130mg/m2, d1, capecitabine 1000mg/m2, orally, bid (half an hour after breakfast and dinner), d1-14, every 21 days. The duration of treatment was determined according to the patient's postoperative pathological stage (3 months for T4N0/ T1-3N1 and 6 months for T4N+/ T1-3N2). Patients received regular and periodic reviews, with imaging evaluations every 3 months for the first 2 years and every 6 months after 2 years. Safety will be evaluated by AE and laboratory tests. After tumor recurrence or metastasis was first detected, tumor tissue biopsies were taken again for NGS sequencing, and all patients were followed up every 3 months until death according to the plan.

This phase I/II trial studies the best dose and side effects of encorafenib, cetuximab, and nivolumab and how well they work together in treating patients with microsatellite stable, BRAFV600E gene mutated colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Encorafenib and cetuximab 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, cetuximab, and nivolumab may work better in treating patients with colorectal cancer compared to cetuximab alone.

The purpose of this study is to compare the short- and long-term survival of laparoscopic surgery and conventional open surgery for T4 colon cancer

This is a multi-center, non-randomised Phase 1b study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ATP128 alone or in combination with BI 754091 and of heterologous prime-boost ATP128 + VSV-GP128 in combination with BI 754091. ATP128 is a self-adjuvanted chimeric recombinant protein vaccine being developed in combination with programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) blockade for the treatment of microsatellite stable (MSS) patients not responding to PD-1 blockade. The PD-1 inhibitor being tested with ATP128 is the BI 754091 (Ezabenlimab) compound which belongs to the human immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) subclass of antibodies. VSV-GP is a recombinant chimeric vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV, Indiana strain Rhabdoviridae) which carries the envelope glycoprotein (GP) of the visceral non neurotropic WE-HPI strain of the Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV, Arenaviridae) instead of the native VSV glycoprotein (G) and is developed as integral part of the prime-boost regimen together with ATP128. The Sponsor plans to enrol 96 patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed stage IV colorectal cancer coming form three different patient populations: Cohort 1a: 6 patients with stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC) having failed standard of care (SoC) therapies Cohorts 1b, 2a, 2c: 30 patients with stage IV microsatellite stable/mismatch repair-proficient (MSS/MMRp) CRC being in stable disease (SD) or partial response (PR) after first line of SoC (4-6 months duration at minimum) Cohorts 2b, 4b: 30 patients with stage IV MSS/MMRp liver-limited disease Patients eligible for this study will be enrolled in one of the 8 cohorts depending on their disease: Patients in Cohort 1a will receive ATP128 as single agent Patients in Cohorts 1b, 2a, 2b, 2c will receive ATP128 in combination with BI 754091 Patients in Cohorts 3, 4a, 4b will receive ATP128 and VSV-GP128 in combination with BI 754091
