Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

RGX-202-01 (ompenaclid) is a Phase 1, first-in-human, dose escalation and expansion study of RGX-202-01 as a single agent and in combination with FOLFIRI +/- bevacizumab. RGX-202-01 is a small molecule inhibitor of the creatine transporter SLC6a8, a novel metabolic target that drives gastrointestinal cancer progression. During the dose escalation stage, multiple doses of orally administered RGX-202-01 with or without FOLFIRI +/- bevacizumab (single agent or combination therapy) will be evaluated in patients with advanced gastrointestinal tumors (i.e., locally advanced and unresectable, or metastatic) who have had PD on available standard systemic therapies or for which there are no standard systemic therapies of relevant clinical impact. In the expansion stage: Patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) RAS Mutant will be treated at the optimal dose.

PD-1(programmed death protein 1)antibody has been to approved in patients with MSI-H/dMMR advanced cancer and has achieved significant efficacy. It is reported that the objective response rate of Pembrolizumab and Nivolumab are 40% and 31.1% in MSI-H/dMMR (microsatellite instability-high/deficiency mismatch repair )colorectal cancer. What's more, most of the patients who had response for PD-1 antibody achieved a long duration of disease control. However, not all patients with MSI-H/dMMR was sensitive to PD-1 antibody despite it is a biomarker for PD-1 antibody treatment. There were about 50-60% of patients with MSI-H/dMMR were insensitive and we don't know why. What's more, it's reported that tumor mutation burden (TMB) may be another biomarker of response to PD-1 therapy. COX (cyclooxygenase)inhibitor has been proved to prevent adenomas in colorectal and it is safe for most of the patients. Preclinical models also showed that COX inhibitor could act with PD-1 antibody in mice and control disease progress. So, this study aims to evaluated efficacy and safety of combination of PD-1 antibody and COX inhibitor in patients with MSI-H/dMMR or high tumor mutation burden colorectal cancer.

This study is designed to evaluate the short-term and long-term results after three-port laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer（TLSC） compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer（CLSC）.

Background: Many people with colorectal cancer get liver metastases. Standard treatment for this is a combination of chemotherapy drugs. Directing the chemotherapy to the liver may be effective. A device that does this a pump that delivers drugs over 2 weeks at constant rate into the hepatic artery. The person s body temperature causes the drug to flow from the pump. Researchers want to see if this helps people with colorectal metastases to the liver. Objective: To study the effectiveness of a hepatic artery infusion pump at treating colorectal metastases to the liver. Eligibility: Adults at least 18 years old with colorectal metastases to the liver Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Heart, blood, and urine tests Scans Participants will stay in the hospital a few days. A small plastic tube (catheter) will be inserted in an artery into the liver. The catheter will be attached to the pump. That will lie under the skin on the abdomen. It will be small and participants will be able to feel it. Participants will get treatment in 28-day cycles. Every Day 1, they will have physical exam, symptom review, and blood tests. Every 2 weeks, they will come to the clinic to get chemotherapy by a catheter or port. Every 12 weeks, they will have a scan. Tissue samples may be taken during the study. When they finish the drug, participants may have the pump removed. They will repeat the Day 1 tests. They will be called every 6 months to see how they are doing.

The study is designed as phase III, randomized, two armed, parallel, double blind (patient and assessor blinded), active controlled, and equivalency clinical trial with primary endpoint of Progression-Free Survival of Cetuximab® (produced by CinnaGen) compared with Erbitux® (Cetuximab, the reference drug) in patients with RAS wild-type Metastatic Colorectal Cancer with the allocation ratio of 2:1.Patients who met the following criteria could be recruited to receive the mentioned intervention randomly. Inclusion criteria: Male or female older than 18 years old, histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum which is metastatic, having one or more bi-dimensionally measurable lesions as defined by RECIST criteria, tumor that could not be resected for curative purposes,ECOG performance status score of 2 or less,life expectancy of longer than 3 months (clinical assessment),evidence of tumor EGFR expression (expanded wild-type RAS),adequate organ and marrow function as defined: ANC ≥ 1,500/mm3 Plt ≥ 100,000/mm3 Hb ≥ 9 g/dL (may have had blood transfusions) AST/ALT ≤ 2.5 IULN or ≤ 5 IULN with known liver metastases Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 IULN Serum Creatinine ≤ 1.5 IULN INR ≤ 1.5 and PTT ≤ 1.5 IULN

Colorectal cancer of Mismatch Repair-deficient (dMMR)/ Microsatellite Instability-high (MSI-H) accounts for approximately 15% of all colorectal cancer patients, with a higher proportion in right colon cancer. Previous studies have found that colon cancer patients with dMMR/MSI-H cannot benefit from 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) adjuvant chemotherapy. Once patients have distant metastases, they are not sensitive to traditional palliative chemotherapy, and the prognosis is significantly worse than that of mismatch repair-proficient (pMMR)/microsatellite stability (MSS). A phase II clinical study of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy based on mismatch repair (MMR) status published in 《N Engl J Med》 showed that the objective response rate (ORR) of advanced colorectal cancer patients with dMMR received anti-PD-1 is 40%, and a longer response time can be obtained compared to conventional chemotherapy. Anti-PD-1 neoadjuvant therapy has proven to be safe and feasible in lung cancer, bladder cancer and malignant melanoma, and can achieve more than 40% of major pathological response. However, there are no reports of anti-PD-1 neoadjuvant therapy for the dMMR/MSI-H colorectal cancer. Therefore, the aim of this study was to find the best multidisciplinary treatment for resectable colorectal cancer patient with the dMMR/MSI-H phenotype and to explore whether cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors combined with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) could further improve efficacy.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of adjuvant HIPEC with Mitomycin C after colectomy in the treatment of colorectal cancer patients at high risk of peritoneal carcinomatosis.

The COLT trial is an investigator-driven, multicenter, non-randomized, open-label, controlled, prospective, parallel trial, aimed at assessing the efficacy (in terms of overall survival: OS) of liver transplantation (LT) in liver-only CRC metastases, compared with a matched cohort of patients bearing the same tumor characteristics, collected during the same time period and included in a phase III Italian RCT on triplet chemotherapy+antiEGFR

This phase II trial studies circulating cell-free tumor DNA testing to guide treatment with regorafenib or TAS-102 in patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to other areas of the body. Studying samples of blood from patients with colorectal cancer may help doctors understand how well patients respond to treatment. Regorafenib and TAS-102 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known how well ctDNA testing works in guiding treatment with regorafenib and TAS-102 for patients with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer.

This phase II trials studies how well pembrolizumab and vactosertib work after standard of care chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver that can be removed by surgery (resectable hepatic metastases). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Vactosertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pembrolizumab and vactosertib after standard of care chemotherapy, but before liver metastases surgery, may help shrink the cancer prior to surgery. This study also investigates pembrolizumab and vactosertib after liver metastases surgery, decrease the risk of the cancer recurring (coming back).
