Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

The goal of this clinical trial] is to compare in resectable stage T3-4N2 colorectal cancer. The main question it aims to answer is: whether the use of targeted therapy in combination with adjuvant chemotherapy is associated with improved disease-free survival (DFS) compared to adjuvant chemotherapy alone.

patients who meet the enrollment criteria will be randomized 1:1:1:1 to the different doses of lidocaine or the placebo group. In the lidocaine groups, at the beginning of surgery, lidocaine 0.5mg/kg, 1.0mg/kg, and 1.5mg/kg per hour were continuously infused (using ideal body weight) respectively during the whole procedure. In contrast, the control group was infused with the same dose of normal saline. All the infusion procedures will be stopped at the end of surgery

The LIVACOR - Trial is a European wide, randomized controlled, open-label, multicenter trial. Patients with synchronous colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs) and primary colorectal tumor are considered eligible and will be randomized between minimally invasive (MI) combined or staged colorectal resection (all colectomies, including high anterior resection) and liver resection of up to three segments.

The rationale of the current study is that the addition of intraperitoneal irinotecan (75 mg) to palliative systemic therapy is feasible and safe, and might result in an increased overall and progression free survival in patients with unresectable colorectal peritoneal metastases. The primary objectives are to explore the overall survival for the addition of intraperitoneal irinotecan (75 mg) to palliative systemic therapy in patients with unresectable colorectal peritoneal metastases. Secondary objectives are to assess the progression-free survival, toxicity profile, patient reported outcomes, costs, tumor response during trial treatment, and the systemic and intraperitoneal pharmacokinetics of irinotecan and SN-38. This is a single-arm, open-label, phase II study and patients will receive intraperitoneal irinotecan (75 mg) in combination with modified FOLFOX4 + bevacizumab.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a second-look laparoscopy, followed by peritonectomy, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) or systemic chemotherapy in case of peritoneal carcinosis, improves the overall survival of patients who have had radical resection of mucinous colorectal cancer.

This study is a randomized phase II trial between microwave ablation (MWA) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) - two standard treatment modalities for colorectal patients with metastatic disease in the liver. Primary endpoint is freedom form local lesion progression.

This is a randomized, controlled, parallel, multicenter trial to determine the difference in post-operative anastomotic leakages in colorectal surgery, where anastomosis perfusion is evaluated using indocyanine green fluorescence imaging as an addition to standard surgical practice compared to surgical practice alone.

Patients with histologically proven adenocarcinoma of the rectum will receive pelvic radiotherapy to a dose of 45Gy in 25 fractions with a tumor boost to a dose of 9Gy in 5 fractions (thus total of 54Gy/30Fx to the primary tumor), combined with radio sensitizing chemotherapy. Patients will then be closely monitored, through endoscopy and imaging, for response to treatment and relapse. Salvage oncologic surgery to be offered if there is failure to achieve complete clinical response or in the event of a loco regional relapse.

The main clinical hypothesis is that compared to radio-chemotherapy for low and mid rectal tumors or surgery for high rectal tumors neoadjuvant chemotherapy reduces the rate of distant relapse without increasing the rate of local relapse. The aim of the present study is to compare long term and short term outcomes in rectal cancer patients undergoing standard treatment (radio-chemotherapy/surgery) or experimental neoadjuvant chemotherapy/surgery Furthermore, early surgical and medical complications, the functional outcome, toxicity and quality of life (QoL) may be improved if radiotherapy can be avoided. Exploratory analyses are planned in order to find potential predictive markers for selecting patients to either radio-chemotherapy/surgery or neoadjuvant combination chemotherapy/surgery.
