Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

This is an implementation science study that examines implementation of a single intervention and the development of practice-level implementation strategies to facilitate implementation of the intervention.

This is a prospective randomized trial to improve the results of treatment of patients with colorectal neoplasms.

In the last decade, many innovative systems have been developed to support and improve the diagnosis accuracy during endoscopic studies. CAD-Eye™ (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan) is a computer-assisted diagnostic (CADx) system that uses artificial intelligence for the detection and characterization of polyps during colonoscopy. However, the accuracy of CAD-Eye™ in the recognition of remaining lesions after endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) has not been broadly evaluated. Finally, based on the importance of complete resection of the colonic mucosal lesions, namely suspicious high-grade dysplasia or early invasive cancer, the investigators aimed to assess the accuracy of CAD-Eye™ in the detection of remaining lesions after the procedure.

This study is a clinical validation of PolyDeep, a computer-aided polyp detection (CADe) and characterization (CADx) system. PolyDeep Advance 2 is a multicentric randomized clinical trial with a tandem colonoscopy design. The hypothesis of this study is that Polydeep assisted colonoscopy will reduce the number of missed adenomas in the first withdrawal.

The study aims to evaluate the impact of promoting advice on the latest evidence-based diet and lifestyle recommendations for cancer prevention at colorectal cancer (CRC) screening among individuals who may be at higher risk for developing CRC. The overall aim of this LIFE-SCREEN pilot study is to test the trial methods and procedures to be used in the LIFE-SCREEN cluster randomized RCT, in order to discover obstacles and problems prior to the main RCT so that corrective actions can be taken to improve the research process. The patients (n=40) will be recruited at the Centre Léon Bérard and at the Hôpital Edouard Herriot at the time of CRC screening. After inclusion, the intervention material (documents explaining the strategies to achieve and maintain recommended behaviours as part of a healthier lifestyle) may be given to the patient during the pre-colonoscopy consultation and/or at the post-colonoscopy visit. Weight, height and blood pressure will be measured during the pre-colonoscopy consultation. Patients will be invited to complete a baseline questionnaire to collect information on their lifestyle, state of health and socio-demographic status. Approximately four to six weeks after, patients will also be asked to complete an evaluation questionnaire asking for their opinion on this material and the procedures. Focus groups with available and willing participants and hospital staff will be organized at the end of the pilot phase recruitment, to gather additional information on the intervention procedures. In addition, all hospital staff will be asked to complete an assessment questionnaire. Biological samples will then also be collected to test the objective baseline measure of nutritional changes used in the RCT. In order to assess the feasibility and the acceptability of urine, faecal and blood sample collection in this population, the first ten participants recruited (n=10) will be given the option to refuse one or more of the biological sample collections (phase I). Participants will also be asked to complete a questionnaire to provide information on their opinion and willingness to donate biological samples. This assessment questionnaire will allow us to refine the strategies for the other 30 participants (phase II). In this phase II, biological samples will be compulsory (phase IIa) or optional (phase IIb) for all 30 participants.

Eligible patients with high risk colorectal malignancy (T3/4, spread greater than 5mm, EMVI positive) will have additional surveillance of breath hold T1, T2 and DW-MRIs (no IV contrast) post surgery six monthly for three years. Findings of liver MRIs as reported by radiology PI will be shared with their local MDT who make decisions as appropriate, including the management of any identified liver metastases, according to local protocol.

This study uses the opinions of adults between the ages of 45 and 73 years old to develop and test an interactive nutrition module for use in an existing colorectal cancer screening intervention using virtual human technology. This study will contribute to knowledge of what messages and graphics promote understanding of cancer risk and promote screening.

This project aims to implement a multi-level group randomized trial, delayed intervention that includes components targeting clinics, providers, patients, and the community to increase colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, follow-up, and referral-to-care among patients age 50-74 in 12 counties in Appalachian Kentucky and Ohio. The 12 counties will be assigned to one of two study groups (early vs. delayed) and outcome measures (rate of CRC screening) will be obtained from clinic-level electronic health record data and a county-level behavioral assessment telephone survey. The hypothesis for the project is that the multi-level intervention will increase the clinic and county level CRC screening rates.

The purpose of the study is to determine if the type of catheter used in the mapping procedure prior to radioembolization improves the delivery of radioactivity to tumor(s) in participants with liver cancer. The name of the devices involved in this study are: Pressure Enabled Drug Delivery (PEDD)/TriNav Infusion System Standard 2.4F microcatheter, not otherwise specified

Studies have shown that people who are more physically fit prior to surgery do better after surgery. For this reason, it may be helpful for people who are going to have abdominal surgery for cancer to exercise before surgery to increase fitness. In this study, patients will be assigned to either maintain their current activity, or increase activity to 5 days a week, 40 minutes per day, of either continuous moderate activity or intervals of moderate and vigorous activity (three groups). All participants will wear an Apple watch, and participants in the exercise groups will use a smartphone application to get feedback on activity and encouragement to reach activity goals.
