A Phase I Trial Evaluating mFOLFOX6 and Avastin With Nexavar as First-Line Treatment for Metastatic...
Metastatic Colorectal CancerThis research study is being performed at approximately 3 sites associated with Accelerated Community Oncology Research Network, Inc. (ACORN). Approximately 45 subjects will take part in this study. In this study, everyone will receive the same dose of mFOLFOX6 and Avastin. There will be five groups of subjects. Each group of subjects will receive a higher dose of Nexavar than the previous group. This will continue until a subject group has a major side effects from the dose they are given. This is so that the sponsor can determine the highest dose of Nexavar that can be used with mFOLFOX6 and AVastin (this is called the maximum tolerated dose or MTD).
Irinotecan/Cetuximab Followed by XELOX/Cetuximab vs the Reverse Sequence in Metastatic CRC
Colorectal CancerThis phase II study will evaluate which is the best way to administer cetuximab after recurrence in 1st line irinotecan+bevacizumab based treatment and to obtain results of the efficacy of the oxaliplatin+cetuximab combination as 2nd line treatment.
Irinotecan Plus Brivanib in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Enriched for Elevated Levels of Plasma...
Colorectal CancerColorectal AdenocarcinomaThe goal of this clinical research study is to learn if adding brivanib to irinotecan can help control the disease in patients with colorectal cancer that has spread. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.
Pre- and Post-operative FOLFOX Based Therapy for Patients With Colorectal Cancer With Liver Involvement...
Colorectal CancerMetastasesThe purpose of this study is to determine the effect of short-duration pre-operative FOLFOX based therapy on postoperative problems after liver surgery for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
Cetuximab and Capecitabine in Treating Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer That Failed Irinotecan...
Colorectal CancerRATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as cetuximab, 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. Cetuximab may also stop the growth of colorectal cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving cetuximab together with capecitabine may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving cetuximab together with capecitabine work in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
Everolimus in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer That Did Not Respond...
Colorectal CancerRATIONALE: Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well everolimus works in treating patients with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer that did not respond to previous therapy.
Adjuvant Xeloda Plus Eloxatin +/- Avastin After Radical Resection of Liver Metastasis of Colorectal...
Colorectal CancerLiver MetastasesThe primary aim of this study is to investigate whether the addition of the new anti-cancer drug bevacizumab (Avastin) to the combination of the chemotherapeutic agents capecitabine (Xeloda) and oxaliplatin (Eloxatin) reduces (slows down) the recurrence of metastatic disease after a radical resection of liver metastases in patients with colorectal cancer.
Local Ablative Strategies After Endovascular Radioembolization
Metastatic Colorectal CancerThe rationale for this design is initial utilization of a standard-of-care therapy for mCRC (radioembolization) with a dose-calculation algorithm that has been verified as predictive for treatment response. Prediction of treatment failure will enable the proposed subsequent locoregional therapies which were selected based on safety profiles and feasibility. While the goal of this study is assessing feasibility and safety of this approach, the end goal of improving overall patient outcomes by improved hepatic tumor control.
Educational Intervention to Adherence of Patients Treated by Capecitabine +/- Lapatinib
Metastatic Breast CancerColorectal CancerThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the implementation of an educational program on adherence to capecitabine alone or in combination to lapatinib.
A Phase III Study of Xilonix in Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer
Metastatic Colorectal CancerThe purpose of this study is to determine if the True Human Monoclonal antibody Xilonix (MABp1) can prolong the life of colorectal carcinoma patients that are refractory to standard therapy.
