Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the performance of various tumor response criteria (Choi and RECIST1.1 criteria) in the assessment of regorafenib activity. Moreover, an assessment of the tumor heterogeneity will be made using computed tomographic texture analysis (CTTA)

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) in patients receiving S 95005 + bevacizumab (experimental arm) or capecitabine + bevacizumab (control arm) as first-line treatment for unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer in patients non-eligible for intensive therapy.

A Phase 2 Study with Safety Lead-in, Evaluating TAS-102 Plus Nivolumab in Participants with Microsatellite Stable Refractory Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

This is an open-label, single centre, single-arm phase II study which aims to assess the efficacy and tolerability of triplet combination of capecitabine, oxaliplatin and irinotecan (Xeloxiri regimen) in treating patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer. Clinical data from patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer will be collected and analyzed in this study. The patients' data will be collected and maintained in the Division of medical oncology of the Department of Medicine, Queen Mary Hospital.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, 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. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Hydroxychloroquine may help chemotherapy and bevacizumab work better and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving hydroxychloroquine together with capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and bevacizumab works in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

This phase 2, randomized, active-controlled, open-label, parallel group, multicenter study will be conducted at up to 18 study centers in the US, Central America, and South America. Adult subjects with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) who failed first-line chemotherapy will participate in the study, which will be conducted on an outpatient basis. It is anticipated that 100 subjects will be enrolled to obtain approximately 90 evaluable subjects.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of treatment with hydrofibre dressing in comparison with the efficacy of standard dressing in terms of prevalence of surgical site infections (SSI) in patients who underwent colorectal resection for malignancy.

The purpose of the study is to identify a safe and tolerable dose of BMS-908662 in combination with cetuximab; and then to evaluate the tumor response to BMS-908662 when administered alone or in combination with cetuximab

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy is more effective when given alone or together with surgery in treating patients with colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II/III trial is studying how well chemotherapy works and compares it with surgery followed by chemotherapy in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer that can not be removed by surgery.

The proposed plan will investigate the mechanism and efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine as an adjunct to chemotherapy in treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Our rationale for the therapeutic use of KD018 is its potential activity in reducing chemotherapy-induced toxicity, especially diarrhea.
