Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

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 find tumor cells and kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving capecitabine and oxaliplatin together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving oxaliplatin and capecitabine together with bevacizumab works in treating patients with metastatic or recurrent colorectal cancer.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of treatment with ABX-EGF on best overall objective response rate by modified RECIST (confirmed complete or partial response) in Japanese subjects with metastatic colorectal cancer.

This phase II trial will investigate the combination of adjuvant 5-fluorouracil, radiation, and bevacizumab in patients with stage II and III rectal cancer, followed by FOLFOX6 and bevacizumab. Fluorouracil (FU) has proven to be an effective and safe regimen in the treatment of stage II and III rectal cancer. Recent evidence has proven fluorouracil/leucovorin (FL) in combination with bevacizumab is superior to FL alone and when combined with irinotecan is superior to (irinotecan plus fluorouracil/leucovorin (IFL) alone. This trial will be one of the first clinical trials to evaluate a combination of targeted therapy, radiation, and chemotherapy in the adjuvant treatment of a common solid tumor.

This trial is designed to assess the tolerability and efficacy of simvastatin plus FOLFIRI (irinotecan, 5-FU, leucovorin) in metastatic colorectal cancer patients.

This is a Phase 1 open-label study of SN2310 Injectable Emulsion in patients with advanced solid malignancies. The study is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicity of SN2310 Injectable Emulsion, and to characterize the pharmacokinetics of SN2310 and SN-38 following intravenous administration of SN2310 Injectable Emulsion. Additionally, evaluation of side effects as a function of dose, and observation of any anti-tumor effects of SN2310 Injectable Emulsion will be made.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug is a way to kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of uracil, tegafur,and leucovorin compared with fluorouracil plus leucovorin in patients with resected stage II or stage III colon cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the treatment effect of panitumumab plus FOLFIRI compared to FOLFIRI alone as second line therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer.

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of capecitabine (2000 mg/m2/day by mouth [po], day 1 pm-day 15 am every 3 weeks [q3w]), oxaliplatin (130 mg/m2 intravenously [iv], day 1 q3w) and bevacizumab (7.5 mg/kg iv, day 1 q3w) in patients with advanced and/or metastatic colorectal cancer.

The primary purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of AZD2171 in combination with FOLFOX to the efficacy of bevacizumab in combination with FOLFOX, in the second-line treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer

This study is designed as Phase II/III. Phase II is aimed to evaluate safety and efficacy of IRIS, and feasibility of FOLFIRI. Phase III is aimed to verify inferiority of the progression free survival of IRIS in comparison with FOLFIRI.
