Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

A Phase 2, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial for the effectivness of wholistic turmeric supplementation on polyp burden mong patients with Familial Adenomatouse Polyposis (FAP). Fourty Patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to recieve treatment with 8 capsuls (2*4 capsuls/day) of wholistic Turmeric capsules (Pukka herbs) or placebo for six months.

XELOX as first-line treatment regimen has limited efficacy against patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Peritoneal metastasis is one of the most lethal factor for mCRC. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy has became a widely accepted strategy in the treatment of peritoneal dissemination. We hypothesized that combined multi-channel administration, such as intraperitoneal chemotherapy, oral chemotherapy, and intravenous chemotherapy, can produce better results than XELOX for first-line treatment for mCRC patients.

The project aims to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, accuracy and economy efficiency of the application of carbon nanoparticles for tumor localization and lymph nodes mapping in the laparoscopic coloectal surgery.

This is a phase II, open label, multicenter study. Patients with advanced colon rectal cancer (CRC) harboring an amplified HER2 that have been previously treated and progressed with an aNti-HER2 treatment, will be treated with the anti HER2 antibody conjugate trastuzumab emtansine (TDM1). Patients will receive study medication until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or death. Main objective of the study is the evaluation of objective response rate according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. Disease control rate, defined as the sum of complete, partial and stable disease patients over total patient, followed by response duration, time to progression and safety are secondary endpoints.

This is a Phase II multi-center 2-sequential cohorts trial, designed to assess the objective response rate of two anti HER2 combination in advanced disease CRC patients harbouring an amplified HER2 tumor assessed according to HERACLES Diagnostic Criteria by FISH/SISH. Cohort A: monoclonal antibody trastuzumab, used in combination with the small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor lapatinib. Cohort B, monoclonal antibody pertuzumab, used in combination with the antibody drug conjugate trastuzumab-emtansine. Please note that cohort A accrual has been closed and endpoint already reached.

This project intends to make a study of personalized medicine evaluation system establishment for liver cancer, gastric cancer and nasopharynx cancer to provide strong support for the development of Precision Medicine and personalized medicine for the patients of high-incidence-rates cancer in China.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant FOLFOXIRI chemotherapy (irinotecan, oxaliplatin and fluorouracil) in the patients with resectable liver metastasis of colorectal cancer

To estimate progression-free-survival at 6 months in subjects treated in first-line with panitumumab and FOLFOX and with wild type RAS mCRC (metastatic colorectal cancer) confirmed in liquid biopsies before starting second line treatment will be screened for this trial and who have interrupted panitumumab for <3 months (panitumumab continuation). Control arm of subjects treated with FOLFIRI alone will be included. The combinations of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) with oxaliplatin (FOLFOX)are considered the backbone chemotherapy for mCRC. Clinical trials have shown the benefit of adding monoclonal antibodies to subjects without mutations in RAS, directed against the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) (cetuximab and panitumumab) to conventional chemotherapy as first-line treatment of mCRC. This trial purposes to study the treatment beyond progression with panitumumab in subjects treated in first-line with an anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody, or rather,the re-introduction of the same targeted therapy after progression to first line. The clinical hypothesis of this study is that the second-line regimen FOLFIRI + panitumumab, is sufficiently active (defined as a 6-months PFS higher than 30% [based on prior results with second-line FOLFIRI alone] and of at least 50%), justifying further study in this population.

With 42,150 new cases per year, colorectal cancer is the third cause of cancer in France according to the latest report from the Institut national du Cancer (INCa). Second leading cause of cancer death in men, its management is a public health problem. According to projections by WHO, the prevalence of cancers expected to increase 50% by 2050 especially in digestive oncology. These projections can be concluded that the demand for care will continue to be growing. Medical advances and societal leading to increased life expectancy, have operated a mutation of the cancer disease. Formerly fatal disease, it is now a chronic disease in some cases. These changes are causing new challenges for the health system. To address this problem, it is asked health professionals to adapt the organization of health care delivery to improve efficiency, in a constrained economic environment. To this end, action 4.1 of the cancer plan includes the creation of clinical nursing profession, a proposal reiterated in article 120 of the French Health System Law. Nursing clinicians will be empowered to ensure, under certain conditions, prescription treatments protocolized of follow-up tests, further treatment and support, as well as the extension or adaptation of specific treatments. This project is a first step, in France, in thinking around new organizations in the supply of care in oncology. For patients, strengthening their monitoring during chemotherapy, will better know their tolerance regarding chemotherapy. This optimized management of chemotherapy-induced effects will help reduce the use of emergency care. The establishment of such a practitioner will free medical time to handle the most complex patients and perform tasks related to research. For hospital pharmacies this type of organization will optimize their productivity by anticipating orders for chemotherapy pockets. This project represents an opportunity to demonstrate the added value of advanced practice nurses in France in the health system and particularly in oncology. It also adds value to clinical expertise nurse and register the profession in the research. The hypothesis is that the quality and safety of care provided by a nurse practitioner are equivalent to those provided by a doctor at follow-up of patients with gastrointestinal cancer, treated with intravenous chemotherapy.

Anesthetic method was reported to have an impact on postoperative long-term outcome in cancer patients. In this study, we will investigate the effect of different anesthetic methods on NK cell activity, cytokine response and postoperative outcome in colorectal cancer patients undergoing CRS and HIPEC. We will compare propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with balanced anesthesia to determine the effect of propofol, inhalation agent, and opioid on tumor genesis, recurrence, NK cell activity, cytokine response, and postoperative outcome.
