Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

Near-infrared fluorescence-guided oncologic surgery (FGOS) with the use of a tumor specific tracer (SGM-101) developed by Surgimab can provide valuable intra-operative information about tumor location and extensiveness. SGM-101 already proven to be safe and valuable in colorectal cancer. This study aims to prove feasibility for colorectal lung metastases.

According to data from Global Cancer Statistics 2018, colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks second in incidence and fifth in mortality among all cancers in China. The underlying neoplastic progression from adenoma to CRC endures up to 10 years, providing an extended window for CRC detection and screening. Currently, fecal occult blood test (FOBT) and colonoscopy are the main diagnostic and screening methods for CRC in Chinese clinical practice. However, due to low patients' compliance with colonoscopy and poor sensitivity of FOBT, a large proportion of CRC could not be effectively diagnosed and treated at early stage. Therefore, noninvasive fecal DNA detection approach with enhanced performance is urgently needed in clinic. The aim of this trial is to evaluate effectiveness of the Human Multigene Methylation Detection Kit (Fluorescent PCR) for auxiliary diagnosis of colorectal cancer. By assessing the level of DNA methylation of certain genes in human stool, the test can indicate whether cancerous and precancerous lesions exist in the areas of colon and rectum.

Immunonutrition (IN) appears to reduce infective complications and in-hospital length of stay (LOS) after gastrointestinal surgery. More specifically, it seems to be beneficial also in colorectal cancer surgery. Potential benefits of combining preoperative IN (PIN) with protocols of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in reducing LOS in laparoscopic surgery are yet to be determined.

Colorectal cancers are the third most common type of cancer in the world. Peritoneal carcinomatosis and intraabdominal acid development occur in advanced stages of colorectal cancers. It is known that the immune system plays an important role in tumor development or tumor eradication. Among the mechanisms of escape from the immune system, changes in the tumor microenvironment play an important role. Immune checkpoints are molecules that have become popular especially after the Nobel Prize in 2018, and are important in revealing the relationship between cancer and the immune system. In our study, it is aimed to evaluate whether there is a difference in intraabdominal ascites fluid immune checkpoints level in patients with advanced colorectal cancer patients compared to patients without malignancy.

Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality. CRC-related death can be prevented through fecal occult blood test screening. Because of economic and high sensitivity, fecal immunochemical test is recommended for screening population of CRC. The purpose of this study is to compare the accuracy of 4 different fecal occult blood testing in medium and high risk screening population in Chinese.

Establishing the genetic map of primary and secondary resistance of Chinese wild RAS colorectal cancer received anti-EGFR treatment through tissues and peripheral blood NGS testing. Combination genetic data with clinical characteristics, prognosis and treatment data to explore the molecular mechanism of resistance of anti-EGFR-antibody.

Early detecting and removing of colorectal advanced adenomas can reduce incidence of colorectal cancer. Because of the less bleeding of advanced adenomas, the sensitivity of existing quantitative fecal immunochemical test (qFIT) is unsatisfying. A new technology qFIT, which have a higher sensitivity in extremely low concentration of hemoglobin compared with existing commercially available qFIT, is developed and this study will prove the high diagnostic accuracy in detecting colorectal advanced adenoma.

Collection of real world data on the clinical efficacy of trifluridine/ tipiracil (FTD/TPI) in the Greek population.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is diagnosed in one million patients each year worldwide and is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death. Peritoneal metastasis (MP) is seen in 10% of CRC patients and is the metastatic site with the worst prognosis. Complete cytoreduction surgery (CCS) is the only treatment that allows for prolonged survivals. Five-year overall survival (OS) after CCS ranges from 30% to 60% compared with 0 to 5% with exclusive medical treatment. Chemotherapy (CT) with fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin and/or irinotecan 3 months pre-operatively and 3 months adjuvant is widely used. The benefits of perioperative CT have been demonstrated in another resectable metastatic site, the liver and has become by extension a therapeutic standard in France for CRC MPs. However, the impact of delay in the initiation of surgery and adjuvant or neoadjuvant CT is unknown for CRC MPs. Several deleterious oncologic effects are related to a long period without treatment between Neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery: Surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. Several meta-analyses have demonstrated, for at least 13 different cancers, a continuous association between delays in treatment (CT, radiotherapy, or surgery) and cancer mortality. For CRC, Hanna's meta-analysis showed that for every 4-week delay in adjuvant surgery or CT, the risk of cancer death increased by 6 and 13%, respectively. These long delays between CT and excisional surgery also decrease survival in patients with liver metastases from colorectal origins and MPs from ovarian origins but this has never been evaluated in patients with MPs from colorectal origins. Demonstrating an oncologic impact of therapeutic delays would have several strategic practical impacts such as: Promoting pre- and post-operative rehabilitation programs to facilitate recovery and reduce time to retreatment. To use more easily techniques (protective stoma, multi-stage surgery) limiting the risk of complications and therefore the delays in treatment. Propose clinical research protocols aimed at reducing these delays with knowledge of plausible statistical hypotheses. A therapeutic strategy of shortening the time between each treatment therefore deserves to be evaluated in metastatic forms of colorectal cancer. The investigators would like to evaluate the hypothesis that shortened time between treatments could have a prognostic impact on recurrence-free survival.

In asymptomatic Stage 4 colorectal cancer, the treatment varies between many hospitals and countries. Some studies found that primary tumor resection had better survival rates and a lower risk of mortality. But many studies found significant benefits in survival in sub groups of the population such as age less than 70 years, WHO performance status <2, no extra-hepatic metastasis, liver tumor burden <50%. However some studies showed no survival benefits in primary tumor resection. So this study will focus on survival, adverse events, complications in primary tumor resection and no primary tumor resection in asymptomatic Stage 4 colorectal cancer.
