Testing Obeticholic Acid for Familial Adenomatous Polyposis

Attenuated Familial Adenomatous PolyposisColorectal Carcinoma2 more

This phase IIa trial investigates if giving obeticholic acid (OCA) is safe and has a beneficial effect on the number of polyps in the small bowel and colon in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). FAP is a rare gene defect that increases the risk of developing cancer of the intestines and colon. OCA is a drug similar to a bile acid the body makes. It is fluid made and released by the liver. OCA binds to a receptor in the intestine that is believed to have a positive effect on preventing cancer development. OCA has been effective in treating primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a liver disease, and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use at a lower dose (10 mg). There have been studies showing that OCA decreases inflammation and fibrosis. However, it is not yet known whether OCA works on reducing the number of polyps in patients with FAP.

FAPI PET/CT for Lymph Node Staging in Colorectal Carcinoma

Stool DNA to Improve Colorectal Cancer Screening Among Alaska Native People

Colorectal Cancer

Only 59% of Alaska Native people have been adequately screened for colorectal cancer (CRC) despite having the highest reported incidence of CRC in the world. A new at-home multi-target stool DNA screening test (MT-sDNA; Cologuard®) with high sensitivity for pre-cancerous polyps and CRC is now available. MT-sDNA has not been tested for feasibility or acceptability within the Alaska tribal health care delivery system, and it is unknown whether use of this new test will increase Alaska Native CRC screening rates. The long-term study goal is to improve screening and reduce CRC-attributable mortality. The objective of this application is to test the effectiveness of MT-sDNA for increasing CRC screening in Alaska Native communities using a mixed methods, community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach. The study will be conducted in collaboration with regional Tribal health organizations responsible for providing health care to geographically remote Alaska Native communities. Although the proposed implementation strategy is evidence-informed and promising, it is novel in that MT-sDNA has not been evaluated in the tribal health setting or among rural/remote populations. Using the Social Ecological Model, the research will be multi-level, examining influence on patients, providers, and tribal health organizations (THOs). This research study will pursue two specific aims: (1) Identify patient-, provider-, and system-level factors associated with CRC screening preferences, uptake, and follow-up; and (2) test the effectiveness of graded intensity MT-sDNA intervention in the Alaska Native community setting. For the first aim, focus groups with Alaska Native people who are not adherent to CRC screening guidelines and interviews with healthcare providers will be used to identify factors for future intervention. For the second aim, a three-arm cluster randomized controlled trial (high intensity with patient navigation, medium intensity with mailed reminders, usual care) will provide evidence on the MT-sDNA usefulness (MT-sDNA sample quality and neoplastic yield) as well as the first data on MT-sDNA follow up adherence rates in the Alaska Native population, which will inform plans to scale-up the intervention model. This research has the potential to sustainably improve public health by increasing CRC screening rates among a rural/remote tribal population as well as provide a model for other integrated health systems that provide care to high-risk or underserved populations in the U.S. and worldwide.

Adenoma Detection Rate in Artificial Intelligence-assisted Colonoscopy

Colorectal CancerColorectal Adenoma1 more

The goal of this cluster randomized multicenter controlled clinical trial (RCT) is to investigate whether a combined real time computer-aided polyp detection (CADe) and computer-aided polyp characterization (CADx) system (GI Genius, Medtronic) can increase the adenoma detection rate (ADR) and reduce the performance variability among endoscopists. Participants will be randomized (1:1) to either receive an AI-assisted colonoscopy (AIC) or a conventional colonoscopy (CC). If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare the AIC-group and the CC-group to see if AIC can increase the ADR significantly.

Accuracy of Real Time Characterization in Artificial Intelligence-assisted Colonoscopy

Colorectal CancerColorectal Adenoma1 more

The goal of this substudy is to investigate the accuracy of a computer-aided polyp characterization (CADx) system. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • How high is the specificity of the AI system when characterizing colorectal polyps Participants will receive a standard colonoscopy, assisted by the artificial intelligence (AI) assisted system GI Genius. Researchers will compare the AI system´s characterization with the histopathology to see how accurate the system is.

Improve Colorectal Cancer Prevention by Motivational and Community-based Approaches

Colorectal Cancer Prevention

It has been estimated that 19,000 Colorectal Cancers (CRC) could be prevented each year in France by changing individual risk behaviours (sedentary lifestyle, overweight, diet, alcohol). The cancer screening appears to be an opportune moment for health promotion and to inform about CRC risk factors. The PRECÔTION study proposes an innovative scheme based on informative, motivational and community-based approaches. The objectives are to take advantage of patients' visits for colonoscopy to raise awareness and initiate individual prevention actions according to their own risk in order to modify individual risk behaviour. Patients who come for a colonoscopy at the Centre Léon Bérard and who are negative (80% of cases) will benefit from an evaluation to identify their individual risk factors, determine their level of risk level for CRC and their motivation to change their behaviour. Participants with a low level of risk will receive remote support in physical activity and nutrition via digital media based on a motivational approach. Participants will be proposed a monthly collective physical activity session, which will allow them to interact with each other and develop a community approach. Participants with an intermediate level of risk will be offered a collective health education session, in addition to the the support offered to participants with a low level of risk. Participants with a high level of risk will receive, in addition to the the support offered to participants with an intermediate level of risk, an individual motivational coaching and a connected watch. A logbook will also be given to all participants to accompany them on the different tools, especially for monitoring their goals. The PRECÔTION study aims to evaluate these tools as innovative means of prevention before evaluate their effectiveness on a larger scale.

Anesthesia and Postoperative Outcome in Colorectal Cancer Patients

Colorectal Cancer

Study aims to compare the influence of TIVA and sevoflurane anesthesia with or without lidocaine on postoperative short and long term outcome in patients with colorectal cancer undergoing surgery. As short term endpoints postoperative pain and opioid consumption, resumption of bowel function, PONV, LOS will be registered. Long term outcome parameters include: the incidence of chronic pain, 1 and 5 years cancer recurrences incidence and mortality.

Outcome of Resection for Colorectal Cancer

Laparoscopy

There are limited data from retrospective studies regarding whether short-term and long-term outcomes after laparoscopic or robot-assisted radical colectomy (minimally invasive surgery) are equivalent to those after open abdominal radical colectomy (open surgery) among patients with early and medium-stage colorectal cancer. This trial is a multicenter,prospective, randomized trial evaluating short-term and survival outcomes concerning minimally invasive surgery and open surgery for colorectal cancer.
