Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

this work is aim to assess the antitumor effect of silymarin in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer receiving chemotherapy with or without target therapy (Bevacizumab).

The phase II trial tests whether pembrolizumab and dendritic cell-based treatment works to shrink tumors in patients with colorectal cancer that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Pembrolizumab, also referred to as an immune checkpoint inhibitor drug, works by targeting molecules that act as a check and balance system for immune responses. Immune checkpoint inhibitor drugs are designed to either "unleash" or "enhance" the cancer immune responses that already exist by either (1) blocking inhibitory molecules or by (2) activating stimulatory molecules. Dendritic cell-based treatment works by boosting the immune system (a system in our bodies that protects us against infection) to recognize and destroy the cancer cells. This investigational treatment targets cancer cells and is made from the patient's own blood cells. Giving pembrolizumab and dendritic cell-based treatment may help shrink tumors in patients with colorectal cancer.

As an established therapeutic target, HER2 is widely used in a variety of tumors, including breast cancer and gastric cancer, among which a variety of drugs, including trastuzumab, lapatinib and T-DM1, have been approved for the treatment of breast cancer and gastric cancer with HER2 amplification or overexpression. In colorectal cancer, HER2 as a target has also been focused in recent years.

The goal of this observational study is to explore the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic intracorporeal anastomosis in colorectal cancer surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. If intracorporeal anastomosis is safe in terms of short-term outcome? 2. If intracorporeal anastomosis can achieve the same oncological outcome as conventional extracorporeal anastomosis?

Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment has produced striking results in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) of the subtype deficient mismatch repair (dMMR). The majority of patients, however, have proficient MMR (pMMR) tumors, with limited effect of ICIs. The key difference between dMMR and pMMR tumors is the infiltration of cytotoxic T-cells. dMMR tumors have increased infiltration and thus increased efficacy from ICI treatment. The investigators conducted a proof of concept study where the investigators applied an intratumoral (IT) unaltered flu vaccine in ten patients with non-metastatic pMMR CRC. The intervention increased infiltration of cytotoxic T-cells and the immune checkpoint PD-L1, suggesting that IT flu vaccine primes pMMR tumors to ICI treatment. The investigators aim to test the combination of IT flu vaccine and ICI treatment in patients with non-metastatic pMMR CRC in a new trial. The hypothesis is that IT flu vaccine and ICI treatment will synergistically to induce cancer cell death.

Research has found that patients with microsatellite instability (dMMR/MSI-H) type colorectal cancer can achieve long-term survival through immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) treatment, but currently accounting for about 95% of MSS type mCRC, the benefits from immune checkpoint inhibitors are very limited. REGONIVO is a Phase Ib study to explore the efficacy and safety of regorafenib in combination with nivolumab in the treatment of gastric cancer and colorectal cancer with MSS. The study enrolled 50 patients with advanced disease, including 25 cases of gastric cancer, 25 cases of colorectal cancer, except for one case of colorectal cancer with MSI-H, and others were MSS type. The results of the study showed that patients with colorectal cancer had an objective response rate (ORR) of 36%.The ORR of liver matestasis vs. lung matestasis is 8.7% vs. 50%. In this study, pMMR /MSS type patients with refractory advanced colorectal cancer without liver metastasis were selected as the subjects. Regorafenib, Sintilimab and Celecoxib were used to evaluate the maximum tolerable dose, objective response rate (ORR), total survival time (OS), progression free survival time (PFS), disease control rate (DCR), response duration (DoR) and safety of the subjects.

This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of polyvinyl alcohol sodium acrylate embolization microspheres and HepaSphere Microspheres loaded with irinotecan for the treatment of colorectal cancer with hepatic metastases through arterial chemoembolization.

The proposed study is a bidirectional analytical study, composed of a retrospective and a prospective cohorts. Patients with stage II - III colorectal cancer undergoing oncological surgery will be analyzed. The study will include a convenience sample of 100 individuals. Fifty cases will be included retrospectively and fifty prospectively. The study aims to evaluate the benefit of using the Immunoscore test as a predictor of recurrence in patients with operated stage II-III colon tumors. It will also be evaluated the impact on oncologic decision and costs.

This is a multicenter, open, single-arm, phase I/II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of regorafenib plus raltitrexed as third-line treatment in patients with advanced colorectal cancer.

Sexual quality of life is rarely mentioned by physicians during follow-up consultations, even though it is the source of a significant deterioration in quality of life (QOL). The assessment of female sexual function is based on self-administered questionnaires. Four questionnaires have been translated and validated in French: FSFI, PISQ-IR, PISQ-12, BISF. The objective of this project is to determine which questionnaire is acceptable and adapted to a cohort of women living in France who have undergone treatment for rectal cancer
