Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

Approximately two-thirds of all colorectal cancer patients undergo surgery with the aim of curing them. However, despite the surgery, 20-25% of them experience relapse. It is possible to reduce the risk of relapse with chemotherapy, but as chemotherapy is associated with significant side effects, it is only given to patients at high risk of relapse. Currently, the risk is assessed based on an examination of the removed tumor tissue. In a previous research project, blood samples were taken after patients' surgery and examined for the presence of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). When cancer cells in solid tumors die, they release DNA, which can be detected in the blood. DNA in the blood has a half-life of less than 2 hours, so if ctDNA is found in a blood sample taken, e.g., 14 days after surgery, the patient most likely still has cancer cells in their body. The results show that if a patient has ctDNA in their blood after surgery, the risk of relapse is high. The presence of ctDNA in the blood has the potential to be a better indicator of the risk of future relapse than the tumor examination used today. Therefore, ctDNA analysis has the potential to become a marker that will be used in the future clinical setting for monitoring colorectal cancer. The overall objective of this study is to confirm that ctDNA found in a blood sample after intended curative treatment for CRC is a marker of residual disease and risk of recurrence and is applicable in clinical practice.

Preclinical data support the investigation of PARP inhibitors in other neoplasms exhibiting homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) as monotherapy as well as in combination with chemotherapy. However，in colorectal cancer (CRC), the role of HRD alterations is mostly unknown. This study aims to explore the the Efficacy and Safety of Fluzoparib combined with Irinotecan in the Second-line treatment of HRD alterations metastatic colorectal cancer.

This is a multicenter, open-label, parallel-group, randomised, A phase IIb clinical trial of efficacy and safety of Ametumumab in combination with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody and FOLFIRI versus Ametumumab or Cetuximab in combination with FOLFIRI in patients with RAS wild-type advanced colorectal cancer.

APOLLO (Acute PresentatiOn of CoLorectaL Cancer: an internatiOnal snapshot) is an international, multi-centre, prospective observational study which will address this need and aims to describe the operative and non-operative management of emergency presentations of colon and rectal cancer in an international cohort.

RAS mutations are found in nearly half of colorectal cancer patients. However, there is no targeted driver gene drugs have been approved for RAS-mutated patients. For RAS mutant metastatic colorectal cancer, the commonly used treatment regimen is bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy.

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 proposed study is a randomized controlled pilot trial designed to assess the effectiveness and acceptability of a proactive screening outreach program on colorectal cancer screening rates on eligible patients in the Flatbush Family Health Center medical practice.

The currently developed implementation study aims to evaluate if a patient-led home-based follow-up approach is successful, improves quality of life, reduces anxiety and lessens fear of cancer recurrence during the years after surgical treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC).

The aim of this clinical trial is to learn about efficacy of fruquintinib combined with serplulimab in patients with microsatellite stabilized mCRC who have failed standard therapy. The main purpose is to explore efficacy, safety and tolerability of the treatment. At the same time, the correlation between biomarkers (including ctDNA, TPS, CPS, tumor mutation burden, lymphocyte subpopulation, cytokines, TCR, intestinal microbes, etc.) and the efficacy and drug resistance mechanism will be analyzed, which could provide reference for determining the advantaged group.

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab combined with trastuzumab and chemotherapy in Patients with HER2-positive advanced colorectal cancer
