Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

This trial studies how well a decision aid website works in helping to make decisions about fertility in participants with cancer. Decision aid websites that provide information about fertility preservation (maintaining your ability to have children of your own after cancer treatment) may help participants with cancer make fertility-preservation decisions.

This pilot clinical trial studies how well Walking for Recovery from Surgery works in improving quality of life in older adults with lung or gastrointestinal cancer and their family caregivers. A walking program, such as Walking for Recovery from Surgery may help support overall well-being as a caregiver, and may help improve family member or friend's recovery from surgery.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of artificial intelligence systems used during colonoscopy on the detection of precancerous polyps in the colon.

This clinical trial will be conducted as a single-center, open-label, Phase I/2 trial to evaluate the feasibility and safety of Yttrium-90 radioembolization (Y90-RE) in combination with a fixed dose of of immunotherapy (durvalumab - 750 mg) in subjects with liver-predominant, metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), which is mismatch repair proficient/microsatellite stable (pMMR/MSS).

High quality screening colonoscopy is critical for colorectal cancer (CRC) prevention in Veterans. There is significant variability in colonoscopy quality in VA that is directly linked to differences in CRC incidence and death. The investigators developed the VA Endoscopy Quality Improvement Program (VA-EQuIP) that the National GI program office will implement using centralized quality measurement and reporting for adenoma detection rates (ADR), bi-annual audit and feedback with provider benchmarking to local and national performance, and collaborative learning to support colonoscopy quality improvement. Using a cluster randomized controlled trial, the investigators will study the implementation of VA-EQuIP and determine the efficacy of its intervention on adenoma detection rates, which are directly linked to CRC incidence and death.

The goal of this behavior change focused, culture-specific, pilot, peer intervention is to target masculinity barriers to medical care (MBMC) considering a range of psychosocial factors associated with uptake of CRC screening (fecal immunochemical test (FIT)) among African-American men. Barbershops will serve as intervention sites and barbers will be trained in the technique of Motivational Interviewing (MI) which will guide the barbers to encourage their clients with culturally relevant messaging to take a FIT kit home and then send to the lab for processing (uptake). The main questions it aims to answer are the feasibility of recruitment, sample size estimation, preliminary efficacy, and the acceptability of barbers to deliver culture-specific messages that aim to overcome masculinity barriers to medical care. Researchers will compare the culture-specific intervention with a control arm, where barbers provide their client an evidenced-based American Cancer Society brochure on colorectal cancer screening to understand if barbers peers using MI and culturally relevant messaging better overcome masculinity barriers to medical care than the barber using the brochure alone.

Gastric cancer is a global health threat. Helicobacter pylori is now recognized as the main risk factor that initiates this process; hence, H. pylori eradication has been considered the most effective method to ameliorate the burden of gastric cancer. Serum pepsinogen levels reveal the current atrophy of the stomach and predict gastric cancer risk. A risk prediction model with the combination of H. pylori infection and serum pepsinogen level could identify the highest-risk gastric cancer patients. Colorectal cancers (CRC) rank second and third as the leading causes of cancer-related death in men and women, respectively. For CRC prevention, a two-stage approach using the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) is popular; besides, the FIT levels may serve as a guide for priority setting in prompting residents to undergo colonoscopy. Therefore, the effectiveness and utility of aggressive referral confirmatory diagnosis protocol in a colorectal cancer screening program for those with high FIT levels urgently need to evaluate.

This study is a phase II study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of HLX26 and HLX10 in the treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma that had received 3 prior therapies.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility of remote time-restricted eating (TRE) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) interventions and the preliminary effect on EOCRC-related markers. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Is it feasible and acceptable to conduct 8-week remote interventions of TRE, MBSR, and combined TRE+MBSR among young adults with excess adiposity and moderate-to-severe perceived stress? Will participants in the combined group lose more body weight and reduce their stress levels than those in the remaining groups? Will participants in the combined group experience better body composition changes and improve their cardiometabolic health compared to those in the remaining groups? Will participants in the combined group exhibit changes in the microbiome compared to those in the remaining groups? Participants will: Complete 8 weeks of a TRE intervention Complete 8 weeks of a remote MBSR intervention Researchers will compare 1. TRE alone; 2. MBSR alone; 3. TRE + MBSR; and 4. Control to see if the study is feasible and acceptable; to see if individuals lose body weight; to see if individual stress levels reduce; to see changes in the microbiome.

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of Akt/ERK Inhibitor ONC201 (ONC201) in preventing colorectal cancer in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or a history of multiple polyps. ONC201 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
