Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of the combination of pemetrexed and gemcitabine in heavily pre-treated, chemotherapy resistant colorectal cancer patients with KRAS mutations.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of radioactive microsphere infusion as a treatment for liver metastases from colon or rectal cancer. The investigators hypothesis is that the administration of microspheres between first and second line chemotherapy will increase progression-free survival time by about 2.5 months and may also improve tumor response rates to subsequent second line chemotherapy.

The research trial is testing the experimental treatment pimasertib (MSC1936369B) in combination with FOLFIRI, as second-line treatment in metastatic K Ras mutated colorectal cancer subjects. The study will be run in two parts: Part 1, or Safety Run-in Part: Will determine the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of pimasertib combined with FOLFIRI as second-line treatment in subjects with metastatic K Ras mutated colorectal cancer. Part 2 or Phase 2 Randomised Part: Will assess the anti-tumor activity of pimasertib combined with FOLFIRI compared to FOLFIRI with placebo as second-line treatment in metastatic K Ras mutated colorectal cancer subjects. Phase I which Is an open label dose escalation "3+3" cohort, non-randomized, safety Phase II which is a double blind randomized safety/efficacy

Patients presenting with multiple innumerable liver metastases will probably never come to resection, however, for all others, including patients with numerous multiple metastases or large metastases,resection should be considered after limited chemotherapy. There is consensus for a backbone chemotherapy consisting of fluoropyrimidine + oxaliplatin. FOLFOX was used in the previous EORTC study and is again recommended. The addition of targeted agents to standard chemotherapy in the perioperative strategy for mCRC might increase the ORR and R0 resectability, without significant increase in toxicity, therefore translating to a better outcome. It was therefore decided to design an open label, randomized, multi-center, 3-arm late phase II study. Arm A: (standard) mFOLFOX6 + Surgery Arm B: (experimental) mFOLFOX6 + Bevacizumab + Surgery Arm C: (experimental) mFOLFOX6 + Panitumumab + Surgery

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the maintenance therapy with axitinib in patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma

OBJECTIVE: The principal objective of the trial is to evaluate whether the addition of cetuximab associated with 5-fluorouracil in elderly patients with KRAS wild type advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) prolongs Progression Free Survival, compared with 5-fluorouracil alone.

The COMBATAC study evaluates the the effect as assessed by progression-free survival (PFS) of perioperative systemic chemotherapy including cetuximab and cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and bidirectional hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis arising from colorectal cancer.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of single-agent regorafenib in the second-line treatment in metastatic colorectal cancer with any RAS or BRAF mutation previously treated with FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab in terms of progression-free survival at 6 months.

Primary Objectives: Study Part 1: To determine the recommended dose for the aflibercept, oxaliplatin and capecitabine (XELOX) combination to be used in the Part 2 of the study. Study Part 2: To assess the percentage of participants without progression of the disease at 6 months after the start of maintenance therapy with aflibercept single-agent, following the first-line induction therapy with XELOX and aflibercept combination in participants with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer. Secondary Objective: Study Part 2: Include the evaluation of progression free survival, overall survival, response to treatment, the overall safety (during induction and maintenance therapy) and the assessment of aflibercept pharmacodynamics and biomarkers parameters.

This study will investigate whether the combination of PF-05212384 plus Irinotecan improves progression free survival in patients with KRAS and NRAS wild type metastatic colorectal cancer when compared with the combination of cetuximab plus Irinotecan. A Japanese Lead in Cohort will assess the safety of the combination of PF-05212384 + irinotecan in patients enrolled at Japanese sites.
