Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the effective drugs in a alternating chemotherapy schedules in pretreated patients with mCRC, who have received all effective drugs.

Preliminary data indicate a protective effect on the development of duodenal polyps by coxib treatment. The hypothesis of the present study is that normal therapy doses of rofecoxib for 1 year would stop or reverse the development of premalignant adenomatous lesions in the duodenal mucosa of FAP patients.

This study is designed primarily to establish efficacy and estimate resource utilization. The short-term hypothesis is that the dose of capecitabine (825 mg/m2 twice/day 5 days per week) during the course of radiation therapy is efficacious in locally advanced, non-metastatic rectosigmoid carcinoma and will improve resectability. The long-term working hypothesis is that if 3-D CRT is combined with the potentiating and additive effect of capecitabine one hopes to see improved and durable tumor response and survival with acceptable toxicity. In addition, it is expected that the simplicity of using an oral agent (capecitabine) will be associated with reduced cost and resource utilization.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of AMT2003 in cancer patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma. The primary endpoint is progression free survival rate at 18 weeks after registration

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of SU5416 in treating patients who have metastatic or locally recurrent colorectal cancer. SU5416 may stop the growth of colorectal cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor.

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody therapy in treating patients who have advanced colorectal cancer.

This is a Phase 1b/2a study investigating the safety and efficacy of Sym004, an investigational medicinal product (IMP), in combination with FOLFIRI (chemotherapy) when administered every second week (Q2W).

A Phase 1 dose escalation and expansion study evaluating safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of PF-06952229 in adult patients with advanced solid tumors.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of MK-1697. There are 2 parts in this study: dose escalation to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and confirm the RP2D (Part A) and cohort expansion to determine preliminary efficacy in participants with colorectal cancer (CRC) or head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) (Part B). No formal hypothesis testing will be done in this study.

The main objective is to provide original research results that may change clinical practice related to metastatic colorectal cancer. The study will evaluate treatment and patient care at different stages of the disease trajectory and the use of health care for this large group of patients. It will be possible to compare the effectiveness of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and symptomatic treatment given to "real life" patients with the efficacy reported in randomised clinical trials. By using longitudinal information on imaging, biomarkers, clinical staging and place of care it will be possible to improve patient classification at various stages of the disease. Based on this, a more appropriate, individualized treatment for colorectal cancer may be recommended during the phases of the disease trajectory. Participation in this project will not influence the treatment for colorectal cancer. All patients will be treated and followed-up according to current regional and national guidelines.
