Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

This randomized clinical phase III trial is testing the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in the treatment of colorectal carcinoma liver metastases. Primary end point is local progression free survival.

The aim of this study is to test the role of cycline in the prevention of acne-like skin rash in metastatic colorectal patients treated with Cetuximab and intensified FOLFIRI.

Skin toxicity treatment in patients with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and non-mutated (wild-type) KRAS treated with panitumumab monotherapy after failure of fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-containing chemotherapy regimens.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to primarily assess the efficacy of an intensified chemotherapy consisting of a combination of FOLFOXIRI + bevacizumab. The main focus will be laid on the rate of patients who achieve secondary complete (R0)-resectable metastases. The FOLFIRI + bevacizumab as well as the FOLFOXIRI regimens have been shown previously to be both effective in the treatment of advanced CRC with having manageable toxicities. Therefore, an intensified chemotherapy combining these two standard regimens might be a promising therapeutic approach improving the treatment of metastatic disease and outcome of CRC. Patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma of UICC stage IV, and liver and/or lung metasta¬ses only, which are not optimally resectable, will be enrolled in this single-arm phase II study. A minimum of 4 cycles (=8 weeks) of chemo¬therapy prior to surgery is mandatory for all patients. However, patients may withdraw from the study at any time upon their own request. Treatment with preoperative chemothera¬py will continue until 2-4 weeks prior to surgery with the last application of bevacizumab (only FOLFOXIRI) 4 weeks before surgery, at longest 16 cycles (= 32 weeks) for candidates not eli¬gible for surgery. Treatment will be discontinued prematurely at disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. As secondary endpoints the acute and perioperative toxi¬city of preoperative chemotherapy according to NCI CTCAE v 3.0 including all peri-and post-surgical complications as well as progression free survival and overall survival and quality of life will be assessed.

The purpose of this study is to compare OnDose® based pharmacokinetic administration of 5-FU versus standard Body Surface Area (BSA) based administration of 5-FU in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with mFOLFOX6, with or without bevacizumab, to determine if the use of OnDose® achieves an improvement in the Overall Response Rate (ORR) relative to BSA dosing response.

Open-label phase 1b trial. Study treatment will be administered in 3 week cycles. There are two distinct parts in this study: Part 1: Dose escalation from IMO-2055 Part 2: Once a recommended phase 2 dose is found additional tolerability and pharmacodynamics will be explored

Primary objective: To assess the effect of xaliproden hydrochloride (xaliproden) 1 mg per oral daily on the rate of complete resolution of peripheral sensory neuropathy (PSN) at 6 months, following randomization, after the completion of oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy for colon cancer. Secondary objective: To assess the effect of xaliproden on patient-reported outcomes using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity scale (FACT/GOG NTX-12 subscale). To assess the effect of xaliproden on the rate of at least partial recovery of grade > 2 PSN at 6 months To assess the effects of xaliproden on the time to complete recovery from PSN To evaluate the safety profile of xaliproden

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and time to progression of HLA-A*2402 restricted epitope peptides RNF43, TOMM34, VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 emulsified with Montanide ISA 51 in combination with Tegafur/Uracil/Folinate chemotherapy.

This phase II study will evaluate the efficacy of the combination of two monoclonal antibodies (Avastin + Erbitux) with irinotecan, in patients with colorectal cancer progressed after 1st line treatment with FOLFIRI Avastin or XELIRI Avastin.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Irinotecan Bead in combination with intravenous chemotherapy versus intravenous chemotherapy alone in the treatment of unresectable liver metastases in patients with colorectal cancer. The results of this study are intended to be used in support of a PMA application for a combination device
