Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study was to determine if ruxolitinib, in combination with regorafenib, is safe and effective in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer.

In this study the investigators will evaluate the uptake of 89Zirconium labeled cetuximab in extra-hepatic colorectal metastases. The investigators hypothesize that uptake of 89Zr-cetuximab is required for response to cetuximab. If no uptake is present the investigators will escalate the dose cetuximab and repeat the 89Zr-cetuximab PET. The investigators will evaluate the clinical benefit rate of cetuximab in the patients with and without uptake. The ultimate goal is to create a selection tool that can predict response of cetuximab.

The PULSAR trial is an international, investigator-initiated, single arm open-label phase II study. The aim of this study is to measure the clinical activity of the combination FOLFIRI-aflibercept in an homogeneous group of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, and treated with a FOLFIRI-aflibercept regimen as first line treatment.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the True Human Monoclonal antibody Xilonix (MABp1) can prolong the life of colorectal carcinoma patients that are refractory to standard therapy.

This phase I pilot trial studies the side effects of cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8)+ T cells in treating patients with gastrointestinal tumors that have spread to other places in the body. Tumor cells and blood are used to help create an adoptive T cell therapy, such as CD8+ T cell therapy, that is individually designed for a patient and may help doctors learn more about genetic changes in the tumor. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving CD8+ T cell therapy and pembrolizumab may work better in treating patients with gastrointestinal tumors.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the implementation of an educational program on adherence to capecitabine alone or in combination to lapatinib.

To determine the safety and efficacy of second-line treatment with Metformin and Chemotherapy (FOLFOX6 or FOFIRI) in the second line treatment of advanced colorectal cancer

The objective of this Phase II study is to assess the efficacy and safety of nintedanib alone or in combination with capecitabine for patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) after failure of at least 2 lines of standard treatment

This phase II trial studies how well fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and irinotecan hydrochloride (FOLFIRI) together with panitumumab work in treating patients with colorectal cancer that expresses the RAS and B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) wild-type genes, has spread from the original site of growth to another part of the body (metastatic), resists the effects of treatment with prior cetuximab (or panitumumab) plus irinotecan hydrochloride-based therapy, and who have failed at least one subsequent non-anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) containing treatment regimen. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and irinotecan hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as panitumumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Giving FOLFIRI together with panitumumab may be an effective treatment for colorectal cancer.

This was an open-label, phase Ib, multicenter clinical trial to determine the MTD/RDE of the orally administered c-MET inhibitor INC280 in combination with cetuximab. This combination was to be explored in c-MET positive mCRC and HNSCC patients whose disease progressed on cetuximab or panitumumab treatment. The dose escalation part was to be guided by a Bayesian Logistic Regression Model with overdose control. At MTD/RDE, additional mCRC and HNSCC patients who progressed on cetuximab or panitumumab treatment were to be enrolled in two expansion groups to further assess the anti-tumor activity and the safety and tolerability of the combination of INC280 and cetuximab. Patients were to receive INC280 on a continuous bid dosing regimen and cetuximab every week. A treatment cycle was defined as 28 days with no scheduled break between cycles. The trial was terminated because of difficulties in identifying patients who met the eligibility criteria.
