Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

This study will assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with the combination Avastin (bevacizumab) 5mg/kg iv every 2 weeks, Xeloda (capecitabine) 1000 mg po b.i.d. on Days 1-14 of every 28-day cycle and oxaliplatin 40mg/m2 iv weekly in patients with inoperable locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with Selumetinib (AZD6244) (Hyd-Sulfate) in combination with Irinotecan as a second treatment in patients with K-ras or B-raf mutation will prevent tumor progression and prolong progression free survival.

Assessment of safety and toxicity, definition of the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of the combination therapy consisting of Capecitabine, Oxaliplatin, Bevacizumab and Imatinib.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended dose for phase II studies of a chemotherapy-combination of sorafenib, irinotecan, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)/folinic acid (FA) (FOLFIRI) as first-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer.

Lung metastasectomy is the only therapeutic option to provide a long-survival in patients with colorectal lung metastases. Recent studies have shown that radiofrequency (RF) ablation is a safe and useful therapeutic option for the treatment of unresectable lung metastases. In this phase-II trial, clinical utility of lung RF ablation will be evaluated in patients with resectable colorectal lung metastases.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of imatinib mesylate in combination with panitumumab for the treatment of stage IV colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It will also assess the whether imatinib mesylate, either alone or in combination with panitumumab, is effective in treating this type of cancer. In addition, the study will evaluate the feasibility of a predefined lab score and whether it can predict which patients will respond to treatment with imatinib mesylate.

This is a multicenter, open-label study enrolling a total of up to 23 patients.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of temsirolimus as a single drug, and of temsirolimus in combination with irinotecan in chemotherapy resistant patients with KRAS mutated colorectal cancer.

This is a phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, three-arm trial to be conducted in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Approximately 150 eligible KRAS-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer subjects who have failed first line fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin-based regimen with or without anti-VEGF therapy will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive AMG 479 placebo plus AMG 655 with FOLFIRI, or AMG 479 plus AMG 655 placebo with FOLFIRI, or AMG 479 placebo plus AMG 655 placebo with FOLFIRI

In this national Phase I dose-escalation study the safety and tolerability of AP 12009 is evaluated in adult patients with advanced tumors known to overproduce TGF-β2, who are not or no longer amenable to established therapies.
