Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of single-week regimen of irinotecan plus capecitabine in the first-line or second-line treatment of advanced colorectal cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant anti-tumor and anti-virus protein for injection in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer after failure of second-line and more than second-line treatment.

The purpose of this study: To explore the comparative effectiveness of BIBF 1120 in terms of : Progression-free survival (PFS), objective response, overall survival Evaluate and compare safety

The GONO-FOLFOXIRI regimen demonstrated higher activity and efficacy compared to FOLFIRI in a phase III trial. Panitumumab with oxaliplatin- or irinotecan-based doublets is feasible and associated with improved activity in KRAS codon 12-13 wild-type patients. BRAF and other RAS rare mutations have been suggested as additional potential biomarkers for anti-EGFR agents in metastatic colo-rectal cancer. The present study aims to demonstrate the feasibility and the activity of the first-line combination of the GONO-FOLFOXIRI regimen and Panitumumab in molecularly selected metastatic colo-rectal cancer patients.

This study is being done to determine the maximum dose of a certain chemotherapy drug (irinotecan) that can be tolerated as part of a combination of drugs. There is a combination of chemotherapy drugs typically used to treat cancer of the colon and rectum: 5-Flurouracil (5-FU), leucovorin, and irinotecan; the combination is known as FOLFIRI. At the present time, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved this drug combination for the treatment of cancers of the colon and rectum. The FDA has also approved the use of a drug called bevacizumab (or Avastin) in combination with FOLFIRI, and this is considered one of the standards of care for all patients with colon and rectal cancer which has spread. The best dose of irinotecan to use in the combination of FOLFIRI and bevacizumab is not known. Earlier studies have shown that higher doses of irinotecan can be used safely as part of the FOLFIRI combination, but it is unclear whether these same doses will be safe when bevacizumab is added to this combination.

The purpose of this study is to see if Cediranib in combination with FOLFOX is effective in treating metastatic colorectal cancer and to see how it compares with Avastin (Bevacizumab) in combination with FOLFOX.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal SN-38, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well liposomal SN-38 works in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

This study is for patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma arising from the colon or rectum who have received treatment(s) for metastatic disease with subsequent disease progression. Patients who are intolerant to treatment(s) are also included. This is a study for good performance status colorectal cancer patients who have exhausted standard therapy options.

The purpose of this study is to determine the treatment effect of panitumumab in combination with FOLFOX compared to FOLFOX alone as first line therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer

This single arm study will investigate possible pharmacokinetic interactions between Xeloda and oxaliplatin, and assess whether the pharmacokinetics of Xeloda and/or oxaliplatin is influenced by the addition of Avastin. All subjects will provide samples for pharmacokinetic analysis during the first 3 cycles of treatment. In cycles 1 and 2 patients will receive a treatment regimen containing Xeloda (1000mg/m2 bid) and oxaliplatin (130mg/m2 iv) and in cycle 3 Avastin (7.5mg/kg iv) will be added to the regimen. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
