Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

The prognosis of peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer has recently improved with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Although outcomes are further improved when early stage peritoneal metastases are treated, adjuvant HIPEC has not yet been thoroughly addressed. This prospective pilot study assessed feasibility, safety and efficacy of HIPEC performed simultaneously with primary curative surgery in colorectal cancer patients with primary tumor-related risk-factors for the development of metachronous peritoneal metastases.

The study should create data for the selection of a clinically relevant primary endpoint to assess the efficacy and safety of Buparid/PARI SINUS as compared to Budes Nasal Spray in the therapy of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with polyposis nasi in adult patients. Ideally, the selected parameter should allow a correlation between an objective methodology and the clinical outcome of the study patients.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if abraxane can help to control colorectal and/or small bowel cancer. The safety of this drug will also be studied. Abraxane is designed to block cancer cells from dividing, which may cause them to die.

Famitinib is a tyrosin-inhibitor agent targeting at c-Kit, VEGFR2, PDGFR, VEGFR3, Flt1 and Flt3, and it's anti-angiogenesis effect has been viewed in preclinical tests. Phase I study has shown that the toxicity is manageable. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Famitinib can improve progression free survival compared with placebo in patients with advanced colorectal cancer who failed in previous at least two lines of chemotherapy.

This is an open label, multi-center, Phase 2 study of BBI608 in combination with cetuximab, panitumumab or capecitabine in patients with advanced colorectal cancer.

Since its introduction, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) has been the cornerstone of treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Meanwhile the oral 5FU pro-drug Capecitabine (Xeloda®) proved equivalence to 5-FU and is a well tolerated alternative combination partner for Irinotecan (XELIRI) or Oxaliplatin (XELOX) which are widely used for first line treatment of mCRC. Recent advances in molecular biology have resulted in the development of an inhibitor of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) by the monoclonal humanized antibody bevacizumab (Avastin®). XELOX or XELIRI +bevacizumab have been investigated in several trials, but not in an approach with clearly defined cross-wise XELIRI-XELOX change criteria. This trial investigates two different sequential treatment options with XELIRI/ XELOX in first and second line with the addition of bevacizumab and tries to give answer to the question if there is an optimal sequence for the benefit of the patient. This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, 2-arm pilot trial in patients with mCRC who did not receive systemic treatment for their metastatic disease. The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of XELIRI followed by XELOX and XELOX followed by XELIRI + bevacizumab in terms of Duration of Disease Control (DDC). Patients will be treated with an established first line therapy consisting of either XELOX or XELIRI + bevacizumab. The chemotherapy treatment will be given for 6 months except prior disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or patient refusal. Bevacizumab will be given until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or patient refusal. Capecitabine can be given in addition at the investigators' discretion until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or patient refusal. If serious side effects occur despite adequate dose reduction, Oxaliplatin or Irinotecan should be discontinued. In case of Oxaliplatin or Irinotecan-related discontinuation Capecitabine and Bevacizumab should be continued. If Capecitabine also has to be discontinued in first line treatment bevacizumab should be continued. In case of permanent discontinuation of bevacizumab for toxicities, chemotherapy should be continued. Upon completion of first line chemotherapy patients with disease control will receive bevacizumab maintenance treatment. On investigators decision patients can receive Capecitabine as additional maintenance treatment. The primary endpoint is to determine the efficacy of a modified XELIRI + bevacizumab followed by XELOX + bevacizumab scheme at progression in comparison with the reverse sequence based on DDC. Secondary endpoints are first line progression-free survival (PFS), second line PFS, overall response rate, time to response, duration of response, overall survival, tumor assessments (based on RECIST criteria) using CT scans, MRI scans, X-ray, bone scan, clinical examination.

The purpose of this study to assess efficacy and tolerability of combination therapy FOLFOXIRI with Bevacizumab (BV) as a first-line therapy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and anti-tumor activity of the triple combination of WNT974, LGX818 and cetuximab in BRAFV600-mutant mCRC with RNF43 mutations or RSPO fusions. The design of this study is based upon the translational and pre-clinical data that suggest that Wnt pathway signals, increased due to RNF43 mutations or RSPO fusions, cooperate with the EGFR and BRAF signals to maintain the growth of BRAFV600 CRCs. Inhibition of these signals with the triple combination of WNT974, LGX818 and cetuximab may result in anti-tumor activity.

This is an open label, single-arm, Phase 2 trial to evaluate the anti-tumor activity, safety, and tolerability of Pembrolizumab in combination with azacitidine in subjects with chemo-refractory mCRC without any further standard treatment options Dosage and regimen for all study periods Pembrolizumab will be given at 200 mg every 21 days. Azacitidine will be given at 100 mg daily subcutaneous injection on days 1-5 every 21 days. The first assessment of tumor response will be performed after cycle 3 (9 weeks), and thereafter approximately every 9 weeks, every 3 cycles of therapy. The modified RECIST 1.1 will be used to establish disease response or progression. All patients will be evaluated and graded for adverse events according to the NCI Common Terminology for Adverse Events, version 4.0 (NCI-CTCAE).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether combining of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) transfusion can prolong survival of patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM).
