Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

To assess the efficacy of FOLFOX4 in combination with cetuximab, weekly and FOLFOX4 in combination with cetuximab, biweekly.

This study is a double-blinded, randomized, placebo controlled, multi-center trial in which 120 subjects with nasal polyposis (NP) will be treated during 20 days with oral corticosteroids (OCS) in decreasing doses or oral doxycyclin (ODOX) or placebo. At each visit the clinical and the biological activity will be assessed by nasal peak inspiratory flow (nPIF), symptoms, olfactory test, endoscopic evaluation of nasal polyps, peripheral eosinophil levels and markers of inflammation IL-5, IL-5 receptor alpha, ECP, TGFβ1, IgE and specific IgE in serum and nasal secretion.

This is an exploratory phase 1b/2, global, multicenter, single-arm, 2-part (phase 1b and 2) study of conatumumab in combination with panitumumab in patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.

A Phase I, Open-Label Study To Assess The Effect of ZD6474 (ZACTIMA) On Vascular Permeability In Patients with Advanced Colorectal Cancer and Liver Metastases.

This is a Phase Ib, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation study designed to assess if PRO95780 in combination with two different irinotecan-containing regimens is safe and tolerable in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who have progressed following, or cannot tolerate, first-line therapy with 5-fluorouracil-, oxaliplatin-, and bevacizumab-containing regimens. This study will also make a preliminary assessment of the anti-tumor activity of PRO95780 in combination with irinotecan and cetuximab or the FOLFIRI regimen plus bevacizumab.

This Study is in two parts, the first part is to make sure that combining a potential new treatment, cediranib (AZD2171), with a standard treatment (FOLFOX) for metastatic colorectal cancer is safe. Once this part is complete and it is decided that it is safe to continue the Study will the go on to look at the efficacy of the two drugs together. This will be done by studying two treatment options. One will be the standard treatment alone (FOLFOX) + dummy cediranib (AZD2171) tablets and the other will be the standard treatment (FOLFOX) + real cediranib (AZD2171) tablets. Using dummy tablets means the study is 'blinded' and that non-one can tell the difference between the two treatment groups. This kind of study design is done to try to avoid the chance that the results might be biased in some way. The overall aim of the second part of the study is to see if adding cediranib (AZD2171) to a standard treatment for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC), in this case FOLFOX, gives better results. That is, it's better than giving standard treatment alone in helping to prevent progression of mCRC.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy works in treating patients with recurrent metastatic colorectal cancer.

A randomized phase II-study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of capecitabine plus irinotecan plus cetuximab compared to capecitabine plus oxaliplatin plus cetuximab in first-line treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

To assess the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine given by fixed dose rate intravenous infusion in patients with pretreated metastatic colorectal cancer.

A multicentre phase II study to evaluate the results of high dose simplified folfiri in advanced colorectal cancer
