Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of alisertib when given together with irinotecan hydrochloride in treating patients with advanced solid tumors or colorectal cancer. Irinotecan hydrochloride and alisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

The study is a two-arm randomised phase III trial. Patients will be randomised to receive capecitabine (arm A) or S-1 (arm B). Bevacizumab may be added according to the choice of the investigator. Patients will be followed 3-weekly at the outpatient clinic, toxicity will be assessed according to study protocol guidelines. Patients will be evaluated every 3 cycles for response. Upon disease progression patients will be treated according to the local investigators

Pancreatic, gastric, and colorectal cancers have all been shown to overexpress the gastrin gene and to be sensitive to the trophic effects of the gastrin in animal models. The hypothesis of this study is that G17DT will elicit specific and high-affinity antibodies that will bind gastrin-17, thus preventing the trophic activity of cancer cells.

The purpose of this study is through a phase I/II clinical trial to assess the safety and toxicity of intraperitoneally administered MOC31PE immunotoxin, given on the 1.postoperative day after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) for peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer (CRC).

A Phase I/II study of an in-situ therapeutic cancer vaccine. Vaccines contain a source of antigen and and adjuvant. In this study the source of tumor antigen comes from the killing of a selected tumor by cryoablation (killing using extreme cold) and the adjuvant is intentionally mis-matched immune cells (AlloStim-TM) engineered to produce inflammatory cytokines.

The purpose of the study is to identify a safe and tolerable dose of BMS-908662 in combination with cetuximab; and then to evaluate the tumor response to BMS-908662 when administered alone or in combination with cetuximab

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy is more effective when given alone or together with surgery in treating patients with colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II/III trial is studying how well chemotherapy works and compares it with surgery followed by chemotherapy in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer that can not be removed by surgery.

The purpose of this study is to test how long participants with colorectal cancer live without progressive disease when being treated with IMC-1121B (ramucirumab) and the modified FOLFOX-6 chemotherapy.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating patients who have undergone surgery for high-risk colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying chemotherapy given after surgery in treating patients with high-risk stage II or stage III colorectal cancer.

to evaluate the acceptability of CT-colonography compared to colonoscopy for the detection of advanced adenomas in subpopulations at high risk of colorectal.
