Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Hydroxychloroquine may help chemotherapy and bevacizumab work better and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving hydroxychloroquine together with capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and bevacizumab works in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

The purposes of this study were to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic interactions, and the Human Anti-Human Antibody of dalotuzumab in combination with cetuximab and irinotecan in participants with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer in Japan.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of adecatumumab alone or following FOLFOX in patients with R0 resected liver metastases from CRC (colorectal carcinoma) and to compare the effect to FOLFOX alone.

The proposed plan will investigate the mechanism and efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine as an adjunct to chemotherapy in treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Our rationale for the therapeutic use of KD018 is its potential activity in reducing chemotherapy-induced toxicity, especially diarrhea.

This phase 1/2, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AMG 655 when combined with mFOLFOX6 and bevacizumab compared with mFOLFOX6 and bevacizumab alone in subjects with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). The clinical benefit of AMG 655 in combination with mFOLFOX6 and bevacizumab will be measured by progression-free survival, objective response rate, time to response, duration of response, and overall survival. This study is also designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMG 655 in combination with mFOLFOX6 and bevacizumab and to evaluate anti-AMG 655 antibody formation and the pharmacokinetics of AMG 655.

The Nordic FLOX-regime consists of a combination of bolus 5-FU, leukovorin and oxaliplatin (Eloxatin®). Cetuximab (Erbitux®) is an antibody against the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The combination of FLOX and weekly Erbitux has been investigated in the Nordic VII study where 571 patients were randomized to FLOX (regime A) or FLOX + Erbitux (regime B or C). Effect-data has not yet been published but the combination is well tolerated, and other studies have shown that Erbitux administered with chemotherapy seem to be more efficient than chemotherapy alone. The main purpose with this study is to investigate the effect of FLOX and Erbitux given every second week as first line treatment for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer and K-RAS wildtype tumor. The latest accessible data regarding treatment towards EGFR and K-RAS mutations shows that patients with K-RAS wildtype responds better to treatment than patients with K-RAS mutations.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of vaccination with two irradiated allogeneic colorectal carcinoma cells administered with a GM-CSF producing bystander cell line in sequence with an immunomodulatory dose of Cyclophosphamide

This research study is for individuals who have advanced breast, colon, pancreatic, ovarian or bladder cancer. Celldex Therapeutics, Inc. is testing a form of immune therapy (vaccine) to see if it can be used to make the immune system attack the cancer. The study includes administration of additional treatments, in combination, thought to enhance the immune response effect. (CDX 1307-01)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immune response of different doses of RNF43-721 emulsified with Montanide ISA 51 in combination with S-1/CPT-11 chemotherapy.

RATIONALE: Brivanib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. It is not yet known whether giving brivanib together with cetuximab is more effective than cetuximab alone in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying cetuximab to see how well it works compared with cetuximab given together with brivanib in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
