Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

This is a Phase 1 open-label study of SN2310 Injectable Emulsion in patients with advanced solid malignancies. The study is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicity of SN2310 Injectable Emulsion, and to characterize the pharmacokinetics of SN2310 and SN-38 following intravenous administration of SN2310 Injectable Emulsion. Additionally, evaluation of side effects as a function of dose, and observation of any anti-tumor effects of SN2310 Injectable Emulsion will be made.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug is a way to kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of uracil, tegafur,and leucovorin compared with fluorouracil plus leucovorin in patients with resected stage II or stage III colon cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the treatment effect of panitumumab plus FOLFIRI compared to FOLFIRI alone as second line therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer.

This phase II trial will investigate the combination of adjuvant 5-fluorouracil, radiation, and bevacizumab in patients with stage II and III rectal cancer, followed by FOLFOX6 and bevacizumab. Fluorouracil (FU) has proven to be an effective and safe regimen in the treatment of stage II and III rectal cancer. Recent evidence has proven fluorouracil/leucovorin (FL) in combination with bevacizumab is superior to FL alone and when combined with irinotecan is superior to (irinotecan plus fluorouracil/leucovorin (IFL) alone. This trial will be one of the first clinical trials to evaluate a combination of targeted therapy, radiation, and chemotherapy in the adjuvant treatment of a common solid tumor.

This trial is designed to assess the tolerability and efficacy of simvastatin plus FOLFIRI (irinotecan, 5-FU, leucovorin) in metastatic colorectal cancer patients.

To determine the safety and efficacy of AG-013736 in combination with other standard of care medication in patients with first line metastatic colorectal cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine that panitumumab, using the proposed regimen, will safely increase progression free survival in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have failed available treatment options (i.e., patients who developed progressive disease or relapsed while on or after prior fluoropyrimidine, irinotecan and oxaliplatin chemotherapy).

The purpose of this study is to determine if panitumumab, in combination with irinotecan, leucovorin, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is safe and efficacious in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

RATIONALE: AZD2171 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. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, carboplatin, or capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving AZD2171 together with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of AZD2171 when given together with chemotherapy in treating patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (closed to enrollment as of 8/9/07), colorectal cancer, or other cancer suitable to capecitabine treatment.

This is a multicenter, Phase III, randomized, active-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rhuMAb VEGF (Avastin) added to the standard first-line chemotherapy used to treat metastatic colorectal cancer. This trial will enroll approximately 900 subjects with histologically confirmed, previously untreated, bi-dimensionally measurable metastatic colorectal cancer.
