Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of the use of OCZ103-OS in combination with standard of care as a second line treatment in subjects with unresectable and locally recurrent or metastatic colorectal cancer.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan hydrochloride, 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 cetuximab and ramucirumab, 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. Cetuximab and ramucirumab may also stop the growth of colorectal cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet know whether giving cetuximab and irinotecan hydrochloride together is more effective with or without ramucirumab in treating colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving cetuximab and irinotecan hydrochloride with or without ramucirumab work in treating patients with advanced colorectal cancer with progressive disease after treatment with bevacizumab-containing chemotherapy.

This study will assess the safety of panitumumab, irinotecan and everolimus when given in combination to treat advanced colorectal cancer

Treatment with CS-1008 in combination with FOLFIRI (irinotecan, leucovorin, and 5-fluorouracil [5-FU]) in subjects with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) who have failed first-line treatment that was not irinotecan-based.

The trial will compare the overall survival of perifosine plus capecitabine to placebo plus capecitabine in patients with refractory advanced colorectal cancer.

People with colorectal cancer that cannot be cured by surgery are being asked to participate in this study. The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy (effectiveness) of a new combination of drugs, ABT-888 and temozolomide for patients with colorectal cancer. Temozolomide acts by damaging deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in rapidly dividing cells, in other words, cancer cells. ABT-888 inhibits an enzyme called "PARP" which helps to fix damaged DNA. By inhibiting this enzyme, ABT-888 prevents cancer cells from repairing the damage caused by the temozolomide, and will hopefully increase the killing of cancer cells, and decrease the tumors in the body. ABT-888 is an investigational or experimental anti-cancer agent that has not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in colorectal cancer. This study will help find out what effects (good and bad) the combination of drugs, temozolomide and ABT-888 has on colorectal cancer. This research is being done because it is not known if ABT-888 will increase the effectiveness of temozolomide for colorectal cancer.

A study of Avastin (bevacizumab) in combination chemotherapy in patients with metastatic cancer of the colon or rectum. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression.

This is a randomized, multicenter study designed to evaluate the progression free survival of the SOL group (S-1, Leucovorin, and Oxaliplatin) compared with the mFOLFOX6 group (5-FU, l-LV and Oxaliplatin) as first-line treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

This study is a randomized multi-center trial that will assess the effect of adding Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT), using SIR-Spheres microspheres®, to a standard chemotherapy regimen of FOLFOX as first line therapy in patients with non-resectable liver metastases from primary colorectal adenocarcinoma. Treatment with the biologic agent bevacizumab, if part of the standard of care at participating institutions, is allowed within this study at the discretion of the treating Investigator.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, leucovorin, 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. Giving bevacizumab together with combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well MRI works in predicting response to combination chemotherapy given together with bevacizumab in treating patients with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer.
