Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness (quality of bowel cleansing) and ease of use (patient satisfaction) of two methods of administration of a precolonoscopy PEG solution in hospitalized patients.

To assess the safety and tolerability of sunitinib when administered in combination with modified FOLFOX6 in Japanese patients with metastatic colorectal cancer in the first-line treatment setting.

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. 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 combination chemotherapy together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving combination chemotherapy together with bevacizumab and to see how well it works in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Part 1: To define the recommended dose of brivanib that can be safely administered in combination with Erbitux (Cetuximab) and irinotecan to subjects with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC) Part 2: To compare median duration of progression free survival (PFS)

This study determined the maximum tolerated dose and safety of SU011248 (sunitinib malate, SUTENT) in combination with FOLFOX [Leucovorin + Fluorouracil (5-FU) + Oxaliplatin]. Three different dosing regimens with starting doses of sunitinib at 37.5 mg/day (Schedule 2/2, Schedule 4/2, and Continuous Dosing) were tested in patients with advanced solid tumors, including colorectal cancer.

This 2 arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of Avastin in combination with irinotecan + 5-fluorouracil/folinic acid, versus irinotecan + fluorouracil/folinic acid alone, as first line treatment in Chinese patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Patients will be randomized 2:1 to receive 6-weekly cycles of Avastin (5mg/kg iv every 2 weeks) + irinotecan 125mg/m2 iv / leucovorin 20mg/m2 iv / fluorouracil 500mg/m2 iv weekly for 4 weeks, or 6-weekly cycles of irinotecan 125mg/m2 iv / leucovorin 20mg/m2 iv / fluorouracil 500mg/m2 iv weekly for 4 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the sample size is 100-500 individuals.

The aim of this study is to compare the activity and safety of Oxaliplatin and S-1 (OS) and Oxaliplatin and Capecitabine (XELOX) in patients with advance or recurrent colorectal cancer.

Primary objective : To compare the combination of S-1 and oxaliplatin(SOX) to the combination of capecitabine and oxaliplatin(COX) therapy for advanced or metastatic colorectal carcinoma. Secondary objectives : To evaluate and compare the efficacy (overall survival and response rate) in the two treatment groups. To evaluate and compare the quality of life of the patients and safety profiles of the two treatment groups.

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. This study specifically administers the vaccine systemically to explore whether dendritic cell targeted vaccines can generate more robust effects via intravenous injection. (CDX 1307-02)

The primary objective of this study is to estimate the treatment effect on progression-free survival (PFS) of panitumumab relative to bevacizumab in combination with mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy as first-line therapy in patients with tumors expressing wild-type KRAS, unresectable mCRC.
