Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

Phase I Study of biweekly combination therapy with S-1, Irinotecan, and Bevacizumab as 1-line Chemotherapy in Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer.

This is a pragmatic, randomized, controlled trial comparing whether a mailed outreach intervention offering patients who are not up-to-date with colorectal cancer (CRC) a choice of completing a home Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) test or scheduling a screening colonoscopy increases CRC screening completion compared to a mailed FIT kit outreach program (which does not offer an explicit choice of screening modality). The trial will be conducted in a racially and socioeconomically diverse cohort of patients served by an integrated safety net delivery system that has a "FIT first" population health screening strategy. All patients will also have access to whatever CRC screening is recommended through usual visit-based care.

Oxaliplatin is a cytotoxic platinum compound and is one of the chemotherapeutic agent used in advanced colorectal cancer. It is used combined with Fluorouracil (5 FU) and Leucovorin. The main and most suffering side effect of oxaliplatin is polyneuropathy. Oxaliplatin-induced polyneuropathy (OIPN) can be acute and/or chronic neurotoxicity. The early detection of the neurotoxicity and changing the medication dose and/or schedule can prevent its development. It has been used different neurotoxicity scales in grading OIPN. In this study the investigators try to investigate whether the evaluation of the vibrotactile perception VTP, by using a multi frequency tactilometry in a patients hand and foot is a good indicator and superior to the standard of care to detect the underlying OIPN in patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy treatment with FOLFOX, FLOX or XELOX regime.

This is a Phase 3, randomized, open-label, 2-arm trial designed to evaluate overall survival (OS) following treatment with Sym004, an investigational medicinal product (IMP), versus TAS-102 (trifluridine/tipiracil), a comparator (control) agent.

Elective surgery is the most effective treatment option for colorectal cancer, however it has been recognized to be associated with high morbidity and mortality risks. ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) is a preoperative multimodality treatment package, which has been well investigated and proved to be effective in reducing early postoperative morbidity, mortality, length of hospital stay and hospital costs, as well. Still, a good proportion of patients are not suitable for ERAS program, mainly based on lack of compliance and the impaired physical function before surgery. Prehabilitation Program is a recently introduced trimodal preoperative preparation (training) program, which addresses improvement of physical, mental and nutritional status of the high risk elective surgery patients. This study aims to investigate the benefit of all efforts of a 4-6-week preoperative preparation program (Prehabilitation) being added to an established ERAS protocol.

Anastomotic fistula is the most feared complication after surgical resection of colorectal cancer (CCR). It occurs in 6 to 15% of patients. Beyond the risk of death in the immediate postoperative period, the pain that it induces, the resources required for its management, the need for stomata with a negative impact on patients' quality of life and the prolongation of hospitalization, it also has a now-recognized adverse effect on long-term survival. The early detection of this complication may limit its impact. C-reactive protein (CRP) has proved to be an early, reliable marker of the onset of infectious complications of colorectal surgery. However, the diagnostic procedure to implement in these patients is not at all codified, since this population concerned by systematic CRP assay in the postoperative period is very recent. The procedures to implement in these patients so that they can obtain the maximal benefit of an early diagnosis have not yet been established. An algorithm for the proactive clinical management must be drawn up to be able to confirm or rule out the presence of a fistula as soon as a high level of CRP is detected, and to propose a quick treatment to ensure that patients benefit from this early diagnosis.

Trial Design This is an open label, single-arm, phase IB/II trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and anti-tumor efficacy of epacadostat (INCB024360) in combination with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) plus azacitidine in patients with chemo-refractory MSS mCRC. The phase 1B portion of the study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and RP2D of epacadostat (INCB024360) in combination with pembrolizumab plus azacitidine in subjects with chemo-refractory MSS mCRC without any further standard treatment options. The phase 2 portion of the study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of epacadostat (INCB024360) in combination with pembrolizumab plus azacitidine in subjects with chemo-refractory MSS mCRC without any further standard treatment options. In both phase IB and phase 2 portions, patients will receive the combination of azacitidine, pembrolizumab and epacadostat (INCB024360) for the first 18 cycles (Cycles 1-18). Beginning with Cycle 19 through Cycle 35, patients will receive the combination of pembrolizumab and epacadostat (INCB024360).

This study is designed to evaluate the short-term and long-term results after single incision laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer（SILSC） compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer（CLSC）.

This is a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial to assess the effects of daily 4-gram marine omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (MO3PUFA), through treatment with AMR101 (VASCEPA, icosapent ethyl) on the tumor immune microenvironment and gut microbiome in patients who are diagnosed with colorectal cancer or with a colorectal mass or polyp suspected to be a cancer or advanced adenoma and will undergo surgical resection or interventional endoscopy at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). It uses the novel "window-of-opportunity" clinical trial design to take advantage of the window of time between cancer/mass/polyp diagnosis and surgery to examine the effect of therapeutic agents on tumor pathologic and molecular features unperturbed by prior therapies.

To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and the toxicity profile (NCI CTCAE v5.0 and immune related adverse events) of i.t. administration of anti-CTLA4 antibody (ipilimumab) and TLR4 agonist (synthetic glucopyranosyl lipid A formulated in a stable emulsion [GLA-SE]) in colorectal LM (CRLM) in combination with intravenous (i.v.) administration of anti-PD-1 antibody (nivolumab) and chemotherapy (FOLFOX regimen).
