Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

Phase 1 study evaluating feasibility, safety, and immune response to a personalized neoantigen vaccine combined with retifanlimab for MMR-p mCRC and mPDAC patients with measurable disease following first-line FOLFIRINOX/FOLFOXIRI (FFX).

This is a 3-arm randomized trial aimed at increasing rates of participation in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening by outreach to patients' homes using choice architecture informed by behavioral science principles.

This study involves a partnership between UTHealth School of Public Health and the Texas 2-1-1 service, which is a helpline connecting low-income and minority callers with a number of needed services. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a prevention program in which a phone navigator intervention designed to connect 2-1-1 helpline callers to evidence-based screening and prevention services including mammography, Pap test screening, colorectal cancer screening, and HPV vaccination.

Korean Americans report the lowest and declined rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, compared to general population in the United States. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a community-based multifaceted intervention designed to improve CRC screening among Korean Americans.

AIMS To identify the underlying mechanism by which Vitamin D reduces colorectal cancer risk. OBJECTIVES To demonstrate the effects of vitamin D supplementation on serum vitamin D levels. To demonstrate dynamic changes in gene expression in response to vitamin D. To demonstrate the mechanism underlying the gene-environment interaction of vitamin D, susceptibility genetic variants (risk genes) and colorectal cancer.

This study is designed to determine the optimal bowel preparation regimen for PillCam® COLON 2 Capsule Endoscopy System (CCE) procedures in average risk patients. Patients will be randomized to receive one of two bowel preparation regimens prior to PillCam CCE.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of irinotecan hydrochloride, based on a genetic test, when given in combination with fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and cetuximab as first-line therapy in treating patients with an abnormal gene called RAS wild-type that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). Patients may also have a gene called uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1) that may interfere with the way irinotecan hydrochloride is absorbed by the body and may not be able to tolerate it. Determining the presence of this gene may help determine the best dose of irinotecan hydrochloride when given with fluorouracil and leucovorin calcium (FOLFIRI). Combination chemotherapy, such as FOLFIRI, works in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Cetuximab may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving FOLFIRI together with cetuximab may be a better treatment for patients with colorectal cancer.

The present study aims to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of exhaled breath analysis with the Aeonose (the eNose Company, Zutphen, the Netherlands) to distinguish the breath of patients suspected for CRC (based on a positive fecal immunochemical test), who are truly diagnosed with CRC, from patients suspected for CRC in whom this diagnosis is rejected after colonoscopy.

Evaluation of the sensitivity of the immuno-PET PET / CT pretargeted with the bispecific anti-CEA x anti-HSG TF2 antibody and IMP-288 peptide labeled with Gallium-68 for imaging potential candidate patients for surgery of local resection of one or more metastases at diagnosis or during relapse CCR expressing CEA.

Serrated Polyposis Syndrome (SPS) is a high-risk condition for colorectal cancer (CRC). SPS patients have a cumulative CRC risk of 1.9% in 5 years despite a strict endoscopic surveillance in specialized centers. Proximal serrated lesions are endoscopically challenging to detect due to their unremarkable morphology. Endocuff is a novel device comprised of a cap with a row of finger-like projections with a unique dynamic shape that help to flatten mucosal folds during withdrawal of the instrument in order to improve detection of lesions. Recent studies have reported an increase of detection rate and mean per patient of adenomas with Endocuff-assisted Colonoscopy compared with Standard Colonoscopy. The purpose of this study is to assess the usefulness of Endocuff-assisted Colonoscopy to detect serrated lesions in SPS patients undergoing surveillance compared to Standard Colonoscopy in a randomized fashion
