Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

The investigator assesses the efficacy and safety of alpelisib and capecitabine in patients with PIK3CA mutant metastatic colorectal cancer who failed two prior standard chemotherapies.

Liver metastases (MTS) are the main cause of death for patients affected by colorectal carcinoma (CRC) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), thus representing the major unmet clinical need for these malignancies. Based on preliminary and published data, the investigators hypothesize that innovative immune, gene and cell therapy approaches might overcome the tolerogenic liver microenvironment and represent powerful therapeutic tools for liver MTS of PDAC and CRC. The investigators have therefore planned an observational clinical study to enroll distinct cohorts of patients (i.e., metastatic CRC, metastatic and non-metastatic PDAC) and finely characterize, through integrated state-of-the-art -omics, the immune and non-immune microenvironment of their primary tumor and/or liver metastases as well as correlate changes in the activation status and phenotype of peripheral blood leukocytes. Healthy volunteers will be enrolled as negative controls. The investigators aim at identifying: i) actionable tumor associated antigens (TAAs) and local immune suppressive and regulatory pathways; ii) biological parameters for early diagnosis of relapse; iii) the effect of therapies on the shaping of anti-tumor immune responses. Data collected will be instrumental for the generation of novel advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs). Indeed, this protocol is part of a multi-partner translational program, supported by the AIRC 5 per Mille 2019 grant, focused on the development, validation and implementation for clinical testing of ATMPs to ameliorate the cure of CRC and PDAC and possibly help the study of other solid tumors. Moreover, the systematic and long-term follow-up of enrolled patients will possibly point at early predictors of differential prognosis and patients' categories eligible for tailored therapies, including those with the novel ATMPs.

This trial studies how well an interactive survivorship program works in improving healthcare resources in adolescent and young adult cancer survivors. By improving access to survivorship resources, health literacy, self-management skills, and support, an interactive survivorship program may help to improve adherence to adolescent and young adult healthcare guidelines and reduce cancer-related distress.

Colorectal cancer is the third most frequent neoplasm after prostate and lung in man and breast and lung cancers in woman from Western Countries. The intensive study of predictive factors has strongly ameliorated the therapeutic flow-chart of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) by allowing the selection of patients who benefit from specific therapies. In this context, the assessment of RAS (N- and K-) oncogene mutations is able to predict the response to anti-EGFR agents being mutated RAS mCRC patients resistant to these drugs. In this group of patients the use of anti-angiogenic drugs (bevacizumab and aflibercept) is predominant. Still to date there are no studies to guide oncologists in the selection of the best anti-angiogenic drug (bevacizumab beyond progression vs aflibercept) after failure of the first-line chemotherapy in RAS-M mCRC patients. The present is the first observational, pragmatic, prospective study aimed to report outcomes of mCRC patients treated with folfiri plus bevacizumab versus folfiri plus aflibercept in second-line treatment of mRAS mCRC. Furthermore, the serum levels of angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1), angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), vascular endothelial growth factor-A and C (VEGF-A and C), stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), platelet-derived growth factor beta (PDGF-β), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), interleukin-8 (IL-8), chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2), and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 (CCL5) and Placental Growth Factor (PlGF), will be evaluated before starting second-line chemotherapy with bevacizumab or aflibercept in order to evidence any pattern related to response and/or prognosis. The hypothesis is that knowledge of eventual unbalance of these factors could help to select the best anti-angiogenic drug in second-line treatment of mRAS mCRC patients.

COPE is a biology driven protocol with 2 independent, multicentric, two-arm non-comparative randomized (2:1) phase II trials in 2 distinct populations: colorectal cancer patients and non-small-lung cancer patients. For each phase II trial, patient will be randomized between two arms with two patients randomized in arm A for one patient randomized in arm B: Arm A (Experimental - initial MTB providing therapeutic recommendation based on tumor sequencing and then follow-up combining standard imaging and ctDNA analysis) Arm B (Standard - initial MTB providing therapeutic recommendation based on tumor sequencing and then follow-up based on standard imaging).

To explore the short-term and long-term outcomes of fluorescence laparoscopic navigation D2 lymph node dissection for colorectal cancer surgery by comparing it with D3 lymph node dissection.

This is an open-label phase II study, with the aim of investigating the efficacy and safety of Tislelizumab + Fruquintinib combination therapy in ARID1A-mutated pMMR/MSS metastatic colorectal cancer who have been treated with standard chemotherapy that includes fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan. Patients with hypermutated CRC that carries POLE/POLD1 mutations cannot be included.

To find the recommended dose of MRTX849 that can be given in combination with cetuximab and irinotecan to patients with colorectal cancer that have a mutation (genetic change) called KRAS G12C.

The aim of this study is to collect data from different centres to obtain a larger case series and enable a better definition of the outcomes after pancreatic metastasectomy from primary colorectal cancer. To evaluate the possible benefits of surgery, we intend to retrospectively analyze the outcome of patients in whom pancreatic metastases have been surgically treated. Primary objective; To evaluate feasibility and safety of pancreas resection in metastatic colorectal cancer To evaluate oncological outcome at six months from surgical procedure Secondary objective: 1. To evaluate oncological outcome at 12 months from surgical procedure

In this study, the Quintuple method was applied for early intervention of prehepatic CTC-positive bowel cancer patients without dominant liver metastasis, aiming to explore the blocking effect of the Quintuple method on the metachronous liver metastases of colorectal cancer. A one-arm randomized clinical trial was conducted, and the patients were grouped according to their treatment methods. The patients with metachronous liver metastases were used as the end point of the experiment to evaluate the blocking effect of quintuple therapy.
