NCT03821948
The primary objective of this study is to collect de-identified, clinically-characterized stool and whole blood specimens for use in developing and evaluating the performance of new biomarker assays for detection of colorectal cancer (CRC).
NCT00006366
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known which regimen of radiation therapy plus chemotherapy is more effective for rectal cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare two regimens of radiation therapy plus chemotherapy followed by surgery in treating patients who have locally advanced cancer of the rectum.
NCT01511653
The investigators are undertaking a multi-center, 13000 subject validation study of several biomarkers for early detection of colon cancer. There are stool based biomarkers and blood based biomarkers being validated in this study. The biomarkers will be compared with colonoscopy and with FIT (fecal immunohistochemistry) tests which are the current standards for colon cancer screening. This is an NCI-early Detection Research Network funded project. The population targeted for this study are those persons undergoing colonoscopy for screening. Prior to colonoscopy or even prepping for colonoscopy, subjects will provide blood and stool samples as well as specific data regarding their GI and general medical history and concomitant medications. If subjects are interested in participating, arrangements will be made to see them. The informed consent process will take place, blood will be obtained, data will be obtained, and the stool kit described and given to the subject to take home. Stool samples will be sent back to the University of Michigan using prepaid mailing labels.
NCT01183780
The purpose of this study is to compare overall survival in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with either ramucirumab and FOLFIRI or placebo and FOLFIRI.
NCT00252564
The purpose of this study is to compare the rates of Progression-Free Survival (PFS) at 12 months for patients treated with Bev-FOLFOX versus patients treated with FOLF-CB for first line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer.
NCT00023868
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, fluorouracil, and leucovorin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping the cells from dividing. Chemoembolization kills tumor cells by blocking the blood flow to the tumor and keeping chemotherapy drugs near the tumor. It is not yet known if chemoembolization is more effective than standard chemotherapy in treating metastatic cancer. PURPOSE: This phase I trial and randomized phase III trial is studying the effectiveness of chemoembolization in treating patients who have colorectal cancer metastatic to the liver.
NCT02205307
This is a randomized, controlled, parallel, multicenter study to determine the difference in post-operative anastomotic leak rate in low anterior resection procedures where colon and rectal tissue perfusion is evaluated using PINPOINT as an adjunct to standard surgical practice compared to surgical procedures performed according to standard surgical practice alone.
NCT00724503
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.
NCT03705013
The primary endpoint is to obtain longitudinal information on four sub-populations from the Cologuard Post-Approval Study.
NCT00081289
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Chemoradiotherapy (combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy) before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed. Giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying two different regimens of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy and comparing how well they work in treating patients who are undergoing surgical resection for locally advanced rectal cancer.
NCT00967616
This phase 2, randomized, active-controlled, open-label, parallel group, multicenter study will be conducted at up to 18 study centers in the US, Central America, and South America. Adult subjects with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) who failed first-line chemotherapy will participate in the study, which will be conducted on an outpatient basis. It is anticipated that 100 subjects will be enrolled to obtain approximately 90 evaluable subjects.
NCT02960594
This is a Phase I, open label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of INO-1400 or INO-1401 alone or in combination with INO-9012, delivered by electroporation in subjects with high-risk solid tumor cancer with no evidence of disease after surgery and standard therapy. Subjects will be enrolled into one of ten treatment arms. Subjects will be assessed according to standard of care. Restaging and imaging studies will be performed to assess disease relapse per NCCN guidelines. RECIST will be used to validate the findings in cases of relapse.
NCT01490866
This is a non-randomized, open-label, Phase II trial investigating axitinib as a single-agent maintenance therapy following standard first-line FOLFOX/bevacizumab therapy for patients with mCRC.
NCT01925274
This study will investigate whether the combination of PF-05212384 plus Irinotecan improves progression free survival in patients with KRAS and NRAS wild type metastatic colorectal cancer when compared with the combination of cetuximab plus Irinotecan. A Japanese Lead in Cohort will assess the safety of the combination of PF-05212384 + irinotecan in patients enrolled at Japanese sites.
NCT01133132
This study will develop and test the benefits of a new ICCS (Interactive Cancer Communication System), a mobile Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System (Survivorship CHESS) in colon cancer survivors. Survivorship CHESS will provide information, tools, and a support system based on our previous work with FRESH START and CHESS, two highly successful interventions that have promoted lifestyle change among cancer patients and survivors. Survivorship CHESS will be designed to help subjects develop 1) competence in information gathering, decision-making, and behaviors they are trying to change, 2) social support systems to help deal with the cancer experience, and 3) autonomy that comes with regaining a sense of control over their lives; this in turn, will help them adopt or maintain healthy lifestyle behaviors and improve their quality of life.
NCT00816777
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Irinotecan Bead in combination with intravenous chemotherapy versus intravenous chemotherapy alone in the treatment of unresectable liver metastases in patients with colorectal cancer. The results of this study are intended to be used in support of a PMA application for a combination device
NCT02860780
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of the study drug prexasertib in combination with ralimetinib in participants with advanced or metastatic cancer.
NCT04006301
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of JNJ-74699157 in participants with advanced solid tumors harboring a kirsten rat sarcoma virus homolog (KRAS) glycine-to-cysteine (G12C) mutation (Part 1: Dose escalation) and to determine the safety and preliminary antitumor activity of JNJ-74699157 at the RP2D regimen in participants with advanced solid tumors harboring a KRAS G12C mutation (Part 2: Dose expansion).
NCT02083653
This is a Phase 2, open-label, randomized, 3-arm trial investigating the efficacy of two Sym004 doses (Arm A and Arm B) compared with a control group (Arm C) in subjects with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and acquired resistance to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).
NCT01117428
