NCT00008281
RATIONALE: 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 chemotherapy is more effective for metastatic colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: Phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of three chemotherapy regimens in treating patients who have metastatic colorectal cancer.
NCT00012389
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known if irinotecan is more effective with or without oxaliplatin in treating metastatic colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of irinotecan with or without oxaliplatin in treating patients who have metastatic colorectal cancer.
NCT00835679
This phase 0 trial is studying whether 2 weeks of cetuximab and dasatinib will change tumor cells in patients with colorectal cancer and liver metastases that can be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, 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. Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT00352638
RATIONALE: Printed educational materials and counseling by telephone may improve colorectal cancer screening compliance in brothers and sisters of patients with colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying standard or personalized printed educational materials with or without telephone counseling to compare how well they work in increasing colorectal cancer screening compliance in brothers and sisters of patients with colorectal cancer.
NCT00027833
RATIONALE: Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Tetanus toxoid may make tumor cells more sensitive to chemotherapy and vaccine therapy. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy and vaccine therapy with or without tetanus toxoid compared with chemotherapy alone in treating patients who have metastatic colorectal cancer.
NCT01416168
Surgery for colorectal cancer is a major surgery. People above the age of 60 tend to have a higher risk of complications. Some studies indicate that senior cancer patients might benefit from a home support after surgery by a geriatric nurse practitioner and a team, beside their usual post-operative care. The investigators team is planning a large study to assess whether this approach could help patients with colorectal cancer recover better from their surgery, get better cancer treatment after that (e.g. chemotherapy), and possibly live longer. This study you are asked to take part in is a pilot for this large study.
NCT00006786
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Bevacizumab may stop the growth of colorectal cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus bevacizumab in treating patients who have advanced colorectal cancer.
NCT00077337
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as FR901228, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well FR901228 works in treating patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer.
NCT00451880
The purpose of this study is to determine the safest dose of the multiple Raf kinase inhibitor (including c-Raf, B-Raf, and the activated mutant B-RafV600E) XL281, how often it should be taken, and how well subjects with cancer tolerate XL281. This study will also determine how the body reacts to XL281 when it is taken with and without food, and with and without Pepcid (famotidine), a drug that inhibits stomach acid production.
NCT00120172
Currently there is no one standard of care for older patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The study will examine the tumor response to capecitabine, oxaliplatin, plus bevacizumab. The study will also gather information on the usefulness and side effects of this treatment combination.
NCT01306630
This is an open-label, multi-center, dose-finding study of tivozanib administered in combination with capecitabine. During the dose-escalation portion, sequential cohorts of subjects with advanced solid tumors will be enrolled in order to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). If the MTD is not reached, the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) will be determined. In the expansion cohort, subjects with locally advanced or metastatic breast or colon cancer will be enrolled at MTD (or RP2D) to further evaluate safety and activity of this combination in these tumor types.
NCT00110721
This is a Phase II, multi-center study of GM-CT-01 which has been shown to increase the anti-tumor activity of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in mice. 5-FU is a chemotherapy drug commonly used in cancer patients. In this Phase II study, patients with colon cancer which has spread, despite treatment with approved therapies, will receive GM-CT-01 plus 5-FU in monthly cycles for at least 2 cycles or until their disease progresses.
NCT00756977
This is a randomized, parallel, multi-center, single-blind study, comparing BLI850 to an FDA approved bowel preparation in adult subjects undergoing colonoscopy.
NCT00017082
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of oxaliplatin in treating patients who have recurrent metastatic colorectal cancer.
NCT01600209
The objective of this study is to confirm the sensitivity and specificity of a stool DNA test for detection of colorectal cancer and pre-cancer.
NCT00410579
RATIONALE: Learning about quality of life, symptoms, and health behaviors in colorectal cancer survivors may help to determine the long-term effects of colon and rectal cancer treatments and may help to improve the quality of life for future cancer survivors. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is looking at patient-reported outcomes in long-term survivors of colon and rectal cancers.
NCT00003254
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Ethynyluracil may help fluorouracil kill more cancer cells by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of fluorouracil plus ethynyluracil in treating patients with advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to fluorouracil.
NCT00707889
To determine the effect of ABT-869 plus mFOLFOX6 compared to bevacizumab plus mFOLFOX6 on disease progression in advanced colorectal cancer.
NCT00004042
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody F19 in treating patients who have advanced or metastatic cancer.
