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.
NCT00337389
To compare the progression-free survival time (PFS) in patients treated with 5-FU modulated with CoFactor (plus bevacizumab) to 5-FU modulated with leucovorin (plus bevacizumab) in patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.
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.
NCT00028405
This multi-center photodynamic therapy study plans to treat patients with large tumors in any superficial location, sarcoma, tumors of oral/oro-pharyngeal cavity, tumors with extensive pelvic involvement, or liver metastasis. The treatment is limited to patients that have failed to respond to currently approved methods of treatment. The study involves a single, intravenous administration of an investigational drug, LS11 (previously studied in approximately 80 cancer patients) and the placement of a novel, flexible light delivery catheter inside the tumor by a minor surgical procedure. The activation of LS11 by the light delivery catheter over a period of 1-24 hrs may result in destruction of tumor tissue.
NCT00493857
This study will determine if nimotuzumab provides a benefit in this type of cancer when given in combination with irinotecan. The study will test: * How long any good effects last. * How bad any side effects are. Objectives: Primary: The primary goal is to assess the Objective Response Rate (ORR) that the combination of irinotecan and nimotuzumab will produce in patients with irinotecan-refractory metastatic colorectal cancer Secondary: * To assess the incidence of Grade 2 or greater acneiform rash or infusion reaction, allergic reaction or anaphylactoid reaction AEs in patients with irinotecan-refractory metastatic colorectal cancer following weekly or 2-weekly nimotuzumab schedules; * To assess Progression-Free Survival (PFS), defined as time from date of randomization until date of disease progression (clinical or radiological) or death due to any cause, for the two nimotuzumab schedules; * To assess the rates and durations of Stable Disease (SD) following weekly or 2-weekly nimotuzumab schedules; * To assess the Time to Disease Progression (TTP) following weekly or 2-weekly nimotuzumab schedules; * To evaluate ORR in patients who are identified as having "primary" irinotecan resistance following weekly or 2-weekly nimotuzumab schedules; * To evaluate Overall Survival (OS) following weekly or 2-weekly nimotuzumab schedules; * To compare the two dosing schedules of nimotuzumab with respect to objective response rates and safety; * To evaluate the overall safety and toxicity profiles of these two dose regimens of nimotuzumab; * To evaluate trough levels and accumulation of nimotuzumab in serum of patients receiving the drug on weekly or 2-weekly regimens.
NCT00073138
The purpose of the study is to determine if ABT-751 will decrease tumors, and determine how long the tumor shrinkage can be maintained in patients with colorectal cancer. Patients will receive ABT-751 by mouth daily for 21 days. Patients will be off drug for 7 days before starting the next cycle of drug.
NCT00034502
This is a non-randomized study in patients who have received prior 5-FU therapy for colorectal cancer. The objective of this trial is to establish a maximum tolerated dose of ALIMTA and irinotecan given in combination as well as to assess the safety and efficacy of this combination for patients with locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer. ALIMTA and irinotecan will be given every 21 days.
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.
NCT00465725
Picoplatin is a new platinum-based chemotherapy drug that has been studied in a variety of cancers. Phase 1 and 2 studies have demonstrated that picoplatin may be effective in patients whose cancer returns or does not improve after treatment with chemotherapy. In these studies, picoplatin was administered intravenously. A capsule containing picoplatin has been formulated. This study will investigate the activity of the oral capsule in humans. Participants with advanced solid tumors will be enrolled.
