NCT00048971
RATIONALE: Genetic testing may help predict how patients will respond to chemotherapy drugs and may help doctors plan more effective treatment with fewer side effects. PURPOSE: Genetic study to determine how genes affect the severity of diarrhea in patients with stage III colon cancer who are receiving chemotherapy.
NCT00311610
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal SN-38, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well liposomal SN-38 works in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
NCT00075868
RATIONALE: Octreotide may be effective in preventing or controlling diarrhea in patients who are undergoing chemoradiotherapy for anal or rectal cancer. It is not yet known whether octreotide is effective in treating diarrhea. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying octreotide in preventing or reducing diarrhea in patients who are undergoing chemoradiotherapy for anal or rectal cancer.
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.
NCT00009737
This 2 arm study will compare the safety and efficacy of oral Xeloda, or 5-fluorouracil in combination with leucovorin, in patients who have undergone surgery for colon cancer. Patients will be randomized to receive either Xeloda 1250mg/m2 po bid on days 1-14 every 21 days, or leucovorin 20mg/m2 iv + 5-fluorouracil 425mg/m2 iv daily from day 1 to day 5 every 28 days. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
NCT00890305
This clinical trial will be performed in previously untreated patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of the study drug, CT-011, in combination with FOLFOX chemotherapy (FOLFOX4 or mFOLFOX6) compared with treatment by FOLFOX alone.
NCT01397747
The primary objective is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the Exact Colorectal Cancer (CRC) screening test for colorectal cancer, using colonoscopy as the reference method. Lesions will be confirmed as malignant by histopathologic examination. The secondary objective is to compare the performance of the Exact CRC screening test to a commercially available FIT assay, both with respect to cancer and advanced adenoma. Lesions will be confirmed as malignant or precancerous by colonoscopy and histopathologic examination.
NCT01226719
In this Phase II study the investigators plan to determine the overall response rate (ORR) of the combination of FOLFOXIRI plus panitumumab as first-line treatment of patients with liver-only metastatic KRAS wild-type colorectal cancer.
NCT00025025
RATIONALE: Screening tests may help doctors detect cancer cells early and plan more effective treatment for colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized screening trial to compare the effectiveness of fecal occult blood testing with that of DNA-based testing of stool and blood in identifying colorectal cancer.
NCT00441337
To evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of MDX-1106 when administered to patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, malignant melanoma, clear cell renal cell cancer or hormone refractory prostate cancer
NCT01364844
This will be a Phase 1, open-label study of DS-7423 to assess its safety and tolerability, identify a RP2D, (recommended Phase 2 Dose) and assess its Pharmacokinetics (PK) (what your body does to process the drugs and how your body gets them out of your system.) and pharmacodynamics (PDy) (Pharmacodynamics is a study of what a drug does to your body) properties in subjects with advanced solid malignant tumors. This study will include 2 parts: part 1-Dose Escalation and part 2-Dose Expansion. Study Hypothesis: DS-7423 will be safe and tolerable, and will exhibit acceptable PK and PDy properties in subjects with advanced solid malignant tumors for whom standard therapy has failed or for whom no standard therapy exists.
NCT01260168
The objective of this study is to confirm the sensitivity of a stool DNA test for detection of colorectal cancer and pre-cancer. Another objective is to provide anonymous, clinically characterized specimens for a bio-repository for future colorectal cancer-related test development.
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.
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.
NCT00103142
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a gene-modified virus and a person's white blood cells may make the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Biological therapies, such as Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Combining different types of biological therapies may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying giving vaccine therapy together with dendritic cells to see how well it works compared to giving vaccine therapy together with GM-CSF in treating patients with liver or lung metastases from colorectal cancer removed by surgery.
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.
NCT00756977
This is a randomized, parallel, multi-center, single-blind study, comparing BLI850 to an FDA approved bowel preparation in adult subjects undergoing colonoscopy.
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.
NCT01124630
Treatment with CS-1008 in combination with FOLFIRI (irinotecan, leucovorin, and 5-fluorouracil \[5-FU\]) in subjects with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) who have failed first-line treatment that was not irinotecan-based.
