Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common type of cancer diagnosed worldwide. The purpose of this study is to assess the adverse events and change in disease activity of telisotuzumab adizutecan plus bevacizumab compared to standard of care (SOC) of LONSURF (trifluridine and tipiracil) plus bevacizumab in adult participants with c-Met over-expressed refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Telisotuzumab adizutecan is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of CRC. Participants will then be randomized into 2 groups called treatment arms. One group will receive telisotuzumab adizutecan with bevacizumab in different doses. Another group will receive standard of care (SOC), trifluridine and tipiracil (LONSURF), with Bevacizumab. Up to approximately 700 adult participants with refractory mCRC, will be enrolled in the study in approximately 125 sites globally. In this Phase 3, one of two groups will receive doses of Intravenous (IV) telisotuzumab adizutecan + bevacizumab and other group will receive oral SOC of trifluridine/tipiracil (LONSURF)+ Intravenous (IV) bevacizumab. The study will run for a duration of approximately of 36 months. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and side effects.

The purpose of this study is to look at mental health services for adults with depressed mood who were diagnosed with cancer at the age of 65 or older. This study will compare the usual approach for connecting older adults with depressed mood to mental health services with the Open Door for Cancer (OD-C) approach. We will find out if the OD-C approach is practical and useful for cancer patients who participate in the intervention and for providers who see or treat cancer patients.

Background: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) removes tumors in the abdomen. HIPEC is hyperthermic (heated) chemotherapy that washes the inside of the abdomen. CRS with HIPEC may help people with peritoneal carcinomatosis. These are tumors that have spread to the lining of the abdomen from other cancers. Researchers think they can improve the results of CRS with HIPEC treatment on these tumors by choosing the chemotherapy drugs used in HIPEC. Objective: To see if HIPEC after CRS can be improved, using either a model called the SMART (Sustained Microenvironment for Analysis of Resected Tissue) System or using 3-D cell culture (organoid) models, in order to test different chemotherapy drugs on tumors that were surgically removed prior to HIPEC treatment (these models are not attached to the body) versus tumors that were treated with HIPEC while still inside the body before being immediately surgically removed. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older who have peritoneal carcinomatosis that cannot be fully removed safely with surgery. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Electrocardiogram (EKG) Computed tomography (CT) scan Other imaging scans, as needed Tumor biopsy, if needed Laparoscopy (small cuts are made in the abdomen, and a tube with a light and a camera is used to see the organs in the abdomen), if needed Participants will enroll in NIH protocol #13C0176. This allows their tumor samples to be used in future research. Some screening tests may be repeated in the study. Participants will have CRS. As many of their visible tumors will be removed as possible during surgery except for a few specific tumors left to receive the HIPEC treatment. Then they will receive HIPEC and the remaining tumors will be immediately removed. Participants will be in the hospital for 7-21 days after this surgery (CRS with HIPEC). Participants will give tumor, fluid samples (from the abdomen during surgery), blood, saliva, cheek swab, and stool for research. They will complete surveys about their health and quality of life. Participants with peritoneal mesothelioma (mesothelioma primary only) will have genetic (DNA) testing to determine clinical (CLIA level) germline BAP1 status for research use. Participants will have follow-up visits for up to 5 years from CRS with HIPEC. If there is disease progression, participants may have CRS with HIPEC again. Participants will then have follow-up visits for up to 5 years from the date of last CRS with HIPEC. ...

There is a growing number of patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancers who are also simultaneously being treated with GLP-1 Receptor Agonists (RA)s. To date, no clinical trial data exists to establish safety and/or feasibility with use of GLP-1 RAs during chemotherapy in the metastatic setting. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, and correlative analyses of combining GLP-1 RAs with standard chemotherapy in patients with metastatic pancreatic, colorectal, or hepatocellular cancers in the first-line setting.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of combining cemiplimab, cemiplimab/fianlimab, or cemiplimab/REGN7075 with capecitabine/oxaliplatin (CAPOX) for the neoadjuvant treatment of patients with microsatellite stable (MSS) locally advanced rectal cancer (T2 node-positive, T3 node-negative, T3 node-positive).

To compare the objective response rate (ORR) of 18F-FAPI PET-guided abdominal region radiotherapy combined with second-line standard treatment versus cabozantinib and second-line standard treatment in the treatment of peritoneal metastasis of colorectal cancer. Secondary objectives: 1. To compare the disease control rate (DCR), duration of continuous remission (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of 18F-FAPI PET-guided abdominal region radiotherapy combined with second-line standard treatment versus cabozantinib and second-line standard treatment in the treatment of peritoneal metastasis of colorectal cancer. 2. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of 18F-FAPI PET-guided abdominal region radiotherapy combined with second-line standard treatment versus cabozantinib.

Researchers want to learn if sacituzumab tirumotecan (MK-2870) alone or with other treatments can treat certain gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. The GI cancers being studied are either advanced (the cancer has spread to other parts of the body), or unresectable (the cancer cannot be removed with surgery). The goals of this study are to learn: * About the safety of sacituzumab tirumotecan alone or with other treatments and if people tolerate it * How many people have the cancer respond (get smaller or go away) to treatment

This is a phase 2 pragmatic study that evaluates the clinical benefit of continuing systemic therapy with the addition of locally ablative therapies for oligo-progressive solid tumors as the primary objective. The primary outcome measure is the time to treatment failure (defined as time to change in systemic failure or permanent discontinuation of therapy) following locally ablative therapy.

This study is being done to answer the main question of: Do patients with colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery, that is treated with two new immunotherapy drugs, botensilimab and balstilimab, live longer? Other important questions include: Is their quality of life better? Do their tumours slow in growth or possibly shrink in size? Are there markers in their tumour or blood that can predict whether they achieve any of these benefits? In addition, the study is done to confirm the safety of these immunotherapy drugs and to determine how long it takes for the body to metabolize them.

The project aims to investigate whether colorectal cancer screening can be improved using blood tests, thereby reducing the number of unnecessary colonoscopies. The Danish colorectal cancer screening program was implemented in 2014, and currently, all individuals aged 50-74 are invited every two years to participate. Those who test positive for hidden blood in their stool are referred for a colonoscopy. More than a third of the approximately 25,000 colonoscopies performed annually in the screening program can be classified as unnecessary, as they reveal a normal colon. This results in avoidable and unpleasant procedures for individuals and strains healthcare resources. The project seeks to reduce the number of these unnecessary colonoscopies by investigating whether blood biomarkers can identify individuals at very low risk of colorectal cancer after a positive stool test for hidden blood. By utilizing blood tests, screening could become more personalized, precise, and resource-efficient for the healthcare system.

dMMR/MSI-H colorectal cancer patients are the dominant population of immunotherapy/neoadjuvant immunotherapy, but imaging evaluation of immunotherapy efficacy is insufficient. There are some cases, although no disease remission was found on imaging,pathological complete response (pCR) was confirmed after surgery. Meanwhile,previous studies have shown that dynamic changes in ctDNA can help assess immunotherapy efficacy. Therefore, we propose to conduct a multicenter, prospective, observational clinical study to explore the efficacy prediction and monitoring value of ctDNA in immunotherapy for advanced or locally advanced dMMR/MSI-H colorectal cancer.

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of XYA02 in participants with advanced solid tumors.

This study will collect tumor specimens with correlated clinical and demographic data from patients who are undergoing a biopsy or similar procedure to obtain tumor tissue as a normal course of their medical management or diagnostic work-up for suspected or confirmed cancer.

ctDNA stands for circulating tumour DNA. As ctDNA is released by tumour cells into the blood stream, taking a blood sample and analysing it for ctDNA, can provide a lot of useful information about a patient's cancer. In certain situations, ctDNA can be used to screen for or detect cancer early, to aid clinical decisions about which treatment to give a patient, to provide information about if a cancer has become resistant to treatment, or provide information about how much cancer may be left after treatment (residual disease). The aim of this trial is to establish the clinical utility of implementing ctDNA testing in cancer patients with a view to enhance the delivery of personalised care within the National Health Service in the United Kingdom (UK). One hundred patients will be recruited, with 20 from each of the following cancer types: * Non-small cell lung cancer * Gastrointestinal stromal tumours * Colorectal cancer * Biliary tract cancer * Ovarian cancer. Patients must be aged 18 or over, must have had progressive disease whilst receiving anti-cancer treatment, and must be being treated at The Royal Marsden. Patients will have a blood sample taken and analysed using the Marsden360 ctDNA test. The results of the test will be looked at by The Royal Marsden Genomic Tissue Advisory Board (GTAB), and for each individual patient, the GTAB will determine if having a ctDNA test helped to personalise their care by: * Aiding the identification of a genomically-matched standard of care therapy * Aiding the identification of a genomically-matched clinical trial (based in the UK) * Offering additional prognostic information not otherwise available through standard of care testing * Negating the need for a tissue biopsy.

This study will evaluate whether a precision navigation intervention can help community residents at high risk for cancer complete recommended cancer screening. The study will be conducted in communities participating in an urban cancer screening program in China. Eligible participants will be adults aged 45 to 74 years who are permanent residents of participating communities and have been identified as being at high risk for at least one of five cancers: lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, upper gastrointestinal cancer, or liver cancer. Participants must not have completed the corresponding free clinical screening before enrollment. This is a dual-cohort, cluster randomized controlled trial. Communities, rather than individual participants, will be assigned to one of three groups: a precision navigation group, a usual health education group, or a waiting control group. Participants will be classified into two cohorts according to the number of cancers for which they are assessed as high risk. Cohort A will include participants at high risk for three or more cancers, and Cohort B will include participants at high risk for one or two cancers. Participants in the precision navigation group will receive a personalized navigation report matched to their risk profile. The report will explain the screening tests most relevant to them, help them understand screening choices, and provide practical steps to support screening completion. Participants in the usual health education group will receive general cancer screening education materials. Participants in the waiting control group will not receive active screening promotion during the main intervention period, but will receive general education materials after the primary assessment. The main outcome is whether participants complete the recommended cancer screening during follow-up. The study will also assess changes in screening-related decision conflict, anxiety, self-efficacy, and behavioral intention. A subgroup of participants will provide blood samples before and after the intervention to explore possible biological mechanisms related to stress, inflammation, and screening behavior. The results may help improve community-based cancer screening programs and provide evidence for using personalized navigation strategies to increase screening participation among high-risk populations.

This is a prospective observational cohort study conducted at Fundación CTIC in Bogotá, Colombia. It characterizes the oral, fecal and intratumoral microbiome of Colombian adults with advanced solid tumors (gastric, colorectal, breast, cervical and head-and-neck cancer) who receive first-line immunotherapy as standard of care, and compares them with healthy volunteers. Using multi-omics (HiFi metagenomics, 16S, tumor RNA-Seq and untargeted metabolomics), the study aims to identify microbial signatures associated with treatment response and survival, building the initial Colombian cohort of a Cancer Microbiome Atlas with Latin American projection.

The Phase 2 monotherapy portion of this study is currently enrolling and will evaluate the efficacy and safety of PC14586 (INN rezatapopt) in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors harboring a TP53 Y220C mutation. The Phase 1 portion of the study will assess the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of multiple dose levels of rezatapopt as monotherapy and in Phase 1b in combination with pembrolizumab.

Transanal irrigation (TAI) has shown to improve fecal incontinence and increase quality of life in patients with low anterior resection syndrome (LARS). This trial is a small study being conducted to determine whether a larger trial is feasible. Investigators are also doing this research to see if TAI impacts quality of life and improves bowel function within the early post-operative period (1-12 months). This treatment is designed for participants to have more control over their bowel movements and reduce the dependency on immediate access to the toilet.

This study is open to adults aged 18 years and older with different types of HER2+ cancer that has spread and cannot be removed by surgery. People can take part in this study if their tumours show HER2 aberrations and previous treatment was not successful. The purpose of this study is to find a suitable dose of zongertinib that people with different types of HER2+ cancer that has spread can tolerate best when taken together with trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), with trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), with trastuzumab and capecitabine, with zanidatamab, or with mFOLFOX6 (with or without trastuzumab). Another purpose is to check whether zongertinib alone and in combination with other treatments can make tumours shrink. Zongertinib inhibits HER2. HER2 causes cancer cells to grow. In this study, participants receive treatment in cycles. Study participants are treated with zongertinib alone or in combination with other treatments. This study has 2 parts. In Part 1, participants in different groups receive increasing doses of zongertinib. In Part 2, participants are put into different groups by chance. Each group receives a different dose of zongertinib. Every participant has an equal chance of being in each group. During the study, the participants visit the study site regularly. In this study, researchers want to find the highest dose of zongertinib that participants can tolerate when taken together with other treatments. To find this out, researchers look at certain severe health problems that a number of participants have. The doctors regularly check the size of the tumour with imaging methods (CT/MRI) during the study. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
