Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trials

One of the ways that cancer grows and spreads is by avoiding the immune system.NK cells are immune cells that kill cancer cells, but are often malfunctioning in people with colorectal cancer and blood cancers. A safe way to give people with colorectal cancer and blood cancers fresh NK cells from a healthy donor has recently been discovered. The purpose of this study is to show that using two medicines (vactosertib and IL-2) with NK cells will be safe and will activate the donor NK cells. NK cells and vactosertib are experimental because they are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). IL-2 (Proleukin®) has been approved by the FDA for treating other cancers, but the doses used in this study are lower than the approved doses and it is not approved to treat colorectal cancer or blood cancers.

Background: People with colorectal cancer (CRC) or gastroesophageal cancer (GEC) must often have major surgery to remove tumors from the esophagus, stomach, colon, or rectum. These surgeries can have adverse effects on their quality of life. Researchers want to know if one or two approved drugs (nivolumab with or without ipilimumab) can help people with CRC or GEC delay or avoid surgery. Objective: To test 1 or 2 drugs in people with CRC or GEC. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with CRC or GEC. People with GEC must also have changes in a particular gene. Design: Participants will visit the clinic about 15 times over the first 2 years. Each visit will last 4 to 8 hours. Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests. They will have imaging scans. Small samples of tissue will be collected from their upper or lower digestive tract where the tumor is located. Both ipilimumab and nivolumab are administered through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. Some participants will receive both drugs. Some will receive only nivolumab. Treatment will be given once every 3 weeks for up to 8 cycles up to (24 weeks). Participants will be evaluated every 6 weeks. Those who are responding well will continue with the drug treatments. If their disease progresses, they will go to surgery. After treatment ends, participants will have follow-up visits every 6 months for up to 5 years.... Read Less

Background: One way to treat liver cancer is to deliver chemotherapy drugs only to the liver (and not to the whole body). Researchers want to see if adding the drug PDS01ADC can improve the treatment. The drug triggers the immune system to fight cancer.\<TAB\> Objective: To see if treatment with HAIPs to deliver liver-directed chemotherapy in combination with PDS01ADC is effective for certain cancers. Eligibility: People aged 18 and older who have cancer of the bile ducts that is only in the liver, or colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood tests Pregnancy test (if needed) Tumor biopsy (if needed) Electrocardiogram Computed tomography (CT) scans Participants will have an abdominal operation. A catheter will be placed into an artery that feeds blood to the liver. The catheter will then be attached to the HAIP. The HAIP will lay under the skin on the left side of the abdomen. Participants will have chemotherapy drugs or heparin with saline infused into the HAIP every 2 weeks. PDS01ADC will be injected under the skin every 4 weeks. They will get systemic chemotherapy through an IV or mediport every 2 weeks. They will receive this treatment until their cancer gets worse or they have bad side effects. Participants will have 2 study visits each month. They will have CT scans every 8 weeks. At visits, they will repeat some screening tests. Participants will have a follow-up visit 1 month after treatment ends. Then they will be contacted every 6 months for 5 years. Read Less

Background: The National Cancer Institute Surgery Branch (NCI-SB) has developed experimental therapies that involve taking white blood cells from patients' tumor or from their blood, growing them in the laboratory in large numbers, and then giving the cells back to the patient. Objective: This study will allow patients to under screening and evaluation for participation in NC-SB Protocols. Eligibility: Patients 18 years or older must meet the minimum eligibility criteria for an NCI-SB treatment protocol. Design Patients will undergo testing and evaluations as required by the appropriate NCI-SB treatment protocol. ... Read Less

This is a multicenter, open-label, prospective Phase 1/2a study to assess safety and tolerability, establish dosimetry and to identify an optimal imaging dose (radioactivity and mass dose) and imaging time window of 64Cu-LNTH-1363S (64Cu Radiolabeled FAPi PET/CT Imaging Agent) and to compare its imaging biodistribution with FAP expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in patients with sarcomas or GIT cancers. The study will be conducted in 2 parts (Part 1 and Part 2). Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Colorectal Balloon Tube (hereinafter referred to as COLO-BT™) device, a single use, temporary intraluminal bypass device, intended to reduce contact of fecal content with an anastomotic site, following colorectal surgery (open or laparoscopic) Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of zanidatamab for the treatment of participants with previously treated solid tumors that have Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) Immunohistochemistry (IHC) 3+ overexpression. Read Less

A phase 1/2 open-label multicenter study will be performed with an initial dose escalation part to determine the MTD and/or the RP2D of MCLA-129 in monotherapy or in combination in patients with NSCLC, HNSCC, GC/GEJ, ESCC, or other solid tumors and who are treatment naïve or have progressed after receiving prior therapy for advanced/metastatic disease.

This is an open-label, Phase 1/2 study to determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of APL-5125 for the treatment of selected locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors with particular focus on Colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Read Less

Researchers want to learn if sacituzumab tirumotecan (MK-2870) alone or with chemotherapy 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 and how well people tolerate sacituzumab tirumotecan alone or with chemotherapy * How many people have the cancer respond (get smaller or go away) to treatment Read Less

This study consists of phase 1b and 2a to evaluate safety, Pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of TU2218 in combination with Pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors. Read Less

This study is open to adult patients with solid tumors who have a KRAS G12V mutation. This mutation is often found in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colorectal cancer (CRC), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and other cancers. The study is for patients whose cancer has spread through the body and for whom previous treatments were not successful or treatment does not exist. Patients must also be positive for HLA-A\*11:01. The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of AFNT-211 that is safe and can shrink tumors in patients. AFNT-211 is an investigational therapy and this is the first time that AFNT-211 is being administered to patients. AFNT-211 is an autologous T cell product which means that it is made from a patient's own T cells. These cells are engineered and grown to recognize the KRAS G12V protein on the cell surface of cancer cells. AFNT-211 is infused into patients after a short course of lymphodepleting chemotherapy. Patients will frequently visit the study site. The doctors there will regularly check the size of the cancer and the patient's health. They will also take note of any unwanted effects. Patients may continue in this study for as long as they benefit from the treatment. Read Less
