Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to determine how well regorafenib and anti-EGFR therapy (cetuximab or panitumumab) works for the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Regorafenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab or panitumumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. The purpose of this research study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of taking regorafenib follow by cetuximab or panitumumab, to those that receive cetuximab or panitumumab before regorafenib.

The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and change in disease activity when ABBV-400 is given in combination with Fluorouracil, Folinic Acid, and Bevacizumab to adult participants to treat unresctable metastatic colorectal cancer.

CRC is the third most common type of cancer diagnosed worldwide with developed countries at highest risk. The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and change in disease activity when telisotuzumab adizutecan is given in combination with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil (5FU), leucovorin (LV) (FOLFOX), and bevacizumab or panitumumab.

Telisotuzumab adizutecan is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of mCRC. Fluorouracil and leucovorin are drugs approved for the treatment of mCRC. This study will be divided into two stages, with the first stage treating participants with increasing doses of telisotuzumab adizutecan with FOLFOX and bevacizumab or 5FU/LV and panitumumab until the dose reached is tolerable and expected to be efficacious. Participants will then be randomized into 3 groups called treatment arms where one group will receive one of two optimized doses of telisotuzumab adizutecan from the dose escalation phase with FOLFOX and bevacizumab or 5FU/LV and panitumumab, or a comparator of FOLFOX and bevacizumab or panitumumab. Approximately 390 adult participants with mCRC will be enrolled in the study in 100 sites worldwide.

In the dose escalation stage participants will be treated with increasing intravenous (IV) doses of telisotuzumab adizutecan with FOLFOX and bevacizumab or 5FU/LV and panitumumab until the dose reached is tolerable and expected to be efficacious. In the dose optimization stage participants will be receive FOLFOX or receive 5FU/LV, but with one of two optimized doses of telisotuzumab adizutecan, or a comparator of FOLFOX and bevacizumab/pantitumumab. The study will run for a duration of approximately 6 years.

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 objectives of this study are to genomically characterize patient-derived organoids (PDOs) and primary tissues from colorectal peritoneal cancer (CRC) disease, to evaluate the use of PDOs as a new personalized therapy selection tool for intraperitoneal therapy in CRC peritoneal disease, and to evaluate the use of PDOs as a new personalized therapy selection tool for systemic therapy in CRC peritoneal disease.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the feasibility of generating sufficient MicroOrganpSphere (MOS) from a biopsy of a patient's colorectal cancer liver metastasis to determine sensitivity to standard of care drug used in the treatment of colorectal cancer (oxaliplatin, irinotecan, 5-FU/Xeloda, Bevacizumab, Panitumumab or Cetuximab, Lonsurf, Regorafenib and Pembrolizumab or Nivolumab) in < 14="" />

The secondary objective of this study is to assess the association between standard of care drug sensitivity in MOS to clinical outcome of patient treated with standard of care therapy from which the MOS was derived.

The purpose of this study is to show the quality of life and bowel function in patients who have been diagnosed with rectal cancer and are known to have Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC), especially to make comparisons between clinical managements, family history, and health behaviors.

The purpose of this study is to to determine the sensitivity and specificity of a second-generation multi-target stool DNA test (mt-sDNA 2.0) (Cologuard 2.0®, Exact Sciences Corporation) for colorectal neoplasia (CRN) in subjects with Lynch syndrome.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the short-term outcomes and the quality of life (QOL) after cholecystectomy and hepatic artery infusion pump placement for localized unresectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM).

KRAS gene mutations are present in approximately 40% of colorectal cancers and are known to predict for a lack of benefit from some anti-cancer medications (known as anti-EGFR antibody therapy) that are used in routine clinical practice. Currently, the only way to know if your tumor has one of these mutations is to take a tissue sample or biopsy of one of your tumors.

Unfortunately biopsies carry with them certain risks, including bleeding, infection and/or pain. This study is being done to see if a blood test can detect the KRAS mutations in the DNA circulating in the blood and be an effective method for determining if a patient’s tumor carries the mutation(s) without having to perform a biopsy.
