Chemoradiation and Consolidation Chemotherapy With or Without Oxaliplatin for Distal Rectal Cancer and Watch and Wait
Background: Neoadjuvant chemoradiation (nCRT) has been considered the preferred initial treatment strategy for distal rectal cancer. Advantages of this approach include improved local control after radical surgery but also the opportunity for organ preserving strategies (Watch and Wait - WW). Consolidation chemotherapy (cCT) regimens using fluoropyrimidine-based with or without oxaliplatin …
Early Ileostomy Closure for Rectal Cancer Patients in North America
Our preliminary work demonstrates that there is buy-in from both patients and surgeons with regards to early ileostomy closure (EIC) for select rectal cancer patients undergoing restorative proctectomy (RP) and diverting loop ileostomy (DLI). The feedback from leaders in Europe further supports the need for a large scale randomized-controlled trial …
A Phase I-II Study to Test the Safety and Efficacy of PD1 (AB122) and Adenosine Receptor (AB928) Antagonists With Chemotherapy After Short-Course Radiation for Rectal Cancer.
Enrolled patients will receive upfront (week 1) short-course radiotherapy to gross pelvic disease (25Gy in 5fx) in combination with AB928 (150 mg orally, once daily as part of a continuous dose regimen). This will be followed by consolidation chemotherapy (weeks 3-20) with mFOLFOX x9 cycles in combination with AB928 and …
Organ Preservation First Strategy and Intentional Watch and Wait for MRI Defined Low-risk Rectal Cancer
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety and efficacy of local excision (LE) or non-operative management (NOM) in patients with MRI defined low-risk rectal cancer following neoadjuvant intensity modulated radiotherapy with concurrent capecitabine plus consolidation CapeOX. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is …
Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy Plus Sintilimab for Intermediate/High Immunoscore Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer
Immunoscore has been reported to be superior to microsatellite instability staging in predicting the disease-specific recurrence and survival for patients with colorectal cancer. However, the relationship between Immunoscore and its impact on patient's response to PD-1 blockade remains to be elucidated. This phase II, prospective, open label study is designed …
Total Neoadjuvant Therapy With mFOLFOX and Short-course Radiation in Resectable Rectal Cancer
This is phase 2 trial of neoadjuvant therapy and short-course radiotherapy in resectable rectal cancer.
Magnetic Resonance Tumour Regression Grade (mrTRG) as a Novel Biomarker - Phase III Non CTIMP Trial
Open to patients undergoing any pre-operative treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer, TRIGGER is the only phase III clinical trial in the UK offering watch and wait. All patients will have post treatment MRI scans routinely performed, no change from the MERCURY trials high resolution MRI protocol is required. Patients …
The Radiation Oncology-Biology Integration Network (ROBIN) Molecular Characterization Trial (MCT) of Standard Short Course Radiotherapy for Rectal Cancer
This trial (molecular characterization trial) focuses on rectal cancer, a common cancer that is treated with radiotherapy (RT) as standard of care and represents a setting in which to study the effects of RT on the immune system.
DETECT: Target Volume for Rectal Endoluminal Radiation Boosting
The aim of the study is to provide prospective data regarding microscopic tumor spread in all directions from the macroscopic tumor in pathology specimens, as seen by eye, and on imaging to define the target volume for endoluminal radiation boosting in rectal cancer patients.
Targeted Optical Biopsy for Local Rectal Scars in Rectal Cancer Patients After Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy
Currently, low concordance (36%) is found between clinical complete response and pathologic complete response in patients with rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Probe-based confocal laser endoscopy (pCLE) provides a promising targeted optical biopsy to evaluate the response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. The aim of this study is to investigate whether pCLE-targeted …
