Nordic ORgan Preservation Pilot Approach Nonrandomised Single-Arm Trial for Non-Operative Management of Rectal Cancer
The goal of this one-arm clinical trial is to implement and study the oncological outcomes of nonoperative management of rectal cancer having complete clinical response to neoadjuvant therapy. The main questions to answer are if the oncological results of nonoperative management after Nordic practice in chemoradiotherapy indications differ from experiences …
Asian Watch-and-Wait Database (AWWD)
The standard treatment approach of localized rectal adenocarcinoma involves neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy followed by assessment for surgery and optional adjuvant chemotherapy. However, such patients who achieve complete of near complete clinical response after neoadjuvant therapy are increasingly being managed with the 'Watch-and-Wait strategy' in the recent years. Although safety …
Phase 2 Single-Arm Rectal Cancer Brachytherapy for Patients With Low-Lying Residual Adenocarcinoma After Total Neoadjuvant Therapy to Improve Organ Preservation Rates
Rectal cancer patients who do not achieve a complete response to standard of care chemotherapy and radiation often require surgical resection as part of curative intent therapy. This study will evaluate whether additional "focal" radiation delivered internally (rectal brachytherapy) can provide complete responses and thus spare the requirement for surgery. …
Patients With Rectal Cancer: a "Wait-and-see" Approach
Patients with histologically proven adenocarcinoma of the rectum will receive pelvic radiotherapy to a dose of 45Gy in 25 fractions with a tumor boost to a dose of 9Gy in 5 fractions (thus total of 54Gy/30Fx to the primary tumor), combined with radio sensitizing chemotherapy. Patients will then be closely …
PACE: PD-1 Antibody For dMMR/MSI-H Stage III Colorectal Cancer
In this open-label phase III study, patients with local advanced colon cancer (TanyN+ ,M0, dMMR/MSI-H, at least 10cm from the anus verge)will be scheduled to Group A: receive anti-PD-1 antibody alone (8 cycles, 200mg iv drip Q3W) and Group B (4 or 8 cycles of XELOX: oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 day 1, …
Sacral Neuromodulation as Treatment for Fecal Incontinence
The objective of this study is to investigate if low level laser therapy will do more good than harm for patients with severe refractory fecal incontinence. It is a proof of concept study without a placebo arm.
Addressing Disparities in Colorectal Cancer Screening in Black and Underserved Phoenix Communities
This clinical trial studies disparities involving colorectal cancer prevention and screening in Black and underserved communities in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The Black community is disproportionately impacted by colorectal cancer, with the highest rate of any racial/ethnic group in the United States. There are complex reasons behind these disparities, largely …
Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of Autologous Fat Injection Into the Intersphincter Space in Fecal Incontinence: a Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Cross-over, Double-blind Trial
Fecal incontinence is frequent and has a significant impact on the quality of life of individuals. Its therapeutic management is based primarily on transit regulation and rehabilitation and secondarily on neuromodulation of the sacral roots. However, this strategy is insufficient in more than one patient out of three. The patient …
Acute Genital Nerve Stimulation for Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction in Individuals Living With Spinal Cord Injury
Bowel issues occur in nearly all people after spinal cord injury (SCI) and one major complication is fecal incontinence (accidents). This complication has been repeatedly highlighted by people living with SCI as particularly life-limiting and in need of more options for interventions. This study will test the effect of genital …
A Web-Based Dyadic Intervention for Colorectal Cancer
This clinical trial studies how well a web-based dyadic intervention works to manage psychoneurological symptoms for patients with colorectal cancer and their caregivers. Patients with colorectal cancer receiving chemotherapy experience severe and distressing psychoneurological symptoms that include fatigue, depression, sleep disturbance, pain, and cognitive dysfunction. When these co-occurring symptoms are …
