Establishing a ctDNA Biomarker to Improve Organ Preserving Strategies in Patients With Rectal Cancer
This study measures the levels of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients with stage II-III rectal cancer before, during, and after treatment to find out if the presence or absence of ctDNA in patient's blood using the Signatera test can be used to gauge how different treatments may affect rectal …
Active Surveillance and Chemotherapy Before Surgery in Treating Participants With Stage II-III Rectal Cancer
This pilot trial studies how well active surveillance and chemotherapy before surgery work in treating participants with stage II-III rectal cancer. Active surveillance involves monitoring participants for additional tumor growth after receiving cancer treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either …
Short Course Radiation Therapy and Combination Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Stage II-III Rectal Cancer
This phase I trial investigates how well short-course radiation therapy followed by combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with stage II-III rectal cancer. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as leucovorin, fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and capecitabine, work in different ways to …

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 …
Screening for Synchronous Metastases in Colorectal Cancer With DW-MRI (SERENADE)
Eligible patients with high risk colorectal malignancy (T3/4, spread greater than 5mm, EMVI positive) will have additional surveillance of breath hold T1, T2 and DW-MRIs (no IV contrast) post surgery six monthly for three years. Findings of liver MRIs as reported by radiology PI will be shared with their local …
Impact of CES1 Genotype on Capecitabine Exposure in Cancer Patients
In this study, the drug capecitabine is investigated. Capecitabine is commonly used to treat breast, colon, and stomach cancers. Capecitabine is taken in tablet form. In the body, capecitabine is converted into the active molecule that has anti-cancer effects. This molecule is called 5-FU. The transformation of capecitabine to 5-FU …
A Study of JMT203 in Patients With Cancer Cachexia
This is an open-label, multicenter Phase I clinical study aimed at evaluating the safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and effectiveness of JMT203 in patients with cancer cachexia.
OligoCare TwiCs (Trials Within Cohorts) Trial Comparing Acute Toxicity in Single-fraction vs Multiple-fraction SBRT for Metastasis-directed Treatment (SPRINT)
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate single-fraction metastases-directed SBRT in the broader radiation oncology community and to compare its safety and efficacy profile with the current Standard of Care (SoC) of multiple-fraction SBRT in patients with oligometastatic disease of primary breast, prostate, NSCLC and colorectal cancer having …
Vaginal DHEA to Improve Vaginal Health After Radiation for Women With Gynecologic, Anal or Rectal Cancer
This phase II trial tests the feasibility and side effects of vaginal DHEA to improve vaginal health after radiation for women with gynecologic, anal or rectal cancer. Treatment of cancers with radiation to the abdomen can influence the vaginal microbiome (any bacteria, virus, or other organisms found in the vagina). …
Individualized Dose Escalation of 5-FU for Gastrointestinal Cancer
This is a single-arm clinical trial to evaluate the feasibility of a chemotherapy regimen using adaptive, individualized dose escalation of 5-FU chemotherapy for patients who have good tolerance of the initial dose. Study participants will also receive oxaliplatin chemotherapy together with 5-FU, at standard doses. The goal of the study …
