Neoadjuvant CIETAI With Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy in Local Advanced Rectal Cancer
To increase the efficacy of neoadjuvant PD-1/PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor in local advanced rectal cancer (LARC), we propose preoperative arterial infusion of Tirellizumab and oxaliplatin followed by tumor artery embolization with concurrent chemoradiotherapy as neoadjuvant regimen for LARC.
Machine Learning-based Surgical Guidance System for Robot-assisted Rectal Surgery
The aim of the study is to evaluate the technical feasibility and applicability of a surgical assistance system based on image recognition algorithms in a first-in-human pilot study. In addition, this study will provide preliminary data on the oncological outcome of the assistance system.
Epacadostat (INCB024360) Added to Preoperative Chemoradiation in Patients With Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate epacadostat when given with routine radiation therapy and chemotherapy (capecitabine and oxaliplatin) to treat rectal cancer before routine surgery is performed to remove the tumor. The Phase II portion of the trial has not started recruiting.
Trial of the Efficacy and Safety of Short and Long Course Radiation Therapy With/Without BMX-001
In this Phase 2 study, we will conduct an efficacy and safety study of the combination of investigational drug BMX-001, with short-course radiotherapy (SCRT) or long-course chemoradiotherapy (LCCRT) as part of total neoadjuvant therapy in newly diagnosed rectal adenocarcinoma (RAC) patients.
Total Neoadjuvant Treatment Combined With Adaptive Radiotherapy for Rectal Cancer
Diarrhea was the most frequently reported severe adverse event in the treatment regime of pre-operative sequential short-course radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy (so called total neo-adjuvant treatment). This study therefore investigates the benefit of on-couch adaptation for locally advanced rectal cancer patients undergoing this treatment regime.
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 …
Watchful Waiting for Complete Responders to Therapy in Rectal Cancer
The purpose of this project is to determine if in a selected group of patients, at higher risk of wound dehiscence and other complications, treatment by local excision and management by a "watchful waiting" or an initial "non-operative management" approach, with an offer of radical resection only to those patients …
Neo-adjuvant Pembrolizumab and Radiotherapy in Localised MSS Rectal Cancer
This project investigates the clinical and biological impact of combining immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) with short course radiotherapy (5Gy, five times) in the neo-adjuvant treatment of localised microsatellite stable (MSS) rectal cancer.
Preoperative Short-Course Radiation Therapy With PROtons Compared to Photons In High-Risk RECTal Cancer (PRORECT)
To investigate a potential toxicity benefit of preoperative radiation therapy with protons compared to conventional photon beam radiation therapy in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.
