This phase II trial tests how well immunotherapy (toripalimab) works for reducing the risk of cancer recurrence after surgery in patients with mismatch repair deficient stage IIB, IIC, or III colon cancer.
This study is open to adults with advanced cancer of the colon, rectum, stomach, or pancreas, that is the cancer cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. People can take part in this study if their previous treatment was not successful, or no other treatment exists. The study aims to find the highest dose for the study medicine called BI 765049 that people with advanced cancer can tolerate. Another purpose is to find the most suitable dose and best way of administration of BI 765049 for further clinical development. BI 765049 may help the immune system fight cancer. Participants receive BI 765049 at least once every 3 weeks. Participants may continue to get BI 765049 treatment as long as they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it. During this time, participants regularly visit the study site. The study visits include several overnight stays at the hospital. At the visits, study doctors check participants' health, take necessary laboratory tests, and note any unwanted effects. Unwanted effects are any health problems that the doctors think were caused by the study medicine or treatment. To find the highest dose of BI 765049 that participants can tolerate, researchers look at the number of participants with certain severe health problems. These are severe health problems that happen within 1 week after the first treatment with the intended dose.
This phase II trials evaluates how well different types of phytocannabinoids (cannabidiol \[CBD\] versus tetrahydrocannabinol \[THC\] and CBD formulation \[THC:CBD\]) work to reduce chronic chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy among breast and colon cancer survivors. Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy is a set of symptoms that includes pain, tingling, numbness and motor weakness caused by certain types of chemotherapy treatment. Phytocannabinoids are compounds made by the cannabis plant, such as THC and CBD, that have been found to be an effective treatment for chronic pain. Phytocannabinoids may be effective in reducing chronic chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy symptoms in patients treated for breast or colon cancer.
This trial evaluates how inhalational anesthesia (drawn in through the lungs) and total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) (through a needle in a vein in the arm) change the body's ability to recover from surgery or whether they impact the immune system immediately after surgery in patients with colon cancer. It is unknown whether these types of anesthesia change recovery from surgery or change the chances cancer comes back following surgery. This study may help researchers learn how different types of anesthesia affect recovery from colon cancer surgery.
To learn if cemiplimab can help to control dMMR colon cancer.
This is a Phase II open-label trial of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy with Atezolizumab and CAPOX followed by surgery and potentially adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with localized resectable pMMR adenocarcinoma of the colon with a target accrual of 28 patients. The investigators will explore if appropriately timed neoadjuvant CAPOX with anti-PD-L1 mAb (Atezolizumab) can be administered safely and feasibly, and that this combination will lead to improved clinical response associated with enhanced numbers of immune cells in surgically resected colon tumors. Patients will receive 4 cycles of atezolizumab in combination with 4 cycles of CAPOX (atezolizumab will be administered prior to chemotherapy) before standard of care surgical resection. Following surgery, patients still considered to be at high-risk of recurrence (per SOC guidelines) will receive further adjuvant chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX), based on the discretion of the treating oncologist/investigator. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) dynamic change status will be analyzed through collection of blood samples throughout different stages of the patient's neoadjuvant treatment regimen (baseline, pre-neoadjuvant therapy, mid-neoadjuvant, post-neoadjuvant therapy, and during postoperative period) as a marker of early read on efficacy. The end of the study for each patient enrolled will be at the 6 month postoperative visit. On Study Protocol: Patients will be followed up for an efficacy follow-up phase during the first 6 months after surgery (week 2 \& months 3, 6 visits). All assessments beyond the 6 month visit will be performed under standard of care surveillance office visits. Off Study Protocol: Thereafter they will enter a survival follow-up phase per standard of care protocols. Patients will be seen every 6 months starting at month 12 until month 36. All collection of research-specific assessments including whole blood, stool collection and quality of life questionnaires will be optional beyond the 6 month postop visit (months 12-36).
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of perioperative dostarlimab compared with standard of care (SOC) in participants with untreated T4N0 or Stage III (resectable), defective mismatch repair/ microsatellite instability high (dMMR/MSI-H) colon cancer.
To goal of this clinical trial is to quantify the dose-response effects of aerobic exercise training compared to attention control on chemotherapy relative dose intensity in colon cancer survivors.
This is a Phase II, single arm study looking at the rate of major clinical response and non-operative management in Stage II and III colon cancer after 18 weeks (up to 6 cycles) of neoadjuvant dostarlimab.
This research study is comparing two standard of care treatment options based on blood test results for participants who have metastatic colon cancer. The names of the potential treatments involved in this study are: * Active surveillance * FOLFIRI treatment * Nivolumab treatment * Encorafenib/Binimetinib/Cetuximab treatment * Trastuzumab + Pertuzumab
