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
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 clinical trial develops and tests a mobile health (mHealth) intervention to improve adherence to lifestyle recommendations in colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors and their family caregivers. The current challenge for cancer survivorship is identifying novel approaches to help adhere to the lifestyle recommendations that have been shown to improve symptom burden, health outcomes, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The development of a digital health intervention specifically for CRC survivors and family caregivers may improve adherence to the American Cancer Society Nutrition and Physical Activity Guideline for Cancer Survivors and improve family health.
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 dose escalation phase of this trial identifies the safety, side effects and best dose of ceralasertib (AZD6738) when given in combination with trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201a) in treating patients with solid tumors that have a change (mutation) in the HER2 gene or protein and have spread to other places in the body (advanced). The dose expansion phase (phase Ib) of this trial compares how colorectal and gastroesophageal cancers with HER2 mutation respond to treatment with a combination of ceralasertib and trastuzumab deruxtecan versus trastuzumab deruxtecan alone. Ceralasertib may stop the growth of tumor cells and may kill them by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Trastuzumab deruxtecan is a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called deruxtecan. Trastuzumab attaches to HER2 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers deruxtecan to kill them. Ceralasertib and trastuzumab deruxtecan may be safe, tolerable and effective in treating patients with advanced solid tumors expressing the HER2 protein or gene.
