A Phase III Study of the Impact of a Physical Activity Program on Disease-Free Survival in Patients with High Risk Stage II or Stage III Colon Cancer: A Randomized Controlled Trial (CHALLENGE).

The purpose of this study is to compare the disease-free survival of patients involved in a physical activity program (designed to increase physical activity participation) who also receive general health education materials (about diet and physical activity) to patients who receive the general health education materials only. This study is being done because, as of yet, there is no conclusive evidence that physical activity will decrease the likelihood of colon cancer recurrence. This study will also obtain important information about the impact of physical activity on patients' physical functioning, body composition, quality of life, fatigue, mood, cytokines and the insulin pathway, and their influence on prognosis, as well as cost-effectiveness.

Complexity Level: 3

Eligibility: Medically fit colon cancer patients (high risk stage II and stage III) who have completed adjuvant chemotherapy within the past 60-180 days. Current physical activity levels must not meet the recommended guidelines (>=150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous or >=75 minutes of vigorous exercise/week). Following registration, and prior to randomization, patients must successfully complete at least two stages of a submaximal exercise test to ensure they are able to safely exercise at a moderate to vigorous intensity.

Objectives: Primary Objective: Disease free survival (DFS) Secondary objectives: 1. To compare the two intervention arms with respect to: - Quality of Life (QOL) - Objective markers of physical fitness - Physical activity behaviour - Overall survival (OS) - Serum levels of insulin, IGF-1, IGF-2 and IGFBP3 - Cytokine levels - Economic evaluations including cost effective and cost-utility analyses - Predictors of physical activity adherence 2. To compare the following evaluations in all randomized patients to assess for potential associations - Molecular markers with DFS, OS, level of physical activity and level of fatigue - Age, gender, country, incremental increase in physical activity and change in aerobic fitness with DFS, OS, level of fatigue and QOL 3. To establish a comprehensive specimen bank linked to a clinical database for the further study of molecular markers in colon cancer

A Phase III, Randomised, International Trial Comparing mFOLFIRINOX Triplet Chemotherapy to mFOLFOX for high Risk Stage III Colon Cancer in Adjuvant Setting

The purpose of this study is to find out whether standard treatment with mFOLFOX (combination of 3 drugs: 5-fluorouricil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin) or a different combination treatment called mFOLFIRINOX (combination of 4 drugs: 5-fluorouricil, leucovorin, irinotecan and oxaliplatin) is better at preventing high-risk stage III colon cancer that has been surgically removed from coming back. To do this, half of the patients in this study will get mFOLFOX and the other half will receive mFOLFIRINOX. You will know what treatment you will get and both treatments last approximately 6 months.

NEOadjuvant Chemotherapy, Excision and Observation for Early Rectal Cancer: The NEO Trial

The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of chemotherapy followed by less invasive surgery on participants with early rectal cancer. The standard or usual treatment for this disease is to remove the whole rectum by surgery, including the tumour and lymph nodes in the area. Complications after this type of surgery are common. Less invasive surgery removes the tumour but does not remove all the lymph nodes. Chemotherapy given before the less invasive surgery would treat tumour that has spread to lymph nodes in the area. It can also help prevent the cancer from spreading further. This study uses a combination of three drugs (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaliplatin) called FOLFOX or a combination of two drugs (capecitabine and oxaliplatin) called CAPOX. The approach of this trial will be considered a success if at least 65% of participants are able to keep the rectum.

A Randomized Phase II/III Trial of Preoperative Chemoradiotherapy versus Preoperative Chemotherapy For Resectable Gastric Cancer (TOPGEAR)

This study will see if the addition of pre-operative chemoradiotherapy prior to surgery to the standard pre-operative chemotherapy, surgery and post-operative chemotherapy improves response rates and overall survival. You may be eligible for this trial if you aged >=18 years and have been diagnosed with esophago-gastric cancer which, in the opinion of your doctor, can be completely removed by surgery. Participants in this trial will be randomly (by chance) allocated to one of two groups. Patients randomised to Group 1 will receive 3-4 cycles or pre-operative chemotherapy. Patients randomised to Group 2 will receive 2-3 cycles of pre-operative chemotherapy, then will have a 2-4 week break before chemoradiotherapy. Surgery for both groups should be performed within 6 weeks of the end of the last pre-op cycle. About 4-10 weeks after surgery, patients will receive 3-4 more cycles of chemotherapy.

Phase III Study of Palliative Radiotherapy for Symptomatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Liver Metastases

Primary liver cancer (i.e. hepatocellular carcinoma) and secondary liver cancer (i.e. metastases that have spread to the liver from another primary cancer site such as colon cancer or breast cancer) are most often not treatable with surgery or other local therapies. When the cancer grows to involve most of the liver, it can cause pain that can be difficult to control and may reduce a patient's quality of life. This clinical trial aims to test whether low dose radiation therapy improves pain in patients with liver cancer who are not candidates for standard cancer therapies.

 Read More


Complexity Level: 2

Eligibility: Key eligibility criteria include diffuse, multifocal or locally advanced cancer involving the liver. Patients must be unsuitable for standard local, regional or systemic therapy, ECOG PS 0-3, Child Pugh not greater than C10, liver enzymes <10X ULN, and expected survival >3 months. In the 7 days prior to randomization, patients must have no significant change (range of 3 points is allowable) in pain score as measured over 2 days. All patients will receive best supportive care, and it is recommended that this include a palliative care or pain specialist assessment prior to randomization, when available.

Objectives: The primary objective is to determine if patients with symptomatic liver tumours (either HCC or liver metastases) who undergo BSC plus a single 8 Gy fraction of radiation therapy to the liver experience a significant improvement in symptoms (defined as a >\= 2 point decrease in their pain "intensity at worst" score on the BPI) from baseline to 30 days as compared to patients receiving BSC alone. The secondary objectives are to compare the two treatment arms with respect to (1) proportion of patients experiencing grade >/= 2 adverse events at 30 days and 90 days, (2) proportion of patients alive at 90 days, (3) proportion of patients achieving improvement of liver cancer pain/discomfort by >\= 2 points from baseline to day 30 and day 90 in all BPI pain scores, (4) Proportion of patients reporting clinically significant improvement in QoL from bassline to day 30 and day 90, and (5) Proportion of patients achieving a 25% reduction in opioid use at 30 days.

A Randomized Phase III Trial of Combinations of Oxaliplatin (OXAL), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and Irinotecan (CPT-11) as Initial Treatment of Patients with Advanced Adenocarcinoma of the Colon and Rectum

 Read More


Eligibility: Known locally advanced, locally recurrent or metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma not curable by surgery or amenable to radiation therapy with curative intent or previously treated for advanced disease.

Objectives: To compare the time to progression in patients with locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer (previously untreated for advanced disease) who receive OXAL + 5FU + CF or CPT-11 + OXAL (the two experimental regimens) to those receiving CPT-11 + 5-FU + CF (the control regimen). A secondary objective of this trial is to compare the time to progression of the patients receiving the two experimental regimens. Evaluation will be done of toxicity, response rate, time to treatment failure, survival, and quality-of-life parameters in patients on these regimens.

 Read More


Eligibility: Pathologically documented Stage II pT3N0 or pT4bN0 (Modified Astler-Coller B2) colon adenocarcinoma. Complete, en bloc resection of all of the primary tumour, performed as an open procedure and not laparoscopically or laparoscopically assisted. No evidence of perforation or clinical obstruction of the bowel. The gross distal margin of the primary tumour must lie above the peritoneal reflection (i.e. it must be a colon, not a rectal cancer). No previous radiation or chemotherapy for this malignancy. Age > 18 years. CALGB performance status 0 - 1. No current corticosteroid therapy for any reason. No prior exposure to murine antibodies. No uncontrolled or severe cardiovascular disease. No history of pancreatitis. Non-pregnant and non-lactating. No previous or concurrent malignancy.

Objectives: To determine whether adjuvant treatment with MoAb 17-A will improve the probability of overall and disease-free survival, and increase disease-free intervals in patients who have undergone resection of a stage II (pT3N0 or pT4bN0) colon cancer. To evaluate a panel of prognostic markers, in order to correlate these measures with survival and recurrence after adjuvant therapy in patients who have undergone resection of a Stage II (pT3N0 or pT4bN0) colon cancer.

Phase III Adjuvant Trial In Pancreatic Cancer Comparing (1) 5FU And D-L Folinic Acid Vs (2) Gemcitabine Vs (3) No Adjuvant Treatment

 Read More


Complexity Level: 2

Eligibility: Eligible patients have undergone complete macroscopic resection for ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas (R0 or R1 resection). Patients may also be included who have had complete macroscopic resection for ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas (R0 or R1 resection) and (R0 or R1 resection)for(i) unusual malignancies of the pancreas such as ascinar cell carcinoma, cystadenocarcinoma, etc.; (ii) cancers of the periampullary region; (iii) cancers of the intra-pancreatic part of the bile duct; (iv) periampullary cancers of uncertain origin.

Objectives: This adjuvant study will test two hypotheses in a three arm study. A) Does either adjuvant gemcitabine or 5FU + folinic acid improve survival compared to no additional treatment following resection of pancreatic cancer. B) Is there any difference between gemcitabine and 5FU + folinic acid in terms of survival when used as adjuvant therapy following resection of pancreatic cancer. The primary endpoint is 2-year survival. Secondary endpoints will be toxicity, quality of life, and 5-year survival.

A Randomized Placebo Controlled Study of OSI-774 Plus Gemcitabine in Patients with Locally Advanced, Unresectable or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

 Read More


Eligibility: Patients with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas who have received no prior chemotherapy other than 5FU (plus/ minus folinic acid) or gemcitabine given concurrently with radiation treatment as a radiosensitiser. Patients must have evidence of disease, but measureable disease is not mandatory.

Objectives: The primary objective of the study is to compare the survival of patients in the two treatment groups, gemcitabine plus OSI-774 and gemcitabine plus placebo. Secondary objectives include comparison between the two groups of progression-free survival; quality of life; response rate; response duration; and toxicities. Further secondary objectives are to correlate the expression of tissue EGFR levels (at diagnosis) with outcomes and response to treatment, and to measure trough levels of OSI-774 to define population pharmacokinetics.
