XNW27011 Study of Advanced Solid Tumor Subjects Who Failed Standard Therapies.

This is a global, multi-center, open-label, Phase I/II first-in-human study of XNW27011 monotherapy as an investigational product (IP) in patients with locally advanced and/or metastatic solid tumors who have failed or are intolerant to standard therapies. XNW27011 is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2), a transmembrane protein important to tight junctions. The study consists of 2 parts: Part 1 is the dose-escalation phase (Phase I), and Part 2 is the does-expansion phase (Phase II). In phase I part of the study, approximately 42 patients with locally advanced and/or metastatic solid tumors will be enrolled, irrespective of CLDN18.2 expression. However, the most recently available tumor tissue specimen will be collected (if available) for a retrospective CLDN18.2 expression confirmation. In phase II part of the study, only patients with confirmed CLDN18.2 expression by IHC in the central laboratory will be enrolled.The phase II part of the study will consist of the following four groups，Up to three dose cohorts for each patient group are planned currently. Each dose cohort will include approximately 20 patients. Approximately 240 patients evaluable will be enrolled in Phase Ⅱ part of the study.

BAL/BOT/agenT-797 in pMMR CRC With Liver Metastases

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether the combination of balstilimab, botensilimab, and agenT-797 is safe and effective in treating adults with previously treated metastatic colorectal cancer that is microsatellite stable (pMMR) and has spread to the liver. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What proportion of participants experience tumor shrinkage (objective response rate) based on imaging assessments? * What side effects occur with this combination treatment, including immune-related and cytokine-related reactions? All participants in this study will receive the combination treatment. There is no comparison group. Participants will: * Receive balstilimab, botensilimab, and agenT-797 in repeating 42-day treatment cycles * Undergo imaging scans (such as CT or MRI) to assess tumor response * Have blood samples collected to monitor safety and evaluate biomarkers * Provide tumor tissue samples for research * Be monitored for side effects throughout the study * Participate in follow-up visits to assess survival after treatment completion

Safety and Activity of PolyPEPI1018 Plus Atezolizumab in Colorectal Cancer.

This is a multicenter, open label, phase II trial to determine the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity and initial clinical activity of the combination treatment of PolyPEPI1018 vaccine and atezolizumab in participants with MSS CRC who have progressed on 2 or 3 prior regimens.

Quality of Life After Cytoreductive Surgery and Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy

Cytoreductive surgery with intraperitoneal chemotherapy is one of the most important treatments for patients with colorectal cancer and peritoneal metastasis. For the best survival rates, complete removal of all metastatic lesions is the most important part of treatment, and various surgical procedures are required for the complete cytoreduction. Therefore, the postoperative morbidity rates are higher than those of localized colon cancer surgeries and patients can experience a prolonged recovery period and deterioration of physical activities over a long period. The aim of this study is to investigate the change of quality of life after cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy for colorectal cancer.

Continuous or Intermittent Cetuximab Plus FOLFIRI as First-line Treatment in RAS/BRAF Wild-type mCRC Patients

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the application of the chemotherapy FOLFIRI and cetuximab works better when given with scheduled breaks or continuously in adults with metastatic colorectal cancer. The main question it aims to answer is, whether worsening of disease after 12 months of treatment is lower when the treatment is given with breaks or given continuously. It will also answer the question whether the quality of life is better and side effects are less if chemotherapy is given with breaks. Additionally, the treatment breaks will be controlled by blood tests and imaging examinations. A novel blood test will be introduced to investigate, whether worsening of the disease might be detected before the imaging, and whether a quicker reaction by re-starting the therapy would help the patients. Participants will: * receive an established chemotherapy mit FOLFIRI and cetuximab * Receive blood tests every 4 weeks and imaging investigations every 12 weeks * fill out questionnaires to report their quality of life

Living Donor Liver Transplant for Unresectable Colorectal Liver Metastases

The goal of this study is to create a data registry to capture clinical, pathologic, and molecular data/outcomes for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who undergo live donor liver transplantation.

SHR-A1904 in Advanced Colorectal Cancer: an Exploratory Study

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of SHR-A1904 in the advanced colorectal cancer after failure of standard therapy

A Phase II Clinical Study of Multimodal Ablation Combined With Systemic Drug Therapy for Advanced Solid Tumors.

This study focuses on the treatment of liver metastases from three common cancers: colorectal cancer, triple-negative breast cancer and melanoma. Currently, there are limitations in the treatment of liver metastases of these cancers. Multimodal thermophysical ablation therapy can reshape the tumor microenvironment, release neoantigens, and act as an in-situ vaccine. On this basis, the combination of multimodal ablation with immunotherapeutic drugs such as pucotenlimab will be explored. The efficacy and safety of this combination therapy in patients with liver metastases of solid tumors will be investigated, with the expectation of breaking through the existing treatment limitations.

Galunisertib Combined With Capecitabine in Advanced CRC With PM

This is a two-center open-label non-randomized proof of principle study consisting of a dose-finding part (phase I) and phase II study with Simon two-stage design investigating the anti-tumor activity of the combination of capecitabine and galunisertib in patients with colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastases.

Registry Platform Colorectal Cancer

The registry aims to collect and analyse information on the antineoplastic treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, treated in palliative intention in daily routine practice in Germany.

Colorectal Metastasis to Liver Extraction With Auxiliary Transplant and Delayed Resection

Liver transplantation (LT) has become an accepted treatment for selected patients with unresectable liver metastases due to colorectal cancer (CRLM). The goal of this study is to look at and compare the clinical results of all the different approved methods (living vs. Deceased, whole organ vs. Split, one staged vs. Two staged) used to perform a standard liver transplant procedure for recipients with CRLM. Investigators will look at things like different procedure results, recovery in the hospital, and survival rates one year after the transplant. Investigators will also take blood samples from participants to be used in future research. All the transplant methods the investigators are comparing are standard practices approved by the United Network of Organ Sharing (UNOS).

Pilot Study of an Implantable Microdevice for In Situ Evaluation of Drug Response in Patients With Colorectal Liver Metastasis

Microdevices have been used to ascertain in vivo drug response, which can lead to improved cancer treatment delivery; however, they have not been evaluated for liver tumors. This is a prospective, phase 1 safety study of percutaneous placement and surgical retrieval of a microdevice in patients with liver metastasis from colorectal cancer. The device will be implanted percutaneously 3-5 days prior to scheduled resection of colorectal liver metastasis (CLM) and then removed en bloc with the tumor. Patients will be monitored to ensure that the device's placement and retrieval does not result in increased complication rates within 14 days of surgery. To assess feasibility, the tissue surrounding the microdevice will be analyzed to assess the diffusion of the drugs from the device into the tissue and whether the therapeutic effect of diffusing chemotherapy +/- immune-modulating drugs has an impact on the surrounding tissue.

Regorafenib and Pembrolizumab in Treating Participants With Advanced or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

This phase I/II studies the side effects and best dose of regorafenib when given together with pembrolizumab in treating participants with colorectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as regorafenib, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving regorafenib and pembrolizumab may work better at treating colorectal cancer.

China Metastatic Liver Cancer Clinical Registry Cohort Database

This study is led by the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), in close collaboration with multiple participating centers nationwide. The primary objective is to establish a standardized, large-scale clinical cohort database specifically for metastatic liver cancer. By collecting comprehensive data on patient demographics, primary tumor characteristics, systemic therapies, and local interventions, this registry aims to elucidate the clinical patterns and prognostic factors of secondary liver malignancies. This database will serve as a robust platform for conducting high-quality real-world studies and advancing evidence-based clinical research in the management of metastatic liver cancer.

Trifluridine/Tipiracil in Combination With Capecitabine and Bevacizumab in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Patients.

The aim oh this study is to determine the safety and recommended dose of trifluridine/tipiracil plus capecitabine and bevacizumab combination (part 1, dose escalation phase) and to assess its activity in previously untreated mCRC patients who are deemed not eligible for intensive chemotherapy (part 2, expansion phase).

Platform Study of Immunotherapy Combinations in Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases

The goal of this clinical trial is to to learn about different combinations of immunotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer whose cancer has spread to their liver and are planning to have surgery to remove tumor metastases from their liver. The main questions it aims to answer are: * whether these combinations of immunotherapy change the tumor microenvironment in the liver * whether these combinations of immunotherapy are safe and effective when used in colorectal cancer with liver metastases Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the following: * Botensilimab and balstilimab * Botensilimab, balstilimab, and AGEN1423 * Botensilimab, balstilimab, and radiation Participants will be asked to come in to receive drug infusions (and radiation, if applicable) before and after their surgical resection. Participants will be followed for up to 2 years.

Technical Feasibility of Modified Early Post-Operative Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (mEPIC)

The goal of this prospective phase II unicentric Canadian clinical trial is to clarify the feasibility of modified early post-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (mEPIC) following cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in the clinical context of peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal and appendicular neoplasms. The primary objective of this study is to confirm the feasibility of mEPIC by evaluating its completion rate compared to the one of historical standard early post-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC) cohorts. The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety of the mEPIC protocol by monitoring adverse events arising during the protocol and to assess logistical implementation barriers for the nursing and Oncology pharmacy teams, respectively. Participants will undergo a modified schedule of EPIC (mEPIC) designed to maximize therapeutic benefit by exploiting the known pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics properties of fluorouracil (5-FU) while limiting the logistical issues of the standard protocol. mEPIC consists in shortening the original protocol from five to two days of postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Additionally, instead of solely administering a singular 5-FU bolus per 24 hours-period, mEPIC is based on the De Gramont intravenous regimen and consists of administering one intraperitoneal bolus of 5-FU (400 mg/m2) followed by a 24 hours-intraperitoneal infusion of 5-FU (1200 mg/m2) on postoperative days 1 and 2.

Radioembolization in Elderly/ Fragile Patients With mCRC

Radioembolization (RE) is a minimally invasive treatment with administration of radioactive microspheres into the hepatic artery via a microcatheter. Since tumors are preferentially supplied by the hepatic artery, most microspheres get trapped in the tumor. RE has been shown a feasible and safe procedure for the treatment of unresectable CRC liver metastases. These data compare favourably with the toxicity data of capecitabine plus bevacizumab, but this should be validated in a prospective study. The proposed study investigates the efficacy of RE as an alternative, better tolerated and more cost-effective treatment option in elderly or frail patients compared to chronic systemic treatment with comparable progression-free survival.

The Efficacy and Safety of IBI351, Cetuximab β Combined With FOLFIRI as First-line /IBI351, Cetuximab β as Second-line in the Treatment of KRAS G12C-mutated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

This is an open-label, multicenter, single-arm Phase II clinical study, divided into subgroups A and B: Cohort A - To evaluate the efficacy and safety of IBI351, cetuximab β combined with FOLFIRI as first-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer with KRAS G12C mutations; Twenty untreated patients with advanced colorectal cancer with KRAS G12C mutation are proposed to be enrolled and treated with the first-line IBI351+ cetuximab β injection +FOLFIRI regimen. The historical reference is expected to be around 40-50%, and it is expected to increase to around 75%. Therefore, among the 20 patients, if ≥15 patients achieve remission, it is considered that the efficacy of the trial protocol is statistically significant. Cohort B - To evaluate the efficacy and safety of BI351 and cetuximab β as second-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer with KRAS G12C mutations. It is proposed to enrolled 30 patients with advanced colorectal cancer with KRAS G12C mutation who have progressed after first-line treatment, and evaluate IBI351+ cetuximab β injection for second-line treatment. The historical reference is around 25%, and it is expected to increase to around 50%. Therefore, among the 30 patients, if ≥15 patients achieve remission, it is considered that the efficacy of the trial protocol is statistically significant. Imaging assessment of tumor remission was conducted every 8 weeks until disease progression. The period from the start of treatment to disease progression is defined as PFS. The safety observation indicators include: the incidence and severity of adverse events (AE) and serious adverse events (SAE); Laboratory tests, vital signs, physical examinations, and changes in electrocardiogram (ECG). Record the subsequent tumor treatment and survival follow-up after the progression. Definition of study conclusion: The study will conclude after the last subject has been treated for 2 years or has completed the treatment (whichever occurs first).

A Study of VS-6766 and Cetuximab in Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer

Doctors leading this study hope to learn about the safety of combining the study drug VS-6766 with another drug called cetuximab in colorectal cancer. This study is for individuals who have advanced colorectal cancer and their cancer has progressed while getting previous treatment or individuals who cannot take/tolerate previous treatments. If you choose to participate, your time in this research will last up to 24 months.

In Vivo Lung Perfusion (IVLP) for Colorectal Cancer Metastatic to Lung

This study is investigating a new technique for delivering chemotherapy directly into the lungs at the time of surgery. Delivering chemotherapy directly to the lungs could potentially kill any microscopic cancer cells that are present in the lungs at the time of surgery, while sparing other major organs in the body from the side effects of chemotherapy. This technique is called In Vivo Lung Perfusion (IVLP). At the University Health Network, this IVLP technique has been used recently in a Phase I study in patients with sarcoma, and we are now expanding on that experience to include patients with colorectal metastases. The purpose of this study is to test the safety of the IVLP technique and find the dose that seems right in humans. Participants are given oxaliplatin into one lung via IVLP and are watched very closely to see what side effects they have and to make sure the side effects are not severe. If the side effects are not severe, then more participants are asked to join the study and are given a higher dose of oxaliplatin. Participants joining the study later on will get higher doses of oxaliplatin than participants who join earlier. This will continue until a dose is found that causes severe but temporary side effects. Doses higher than that will not be given. The other lung will not be infused with anything, so that we can limit unforeseen toxicity to a single lung and see if one lung does better than the other.

TL938 and Trastuzumab for Patients With HER2-positive Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

This is a Phase II trial designed to determine the optimal dose and evaluate the effectiveness of TL938 and trastuzumab in treating patients with HER2+ colorectal cancer that has metastasized or recurred and is inoperable.

Assessing How Normal Variations in CT Scanning Affects Its Interpretation

The purpose of the study is to see how measurements of tumor differences vary with slight changes in CT scan parameters. Reproducible radiomic features can be extracted for abdominal tumors, and specifically colorectal liver metastases, imaged with clinical CT scanners even in the setting of variable scan parameters and variable contrast timing. Participants will be consented to undergo an additional CT of their abdomen.
