Summary: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the Western world. Overall survival (OS) remains poor, with 50% estimated 5-year survival. In Italy, current estimates indicate that in 2020 a number of 43.700 patients have been affected by colorectal cancer, with an increasing of diagnosed cases in both men and women. It is clear that it is worthwhile to investigate t...

Summary: This phase I/II trial evaluates the highest safe dose, side effects, and possible benefits of tegavivint in treating patients with solid tumors that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Tegavivint interferes with the binding of beta-catenin to TBL1, which may help stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the signals passed from one molecule to another inside a...

Summary: The investigators will evaluate the feasibility of an intervention to improve Lynch syndrome cascade screening uptake. The investigators will conduct a pilot study among 15 patients diagnosed with Lynch Syndrome and 5 genetic counselors to assess the feasibility and intermediate outcomes of an educational workbook containing exercises and resources to improve family communication among individuals...

Summary: A complete family history (FH) may identify persons at high risk for certain conditions. They can be offered genetic testing and life-saving screening and treatment. In practice, complete FH is rarely collected or entered into the electronic medical record (EMR). The Family History Screening Questionnaire is a survey patients complete to tell whether they are at increased risk of specific cancers,...

Summary: The primary objective in Phase I is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ESG401 as a single agent administered in 21-day treatment cycles in previously treated participants with advanced epithelial cancer. In Phase II, the primary objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ESG401 administered in 21-day treatment cycles at a dose selected in Phase I.~Tumor types in the study will inc...

Summary: This study, ELU- FRα-1, is focused on adult subjects who have advanced, recurrent or refractory folate receptor alpha (FRα) overexpressing tumors considered to be topoisomerase 1 inhibitor-sensitive based on scientific literature, and, in the opinion of the Investigator, have no other meaningful life-prolonging therapy options available.~ELU001 is a new chemical entity described as a C'Dot drug co...

Summary: This clinical trial implements a communication intervention to improve patient-oncologist communication in the outpatient medical oncology setting. A communication brochure called the ASQ brochure may help patients prepare for the doctor visit by thinking through the questions that patients and patients' family want to ask the doctor.

Summary: This study learns if depression, anxiety, and catastrophizing (thought patterns that prompt people to expect the worst) are associated with chronic pain after surgery among patients who are scheduled to have cytoreductive surgery with intraoperative hyperthermic chemotherapy. Information from this study may improve the understanding of persistent and chronic postsurgical pain integrating multiple ...

Summary: At present, the families of cancer patients are lack knowledge and experience of nutritional care after discharge. As a result, cancer patients often suffer from low nutritional status after being discharged from the hospital.

Summary: Data from a prior phase II study of single agent cabozantinib in metastatic, refractory colorectal cancer (NCT03542877) combined with the compelling preclinical data in colorectal mouse models utilizing cabozantinib combined with nivolumab have led to this concept for a clinical trial to combine cabozantinib and nivolumab in patients with metastatic MSS CRC in the third line setting and beyond.

Summary: This clinical trial studies if enhanced outpatient symptom management with telemedicine and remote monitoring can help reduce acute care visit due to chemotherapy-related adverse events. Receiving telemedicine and remote monitoring may help patients have better outcomes (such as fewer avoidable emergency room visits and hospitalizations, better quality of life, fewer symptoms, and fewer treatment ...

Summary: This study reviews post study clinical endoscopy reports in follow up to patients who participated in MAY2016-07-01 with weekly erlotinib for familial adenomatous polyposis. Reviewing follow up medical records may help researchers examine the extent of rapid progression of familiar adenomatous polyposis disease burden after discontinuation of weekly erlotinib.
