Clinical Trials for Rectal Cancer

Safety and Efficacy of Brodalumab in the Treatment of Immune-Related Adverse Events: A Pilot Study

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

TrialFetch AI summary: This trial enrolls adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who developed IL-17–mediated immune-related adverse events after immunotherapy and require systemic steroids, testing brodalumab (an IL-17 receptor A inhibitor) as a potential steroid-sparing treatment for irAEs. Patients receive subcutaneous brodalumab alongside a planned steroid taper.

A First in Human Phase I Trial of Binary Oncolytic Adenovirus in Combination With HER2-Specific Autologous CAR T Cells in Patients With Advanced HER2 Positive Solid Tumors

Active drug

Investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity in clinical trials

Started >3 years ago

The trial was activated more than 3 years ago. This is not always bad but can indicate that the trial has less current treatments, or has had trouble getting enough patients to enroll due to other issues.

High burden on patient

The trial has a high burden on patients. An example would be a phase 1 trial with extra tumor biopsies and frequent pharmacokinetic blood draws.

TrialFetch AI summary: Eligible adult patients have advanced, refractory HER2-positive solid tumors with at least one injectable lesion. The trial evaluates safety and preliminary efficacy of intratumoral CAdVEC, an oncolytic adenovirus expressing IL-12 and a PD-L1 blocker, alone or in combination with intravenous HER2-specific autologous CAR T cells at higher dose levels.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04704661

Ablative Dose Single Fraction MRguided Colorectal Liver Metastasis SBRT

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

TrialFetch AI summary: This trial enrolls adults with 1-3 measurable colorectal cancer liver metastases (with specific size/location criteria), ECOG 0-2, and no cirrhosis, including those with prior therapies or extrahepatic disease, to receive a single 40 Gy fraction of MR-guided, adaptive SBRT for local control.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06130280

Pilot Study Evaluating Microbiome Modulation Therapy (MBMT) With Ciprofloxacin, Metronidazole, and Aspirin in Addition to Standard of Care Chemotherapy in Patients Undergoing First-Line Therapy for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

TrialFetch AI summary: Adults with newly diagnosed metastatic (stage IV) colorectal cancer eligible for first-line 5-fluorouracil-based doublet chemotherapy are randomized to standard chemotherapy with or without an investigational microbiome modulation therapy (MBMT) consisting of oral ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and low-dose aspirin, aiming to assess whether altering the gut microbiome improves treatment response. Patients with recent antibiotic use, high bleeding risk, or MBMT drug allergies are excluded.
