Immunotherapy After Surgery in Treating Patients With Breast Cancer, Colon Cancer, or Melanoma Clinical Trials Data presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't meant to be a substitute for qualified health advice, calls or treatment using a genuine doctor. We are not docs. Always consult your dr. on Immunotherapy After Surgery in Treating Patients With Breast Cancer, Colon Cancer, or Melanoma conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Immunotherapy After Surgery in Treating Patients With Breast Cancer, Colon Cancer, or Melanoma Clinical research trials and Immunotherapy After Surgery in Treating Patients With Breast Cancer, Colon Cancer, or Melanoma healthcare trials occur in a lot of of places throughout the United States. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the potency of new drugs. The intent of the studies / undertakings is to figure out certain human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for mDs, government agencies, and private sector corporations to locate remedies for all kinds of circumstances, including Immunotherapy After Surgery in Treating Patients With Breast Cancer, Colon Cancer, or Melanoma. Immunotherapy After Surgery in Treating Patients With Breast Cancer, Colon Cancer, or Melanoma Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to obtain health treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Many times the participants undergo treatment for free, and sometimes they are paid for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Immunotherapy After Surgery in Treating Patients With Breast Cancer, Colon Cancer, or Melanoma clinical trial. Participants typically obtain the most effective healthcare available for their Immunotherapy After Surgery in Treating Patients With Breast Cancer, Colon Cancer, or Melanoma condition. Dangers are a reality, nonetheless, and can include extra or frequent mD trips, medical hazards (potentially life-endangering), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally regulated with rigid guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Immunotherapy After Surgery in Treating Patients With Breast Cancer, Colon Cancer, or Melanoma
For Condition: Breast Cancer,Colon Cancer,Melanoma
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Centro Oncologico de Excelencia ,
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Immunotherapy uses different ways to stimulate the immune system and stop cancer cells from growing. Immunotherapy biological extracts may be useful as adjuvant therapy in treating patients who have had surgery for breast cancer, colon cancer, or melanoma. PURPOSE: Phase III trial to study the effectiveness of Corynebacterium granulosum extract as maintenance immunotherapy following surgery in treating patients with breast cancer, colon cancer, or melanoma.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine the survival of patients with colon cancer, breast cancer, or melanoma with minimal residual disease after surgical resection treated with maintenance immunotherapy using Corynebacterium granulosum P40. - Determine leucocyte adherence inhibition, an indication of metastases, over time in patients treated with this regimen. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified by center and are matched with case-controls by disease type and stage. Beginning 2 weeks after surgical resection, patients receive Corynebacterium granulosum P40 subcutaneously weekly for 6 weeks, followed by rest for 3 months. Treatment continues for life. Patients are followed for survival. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Not specified
