Monoclonal Antibody Therapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trials Resources presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't meant to be a substitute for qualified health advice, visits or professional assistance with a real medical. We aren't doctors. Always consult your mD about Monoclonal Antibody Therapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Monoclonal Antibody Therapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer Clinical research trials and Monoclonal Antibody Therapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer health trials occur in a lot of of places throughout the United States of America. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials typically assess the effectivity of new does drugs. The role of the studies / projects is to resolve certain human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to detect remedies for all varieties of circumstances, such as Monoclonal Antibody Therapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer. Monoclonal Antibody Therapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to obtain health treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Most times the human subjects recieve professional assistance for free of charge, and every now and again they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Monoclonal Antibody Therapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer clinical trial. Human subjects frequently get the finest healthcare available for their Monoclonal Antibody Therapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer condition. Risks are a reality, however, and may include extra or frequent physician visits, medical dangers (possibly life-threatening), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with strict guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Monoclonal Antibody Therapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer
For Condition: recurrent colon cancer,recurrent rectal cancer
Status: No longer recruiting
Sponsor(s): Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody therapy in treating patients who have advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to irinotecan.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine the recommended phase II dose of monoclonal antibody anti-anb3 integrin in patients with irinotecan-refractory advanced colorectal cancer. - Determine the safety and tolerance of this drug in these patients. - Determine any antitumor activity of this drug in these patients. - Determine the objective response rate, response duration, and time to progression in patients treated with this drug. - Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study. Patients receive monoclonal antibody anti-anb3 integrin IV over 30 minutes once weekly on weeks 1-52 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with responding disease may continue therapy. Cohort of 4-6 patients receive escalating doses of monoclonal antibody anti-anb3 integrin until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 4 or 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, additional patients are treated at that dose in the phase II portion of the study. Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 4-24 patients will be accrued for phase I of this study and a total of 40 patients will be accrued for phase II of this study.
Eligibility:
