Active clinical trials for "Bone Neoplasms"

A non-fission sourced, solvent generator produced 99mTc intravenous injection, as 99mTc -MDP, is to be used as a bone scan diagnostic radiopharmaceutical for assessment of bone pathology using the same oncologic indications as nuclear reactor sourced 99mTc, as 99mTc-MDP.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether tanezumab is effective in the treatment of cancer pain due to bone metastasis in patients already taking background opioid therapy.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if 1 large dose of radiation therapy is better at controlling pain from cancer that has spread to the bones than 10 smaller doses of radiation. Researchers also want to learn if 1 large dose of radiation therapy can help decrease the use of drugs to control the pain, and if it can help to control the disease.

This study will evaluate zoledronic acid's anti-cancer effects and Circulating Tumor Cell (CTCs) measurements in patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer without bone metastasis.

This single arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of loading doses of intravenous Bondronat in patients with breast cancer and malignant bone disease experiencing moderate to severe bone pain. Patients will receive an intravenous infusion of 6mg Bondronat on days 1, 2 and 3. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3 months, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of dasatinib and Zometa (zoledronic acid) that can be given in combination for the treatment of breast cancer that has spread to the bone. The safety and effectiveness of this combination will also be studied.

Study to determine effectiveness and safety of zoledronic acid and whether it has a pharmaco-economic impact in prostate cancer with bone metastasis.

To assess the safety and efficacy of a single fraction of radiotherapy using helical tomotherapy to treat bone metastases.

The aim of the present observational study is to evaluate and describe the evolution over time of the fatigue and the quality of life of patients with bone tumor, in Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute, Chemotherapy ward, during the chemotherapy treatment and in the first phase of follow-up and to identify possible prognostic factors. Such knowledge is a necessary precondition for identifying patients and the periods most at risk due to the onset of fatigue, so as to be able to hypothesize adequate containment strategies.

The goal of this study is to improve how we estimate survival of people with cancer that has spread to their bone. There have been previous attempts to estimate survival of people with cancer that spread to the bone, but they have not been accurate. This study will try to improve the way we estimate survival in people with cancer that has spread to their bone by looking to see if a physician assessment and a patient assessment of the health status can be blended to give a better estimate of survival than patients or doctors alone.
