Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

A unique approach for cancer treatment employing intratumoral diffusing alpha radiation emitter device for Malignant Cutaneous Tumors

This early phase I is to find out how common vitamin D insufficiency is among African American patients with a history of prostate cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body (localized) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) and how vitamin D insufficiency affects the immune system. This study also aims to find out if replacing vitamin D results in normalization of the immune function. Information from this study may benefit prostate cancer patients by identifying vitamin D insufficiency which in several studies had been found to contribute to more aggressive prostate cancers.

The purpose of this research is to combine two complementary modes of treatment, spinal interstitial laser ablation and stereotactic spine radiosurgery (SSRS) for the treatment for spinal tumors near the spinal cord with an objective to improve tumor control, improve pain control, preserve function, and improve quality of life. We will also assess how effective these combined modes of treatment are in patients with spinal metastasis with an epidural component.

The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of toripalimab combined with anlotinib and SBRT for non-driver gene mutation untreated brain metastases non-small Cell Lung Cancer.

A Phase 2 Study of ARX788 in HER2-positive, Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients whose Disease is resistant or refractory to Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI).

The purpose of this research is to look at the safety and effectiveness of a HER2-targeted therapy neratinib when given with capecitabine, a chemotherapy, for breast cancer patients with brain metastases whose tumors were HER2-negative by standard tests but showed abnormal HER2 activity based on the CELsignia results.

The study has 2 parts. The first part is open to adults with different types of advanced cancer (solid tumours with changes in the HER2 gene) for whom previous treatment was not successful. The second part is open to people with non-small cell lung cancer with a specific mutation in the HER2 gene. The purpose of the first study part is to find the highest dose of a medicine called BI 1810631 the participants can tolerate. Once this dose is found, it will be used in the second study part to tests whether BI 1810631 can make tumours shrink. In this study, BI 1810631 is given to people for the first time. Participants take BI 1810631 as tablets once a day or twice a day. The participants are in the study for as long as they benefit from and can tolerate treatment. Study doctors regularly check the participants' health and monitor the tumours. The doctors also take note of any unwanted effects that could have been caused by BI 1810631.

Percutaneous vertebroplasty has been applied widely to treat bone metastases. The injected cement may strengthen the affected bone to prevent pathological fractures and relieve the pain. Moreover, the thermal reaction (70°C) due to polymerisation of cement also contributes to tumour destruction. The cement dose and diffusion pattern may be significant factors for the treatment efficacy, which can be affected by the inner pressure of the metastases. The investigators will apply a rotary cutter to destroy the structure of metastases to alleviate the pressure in the metastases. Then, more cement will be injected, which may effectively interdigitates with the surrounding bone and generate more thermo to kill the tumor cells.

Hypo-fractured radiotherapy in stereotactic conditions (RSHF) of bone metastases allows high doses to be delivered to the affected bone segment while sparing adjacent healthy tissues as well as possible. In addition, it not only reduces pain and prevents spinal cord compression, but also improves long-term control of metastatic disease. Zoledronic acid reduces bone complications. The economic literature shows that stereotactic radiotherapy, like zoledronic acid, are cost-effective strategies in these indications. The objective of this research project is to evaluate the efficiency of adding zoledronic acid to stereotactic radiotherapy in the treatment of vertebral metastases.

The PIPAC NAL-IRI study is designed to examine the maximal tolerated dose of nanoliposomal irinotecan (Nal-IRI, Onivyde) administered with repeated pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC), in a monocentric, phase I trial.
