Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

Tamoxifen is a classical treatment for breast metastatic cancer after 3rd generation anti-aromatase hormonotherapy in adjuvant or in metastatic line. The Tamoxifen efficacy is lowered by the hormonoresistance mechanisms due to the primary use of the anti-aromatases. The Pi3K-AKT-mTor pathway is frequently associated to the hormonoresistance mechanisms. This study is aimed to check if the inhibition of this signal transduction pathway by a synthetic mTor inhibitor (Everolimus) could improve the efficacy of the Tamoxifen.

The goal of this Phase 1 clinical research study is to find the highest safe dose of BIND-014 that can be given in the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic cancer.

Participants in this single-center, open-label, dose-escalation, Phase 1 study will initially receive intravenous (IV) olaratumab once every 2 weeks or on Days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks for 6 weeks (one cycle). After the first cycle, participants experiencing an overall response of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) will continue to receive olaratumab at their cohort dose and schedule until there is evidence of progressive disease (PD), or until other withdrawal criteria are met.

Patients that have had staging studies identifying them as AJCC stage IV with up to five liver metastases will be considered for the study. About 60 patients will take part in this study at UT southwestern, Parkland Health & Hospital System, and Methodist Richardson Cancer Center. There are four dose cohorts for this study and each cohort will enroll a minimum of 7 to a maximum of 15 patients depending on tolerance of therapy. The treatment period will last for approximately 1 day and the follow-up portion of the study will last 5 years.

This phase I study proposes the use of systemic thiosulfate rescue to allow supradose intra-arterial cisplatin delivery to lung tumors. Eligible patients would be those with at least one lung lesion large enough of characterize angiographically. All patients will first undergo a CT arteriogram of the target tumor. Patients will then receive 2 treatments on 2 consecutive weeks. The primary endpoint will be toxicity, with secondary endpoint of response as measured on week 4. This pilot study will also determine how technically feasible it is to locate the blood supply to these tumors and deliver cisplatin. If the first 6 patients do well, 6 additional patients will be accrued for a total of 12.

Study JWAA is a multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label, dose-escalation Phase 1 study of oral LY2780301 in patients with advanced solid tumors.

This study is an open label prospective trial of TheraSphere treatment for patients who have liver metastases who have failed or are intolerant to other systemic or liver directed therapies. Patients will be treated with TheraSphere at doses of 120 ± 10% Gy, and then followed for time to progression (TTP), safety, and overall survival.

This study is a comparison of the efficacy and safety of paricalcitol injection with maxacalcitol injection in adult Japanese chronic kidney disease patients receiving hemodialysis with secondary hyperparathyroidism. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of paricalcitol injection in reducing levels of parathyroid hormone without clinically significant hypercalcemia, compared to maxacalcitol injection.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of 2B3-101 both as single agent and in combination with trastuzumab. Furthermore, the study will explore the preliminary antitumor activity of 2B3-101 as single agent in patients with with solid tumors and brain metastases or recurrent malignant glioma as well as in patients with various forms of breast cancer with and in combination with trastuzumab in HER2+ breast cancer patients with brain metastases.

The purpose of this study is to collect data on the safety and potential effectiveness of 2nd generation designer T cells delivered into the hepatic circulation in patients with liver metastases expressing the CEA tumor marker. Designer T cells are prepared by collecting white blood cells from the participant, and then modifying these cells in the laboratory so that they recognize the tumor antigen, CEA. These modified cells are then given back into the participant so that they can attack and kill tumor cells. The investigators hypothesize that regional delivery of the designer T cells directly into the hepatic artery will minimize systemic toxicity and optimize the changes for therapeutic effect.
