Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

Patients with recurrent or metastatic solid tumors receive oral vinorelbine at one of three different doses (30 or 40 or 50 mg). Vinorelbine will be administered orally at a metronomic schedule three times a week: on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Randomized, open label, multicentre phase II trial followed by phase III comparing overall survival after having selected the best experimental arm.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether fish oils - a known source of omega-3 given intravenously (via a 'drip') will help cure secondary deposits in the liver from bowel cancer.

This is a phase 3 study to determine the efficacy of VEGF Trap-Eye injected into the eye on vision function in subjects with macular edema as a consequence of central retinal vein occlusion.

Cancers that have spread to the liver from the primary cancer location (liver metastases) that cannot be removed surgically (unresectable) can be treated with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Previous research has shown that tumours often have abnormal blood vessels that may reduce the effect of radiation therapy. New drugs, known as "anti-angiogenic" drugs have been shown in animal and human studies to damage or change tumour blood vessels in ways that may make tumors more sensitive to radiation treatment. 32- 44 Patients diagnosed with unresectable liver metastasis will be invited to take part in this study. The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of a new anti-angiogenic drug called Sorafenib, in combination radiation therapy and chemotherapy. The study will test how effective the new treatment is, the side effects associated with the new treatment, and to help establish safe dosages of the study medication.

The investigators aim to explore the efficacy of [90Y-DOTA]-TOC and [177LuDOTA]-TOC therapy in advanced neuroendocrine cancer. Therefore, the investigators assess response, survival and long-term safety profile of systemic [90Y-DOTA]-TOC and [177LuDOTA]-TOC treatment in metastasized neuroendocrine cancer patients. Adverse events are assessed according to the criteria of the National Cancer Institute. Survival analyses are performed using multiple regression models.

This study is designed to see whether stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) can reduce tumour size, slow progression of the disease, prolong life and improve quality of life. SBRT is concentrated focused radiation therapy delivered very precisely to the liver tumour. Presently, the treatment for unresectable liver metastases from colorectal cancer is most often chemotherapy or novel targeted therapy. These treatments may improve survival, but not control the metastases permanently; so new treatments are needed to control metastases. It is hoped that knowledge obtained from this study will improve our ability to treat patients with liver tumours that cannot be treated with surgery and other methods, and that SBRT may prove to be a treatment that can lead to long-term and permanent control of liver tumours for some patients.

The primary goal of this research study is to determine a safe dose for the drug oxaliplatin when delivered by isolated hepatic perfusion. The second goal of this research study is to determine if isolated hepatic perfusion with oxaliplatin can improve the efficacy of standard hepatic arterial infusional (HAI) therapy with floxuridine (FUDR)/leucovorin.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the investigational radioisotope Radium-223, Xofigo (Alpharadin), in treatment of men with prostate cancer and bone metastases that no longer respond to hormonal treatment.

This is a Phase II study of combined surgical resection for patients with both intra- and extra-hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer. The primary objective is to determine the two-year disease free survival (DFS) of patients who undergo surgical resection of both intra- and extra-hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer. The secondary objectives are to determine the overall survival rate (OS), patterns of treatment failure, treatment efficacy (R0 resection rate), peri-operative morbidity and mortality rates, health related quality of life, and hospital length of stay.
