Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

This research study is studying a combination of hormonal therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy as a possible treatment for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with a drug of your physician's choice. This may include leuprolide (Lupron), goserelin acetate (Zoladex), or degarelix (Firmagon). Docetaxel Nivolumab

This trial is a multicenter, open-label, biology driven, phase II study using a sequential Bayesian design, aiming to assess the efficacy and safety of different Matched Targeted Therapy (MTT) in independent and parallel cohorts of treatment. Patients will be assigned to a treatment cohort based on molecular alterations/characteristics detected on tumor sample from primary tumor or metastatic lesion. In this protocol, several MTTs treatment cohorts are planned. This study is designed with the flexibility to open new MTTs treatment cohorts and to close existing MTTs treatment cohorts that demonstrate no clinical benefit. Each treatment cohort will be driven separately even though procedures, quality control and reporting, will be common. The protocol will be amended in order to include new treatments or combinations that emerge as being of interest for patients with advanced/metastatic cancers. All eligible patients will receive study drugs as long as patient experiences clinical benefit in the opinion of the investigator, or until unacceptable toxicity, or until symptomatic deterioration attributed to disease progression as determined by the investigator after an integrated assessment of radiographic data and clinical status, or withdrawal of consent. Patients will be permitted to continue study treatment after progressive disease according to RECIST v1.1 if they meet all of the following criteria and following validation of the Sponsor: Evidence of clinical benefit as assessed by the investigators, Absence of symptoms and signs (including worsening of laboratory values; e.g., new or worsening hypercalcemia) that indicate unequivocal progression of disease, No decline in ECOG Performance Status (PS) that can be attributed to disease progression.

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a commonly used treatment for brain tumors. It is a one-day (or in some cases two day), out-patient procedure during which a high dose of radiation is delivered to small spots in the brain while excluding the surrounding normal brain. Whole brain radiation therapy with hippocampal avoidance (HA-WBRT) is when radiation therapy is given to the whole brain, while trying to decrease the amount of radiation that is delivered to the area of the hippocampus. The hippocampus is a brain structure that is important for memory. Memantine is a drug that is given to help relieve symptoms that can be caused by WBRT, including problems with memory and other mental symptoms. Health Canada, the regulatory body that oversees the use of drugs in Canada, has not approved the sale or use of memantine in combination with WBRT to treat this kind of cancer, although they have allowed its use in this study.

This protocol is for a lead-in safety study of 5 patients followed by a randomized Phase 2 clinical trial of BMX-001, a new class of pharmaceutical, in 64 patients with multiple brain metastases (MBM) undergoing whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT). Preliminary studies have demonstrated that BMX-001 provides protection of normal tissues from radiation-induced injury and augments tumor growth inhibition.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of edetate calcium disodium or succimer in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome undergoing chemotherapy. Edetate calcium disodium or succimer may help to lower the level of metals found in the bone marrow and blood and may help to control the disease and/or improve response to chemotherapy.

This research is being done to see if a delivery of a single high dose of radiation therapy to a small area of the pituitary gland and pituitary stalk in a highly precise manner may be helpful in reducing intractable pain from bone metastases.

Background: Many people with colorectal cancer get liver metastases. Standard treatment for this is a combination of chemotherapy drugs. Directing the chemotherapy to the liver may be effective. A device that does this a pump that delivers drugs over 2 weeks at constant rate into the hepatic artery. The person s body temperature causes the drug to flow from the pump. Researchers want to see if this helps people with colorectal metastases to the liver. Objective: To study the effectiveness of a hepatic artery infusion pump at treating colorectal metastases to the liver. Eligibility: Adults at least 18 years old with colorectal metastases to the liver Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Heart, blood, and urine tests Scans Participants will stay in the hospital a few days. A small plastic tube (catheter) will be inserted in an artery into the liver. The catheter will be attached to the pump. That will lie under the skin on the abdomen. It will be small and participants will be able to feel it. Participants will get treatment in 28-day cycles. Every Day 1, they will have physical exam, symptom review, and blood tests. Every 2 weeks, they will come to the clinic to get chemotherapy by a catheter or port. Every 12 weeks, they will have a scan. Tissue samples may be taken during the study. When they finish the drug, participants may have the pump removed. They will repeat the Day 1 tests. They will be called every 6 months to see how they are doing.

A unique approach for cancer treatment employing intratumoral diffusing alpha radiation emitter device for newly Diagnosed Breast Carcinoma patients with distant metastases

To examine survival of patients who underwent minimally invasive versus open liver resection for colorectal cancer with liver metastases.
