Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is a complication of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The incidence of LM in NSCLC patients is around 3-5 %, reaching 9.4 % of those with an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation. Generally, the efficacy of systemic treatment for LM is limited due to the blood-brain barrier. Osimertinib has a high central nervous system penetration rate, making it the preferred first-line treatment for EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Previous studies indicated that osimertinib had shown promising efficacy in pretreated patients harboring EGFR mutations and LM. However, intracranial disease progression eventually develops, and the prognosis of patients with LM progression after osimertinib is poor. Recently, intrathecal chemotherapy with pemetrexed (IP) was reported to be an alternative treatment in patients with NSCLC and LM. The results from a phase I/II trial examining the efficacy and safety of IP in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC after the failure of previous TKI, and 83% of study enrollees received osimertinib before IP. The clinical response rate was 84.6%, and the median overall survival was 9.0 months. Despite initial promising efficacy, further trials are needed to verify these results. Therefore, the investigators plan to conduct a prospective study to examine the safety and effectiveness of IP combined with EGFR-TKI for patients with EGFR mutant NSCLC after osimertinib failure.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of tucatinib and capecitabine in combination with intra-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) trastuzumab on overall survival rate at 12 months in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients with proven leptomeningeal evolution and requiring intrathecal therapy.

This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled, prospective clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Huaier Granules in patients with advanced breast cancer without visceral metastasis.

This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of SPH4336 in combination with endocrine therapy in breast cancer Patients with brain metastases.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine complete remission rate of a novel combination induction chemotherapy treatment based upon 20 patients with newly diagnosed secondary AML.

Palliative radiotherapy is an effective treatment for patients with painful bone metastases. Standard workflows often involve long waiting times or multiple visits. Fast palliation completed during a single clinic visit can be achieved by omitting a planning CT scan, and using available diagnostic imaging for treatment planning. The adaptive treatment platforms provides the possibility to adapt positions differences between the diagnostic CT and radiotherapy treatment of the target and organs at risk. In this study, the investigators will investigate the experiences of patients who have been treated with this fast-adaptive workflow (FAST-METS) using 2 questionnaires.

The next generation of personalized medical treatment according to the type of personal genetic information are evolving rapidly. The genome analysis needs systematic infra and database based on personal genetic information. Therefore, a big data of genome-clinical information is important. To determine the feasibility of the use of tumor's molecular profiling and targeted therapies in the treatment of advanced cancer and to determine the clinical outcome(Response rate,PFS, duration of response and overall survival )of patients with advanced cancer, the investigators are going to take a tumor tissue of patients and process molecular profiling and receive molecular profile directed treatments.

The objective of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of the mesoglycan (Prisma®), compared to placebo, in reducing the incidence of thromboembolic complications (relapse / extension of superficial venous thrombosis (SVT), deep venous thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE)) in patients who have completed the cycle of therapy of the acute phase after superficial vein thrombosis.

In this study the characteristics and alterations of the gut microbiome during chemotherapy for metastasized or irresectable CRC are studied, as well as the relation between the gut microbiome and the effects of chemotherapy.

Main Goal : evaluation of quality of life for patient having a brain metastasis and allowed to have either surgery and radiosurgery of the surgical site or only hypofractionned radiosurgery on the lesion. second objectives : evaluation of the local control of the disease evaluation of the overall survival interval without progression evaluation of the medico economic performance of each treatment protocol neuro cognitive evaluation at the end of the protocol
