Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

Brain metastases (BM) are the most prevalent tumors of the central nervous system (CNS), with a ratio of 10: 1 in relation to primary tumors. In prospective studies, whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) reduced the risk of local recurrence after resection of brain metastases from 46-59% to 10-28%. Furthermore, WBRT reduces the incidence of new metastases and death from disease, but no apparent improvement in overall survival (OS). Due to the potential neurocognitive effects associated with WBRT compared to isolated focal approach, several authors have suggested delaying WBRT and perform focal adjuvant RT after resection of isolated BM. In this context, intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) in the cavity after resection of BM may be an appealing option. The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate local control (LC) and the control of brain disease (LC associated with the absence of new distant BM) after IORT for one completely resected supratentorial BM in the presence of up to 10 lesions suggestive of BM.

This study was being conducted to advance new treatment for patients with metastatic or locally advanced cancers expressing Neurotensin receptor 1 (NTSR1). This study was a first administration of a radioactive drug called 177Lu-3BP-227 to patients under controlled conditions of a clinical study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how safe this investigational drug is as well to verify how well it is tolerated by patients after several intravenous administrations. In addition, the effect of the study drug on tumoral lesions and how it distributes throughout the body and at which rate it is removed from the body was evaluated. Since 177Lu-3BP-227 is a radio-labelled drug, it will also be measured how the emitted radiation is distributed throughout the body (dosimetry). The study consisted of a phase I dose escalation part. The study originally planned to include a phase II study however due to early termination (not due to safety concerns) the study did not progress to phase II and was stopped during phase I. For the phase I dose escalation part, it was anticipated that approximately 30 subjects will be included, in up to six escalation steps. No expansion cohorts were implemented.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of an aggressive multimodal approach among patients with stage IV pancreatic cancer (PAC) with isolated, low-volume hepatic metastasis (LVHM). We will evaluate and describe the surgical and overall outcomes of an initial cohort of subjects who undergo pancreatectomy and hepatic resection/ablation for PAC with LVHM. The end of study results will be reviewed by the Hepatiobiliary Multidisciplinary Conference (HDMC) and Surgery Audit Committee (SAC) to determine the appropriateness of adding this treatment arm for patients with oligometastatic metastatic pancreatic cancer.

This is a Phase 1 study of E6201 plus dabrafenib for the treatment of CNS metastases in BRAF V600-mutated metastatic melanoma. A total of up to N=28-34 subjects with melanoma metastasized to the CNS will be included.

The purpose of this study is to learn whether the profile of RNA from circulating exosomes can be used as a biomarker for lung metastases of primary high-grade osteosarcoma. Circulating exosomes plays roles in metastases in many kinds of cancer including osteosarcoma. By RNA profiling researchers may find lung metastases earlier than conventional work-up and predict the oncological outcomes.

The prognosis of patients with unresectable peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer is poor. These patients may obtain survival benefit from radical gastrectomy and cytoreductive surgery (CRS). The response rates of previous conversion therapy are low. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC) and systemic chemotherapy are effective methods of reducing peritoneal cancer index (PCI) levels. Apatinib, a novel targeted inhibitor of VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2), shows significant antitumor activity in the patients with gastric cancer. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of HIPEC and systemic chemotherapy combined with Apatinib in the conversion therapy of peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer.

This is a phase II, open label, non-randomised study of vemurafenib and cobimetinib after radiosurgery in adult patients with BRAFV600-mutant melanoma brain metastases. All patients will receive vemurafenib 960 mg twice a day on days 1 - 28 combined with cobimetinib 60 mg once a day on days 1 - 21 of each 28-day treatment cycle until disease progression, drug toxicity or death. The primary objective of this study is to determine the best overall response rate (BORR) in the brain. The extracranial BORR, intra- and extracranial duration of response, progression-free survival and overall survival, adverse events, quality of life and radiomics features predicting long-term local control of brain metastases and treatment-related toxicity will also be examined.

During this open label study patients will receive IMM-101 in conjunction with a recognised standard of care for metastatic or unresectable cancer for the patient's specific tumour type. The primary objective of the study is to provide safety data for IMM-101 in combination with a number of selected standard of care regimens.

This phase 1 study was developed to identify recommended phase 2 doses (RP2Ds) of AR-42 and pazopanib when given in combination for subsequent clinical trials and may have potentially identified candidate pharmacodynamic and predictive biomarkers.

This study is an uncontrolled, central registration system, open-label, multicenter observational study in patients using Kesimpta for the labeled indication.
