Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

To evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of regorafenib versus placebo in subjects with colorectal cancer (CRC) after curative resection of liver metastasis and completion of all planned chemotherapy.

This is a global, multi-centre, open-label, study of GSK2118436 conducted in up to 30 evaluable subjects with resectable, BRAF V600E or V600K mutation-positive metastatic melanoma to the brain. All subjects in this study are required to have accessible extracranial metastases and are agreeable to undergo repetitive biopsies. The first cohort of 15 subjects will receive dabrafenib orally 150mg twice daily (BID) for 7 to 14 days prior to surgery (Cohort A); the second cohort of 15 subjects will receive the combination of dabrafenib 150 mg BID and trametinib 2 mg once daily for 7 to 14 days prior to surgery (Cohort B). The primary purpose of this study is to determine levels and distribution of dabrafenib, its metabolites, and trametinib (Cohort B only) in parenchymal brain metastases, extracranial metastases, and peripheral blood (plasma) within two cohorts of subjects with BRAF V600E/K mutation-positive melanoma that has metastasized to the brain. All subjects will be followed for survival and new anti-cancer therapy for a total of two years or until death or the subject wishes to withdraw from further follow-up.

This study is being done to find out if SEA-CD40 is safe and effective when given alone, in combination with pembrolizumab, and in combination with pembrolizumab, gemcitabine, and nab-paclitaxel. The study will test increasing doses of SEA-CD40 given at least every 3 weeks to small groups of patients. The goal is to find the highest dose of SEA-CD40 that can be given to patients that does not cause unacceptable side effects. Different dose regimens will be evaluated. Different methods of administration may be evaluated. The pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamic effects, biomarkers of response, and antitumor activity of SEA-CD40 will also be evaluated.

This study evaluates if itraconazole causes a reduction in the serum levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in male subjects with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).

Background: - A new cancer treatment involves collecting white blood cells from an individual, modifying them to secrete IL-2 and target the ESO-1 protein expressed on some cancers, and returning them to the body. The cells may then be able to seek out the cancer cells and destroy them. Some kinds of cancer contain a protein called ESO-1, which is found on the surface of the cells. Doctors want to modify white blood cells to have an anti-ESO-1 effect, and use them to treat the cancer that has the ESO-1. In addition to adding genes that target the ESO-1 protein to the cells, the genes for IL-12 are added to the cells. IL-12 is a protein that stimulates the immune system. This type of therapy is called gene transfer. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of anti-ESO-1/IL-12 white blood cells against metastatic cancer. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have metastatic cancer that expresses ESO-1 and has not responded to standard treatments. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will also have blood tests and imaging studies. Participants will have leukapheresis about a month before the treatment to collect white blood cells. They will have chemotherapy 5 days before the treatment to suppress the immune system, and prepare the body for the anti-ESO-1/IL-12 cells. The anti-ESO-1/IL-12 cells will be given as an infusion. Participants will be monitored in the hospital during their recovery from the treatment. Participants will have regular followup exams every 1 to 6 months. The exams will include blood tests, imaging studies, and other studies. Due to toxicities seen with the regimen, it was decided not to pursue the phase 2 portion of the study.

This is a Phase 3b, multicenter, international study conducted in 2 parts. Upon completion of the placebo-controlled period (Part 1), participants will have the option of enrolling in a 2-year open-label extension (Part 2). Part 1: The primary objective of the study is to investigate whether treatment with natalizumab slows the accumulation of disability not related to relapses in participants with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS). The secondary objectives of Part 1 of this study are to determine the proportion of participants with consistent improvement in Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW), the change in participant-reported ambulatory status as measured by the 12-item MS Walking Scale (MSWS-12), the change in manual ability based on the ABILHAND Questionnaire, the impact of natalizumab on participant-reported quality of life using the Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale-29 Physical (MSIS-29 Physical), the change in whole brain volume between the end of study and Week 24 using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the proportion of participants experiencing progression of disability as measured by individual physical Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) system scores. Part 2: The primary objective of Part 2 of the study is to evaluate the safety profile of natalizumab in participants with SPMS. The secondary objectives of Part 2 of the study are to investigate long-term disability (based on clinical or participant-reported assessments) in participants with SPMS receiving natalizumab treatment for approximately 4 years and to assess change in brain volume and T2 lesion volume.

Background: - ECI301 is a drug that may help make cancer cells more visible to the immune system after radiation. The drug may also help the immune system destroy the cancer at sites that have not received radiation therapy. Researchers want to study ECI301 in people with advanced cancer or cancer that has spread in the body (metastatic). Objectives: - To test ECI301 with radiation therapy for advanced or metastatic cancer. Eligibility: - People at least 18 years of age with either metastatic or advanced cancer that may benefit from radiation therapy. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will also have blood and urine tests, and imaging studies. All participants will have radiation therapy 5 days a week for 2 weeks. They will have different doses of ECI301 to test its safety and effectiveness. ECI301 will be given in a vein during the second week of radiation therapy. Frequent blood tests and imaging studies will monitor the treatment. After participants have ECI301, tumor samples may be taken from the site that had radiation and another site that did not have radiation. Follow-up visits will include blood tests and imaging studies.

The DREAM study will assess the diagnostic accuracy of diffusion-weighted MRI in combination with other imaging modalities (multiparametric MRI and CT Scan) in determining the true status of disappearing liver metastasis (DLM) detected after conversion systemic therapy for unresectable or borderline resectable colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM).

This is an open-label, Phase 1/2 study in subjects with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study has three separate treatment groups where separate epigenetic agents are evaluated with an immunotherapy combination. Treatment Group A will evaluate the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor azacitidine in combination with the programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitor pembrolizumab and the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO-1) inhibitor epacadostat; Treatment Group B will evaluate the bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) inhibitor INCB057643 with pembrolizumab and epacadostat; and Treatment Group C will evaluate the lysine-specific demethylase 1A (LSD1) inhibitor INCB059872 with pembrolizumab and epacadostat. The study will be divided into 2 parts (Part 1 and 2). Part 1 is a dose-escalation assessment to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination therapies. Once the recommended doses have been determined, subjects with previously treated NSCLC, microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer (CRC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, and melanoma will be enrolled into expansion cohorts in Part 2.

This study is a multicenter ,randomization, open control study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Raltitrexed-based chemotherapy and 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy in the peri-operative treatment of patients with Liver Metastasis From colorectal cancer (CRC).
