Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

The investigators will evaluate the safety of weekly infusions (n=6) of CELYVIR in children and adults with metastatic and refractory solid tumors. CELYVIR consists in bone marrow-derived autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) infected with ICOVIR5, an oncolytic adenovirus. In addition to data on toxicities the investigators will evaluate clinical response.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cryoablation therapy used to treat tumors in participants with pulmonary metastatic disease. This study is to enroll participants who will undergo cryoablation of at least 1 metastatic pulmonary tumor that is less than or equal to 3.5 centimeter (cm). Participants will be followed 24 months post their cryoablation procedure.

This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different dosing regimens of 0.5 mg ranibizumab given as intravitreal injection in comparison to verteporfin PDT in patients with visual impairment due to choroidal neovascularization secondary to pathologic myopia (PM)

This study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of etelcalcetide compared with placebo in the treatment of SHPT in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) receiving hemodialysis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of calcium electroporation on cutaneous metastases, and compare calcium electroporation with standard treatment: electrochemotherapy.

Multicentre, prospective, non-controlled phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of first line single agent Eribulin in patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast carcinoma previously exposed to taxanes for early stage. The primary objective of the study is to determine the median time to progression achieved with Eribulin. Other secondary objectives will be; overall response rate, clinical benefit rate, time to treatment progression, duration of response and toxicity profile.

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, Buparlisib (also known as BKM120) has on lymphoma and the central nervous system.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of thrice weekly intravenous (IV) administration of etelcalcetide in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in hemodialysis patients with chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD).

Brain metastases are the most common adult intracranial tumor, occurring in approximately 10% to 30% of adult cancer patients, and represent an important cause of morbidity and mortality in this population. The standard of care for solitary brain metastasis is surgery followed by whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT). Without WBRT, there are unacceptably high levels of local failure that occur. Local recurrence rates ranged from approximately 45% at 1 year to 60% at 2 years after resection alone. However, aside from improvements in intra-cranial control, it is well documented that WBRT is associated with serious long term side effects, including significant decline in short term recall by as early as 4 months after treatment. Many centers are now offering patients stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to the cavity after resection alone to improve local control while avoiding the negative effects of WBRT. There have been several retrospective studies on the use of SRS to the resection cavity alone, from which the 1 year actuarial local control rates range from 35% - 82%. The high rate of in-field local failure suggests that the current dosing regimen used may not be high enough for adequate local control. Currently, the highest local control rates are approximately 80%, but there may be room for improvement with increased dose without significantly increasing the risk of side effects. The investigators propose a trial for patients after surgical resection of solitary brain metastases. The purpose of this trial will be to determine the maximum tolerated dose for single fraction SRS to the resection cavity. There will be three groups based on the resection cavity size. Dose escalation enrollment will be done sequentially within each cohort. You will know which cohort and which specific dose level you are randomized to. After treatment, which will take one day, regardless of cohort, you will be followed closely for treatment outcome and possible side effects. You will be asked to complete three quick surveys at each follow-up appointment regarding quality of life and memory in addition to standard of care surveillance brain MRI and physical exam.

This is a pilot, prospective randomized controlled study with the primary objective to evaluate and compare medical treatment of severe SHPT, namely oral cinacalcet versus surgical treatment, that is, parathyroidectomy with forearm autografting, on the progression of coronary artery and valvular calcification and left ventricular mass index in endstage renal disease patients receiving peritoneal dialysis over 12 months. The change in arterial stiffening, left ventricular volume, aortic valve calcium score and bone mineral density, nutritional status and biochemical parameters, quality of life measures will be evaluated as secondary objectives of this study.
