Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of bempegaldesleukin (NKTR-214) in combination with nivolumab by assessing the objective response rate (ORR) in cisplatin ineligible, locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer patients.

The primary objective is to demonstrate that treatment with etelcalcetide (AMG 416) is not inferior to treatment with cinacalcet for lowering serum intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels by > 30% from baseline among participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) who require management with hemodialysis.

For patients with cerebral oligometastases who are in adequate clinical condition stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is the treatment of choice, being recommended by international guidelines for the treatment of one to four lesions. Newer findings have shown that for patients with more than four lesions SRS can be considered as a favorable alternative to whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT), the currently established standard-of-care treatment. With modern techniques highly conformal SRS of multiple lesions has become feasible with comparable clinical effort and minimal toxicity as compared to WBRT. Developments in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI- imaging) have produced highly sensitive contrast-enhanced three-dimensional fast spin echo sequences such as SPACE that facilitate the detection of very small and early-stage lesions in a fashion superior to the established Magnetization Prepared Rapid Gradient Echo (MPRAGE) series. Since it has been established that the response of brain metastases to SRS is better for smaller lesions and that WBRT can come at the price of significant neurotoxicity, the investigators hypothesize that 1) earlier detection of small brain metastases and 2) early and aggressive treatment of those by SRS will result in an overall clinical benefit by delaying the failure of repeated localized therapy and thus preserving quality of life and potentially prolonging overall survival. On the other hand however, overtreatment might be a valid concern with this approach since it has yet to be proved that a clinical benefit can be achieved. The current study aims to stretch the boundaries of the term "cerebral oligometastases" by performing SRS for up to ten cerebral metastases, compared to the established clinical standard of four, given that existing data supports the non-inferiority of this approach and given that modern Cyberknife SRS facilitates the treatment of multiple lesions with minimal treatment-associated toxicity.

This study compares the use of conventional radiotherapy technique with volumetric intensity-modulated radiotherapy (VMAT) in the treatment of painful cancer metastases. Half of the patients will receive radiotherapy using a conventional technique, while the other half will receive their treatment using a the VMAT technique.

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of iloprost on the frequency of and relief from symptomatic digital ischemic episodes in subjects with systemic sclerosis.

This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of VE800 in combination with nivolumab in patients with selected types of advanced or metastatic cancer

The oscillations of ultrasound (US) contrast agent microbubbles under their activation by US waves engender a modulation of the permeability of biological barriers amplifying hence the extravasation of drugs and/or fluorescent markers through a process known as sonoporation. In such a way, the bioavailability of the therapeutic agent is augmented only in the area where US waves are focused. The objective now is to translate this therapeutic approach to the clinic by performing a feasibility study with the development of a therapy regime optimized for hepatic metastases of colorectal cancer. In order to demonstrate the clinical feasibility of the therapeutic approach based on ultrasound and microbubbles, we will focus on patients with liver metastases of colorectal cancer treated with monoclonal antibodies in combination with chemotherapy.

This study is conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of SK-1403 in Hemodialysis Patients with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism. In the first treatment period, the efficacy of SK-1403 is assessed after 18 weeks of treatment with SK-1403 individually dose-adjusted . Safety is also assessed during this period. Patients who completed the first treatment period proceed to the second treatment period and receive the treatment with SK-1403 for 34 weeks. Efficacy and safety of SK-1403 are also assessed during this period.

This is a phase II, Open-Label, Multicenter, Prospective Clinical Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Tislelizumab Combined with Pemetrexed/ Carboplatin in Patients with Brain Metastases of Non-squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer. The primary end point is PFS, and secondary endpoint is ORR, OS, DoR and Neurocognitive impairment. during the study, the exploratory objectives including (1) PD-L1 expression, TMB, and other potential predictive biomarkers, correlated with response to treatment (2) Progression-free survival based on intracranial response (iPFS) according to RECIST 1.1 and RANO-BM

The purpose of this study is to understand whether participants can mount an immune response to SARS-CoV-2 modRNA vaccines administered either during continuous siponimod treatment or during a treatment break.
