Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

The suppression of IGF-I and growth hormone may significantly alter the pathobiology of osteosarcoma. SMS 201-955 pa LAR is a long acting analog of Somatostatin which inhibits the pituitary release of growth hormone, reducing levels of circulating IGF-I . Additional data on tamoxifen usage has also demonstrated a reduction in circulating IGF-I levels. The degree of suppression of IGF-I and growth hormone will be determined at two dose levels of SMS 291-955 pa LAR. Tamoxifen will be added to two of the cohorts to determine if the additive effects of tamoxifen and SMS 201-955 pa LAR will lead to additional reduction of circulating IGF-I and growth hormone levels. Arginine-stimulated GH tests to assess levels of growth hormone in the blood will be administered pre-treatment evaluation up to three times, one time on weeks 2, 8, 16, 28, 40, 52, and one month post last dose of SMS 201-955 pa LAR. The four cohorts for this study will receive 60 or 90 mg SMS 201-955 pa LAR injectable every four weeks for up to 52 weeks. Two of the cohorts will receive 10 mg Tamoxifen on a daily basis.

The ability of chemotherapy to cure cancer, including breast cancer, has been limited by drug resistant residual tumor cells remaining after chemotherapy that generally result in relapse. Additional therapeutic strategies to eradicate these residual tumor cells are needed. The augmentation of specific anti-tumor immune responses, such as those mediated by T-cells, might represent such an additional strategy for the control or elimination of residual tumor cells. This approach might be especially effective if T-cell mediated responses were enhanced during both the period of T-cell repopulation that follows acute T-cell depletion and in the setting of minimal residual tumor burden present after dose intensive chemotherapy. Such chemotherapy is known to result in severe T-cell depletion. This pilot study has been designed to examine the feasibility of combining dose intensive chemotherapy with interventions aimed at the reconstitution of T-cell immunity. Metastatic or adjuvant breast cancer patients who have received dose intensive chemotherapy will subsequently receive a combination of autologous chemotherapy-naive T-cells, a patient-specific tumor antigen vaccine, and recombinant human interleukin-2. These interventions will be assessed for their ability to modulate T-cell number, T-cell function, and T-cell specificity during the period of T-cell repopulation. Such modulation may result in the effective reconstitution of generalized T-cell immunity with the generation of vaccine-specific anti-tumor T-cell responses.

A Phase 1 open label trial of intravenous administration of MVA-BN-Brachyury vaccine in patients with advanced cancer. Patients with metastatic or unresectable locally advanced malignant solid tumors will be enrolled and treated according to a 3+3 dose escalation scheme. Up to 3 dose levels will be explored. Patients will receive MVA-BN-Brachyury every three weeks, three administrations in total. Patients will be hospitalized after each vaccination, over 48 hours. Trial duration will be approximately 24 weeks per patient including 3 months after the last vaccination follow up (FU) period.

This purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of FLASH radiotherapy for the palliative treatment of painful bone metastases. FLASH radiotherapy is radiation treatment delivered at ultra-high dose rates compared to conventional radiation treatment.

This Phase II randomized study is to determine the efficacy and safety of Bevacizumab combined with fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy(FSRT) in patients with 1 to 10 brain metastases in non-small cell lung cancer by assessing the treatment response, perilesional edema, neurological symptoms and quality of life.

Phase I study of RO7119929 given orally to participants with unresectable advanced or metastatic primary liver cancers and other solid tumors with predominant liver involvement. The primary objective of the study is to explore the safety and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or optimal biologic dose (OBD) of RO7119929 as single agent.

The main purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety and tolerability of abemaciclib when given in combination with hormone therapy in Indian women with advanced breast cancer. Participants must have hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer and must live in India. For each participant, the study could last up to eight months and may include up to eight visits to the study center.

A retrospective clinical trial to study the safety and effectiveness of hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) in treating patients who have nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastatic to the liver. Hepatic-direction drug administration improves the control power for intra-hapatic lesions.

The objective is to investigate the impact of intra-arterial administration of 177Lu-dotatate on the intrahepatic biodistribution in patients with NET liver metastases. Our primary objective is to evaluate if there is a difference in post-treatment tumor-to-non-tumor (T/N) activity concentration ratio on SPECT/CT between the intra-arterial treated liver lobe and the intravenous treated liver lobe.

This two-part study consists of a phase 1 dose escalation study in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors, and a phase 2 portion in up to 3 groups with either small cell lung cancer, breast cancer and/or one other solid tumor type.
