Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

The study was designed to allow for the continuation of treatment with Sorafenib as a single agent to those patients who participated in a previous Sorafenib study that had reached its designated end-date and who were, in the opinion of the Investigator and the Sponsor, still benefiting from treatment.

To determine whether simvastatin at a dose of 80mg can reduce the rate of whole brain atrophy, as measured by MRI, over a 2-year time-period when compared to placebo.

Subjects who completed ZA-003 were eligible to receive an additional year of treatment in this extension study.

Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) occurs in many patients with kidney disease and leads to bone disease. Active forms of vitamin D, calcitriol and paricalcitol, treat SHPT, but may have different effects on blood calcium. This study will randomize patients with SHPT and stage 3 or 4 CKD to treatment with calcitriol or paricalcitol, and monitor patients for the incidence of high blood calcium, and effectiveness of SHPT treatment.

The primary objective of the study is to estimate the progression-free survival rate at 12 months for the two arms of the study. Secondary objectives include the evaluation of overall objective response rate to treatment, progression-free survival, overall survival, safety and documentation of potential immunogenicity of aflibercept. This study was a non-comparative randomized trial and was not powered for a comparison of any of the efficacy endpoints. Rather, the aim of the trial was to get, for all endpoints, an estimation of the efficacy and safety of aflibercept combined with a modified FOLFOX6 regimen. In such type of non-comparative randomized trial, the control FOLFOLX6 arm was intended to only act as a check on the similarity of the current patients to the historical controls with respect to clinical outcome when given FOLFOX6 treatment.

Open-label Multicenter, Phase I/II Study comprising three phases (single dose, multiple dose and extension phase), Assessing the Safety and Efficacy of Ranibizumab (RFB002) in Japanese Patients With Subfoveal Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) Secondary to Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD).

A present there is no safe treatment for reducing rate at which disability worsens in people with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. Recent research has suggested the possibility that drugs that act by blocking the entry of sodium into nerve cells can protect nerve fibres in the brain and spinal cord. In this trial, the investigators will test whether one such drug, called lamotrigine, can prevent damage to nerve fibres and reduce the rate at which MS worsens. The period of treatment in the trial will run for 2 years.

Melanoma with a tumor thickness >= 1.5mm without clinically detectable nodes represents an increasing population with relapse rate of more than 50%. Adjuvant therapy with low doses of IFN alpha can provide a benefit in this group. However, the impact of low dose IFN alpha is not sustained after the treatment period. A longer treatment may prolong the benefit and thus have a more clear-cut impact on disease-free and overall survival. The tolerance and the impact on quality of life are limiting factors in a group of patients whose individual course is not necessarily poor. PegIntron may be better tolerated than instant release interferon, and thus make this treatment more acceptable in terms of toxicity and quality of life. Thus treatment schedule with PegIntron is not expected to increase the cost of standard care significantly.

This trial evaluated the safety of combining bevacizumab and pemetrexed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with stable brain metastases as second-line chemotherapy, while evaluating progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

Tolerance and efficacy of administration of capecitabine 5 out of 7 days associated with weekly paclitaxel compared to the recommended treatment plan of weekly paclitaxel - capecitabine, in patients with metastatic breast cancer.
