Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

This was an open-label, non-randomized Phase 1/2 safety study of INCAGN01876 in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that was conducted in 2 parts. Part 1 is dose escalation and safety expansion which determines the optimal dose and maximum number of tolerated doses. Part 2 is dose expansion in which Part 1 recommended dose will be evaluated.

This study evaluates MBC-11 (a conjugate of a bone-targeting vehicle (etidronate) and a cytostatic agent [ara-C] in patients with malignant tumors with CIBD. This is a first use in human.

Brief Summary: Persistent Physical Symptoms (PPS), also known as medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) is a term used to describe a range of persistent bodily symptoms for which the exact cause is unclear. Between 20 and 40% of patients in primary care, and about 50% in secondary care experience PPS. Not only are PPS common, but the overlap across different patient groups may indicate that these phenomena are transdiagnostic. PPS are associated with profound disability and high health care costs, and if left untreated the prognosis of these patients is poor. There is an accumulating body of evidence demonstrating that cognitive behavioural interventions can reduce levels of symptoms and improve functioning in patients with PPS. A pragmatic randomised controlled trial (RCT) was designed to evaluate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) + Standard Medical Care (SMC) versus Standard Medical Care alone, in the treatment of patients with PPS. The trial will focus on patients with a variety of symptoms (e.g., non-cardiac chest pain, fibromyalgia), across secondary care clinics (e.g., neurology, cardiology, and rheumatology).

Patients with resectable liver metastases of colorectal origin will be assigned to laparoscopic liver resection or conventional open liver surgery. Blood samples will be drawn preoperatively and 24 hours after resection. Determination of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-8 will be done to assess the stress response between open and laparoscopic liver resection (Elisa test). The Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) of inflammation related factors (cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-9)), angiogenesis related factor (vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hypoxia induced factor-1 (HIF-1)) in tumor tissue and normal liver parenchyma will be detected by real-time real time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR).

Investigational device is the Magnetic resonance imager linear accelerator. Five (5) patients with bone metastases will be treated with palliative intention in this study. The goal is to confirm the pre-clinically demonstrated technical accuracy and safety of the newly developed MR-Linac in the clinical setting.

This is an open-label, randomized, active comparator, multicenter, international Phase 3 study of NKTR-102 versus TPC in patients with metastatic breast cancer who have stable brain metastases and have been previously treated with an anthracycline, a taxane, and capecitabine in either the adjuvant or metastatic setting (prior anthracycline may be omitted if medically appropriate or contraindicated for the patient).

This is an open-labeled, single-center, Phase I study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of apatinib with nivolumab treatment in participants with unresectable or metastatic cancer. Total study duration will be approximately 50 months: 12 months of recruitment plus 6 months of treatment and subsequent survival follow up.

The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate whether the therapeutic response of chemotherapy can be improved by focused ultrasound and microbubbles. Patients with liver metastases from breast cancer and colorectal cancer will be included. Computer Tomography (CT) will be performed as a baseline scan before treatment start. Two metastases in each patients liver will be preselected and randomized to either "target lesion" to be treated or "control lesion" to serve as internal control. The patients will receive conventional treatment with chemotherapy according to national guidelines. After intravenous chemotherapy infusion the patients will receive the experimental treatment. The target lesion will get focused ultrasound (FUS). Simultaneously repeated bolus-doses of microbubbles will be administered intravenously. The investigators will measure the difference in response between FUS- treated and -untreated lesions on the post-treatment CT scan.

The objective of this trial is to collect and compare safety and effectiveness data of Magnetic Resonance guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) using the ExAblate 2100 device and radiotherapy in the treatment of metastatic bone tumors. This study is designed as a prospective, double arm, non-randomized study with External Beam radiation therapy (EBRT) serving as control arm. The study hypothesis is that MRgFUS is an effective non-invasive and safe treatment for the palliation of metastatic bone tumors with a low incidence of co-morbidity as compared to EBRT.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Medtronic OsteoCool™ RF Ablation System.
