Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

Phase I, open label, dual centre, dose finding study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of continuous twice daily oral dosing with AZD2281 when administered in combination with Bevacizumab 10mg/kg given every 2 weeks to patients with advanced solid tumours.

RATIONALE: Surgery may be an effective treatment for liver metastasis from a gastrointestinal stromal tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well surgery works in treating patients with liver metastasis from a gastrointestinal stromal tumor.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether MBP8298 is effective and safe in the treatment secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. Dirucotide is generic name for MBP8298.

RATIONALE: Stereotactic body radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. Vertebroplasty may help prevent fractures and spinal cord compression caused by spinal metastasis. Giving stereotactic body radiation therapy together with vertebroplasty may help lessen pain and improve quality of life of patients with spinal metastasis. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving stereotactic body radiation therapy together with vertebroplasty works in treating patients with localized spinal metastasis.

RATIONALE: Stereotactic radiosurgery can send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. It may also help patients with spinal metastases live more comfortably. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of stereotactic radiosurgery in treating patients with spinal metastases.

RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II/III trial is studying how well image-guided radiosurgery or stereotactic body radiation therapy works and compares it to external-beam radiation therapy in treating patients with localized spine metastasis.

The purpose of this study is to observe the effectiveness and safety of the use of a low initial dose regime (iPTH/100) in chronic kidney disease patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (PTH>300pg/mL) and that require dialysis at least 3 times per week.

The goal of this clinical research is to find the highest tolerable dose of Abraxane (nab-paclitaxel) when given directly to the area where the cancer is located. The safety of this drug will also be studied.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti-NGF AB in cancer patients with pain due to bone metastases who participated in the double-blind Study A4091003 and who wish to receive open-label therapy.

This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving topical imiquimod together with Abraxane (paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation) to see how well it works in treating patients with advanced breast cancer. Biological therapies, such as imiquimod, may stimulate the immune system to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as Abraxane, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving imiquimod together with Abraxane may kill more tumor cells.
