Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

TREATMENT is an observational study addressing the need for knowledge and adequate diagnostic biomarkers in the response assessment of patients with brain metastasis. Reliable response assessment will be highly relevant in the coming years given the introduction of next-generation cancer drugs, including immunotherapy. This project uses advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Vessel Architecture Imaging (VAI) to better understand the response to traditional stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and immunotherapy. Secondary objectives include: In patients with brain metastases, use advanced MRI and Vessel Architectural Imaging methods to reveal parameters of traditional, immunotherapeutic, and anti-angiogenic therapy response. In patients with brain metastases, use advanced MRI and Vessel Architectural Imaging methods to compare results with traditional biomarkers. Use existing infrastructure at Oslo University Hospital to standardize therapy monitoring. In patients with brain metastases, use advanced MRI and Vessel Architectural Imaging methods to separate real tumor progression from treatment-induced pseudoprogression or radionecrosis In patients with brain metastases, use advanced MRI and Vessel Architectural Imaging methods to assess whether anti-angiogenic drugs improve delivery of chemotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to elucidate if a novel biomaterial containing gelatin, manuka honey, and hydroxyapatite enhances secondary intention healing when compared to conventional secondary intention healing for surgical defects after Mohs micrographic surgery on the head and distal lower extremities (below the knee). This novel biomaterial has already been FDA cleared for surgical wounds.

This research is being done to determine if a short course of Chloroquine (five weeks) before, during and after whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) will improve the overall survival of subjects being treated for brain metastases.

This is a phase II trial evaluating intra-hepatic chemotherapy with oxaliplatin every second week in combination with systemic capecitabine and in patients with a HER2-positive tumour in combination with trastuzumab (Herceptin®) in patient with non-resectable liver metastases from breast cancer. Only patients without extrahepatic disease are included.

The purpose of this study is to determine a recommended Phase 2 dose and dosing regimen of LY2090314 in combination with pemetrexed and carboplatin in patients with advanced/metastatic cancer. Part A of this study will consist of dose escalation of the study regimen, and Part B will consist of an expanded cohort to confirm the dose provided from Part A.

Open, non-randomised, radiolabelled, single centre study with a total of six patients with solid metastatic tumors to determine the rates and routes of elimination of 14C-AZD2171 and its metabolites.

The goal of this trial is to determine the toxicity and maximum dose of rapamycin and bevacizumab given together to subjects with advanced cancers. This study will also look at the pharmacokinetics and antitumor activity of the combination.

The investigators want to test whether infusions of intravenous immunoglobulin - a blood product known to modify immune responses - in early pregnancy will increase the chance of a subsequent live birth in women with three or more miscarriages after a birth and a total of at least four miscarriages. This will be done in a trial where 82 patients will be randomly allocated to infusions with intravenous immunoglobulin or placebo during pregnancy.

The purpose of this study is to determine the highest safe dose of rapamycin when given with a fixed amount of grapefruit juice.

The aim of this study was to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of bolus mitomycin C (MMC) in combination with 24 h-continuous infusion of 5-fluorouracil (FU) plus folinic acid, and to assess the toxicity and activity in patients with previously treated colorectal and gastric cancer. Escalating doses of MMC starting from 6 mg m(-2) in 2 mg m(-2)-steps to a maximum of 10 mg m(-2) were applied on days 1 and 22, given to fixed doses of 5-FU (2.600 mg m(-2)) as 24 h infusion and folinic acid 500 mg m(-2) prior to 5-FU weekly for 6 weeks
