Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

This is a prospective, multicentre, open-label, phase I/II study to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and the most successful dose (MSD) of XOFIGO®, in renal cancer patients with metastases to bone, without (Group A) or with (Group B) visceral metastases.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological condition which is a common cause of disability in young people. It is thought to be an autoimmune condition, where the body's immune system begins to attack itself. The cause of MS is unknown but is thought to be a mix of genetic and environmental factors. There are treatments available for early stages of MS, but the later stage known as Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS) has no current treatment. Statins are a safe treatment traditionally used to reduce cholesterol levels. However, statins also have other effects which could reduce the progression of SPMS, such as effects on the immune system and circulation. A recent study (Chataway et al., 2014) showed that treatment with high-dose simvastatin, a type of statin, reduced the progression of SPMS but no effect on the immune system was seen. It is possible that simvastatin does not treat the immune system but improves how the blood and blood vessels in the brain work in this disease. The purpose of the clinical trial is to test how Simvastatin (80mg/day) may slow down disease progression in people living with SPMS compared to placebo (dummy pill). Participants will receive either Simvastatin or placebo and will be asked to take 2 tablets daily, for up to 17 weeks.

Standard indications for palliative radiation of bony metastases include pain, spinal cord compression, and impending pathologic fractures. Palliative radiation therapy serves to reduce pain, improve quality of life, and avoid complications. Tailored training of the paravertebral musculature may support Radiation therapy and improve above named factors. DISPO-2 was designed to investigate the impact of tailored physical exercise in patients with unstable vertebral metastases as compared to manual therapy (massage etc.). The trial includes patients with painful unstable bony metastases, patients with spinal cord compression or impending pathological fractures are excluded. The investigations are carried out in a prospective randomized controlled phase-II parallel group design.

This trail is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of high dose Iconitib combined with SRS for NSCLC patients harboring EGFR mutation with brain metastases.

Patients will receive AZD9291 at a dose of 80 mg once daily. Intracranial response will be assessed with brain MRI scan, systemic evaluation will be done by PET-CT (Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography) scan. In case of isolated CNS progression which may or may not be accompanied by asymptomatic systemic progression, AZD9291 dose will be escalated to 160 mg once daily. For patients whose intracranial disease will progress further, brain radiotherapy (in the form of SRS or WBRT) will be administered; treatment with AZD9291 will be interrupted and re-initiated at a standard dose after the end of radiotherapy course in the absence of symptomatic systemic progression. The treatment will be continued until symptomatic systemic progression, unacceptable toxicity or further intracranial progression following brain radiotherapy administration (whichever occurs first). All patients will be followed until death or 5 years.

This study compares the effectiveness and safety of two radiation treatment techniques for patients with multiple brain metastases.

This is a phase I trial investigating the safety of pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) using paclitaxel combined with intravenous FOLFOX therapy for gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis.

This is a multi-center, single-arm, open-label, Phase 2 clinical study of Dacomitinib for EGFR Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) With Brain Metastases.

Few studies have evaluated the use of fluorescein sodium for the resection of brain tumours (especially glioblastomas) but also cerebral metastases. We therefore propose to evaluate the technique of fluorescence guided microsurgery (fluorescein sodium) compared to the conventional microsurgical technique in the resection of cerebral metastases in adults in order to specify, by a prospective and randomised study, the assistance provided by this technique in the quality of resection and the gain in terms of overall survival and local control of brain disease.

Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is a devastating and terminal complication of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), especially in patients harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. Osimertinib is an oral,third-generation, irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) that selectively inhibits both EGFR-TKI-sensitizing and EGFR T790M resistance mutations .AURA I/II study and other preclinical study suggested that Osimertinib exhibited a better blood-brain barrier(BBB) penetration than the other EGFR-TKIs (gefitinib, erlotinib, or afatinib).The BLOOM 、AURA and FLURA study demonstrated that osimertinib showed encouraging activity and manageable tolerability in pretreated EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients with LM. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Animal study and autopsy specimens showed that VEGF is an essential factor in LM. Recently study showed EGFR-TKIs plus bevacizumab prolonged PFS and OS in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC and multiple brain mteastasis when compared with EGFR-TKIs alone. Howerver osimertinib combined with bevacizumab could benefit patients with LM from EGFR- mutant NSCLC remains undetermined. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of osimertinib combined with bevacizumab for EGFR- mutant non-small cell lung cancer with leptomeningeal metastasis
