Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

This study focuses on treatment outcomes of human metastatic cancer which usually fares with dismal (<5%) survival at 5 years following first diagnosis of a metastasis. However, a subgroup of patients with an initial oligometastatic presentation (i.e. 1-5 clinically detectable lesions) have been reported to respond to complete surgical removal of detectable deposits with up to 20% disease-free survival at 10 years. Patients relapsing with a second oligometastatic presentation respond to a second round of ablation with encouraging rates of 5-year disease free survival. Based on patterns of response to therapy and relapse, we propose investigate on the hypothesis that metastatic disease may be limited in extent, slowly growing and amenable to successive eradication of metastatic deposits. For visible tumor ablation, we propose to employ the effective and safe technique of Single Dose Image-Guided Radiotherapy (SDRT) and to optimize its use in conjunction with systemic therapy. Where SDRT at a full ablative dose (24Gy) is deemed unfeasible, hypofractionated SBRT (9Gy x3) will be offered. Response assessment will be via local control, poly-metastasis-free survival and overall survival rates. Preliminary phase I/II studies indicate remarkable benefits from the SDRT/SBRT in patients with limited metastatic disease. The expected outcomes may be significant conceptual and practical changes in the management of selected metastatic settings resulting in long-term periods of disease-free and overall survival in settings presently associated with dismal prognosis.

This is a single-center, open-label, single-arm, non-randomized study designed to evaluate PFS, safety, overall survival (OS), objective response rate (OPR), disease control rate (DCR) and biomarkers of cancer therapy based on Alphacait screening system in subjects with advanced malignant tumor.

The clinical trial is a stage 3 study to determine the role of fentanyl transmucosal in the prevention of pain induced by mobilization in patients receiving a bone metastasis radiation for bone metastasis irradiations

This study will give comparison of the bone pain remission and the adverse reaction of Zoledronic acid combine with High dose fractionation radiotherapy(30Gy/10f) and Zoledronic acid combine with low dose fractionation radiotherapy(15Gy/5f) . The purpose of this trial is to prove whether Zoledronic acid combine radiotherapy can reduce radiotherapy dose in treatment of non-small cell lung cancer bone metastasis'pain relief or not.

This Phase 3, open-label, triple arm study aims to evaluate the overall survival (OS) of fotemustine versus the combination of ipilimumab and fotemustine or the combination of Ipilimumab and nivolumab in patients with metastatic melanoma with brain metastasis.

Sorafenib is the standard therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with extrahepatic metastasis (EHM). However, addition of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) may be beneficial for controlling intrahepatic tumour. The investigators aimed to compare the efficacy between the sorafenib monotherapy and TACE-sorafenib sequential therapy in HCC patients with EHM.

Patients with renal failure or other reason for contraindication for contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) or contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CEMRI) with suspected liver pathology will be evaluated with Sonazoid enhanced Ultrasound

Prospective observational study to assess bone predictive biomarkers for TKI response in RCC patients with bone metastasis and HRQoL with TKI in these patients as well as the sensitivity and specificity of whole body magnetic resonance versus bone scintigraphy and versus CT in the assessment of metastatic lesions at bone level and at other sites.

RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers radiation directly to the area where a tumor was surgically removed may kill any remaining tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying radiation therapy to see how well it works in treating patients who are undergoing surgery to remove a metastatic brain tumor.

The incidence of malignant melanoma continues to rise throughout the world. Approximately 12 in 100,000 Germans are diagnosed with malignant melanoma per year. Malignant melanoma is often very aggressive since it may spread both through the lymphatic system and the bloodstream at an early stage of disease. While treatment of localized disease is mostly surgical, in patients with extensive disease, prognosis remains poor; the primary standard therapy of metastastic disease comprises dacarbazine (DTIC) eventually combined with other chemotherapeutic agents e.g., cisplatin or BCNU. The duration of response to systemic chemotherapy is generally short and so far, no standard second-line treatment has been established. To study the potential additional therapeutic effects of regional hyperthermia in advanced malignant melanoma patients with progressive chemotherapy refractory soft tissue metastases, in the present trial, we sought to compine local hyperthermia with concomitant systemic second-line chemotherapy.
