Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PLS240 in patients with hemodialysis-dependent end stage kidney disease (ESKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). The study consists of two phases. First, a placebo-controlled, double-blind phase where patients will be randomly assigned to either receive dose-titrated PLS240 or matching placebo for 27 weeks. After the completion of the double-blind phase, patients will be eligible to enroll in the open-label extension phase, where they will receive dose-titrated PLS240 for an additional 26 weeks. Throughout the duration of the study, patients will be expected to attend multiple study visits where an investigator will collect blood, preform electrocardiograms (ECGs) and physical exams, and further assess the safety and efficacy of PLS240.

The objective of this trial is to assess the safety and feasibility of delivering SBRT to patients with limited BMs (less than 10 lesions of lung cancer) by establishing the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of SABR in 5 fractions.

This phase 1 study will investigate the safety, dosing, and initial antitumor activity of JZP815 in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors harboring alterations in the MAPK pathway.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of the study drug, RP-3500 when given in combination with palliative external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) to people who have metastatic solid tumor cancer with a mutation of the ATM gene. The study researchers will do tests to find the highest dose of RP3500 that causes few or mild side effects.

A national, prospective, multi-center, open-label, single arm phase II trial investigating the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab plus erlotinib in patients with advanced cancers which harbors genomic alterations in Krebs cycle

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO). In people with RVO, a blood vessel that carries blood away from the retina (vein) becomes blocked. The retina is the very back part of the eye. The blocked vein causes fluid and blood to leak into the retina and thereby causes a swelling of the macula (the center of the retina responsible for fine vision). This swelling is called macular edema. When a vein in the retina is blocked, the levels of a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) rises. VEGF helps the growth of new blood vessels. This can lead to macular edema and may cause the vision to become blurry. The study treatment intravitreal (IVT) aflibercept is given as an injection into the eye. It works by blocking VEGF and this can help repair vision problems related to RVO. IVT aflibercept is already available and is prescribed by doctors as the standard of care treatment for macula edema secondary to RVO. Standard of care is a treatment that medical experts consider most appropriate for a disease. Standard of care is given every 4 weeks in people with macula edema secondary to RVO. While repeated injections of aflibercept may prevent worsening of vision, it may place a burden on the patient. However, a higher amount (8 mg) compared to the standard of care (2 mg) of IVT aflibercept is being tested in studies. This higher amount could be given less often. The amount of IVT aflibercept given is measured in milligrams, also known as mg. The main purpose of this study is to learn how well a higher amount of the study treatment aflibercept works in people with macular edema secondary to RVO. To answer this, researchers will measure changes in vision called best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the study participants between study start and after 36 weeks of treatment. Changes will then be compared between those participants who received the higher amount of IVT aflibercept and those that received standard of care. To learn how safe the study treatment is in the participants, the researchers will count the number of participants from study start and up to 64 weeks later that have: adverse events serious adverse events "Adverse events" are any medical problems that the participants have during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think they might be related to the study treatments. An adverse event is considered "serious" when it leads to death, puts the participants' lives at risk, requires hospitalization, causes disability, causes a baby being born with medical problems or is otherwise medically important. Dependent on the treatment group, the participants will either receive the higher amount of aflibercept or standard of care as an intravitreal injection for up to 60 weeks. The study will consist of a test (screening) phase, a treatment phase and an end of study phase. Each participant will be in the study for up to 64 weeks. One visit to the study site is planned during the screening phase, followed by visits approximately every 4 weeks (16 in total) during treatment and one visit at the end of the study. During the study, the study doctors and their team will: check patients' eye health using various eye examination techniques measure patients' eye vision (BCVA) take blood and urine samples do physical examinations check vital signs examine heart health using electrocardiogram (ECG) do pregnancy tests in women of childbearing age In addition, participants will be asked to fill a questionnaire on vision-related quality of life.

In the randomized controlled DRAGON 2 trial study subjects will be randomized between two arms, PVE alone (control group) and PVE/HVE (interventional group).

Gastric cancer is the fifth most common carcinoma in the world, and cancer-related deaths rank third. It is one of the main causes of death from cancer in Korea. The cure method for gastric cancer is radical resection, but in most patients, radical resection is impossible due to local infiltration or peripheral organ or distant metastasis. Many assisted chemotherapy has been studied to improve survival rate, and in East Asia, assisted chemotherapy after complete D2 resection is the standard treatment. In the West, on the other hand, preoperative chemotherapy and postoperative assisted chemotherapy are currently standard treatments. However, due to the limited effect of adjuvant chemotherapy, it has been reported that better clinical course can be improved by increasing anticancer intensity. In this context, a large number of prior chemotherapy have been attempted, and prior chemotherapy has several potential effects as follows. (1) Improvement of R0 resection rate due to reduced primary cancer size, (2) early treatment for micro metastasis, (3) evaluation of treatment response rate in patients with measurable lesions, and (4) unnecessary laparotomy can be avoided in patients with biologically aggressive diseases. Based on the efficacy of chemotherapy in the combination of docetaxel, fluoropyrimidine, and platinum in metastatic gastric cancer, the investigators conducted a preceding auxiliary anti-cancer clinical trial of docetaxel, capecitabine and cisplatin in advanced gastric cancer patients who could not be completely resected by surgery. DXP was performed 4-6 cycles before surgery with the recommended dose in phase 1-2. In a total of 49 patients, R0 resection was performed in 31 (63%), and among patients, R0 resection was improved in cases where resection was not possible due to local infiltration (71%) and in cases where para-aortic node metastasis was performed (73%). We have reported that docetaxel, oxaliplatin, and S-1 chemotherapy (DOS) as preoperative adjuvant therapy can be safely administered in combination with D2 gastrectomy and postoperative adjuvant therapy S-1 in potentially resectable local progressive gastric cancer patients. R0 resection was achieved in 97.6% of patients, and pathological complete remission was observed in 19.5%. Based on this, a phase 3 PRODIGY study was performed to evaluate the benefit of S-1 (CSC group) as a preoperative prior chemotherapy compared to S-1 (SC group) as a postoperative adjuvant therapy in gastric cancer of cT2/3N+ or cT4Nany stage, and 0.75% of the CSC group was administered HR. In the patient group undergoing surgery, the R0 resection rate was 95% in the CSC group and 84% in the SC group. In the CSC group, the pathological complete remission rate was 10.4%. Based on these results, a clinical trial of DOS as a preoperative chemotherapy was planned for progressive gastric cancer that could not be resected due to local progression or metastasis limited to remote lymph nodes. Primary goal: Evaluation of R0 resection rate in patients who underwent prior chemotherapy as a clinical trial. Secondary objective: safety evaluation, overall survival period, progression-free survival period, pathological complete remission rate, and investigation of biological markers.

This phase I study tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of Ac225-DOTA-M5A in treating patients with CEA positive colorectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Ac225-DOTA-M5A is a humanized monoclonal anti-CEA antibody, linked to a radioactive agent called actinium 225. M5A attaches to CEA positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers actinium 225 to kill them.
