Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

The FORESEE Study is a multi-center, prospective clinical trial enrolling patients with Breast or Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) who have suspicious or confirmed Leptomeningeal Metastases (LM). Standard of Care methods to diagnose, or assess the treatment response of LM (Clinical Evaluation, MRI and Cytology) have limited sensitivity and specificity. This creates challenges for physicians to manage LM or determine the best course of treatment. CNSide, is a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT ) that is used commercially at the Physician's discretion in Biocept's CLIA certified, CAP accredited laboratory. CNSide can detect and quantify tumor cells in the CSF from patients with Breast Cancer or NSCLC having a suspicious or confirmed LM. The goal of the FORESEE Study is to evaluate the performance of CNSide in monitoring the LM's response to treatment and to assess the impact of CNSide on treatment decisions made by Physicians.

The study prospectively assesses the change in cancer-specific clinical decisions and outcomes before and after physicians received results from the Pathwork® Tissue of Origin (TOO) Test for patients whose primary site of cancer origin is uncertain.

In this study, the feasibility of optical imaging and FDG-PET in the evaluation of radiation-induced mucositis will be evaluated.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of BBB disruption using the ExAblate 4000-system Type 2 in patients with Her-2 positive breast cancer metastases in the brain.

The PRE-FURTHER study aims to evaluate the feasibility of the combined treatment with radiotherapy and focussed ultrasound for pain palliation in patients with painful bone metastases, and to optimize the combined treatment logistics. Six to ten patients will be included according to in- and exclusion criteria.

The main goals of deep hyperthermia combined with external beam radiation (EBRT) on bone metastases are the response on pain relief, duration of response and time to achieve complete pain relief.

Clinical study aimed at improving anemia management in End Stage Renal Disease Patient (ESRD) on maintenance Hemodialysis with evidence of Chronic Kidney disease Mineral Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD)

The objective of the PREDOMOS study is to evaluate the impact of establishing a Program of geriatric and Social intervention associated techniques of Domotic and Remote assistance (PS-DR) on the improvement of quality of life of elderly patients, isolated or at risk of isolation, treated for locally advanced or metastatic cancer.

Brain metastasis is a very common disease with poor prognosis, 20% cancer will develop brain metastases(BM), up to 40% by autopsy. Great advances have made with the application of targeting therapy, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, whole brain radiation and radiosurgery, however, treated patients were finally suffered from drug/radiation resistance and rapid recurrence. Tumor treating fields (TTFields) is one of the standard combination treatment for GBM, and some researchers believe that TTFields can effectively inhibit patient-derived lung adenocarcinoma brain metastasis cells progression in vitro. In this study, the investigator attempts to evaluate the safety, and tolerability of TTFields in adult participants diagnosed with Drug/Radiation resistant BM.

Immunity of cancer patients is an important issue. According to cancer immunity, it can be divided into three phases: clearance phase, equilibrium phase, and escape phase (cancer cells can avoid the recognition of immune cells). Βeta-glucans is extracted from yeast, it can increase immune function and drive of hematopoietic stem cells in animals and clinical trials. Glutamine can increase the repair of oral and intestinal mucosa of patients receiving chemical and radiation therapy and can increase the lymphocytes of patients. Colostrum contains IgA, IgG, IgM, etc., known to protect the baby Cancer patients who are infected with intestinal bacteria and undergo systemic chemotherapy are less immune than normal adults. Investigators will compare β-glucan, glutamine, and colostrum immunoglobulin powder with β-glucan and control group, each group has 30 people, and observe the side effects and blood of patients under standard chemotherapy. The performance of the immune system, such as helpers and cytotoxic T cells and NK cells, and to observe the differences in treatment interruption or delay rates and treatment rates.
