Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

The investigators are doing this study to find out whether proton craniospinal radiation therapy (proton CSI) or partial photon radiation therapy is more effective at preventing leptomeningeal metastasis from worsening. The proton CSI targets the entire space containing the CSF, brain, and spinal fluid. The partial photon radiation therapy treats only areas where the patient is having symptoms, such as the entire brain or part of the spine. The investigators also want to find out if proton CSI improves the symptoms patients may be experiencing because of the leptomeningeal metastasis. In addition, the investigators will compare the side effects of proton CSI and partial photon therapy. Patients undergoing proton beam RT will receive their treatment at the New York Proton Center in New York, NY. As part of the New York Proton Consortium, MSK has contracted for its faculty to treat patients at the New York Proton Center. If it is unfeasible for patients to get treated at NYPC, patients will have the decision to get treated at ProCure in Summerset, NJ.

The objective of study IOA-244-101 is to determine whether IOA-244 is safe and tolerable in cancer patients (Part A). In addition, the study will assess whether IOA-244 can increase the anti-tumour immune response in patients both as monotherapy and in combination pemetrexed/cisplatin/avelumab (Part B Mesothelioma and NSCLC 1st line), in combination with avelumab (Part B Cutaneous Melanoma and NSCLC 2nd/3rd line) and ruxolitinib (Part B Primary Myelofibrosis)

The study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SHR6508 for Chinese patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism of chronic kidney disease treated by maintenance hemodialysis.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ipilimumab when given together with decitabine in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving ipilimumab and decitabine may work better in treating patients with relapsed or refractory myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia.

This first-in-human open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation and expansion study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of tiragolumab alone or in combination with atezolizumab and/or other anti-cancer therapies in participants with locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic incurable tumors for whom standard therapy does not exist, has proven to be ineffective or intolerable, or is considered inappropriate, or for whom a clinical trial of an investigational agent is a recognized standard of care.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of different doses of ARRY-380 in combination with trastuzumab. Trastuzumab is an FDA approved drug for the treatment of HER2 metastatic breast cancer. However, the combination of ARRY-380 and trastuzumab has not yet been tested. Both agents block the HER2 receptor, which is thought to be overactive in HER2-positive breast cancer. It is thought that ARRY-380 and trastuzumab might work together because they attach to different parts of the HER2 receptor and prevent it from functioning. Because HER2 positive breast cancer contains high levels of HER2 receptor, but normal cells in your body generally do not, the drugs may be able to "target" the cancer cells. In addition, in laboratory studies, ARRY-380 appears to have some penetration into the brain.

This research study seeks to gain new knowledge about the addition of a carefully targeted "boost" dose of radiation as a possible treatment for recurrent or metastatic head or neck cancer. The name of the study intervention involved in this study is stereotactic body radiotherapy, which is a way of delivering radiation in a more precisely targeted way and with a higher dose than conventional radiotherapy.

The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if adding local therapy (surgery and/or radiation) to standard therapy (chemotherapy or endocrine therapy) in the treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer can help to control the disease for a longer period of time than standard therapy alone.

The investigator's want to find out if treatment with ibrutinib, rituximab, and lenalidomide are safe and better than the usual approach in patients with recurrent or refractory central nervous system lymphoma.

The purpose of this research is to see if monitoring the brain using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after radiation therapy will allow investigators to find cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases) before it causes symptoms.
