Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

This multi-site, Phase 1/2 clinical trial is an open-label study to identify the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of a repeated dose regimen of NEO212 for the treatment of patients with radiographically-confirmed progression of Astrocytoma IDH-mutant, Glioblastoma IDH-wildtype, and the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of a repeated dose regimen of NEO212 when given with select SOC for the treatment of solid tumor patients with radiographically confirmed uncontrolled brain metastasis. The study will have three phases, Phase 1, Phase 2a and Phase 2b.

The primary aim of the present study was to examine the haemodynamic changes in primary hypertension and secondary hypertension (renal diseases, endocrine diseases, obesity-associated hypertension) with a non-invasive haemodynamic measurement protocol utilizing radial pulse wave analysis and whole-body impedance cardiography in both supine position and during head-up tilt. For comparison, haemodynamics of subjects with chronic fatigue syndrome will also be recorded.

At the time of diagnosis, approximately 60%-80% of patients with hypopharyngeal cancer are found with cervical lymph node metastasis. Cervical nodal metastasis is an important prognostic factor in hypopharyngeal cancer. Induction chemotherapy is frequently used in advanced hypopharynx cancer. However, sometimes CR was obtained at the tumor's primary site but not in the palpable lymph nodes in the neck, the large cervical lymph node metastasis poorly responded to induction chemotherapy in a considerable percentage of patients. At present, patients with primary tumor achieved CR preferred to receive definitive radiotherapy no matter cervical lymph node metastasis SD or progression. But, radiotherapy was poor effective to the big cervical lymph node metastasis, because the inner of big cervical lymph node metastasis was hypoxic and necrosis. The investigators conducted a prospective, randomised trial to compare neck dissection with definitive radiotherapy for advanced hypopharyngeal cancer cervical lymph node metastasis with poor response to induction chemotherapy.

The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a battery of autoantibodies to predict the occurrence of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in patients with cancer who will be treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) per standard protocol.

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death for women around the world. Notably, most breast cancer patients die from tumor metastases in the liver, lungs, bones, or brain, not the primary tumor itself. Currently, clinicians are generally successful in treating primary tumors using standard protocols that are based on tumor sub-type and staging, as well as by the presence or absence of prognostic biomarkers. However, it remains difficult to assess in advance the likelihood of metastasis or relapse in any given patient.Physicians can only rely on regular post-treatment screening to monitor any secondary onset. By the time metastasis is detected, the golden window for treatment adjustment has often already passed. This project proposes to develop an analytical tool for predicting the likelihood of metastasis in breast cancer patients post-treatment using imaging and genomic data. We will evaluate our prediction model using prospectively-collected patient data. This new prognostic tool will enable physicians to adjust and tailor therapeutic strategies to each patient in a timely manner. Overall, the tool will personalize patient care, and improve their survival chances and quality of life.

The ASAC trial is a Scandinavian, multi-center, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study to determine whether adjuvant treatment with low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) can improve disease free survival in patients treated with resection for colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM). Several studies have shown beneficial effect of ASA on primary prevention of CRC and the investigators group and others have shown a potential association of ASA also taken after the diagnosis on CRC survival in registry-based studies (secondary prevention). Up to 800 patients operated for CRCLM will be randomized to Arm#1 ASA 160 mg once daily or Arm#2 Placebo for a period of 3 years or till disease recurrence. The patients will be treated and followed up according to standard of care and the National Guidelines. The ASAC trial will be the first clinical interventional trial to assess the beneficial role of ASA in recurrence of CRC liver metastases and survival. ASA is an inexpensive, well tolerated, and easily accessible drug that will be highly potential as adjuvant drug in secondary prevention of CRC liver metastases if the study shows a beneficial effect. This trial will also investigate the effect of ASA as adjuvant treatment on Health-related Quality of Life and the cost-effectiveness.

This bi-directional, multicentre study aims to assess multiparametric MRI Radiomics-based prediction model for identifying metastasis lymph nodes and prognostic prediction in breast cancer.

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of an online compassion-based intervention on burnout among specialist rehabilitation providers. Post-intervention interviews aim to gather information on: burnout and compassion, experiences with the intervention, barriers and facilitators to taking part, and suggestions for improving online course delivery.

This study is designed for participants who have cancer of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract such as cancer of the esophagus, stomach, duodenum (the initial portion of your small intestine), pancreas, bile duct (Cholangiocarcinoma), ampulla, or gall bladder with limited sites of spread (metastases). Doctors leading this study are looking to see if treating the disease using sequential procedures (more than one procedure given one after another) such as surgeries or radiation can lead to better survival and if these surgeries, combined with standard of care treatment, are safe for the treatment of upper GI cancers.

The aim of this study is to track tumor evolution of regional and distant metastases in gastric cancer using the Next Generation Sequencing technologies.
