Active clinical trials for "Neoplasm Metastasis"

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of liver stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) given in combination with systemic therapy (ipilimumab and nivolumab) in adults with metastatic melanoma with liver metastases who are at significant risk of not benefiting from systemic therapy alone.

Metastatic disease to the bone is a common cause of pain. External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) is the standard palliative treatment BUT pain improvement is observed in 60% to 80%. Combination of hyperthermia (HT) with radiation is strongly compelling. MR is providing accurate, tissue-independent thermometry for intra-procedural guidance of thermal therapy. In this project we aim to combine in an adjuvant setting mild hyperthermia to EBRT for sustained relief of pain in patients with symptomatic bone metastases.

The purpose of this research is to look at the safety and effectiveness of a HER2-targeted therapy neratinib when given with capecitabine, a chemotherapy, for breast cancer patients with brain metastases whose tumors were HER2-negative by standard tests but showed abnormal HER2 activity based on the CELsignia results.

The study has 2 parts. The first part is open to adults with different types of advanced cancer (solid tumours with changes in the HER2 gene) for whom previous treatment was not successful. The second part is open to people with non-small cell lung cancer with a specific mutation in the HER2 gene. The purpose of the first study part is to find the highest dose of a medicine called BI 1810631 the participants can tolerate. Once this dose is found, it will be used in the second study part to tests whether BI 1810631 can make tumours shrink. In this study, BI 1810631 is given to people for the first time. Participants take BI 1810631 as tablets once a day or twice a day. The participants are in the study for as long as they benefit from and can tolerate treatment. Study doctors regularly check the participants' health and monitor the tumours. The doctors also take note of any unwanted effects that could have been caused by BI 1810631.

Immunotherapy treatments are intended to boost a person's immune system to fight their cancer. Treatment with immunotherapy has been shown to be effective in a wide range of cancers, including melanoma skin cancer, lung cancer and kidney cancer, among others. Steroids are anti-inflammatory medications which may suppress the immune system. For this reason, persons requiring treatment with steroids have not previously been allowed to participate in immunotherapy clinical trials. Therefore, we do not know whether or not immunotherapy treatments are effective in patients who are also receiving treatment with steroids. When cancer has spread to the brain swelling may occur around the tumors, and headache, nausea, seizures or stroke-like symptoms may occur. In this instance, steroids are important to reduce swelling within the brain, thus alleviating these symptoms. Because patients requiring treatment with steroids have not previously been allowed to participate in immunotherapy clinical trials, we do not know whether treatment with immunotherapy is effective when steroid treatments are also used. This study will investigate this question, and also attempt to determine whether treatment with one steroid versus another results in a better response to immunotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether AGuIX (Activation and Guidance of Irradiation by X-ray) gadolinium-based nanoparticles make radiation work more effectively in the treatment of patients with brain metastases that are more difficult to control with stereotactic radiation alone.

To examine radio frequency ablation as a treatment supplement to stimulate immunogenicity and improve survival for patients undergoing curative-intent surgery for colorectal liver metastases.

This clinical trial is evaluating a drug called ART4215 in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The main goals of this study are to: Find the recommended dose of ART4215 that can be given safely to participants alone and in combination with talazoparib Learn more about the side effects of ART4215 alone and in combination with talazoparib Learn more about the effectiveness of ART4215 alone and in combination with talazoparib Learn more about the effectiveness of ART4215 alone and in combination with niraparib

This research is being done to see how effective the drug niraparib is against cancer that has metastasized to the central nervous system (CNS). This research study involves the study drug niraparib.
