Active clinical trials for "Paraganglioma"

This is an open-label phase II study of an investigational drug, sunitinib malate in patients with advanced malignant paraganglioma or phaeochromocytoma cancer. Paragangliomas (PGs) are tumours that arise from the para-sympathetic system in the head and neck and sympathetic system in the thorax and abdomen. Paragangliomas that secrete hormones (catecholamines) from the adrenal glands are called pheochromocytomas (PCs). In this study, patients whose disease has advanced or spread despite prior standard therapy, will receive sunitinib for 4-weeks followed by a 2-week rest period, for up to 12 months, in the absence of disease progression. Sunitinib is an investigational drug, which has been shown to shrink tumours in several tumour models. The study will evaluate the efficacy as well as the toxicity profile of sunitinib when used as an alternative treatment for patients with PG/PC tumours.

The FIRSTMAPPP study is a randomized, double-blind, phase II, international, multicenter study which aims to determine the efficacy of Sunitinib on the progression-free survival at 12 months in subjects with progressive malignant pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma treated with sunitinib at a starting dose of 37.5 mg daily (continuous dosing).

This phase II trial studies how well linsitinib works in treating younger and adult patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Linsitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether iobenguane I 131 is safe and effective in patients with malignant pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma.

This study will evaluate the local control rate as well as acute and late toxicity rates of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for the treatment of spine metastases and benign spine tumors.

The investigators will retrospectively analyze the clinical data of consecutive patients with pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas admitted between January 2018 and June 2020. The clinical characteristics of patients with and without dysglycemia will be compared, and whether surgery could improve the patients'dysglycemia will be also investigated.

Determine the safety and effectiveness of Lu-177 DOTATOC in adult subjects with somatostatin receptor-expressing Pulmonary, Pheochromocytoma, Paraganglioma, Unknown primary, and Thymus neuroendocrine tumors or any other non-.GEP-NET. The treatment regimen will consist of 4 doses of 200 (±10%) mCi 177Lu-DOTATOC administered at 8+/- 1-week intervals.

This is a Phase I/II peptide receptor radiotherapy (PRRT) trial of 177Lu-DOTA-OCTREOTATE in children and adolescents with neuroendocrine tumors and pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma.

The phase I trial aims to determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of vandetanib in combination with standard radiation therapy, 131I-mIBG, in patients with advanced phaeochromocytoma (phaeo) and paraganglioma (PG) by assessing the safety and tolerability of the combination treatment.

This phase II trial studies how well 177Lu-DOTATATE works in treating patients with rare endocrine cancers that have spread from where they started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), spread to other places in the body (metastatic), or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Radioactive drugs, such as 177Lu-DOTATATE, may carry radiation directly to cancer cells and not harm normal cells. 177Lu-DOTATATE may help to control endocrine cancers compared to standard treatment.
