Filter by:This study is to collect and validate regulatory-grade real-world data (RWD) in oncology using the novel, Master Observational Trial construct. This data can be then used in real-world evidence (RWE) generation. It will also create reusable infrastructure to allow creation or affiliation with many additional RWD/RWE efforts both prospective and retrospective in nature.
The study will review the use of massive segmental replacements in the femur, which have a porous collar with and without HA, and autologous stem cell augment. This is a randomised controlled trial.
GSK-3β is a potentially important therapeutic target in human malignancies. The Actuate 1801 Phase 1/2 study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 9-ING-41, a potent GSK-3β inhibitor, as a single agent and in combination with cytotoxic agents, in patients with refractory cancers.
This study was conducted to advance new treatment for patients with metastatic or locally advanced cancers expressing Neurotensin receptor 1 (NTSR1). This study was the first time the investigational drug called 177Lu-3BP-227 was administered to patients under controlled conditions of a clinical study. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how safe the investigational drug is as well to verify how well it is tolerated by patients after several intravenous administrations. In addition, the effect of the study drug on tumoral lesions and how it distributes throughout the body and at which rate it is removed from the body was evaluated. Since 177Lu-3BP-227 is a radio-labelled drug, it also measured how the emitted radiation is distributed throughout the body (dosimetry). The study consisted of a phase I dose escalation part. The study originally planned to include a phase II study however due to early termination (not due to safety concerns) the study did not progress to phase II and was stopped during phase I. For the phase I dose escalation part, it was anticipated that approximately 30 subjects will be included, in up to six escalation steps. No expansion cohorts were implemented.
Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are neural crest-derived tumors of the nervous system that are often inherited and genetically heterogeneous. Genetic screening is recommended for patients and their relatives, and can guide clinical decisions. However, a mutation is not found in all cases. The aims of this proposal are to: 1) to map gene(s) involved in pheochromocytoma, and 2) identify genotype-phenotype correlations in patients with pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma of various genetic origins.
Bone metastasis give rise to major complications that lead to significant morbidity and impairment of life quality. The most common primary for bone metastasis is prostate, lung and breast carcinoma. These three have the highest cancer incidence in the USA with up to 85% prevalence of bone metastases at the time of death. Pain from these osseous lesions can be related to mechanical or chemical factors. Pressure effects on the periosteum or adjacent neural structures can cause local or radiating pain. Hemorrhage from local bone osteolysis by osteoclastic activity causes a local release of bradykinin, prostaglandins, histamine and substance P that can irritate the endosteal nerves as well as local nerves. The life expectancy of patients with osseous metastatic disease is variable but can be substantially longer for patients with multiple myeloma, breast or prostate cancer. Therefore, finding an effective local therapy that can improve patient quality of life and can be done at a single outpatient sitting would be beneficial. The current and emerging treatments for osseous metastases may be considered in several categories: radiotherapy, systemic chemotherapy (cytotoxic, hormonal and radionuclides), surgical stabilization and percutaneous tumor ablation. These treatments may be applied in isolation but also frequently in combination. MRI Guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a completely non-invasive technology for thermal ablation. HIFU is capable of concentrating ultrasonic pressure waves to a specified region without any physical penetration of the body. The converging ultrasonic pressure wave is converted to thermal energy at the specific depth, resulting in local heating at the focus. Temperature elevation is proportional to the proton resonance frequency shift, therefore MR imaging provides accurate technique for target definition and energy deposition control. MRI guided Focused Ultrasound therapy is being performed in treatment of uterine leiomyomas (fibroids). Recently the method has gained both AMAR authorization and FDA approval, and CE approval for that indication. Clinical trials of HIFU in bone metastases have indicated that the method is safe and gives an effective reduction of patient pain. The short- and long-term effects on tumor volume and morphology do not seem to have been evaluated thus far. The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate effectiveness of MRI guided HIFU in the treatment of metastatic bone tumors
This research study is studying a form of radiation therapy called stereotactic body radiation therapy or SBRT as a possible treatment for Cancer that has spread to the spine or other bone
This study will explore the biologic activity of guanabenz in reducing bone turn over in solid tumor patients with bone metastasis. If successful, this repurposing of an already, generic drug could benefit patients faster than manufacturing a novel expensive compound.
This phase II trial studies how well therapeutic angiotensin-(1-7) works as second-line therapy or third-line therapy in treating patients with metastatic sarcoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Therapeutic angiotensin-(1-7) may stop the growth of sarcoma by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Funding Source - FDA Office of Orphan Drug Products (OOPD)
This clinical trial studies fluorine F-18 sodium fluoride positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in diagnosing bone tumors in patients with cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as fluorine F-18 sodium fluoride PET/CT, may help find and diagnose bone cancer
