Filter by: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 pilot clinical trial studies combined fluorine F 18 sodium fluoride (NaF)/ fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in measuring response to a drug, radium Ra 223 dichloride (Ra-223), in treating patients with prostate cancer that has not responded to hormone therapy and has spread to other parts of the body. Combining NaF/FDG in a simultaneous PET/MRI scan may help doctors accurately measure how well patients respond to treatment with radium Ra 223 dichloride.
This clinical trial studies dual energy computed tomography (CT) in finding cancer that has spread from the original (primary) tumor to the bone (bone metastases) in patients with cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as dual energy CT, may help find and diagnose bone metastases and may be more accurate compared to single energy CT alone.
Massive bone tumour resection is often associated with important postoperative bleeding. This may determine systemic (anaemia), as well as local complications (wound healing, seroma, haematoma). The objective of this study is to determine whether the use of topical tranexamic acid or topical Evicel® will reduce the perioperative bleeding comparing it with usual haemostasis.
This pilot clinical trial studies cryosurgery and radiation therapy in treating patients with painful bone metastases. Cryosurgery kills tumor cells by freezing them. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other types of radiation to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving cryosurgery together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Philips Sonalleve Magnetic Resonance Imaging-guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MR-HIFU) device for treating painful bone metastases.
The giant cell tumor (GTC) is an aggressive benign bone tumor, growing at the metaphyseal-epiphyseal regions of long bones, especially around the knee and the distal radius.It is responsible for bony destruction in para-articular zone fracture and leading to the breakdown and destruction of the underlying joint. Histologically, the tumor cell contains a contingent of monocytic cells round, a contingent of giant type cell of type osteoclastic responsible for bone resorption that accompanies these tumors and a contingent of lengthened cells fibroblast-like considered to be contingent tumor. The treatment is exclusively surgical; or by resection of the lesion which takes away tumour and its environment, solution which, if it prevents local recurrence, imposes an important bony and articular reconstruction, always limited and deteriorating rapidly over time in these young patients; or by curettage of lesion, by "hollowing-out" of the bone, creating a hole which it will be necessary to fill up by a bony grafting or a substitute of the bone (cement). This last solution, if it preserves a better function, exposes at risk of local recurrence,putting into play the prognosis of articulation near, most often the knee.Despite different local adjuvants treatments used during surgical operation, after having curetted the cavity and before filling it up, the recidivism rates vary from 12 % to 41 % (average 25 %) in literature. The beneficial effect of the adjuvants therapeutics suggests the concept broadly accepted by a tumoral microscopic residual at the origin of the local recidivism .Biphosphonates (BP) is molecules which settle in vivo on the hydroxyapatite of the bone; they inhibit the recruitment of the osteoclast forerunners and the activity of mature osteoclast. Besides, biphosphonates containing some nitrogen (N-BP), leads to the apoptose of mature osteoclast. These molecules also have a direct effect on tumor cells , causing apoptosis of neoplastic cells of myeloma, of breast cancer. Clinical controlled studies confirm the experimental data of N-BP. Two work also showed their effect on osteoclasts and stroma cells of tumours with giant cells but no clinical study assessed potential on the prevention of the local recurrence. The investigators offer a study phase 2 of the effectiveness of N-BP (acid zoledronique) on the prevention of the local recurrence of tumours with primary huge cells after surgical treatment by curettage - filing by a surgeon referent in oncologic orthopedic surgery. Number of patients: 24
The purpose of this study is to look at the effects of cabozantinib on castrate-resistant prostate cancer metastatic (cancer that has spread to other parts of the body) to the bone and to learn about any side effects caused by taking cabozantinib.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of hydroxychloroquine in treating patients with solid tumors undergoing radiation therapy for bone metastases. Drugs, such as hydroxychloroquine, may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy
The outcome of patients with metastatic Ewings Sarcoma is poor with current standard of care chemotherapy, with less than 30% survival. Based on recent encouraging pediatric literature we have designed this trial to improve the outcome of patients with metastatic Ewings sarcoma using Irinotecan and Temozolomide in addition to standard chemotherapy.
