Filter by:The objective of the SIM trial is to investigate whether using the Surefire Infusion System during holmium-166 radioembolization increases the posttreatment tumor to non-tumor activity concentration ratio, compared with using a standard end-hole microcatheter.
This open-label, single arm prospective cohort study will assess the safety of dabigatran etexilate in secondary prevention of venous thromboembolism in paediatric patients. Children from 0 to less than 18 years of age will be eligible to participate.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of regorafenib, an antiangiogenic drug, when combined with radioembolization using SIR-Spheres® microspheres in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) that has spread to the liver.
The main purpose of this study is to see whether addition of TPI 287 to FSRT is safe and tolerable. Researchers also want to find out if adding TPI 287 to FSRT can help with better controlling the growth of brain lesions in people with brain metastases from their cancer.
This is a Phase II study to determine the efficacy of SBRT to treat liver metastases in patients with Colorectal Adenocarcinoma, Carcinoma of the Anal Canal and Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors that are not amenable to surgery. Patients should have no evidence of extra-hepatic disease or have disease that is planned to be treated with curative intent. Therefore, SBRT is being considered as a potentially curative procedure.
The primary objective of A-PLUS trial is to evaluate and compare the efficacy of induction BEEP (bevacizumab preconditioning followed by etoposide and cisplatin) followed by whole bran radiotherapy (WBRT) with WBRT alone in the controlling of brain metastases (BM) in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients who have not previously received WBRT. In past 2 years, the research team has demonstrated that BEEP regimen is a highly effective treatment for brain metastases of breast cancer progressing from WBRT by a multi-center phase II study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01281696). The basic concept of preconditioning, as referred to starting bevacizumab 1 day before chemotherapy, is that the effect of bevacizumab induced tumor vascular normalization takes time to mature. The investigators hypothesized that as induction BEEP decreased the size of brain tumors, the effectiveness of WBRT would be maximized. The investigators expect this integrated approach will do greater benefit to MBC patients with BM, irrespective of subtype.
This open label 4 month study will evaluate efficacy (blood pressure lowering effects) and safety of lisinopril in children 1-18y whose parents grant permission to participate. This dose titration study is being conducted to support the statement that personalized titration of lisinopril (based on blood pressure and renin-aldosterone ratio) can increase patient response.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of sodium selenite when administered in combination with radiation therapy to subjects with metastatic cancer based on safety and tolerability.
Develop and optimize protocols for whole body MRI for detection of metastases. Evaluate diagnostic accuracy through application of optimized protocols for screening of cancer patients.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, radiation has on the lungs has on the patient and on synovial sarcoma which has spread to the lungs. The standard treatment for synovial sarcoma which has spread to the lungs is chemotherapy with or without surgery to remove the tumors in the lungs. However, tumors often come back in the lungs after chemotherapy and/or surgery. Since synovial sarcoma is known to be sensitive to radiation, this study is looking at whether radiation therapy which is targeted to the entire lung can further reduce the chances of the cancer returning. This type of radiation is commonly used in other types of sarcoma to treat the cancer once it has spread to the lungs and it may be very useful in synovial sarcoma as well. In this study, a special type of radiation will be used, called Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT). With IMRT the radiation beams are more customized to focus more radiation on the tumor cells while delivering less radiation to areas like the heart. The goal of this study is also to measure pulmonary toxicity and see if IMRT is feasible and has less toxicity.
