Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of single-agent regorafenib in the second-line treatment in metastatic colorectal cancer with any RAS or BRAF mutation previously treated with FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab in terms of progression-free survival at 6 months.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate cost-utility analysis in order to provide recommendations to French decision-makers between vertebroplasty and radiation therapy in Bone spine metastases. Indeed, radiation therapy is often advocated a systematic way. The object of this study would be to expand the use of vertebroplasty. Moreover, this study assess to the strategy impact on the pain control reduction and functional preservation. In fact, analgesic effect is achieved differently depending on the procedure used.Eligible patients will be recruited and registered consecutively. Patients will be randomly, This is a health-economic multicenter, prospective, randomized with stratification according to number of vertebrae to treat (1-3 vertebrae vs 4-6 vertebrae) and center : - Arm A: Percutaneous vertebroplasty - Arm B: External radiotherapy This is an open-label study. The expected total study period is 2.5 years (enrolment: 2 years, patient follow-up: 6 months). A total number of 304 patients with spine metastases will be recruited (152 patients/arm).
This study seeks to learn more about the vitamin D receptor and its relationship to colon cancer. The Vitamin D receptor is found in colon cancer cells. When Vitamin D binds to the receptor in the cancer cells, it may stop cancer cells from growing abnormally and may cause cancer cell death. Vitamin D has been used in other research studies and information from those other research studies suggests that Vitamin D may help in the treatment of colon cancer. Participants will receive either high-dose vitamin D or standard-dose vitamin D. The study drug will be given 14-28 days prior to your surgery. The number of days will depend on when the surgery is scheduled.
Phase I: Determine the maximum tolerated dose of combination of Regorafenib with Refametinib through a dose escalation study, all tumor types that meet certain inclusion/exclusion criteria can be entered. After the recommended dose is determined, the Phase II portion of the study will evaluate tolerability and efficacy of the combination treatment in patients with breast cancer, lung cancer, or colorectal cancer, respectively.
To determine whether stereotactic radiosurgery of metastatic spinal cord compression is equivalent to decompressive surgery followed by external body radiation therapy to maintain ability to walk at 6 weeks.
Patients suffering from histologically or cytologically confirmed stage IV lung or breast cancer with progressive or recurrent brain metastases after prior external beam radiotherapy will receive treatment with cabazitaxel until progression of brain metastases (BM) or unacceptable toxicity.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if 1 large dose of radiation therapy is better at controlling pain from cancer that has spread to the bones than 10 smaller doses of radiation. Researchers also want to learn if 1 large dose of radiation therapy can help decrease the use of drugs to control the pain, and if it can help to control the disease.
Colorectal cancer patients with initially unresectable liver-only metastases may be cured after downsizing of metastases by neoadjuvant systemic therapy. However, the optimal neoadjuvant induction regimen has not been defined, and no consensus exist on criteria for resectability. In this study colorectal cancer patients with initially unresectable liver-only metastases, as prospectively confirmed by an expert panel according to predefined criteria, will be tested for RAS and BRAF tumor mutation status and selected by location of primary tumor. Patients with RAS or BRAF mutant and/or right sided tumors will be randomised between doublet chemotherapy (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) plus bevacizumab (schedule 1), and triple chemotherapy (FOLFOXIRI) plus bevacizumab (schedule 2). Patients with RAS AND BRAF wildtype AND left-sided primary tumors will be randomized between doublet chemotherapy (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) plus either bevacizumab (schedule 1) or panitumumab (schedule 3). Patient imaging will be reviewed for resectability by a central panel, consisting of at least one radiologist and three surgeons every assessment. Central panel review will be performed prior to randomization as well as during treatment, as described in the protocol.
The patients carrying a complicated primary lung cancer brain metastases die in less than 3 months of delay disease in the absence of treatment. The median survival of these patients is approximately six months when the treatment associated with radiotherapy chemotherapy based on cisplatin is now the standard treatment. In most studies the patients die of their brain disease in one case only two, so it is likely that some patients do not require brain irradiation (prognosis in this case is linked to extra-cerebral disease ). The benefits for patients in group B (without systematic irradiation) are not to suffer the side effects of this radiation. The risks are in the same group to see brain metastases become symptomatic. The role of cerebral radiotherapy in the patients treated with chemotherapy is unclear: should all patients be irradiated systematically (since the "reference" treatment is involved and with the aim of obtaining better control of the brain lesions and maintaining a better neurological status) or should only the patients showing cerebral progression be irradiated (avoidance of possibly useless brain radiotherapy and its side effects). The aim of this study is to better determine the position of cerebral radiotherapy in this context. Main objective: determine whether there is a difference in terms of progression-free survival between a therapeutic strategy with initial systematic brain radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy cis-platine/alimta + / - Bevacizumab and strategy with an initial chemotherapy cis-platine/alimta + / - Bevacizumab associated with brain radiotherapy only in cases of cerebral progression in patients with NSCLC with asymptomatic brain metastases
The purpose of this study is to evaluate in vitro the potential of peptides, to modify, phenotypically and functionally, the monocyte-derived dendritic cells of patients with metastatic cancer.
