Filter by:To evaluate the survival benefit of pre-operation chemotherapy of primary tumor tesection (PTR) compared upfront PTR for colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with an asymptomatic resectable primary tumor and synchronous unresectable liver-limited metastases with conversion therapy intent.
Purpose: This study is a single-arm, open-label phase II clinical trial testing the hypothesis that daily everolimus plus weekly vinorelbine and trastuzumab will be effective, safe, and tolerable among patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer brain metastases. Once enrolled, patients will receive everolimus PO daily in combination with weekly intravenous (IV) vinorelbine and trastuzumab. Cycles will be repeated every 3 weeks (21 days). At the time of progression, patients will come off study. Participants: Up to 35 adults over 21 with HER-2 positive breast cancer that has metastasized to the brain.
This randomized phase III trial is studying how well Caphosol rinse works in preventing mucositis in young patients undergoing autologous or donor stem cell transplant. Supersaturated calcium phosphate (Caphosol) rinse may be able to prevent mucositis, or mouth sores, in patients undergoing stem cell transplant.
The goal of this Phase 1 clinical research study is to find the highest safe dose of BIND-014 that can be given in the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic cancer.
Tamoxifen is a classical treatment for breast metastatic cancer after 3rd generation anti-aromatase hormonotherapy in adjuvant or in metastatic line. The Tamoxifen efficacy is lowered by the hormonoresistance mechanisms due to the primary use of the anti-aromatases. The Pi3K-AKT-mTor pathway is frequently associated to the hormonoresistance mechanisms. This study is aimed to check if the inhibition of this signal transduction pathway by a synthetic mTor inhibitor (Everolimus) could improve the efficacy of the Tamoxifen.
Usually the treatment of a single brain metastasis is surgery or Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS). Surgery involves resection of the brain tumor by means of an operation, whereas SRS is treatment consisting of highly focused radiation doses to the tumor. These two treatment modalities are both widely used, well established, and proven to improve survival, but so far, no study has been done to directly compare the efficacy of one over the other. Neither treatment in itself is considered to be experimental and both have been shown to provide benefits to patients with metastatic brain tumors. The aim of this study is to determine which two modalities are better for local control and improving quality of life. Patients who consent to this study will be randomized to either receive surgery or Radiosurgery in the treatment of single brain metastases. The study seeks to recruit 12 patient to each group. Patients will be in this study for up to five years from the time of the treatment finished. This will include follow-up visits at 4 weeks after the procedure and then every 3 months after the procedure up to 5 years.
Patients with new or recurrent spine metastases are currently treated with low doses of radiation delivered in up to ten treatments (wide-field radiation therapy). Stererotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is a technique in which high doses of radiation targeted precisely to the metastases to be treated are administered in a small number of sessions, thus reducing the radiation damage to the surrounding tissue and areas of the spine. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of spine SBRT as an alternative to conventional radiation for patients with no prior radiation, prior radiation, and in the post-operative patient
The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of cinacalcet after a single oral dose in children aged 28 days to less than 6 years with chronic kidney disease receiving dialysis.
PURPOSE: Cetuximab with platinum and 5FU is now the standard combination as first-line treatment in patients with metastatic or recurrent Head and Neck squamous cell carcinomas. Cetuximab and taxane combinations have demonstrated promising activity in Head and Neck cancer. This phase II trial is studying new cetuximab, docetaxel and cisplatin combination named TPEx as first-line treatment in this setting.
This non-interventional, epidemiological study assesses long-term outcomes in subjects receiving immunoglobulins (IgG) for any treatment purpose, irrespective of the regimen prescribed by the treating physician, under routine clinical conditions in Germany. Long-term outcome data are collected on patient characteristics in the various indications, drug utilization of intravenous and subcutaneous IgG (e.g. treatment and dosing patterns), effectiveness (i.e. number of infections), tolerability, health related quality of life, and economic variables (number of hospitalizations, sick-leave days etc.) with the possibility to estimate direct costs.
