Filter by:Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic study that makes pictures of organs of the body using magnetic field and radio frequency pulses that can not be felt. The purpose of this study is to determine if new imaging methods can help tumor evaluation in the brain. The extra images will be obtained using diffusion and perfusion MRI techniques to assess early treatment response in patients with brain metastasis, and will be compared to methods currently being used.
In this study, the investigators assessed the effect of avastin in combination with chemotherapy in the treatment of RAS mutant-type, unresectable colorectal liver-limited metastases
The main purpose of this study is to determine the safety (defined as number of participants experiencing ≥ 5% toxicity at 12 months post treatment) of stereotactic ablative fractionated radiotherapy versus radiosurgery for oligometastatic neoplasia to the lung.
The aim of this study is to evaluate effectiveness of the Philips Sonalleve MR-HIFU device for the palliation of pain in patients with bone metastases. Magnetic Resonance Imaging-guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MR-HIFU) uses ultrasound to palliate pain caused by bone metastases. The main palliative mechanism of the method is due to local bone denervation, caused by the heat denaturation of the periosteum layer in the treated area. The importance of this therapy is that it offers a non-invasive, focal therapy, avoiding side-effects to surrounding normal tissue that occur with radiation therapy or the need for needle insertion as with radio-frequency(RF)ablation. The study hypothesis is that MR-HIFU will be effective in treating the pain associated with bone metastases
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cryoablation therapy used to treat tumors in participants with pulmonary metastatic disease. This study is to enroll participants who will undergo cryoablation of at least 1 metastatic pulmonary tumor that is less than or equal to 3.5 centimeter (cm). Participants will be followed 24 months post their cryoablation procedure.
This is a Phase 1a/b multicenter, open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation study to examine the dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of BPM31510 administered as a 144-hour continuous intravenous (IV) infusion as monotherapy(treatment Arm 1) and in combination with chemotherapy (treatment Arm 2) in patients with solid tumors.
This is a prospective study to document the local control rates with SBRT specifically for pulmonary metastases from soft tissue sarcoma. This study will prospectively document acute and late toxicity, quality of life (QoL), tumor control, and survival.
The incidence of brain metastases (BM) in metastatic breast cancer is increasing, due to the improvement in the control of systemic disease, and due to an improved detection through imagery. The treatment management of single BM remains controversial. Indeed, even though it is widely accepted that local treatment increases the median survival time in patients having a good prognostic status, the adding of "adjuvant" whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) is currently subject to controversy, due to its potential toxicity. Yet, two randomized trials have demonstrated a clear increase in intra-cerebral recurrence and in death from neurologic origin in case of absence of "adjuvant" WBRT, without change in overall survival (but overall survival was not a primary endpoint in any of these studies). The data from literature on cognitive toxicity (CT) of WBRT on BM are scarce and sometimes controversial. CT of WBRT affects the subcortical frontal functions. It is postulated that the alteration of hippocampal neurogenesis (mainly due to inflammation process), situated in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus, has an essential role in the development of these brain dysfunctions. It has been shown that the incidence of BM in the hippocampal region (hippocampus + 5mm expansion) is low, in the range of 8,6%. New irradiation techniques, in particular intensity-modulated radiotherapy associated with rotational radiotherapy, allow to modulate the dose on an intra-cerebral structure, all the while distributing an adapted dose to the remaining brain. This prospective, randomized study, will compare, through a battery of neuropsychological tests, the cognitive impact of WBRT of 40 Gy in 20 fractions with or without hippocampal avoidance by intensity modulated radiotherapy, in patients presenting with a single operated brain metastasis of breast cancer. If the hippocampal avoidance leads to a significant improvement in cognitive function, this radiotherapy scheme could become the standard postoperative treatment to be proposed to patients presenting the best prognostic factors. This would allow to prevent long-term cognitive deficit, while preserving WBRT benefit on intra-cerebral control. Justification of evaluation criteria : Principal criteria : Evaluation criteria to assess cognitive toxicity have been selected on the basis of the recommendations from C. Meyers and P. Brown, who propose an adapted test battery to evaluate memory, verbal function, visual and motor coordination, and executive function. The selected tests have been validated, also in French. They comprise HVLT-R (Hopkins Verbal Learning Test Revised), COWAT (Controlled Oral Word Association Test), Grooved Pegboard test, TMT A and B (Trailmaking tests A and B), and MMSE. The calculation of patient numbers was based on the HVLT-R test, as memory is thought to be the most frequently affected domain. The tests will be performed before treatment ("baseline" cognitive function), at 4 months and at 12 months. In case of a missing answer to the evaluation tests, the reason(s) for not answering will be noted. Secondary criteria : Quality of life : QLQ-C30, QLQ-BN20, ADL, IADL Intra-cerebral Progression-free survival (PFS) Overall survival.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of calcium electroporation on cutaneous metastases, and compare calcium electroporation with standard treatment: electrochemotherapy.
To demonstrate the superiority of paricalcitol treatment at early renal post-transplantation (M6) in the control of iPTH (Intact parathyroid hormone) compared to the use of vitamin D nutritional supplements (calcifediol) in patients with renal transplantation.
