Filter by:It is known that radiation damages lung tissue. New human studies at University of Iowa show that the radiation damage is not as expected. The purpose of this study is to document lung function using four-dimensional computed tomography (CT) and quantify changes three months after radiation therapy for malignant lung disease.
The HEPAR study is aimed at determining the safety of radioactive holmium containing microspheres for the treatment of tumors in the liver. These microspheres will be administered by infusion in the liver artery using a arterial catheter in the femoral artery.
Primary Operation in synchronous metastasized invasive breast cancer to evaluate the use of local therapy
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such MLN1202, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well MLN1202 works in treating patients with bone metastases.
XMT-1107 has been shown in nonclinical studies to slow the growth of tumors. These effects may result from blocking the growth of new blood vessels that help the tumors survive.
The main purpose of this study is to determine if AZD8931 can be safely administered in Japanese patients alone and in combination with weekly paclitaxel. The study will be conducted in two parts: a monotherapy and a combination part, where safe doses of study treatment will be determined.
This phase II trial studies how well giving liposomal cytarabine and high-dose methotrexate works in treating patients with breast cancer that has spread to the central nervous system. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal cytarabine and methotrexate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving liposomal cytarabine with high-dose methotrexate may kill more tumor cells.
This study is a exploratory comparison of the efficacy and safety of paricalcitol injection with maxacalcitol injection in chronic kidney disease participants receiving hemodialysis with secondary hyperparathyroidism.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum dose of sunitinib that can be tolerated when treatment is combined with radiotherapy. Patients who decide to take part in the study will start taking sunitinib alone for 7 days. On the seventh day of taking sunitinib, patients will be given stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). The dose of radiation that patients will receive when they are given SRS is a standard dose used to help shrink brain metastases. The dose of radiation and the way it is delivered is not experimental. Patients will then continue to take sunitinib seven days per week after SRS, and depending on how far along the study is when they join, they may continue taking the drug for up to 13 weeks after SRS. Patients will undergo weekly assessment during study treatment.
The pathworks tissue of origin test is a microarray-based test with the goal of identifying the tissue of origin in patients with metastatic tumors of unknown primary site.
