Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of a vaccine therapy in treating patients with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Vaccines made from a gene-modified virus may kill tumor cells expressing a gene called neurofibromin 1 (NF1) without affecting surrounding normal cells and may also help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well palliative radiation therapy works in reducing pain in patients with cancer that has spread from the original (primary) tumor to the bone (bone metastasis). Palliative radiation therapy using external beam radiation therapy may help patients with bone metastasis to relieve symptoms and reduce pain caused by cancer.
The main purpose of this study is assess the safety and tolerability of MSB0011359C. Study consists of dose-escalation part and an expansion part in subjects with metastatic or locally advanced solid tumors, for which no standard effective therapy exists or a standard therapy has failed.
A single arm study: Apatinib plus paclitaxel as the reverses treatment in advanced gastric cancer which paclitaxel-resistant.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of nivolumab when giving together with stereotactic radiosurgery or whole brain radiotherapy with or without ipilimumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may cause less damage to normal tissue. Radiation therapy, such as whole-brain radiotherapy, uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving nivolumab together with stereotactic radiosurgery or whole brain radiotherapy with or without ipilimumab may work better in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain.
To characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of anetumab ravtansine in subjects with advanced solid cancers and with different degrees of hepatic or renal impairment
The aim of the present study is to determine the frequency and to identify main risk factors for venous thromboembolism of venous thromboembolic complications in a population of cancer patients treated with a curative intent by ionizing radiation.
This study assesses computed tomography (CT) perfusion imaging in predicting treatment response in patients with non-small cell lung cancer or tumors that have spread from the primary site (place where it started) to the lungs (metastases) treated with stereotactic ablative radiation therapy. CT perfusion imaging is a special type of CT that uses an injected dye in order to see how blood flow through tissues, including lung tissue. CT perfusion imaging of the lungs may help doctors learn whether perfusion characteristics of lung tumors may be predictive of response to treatment and whether lung perfusion characteristics can be used to follow response to treatment.
Background: The number of people who get tumors of the brain or central nervous system (CNS) is lower than other cancers. But these tumors cause a higher rate of serious effects and even death. Researchers want to test existing samples of tissue from these tumors to learn more about them. This may lead to better treatment. Objective: To study stored samples of CNS tumors to learn more about the tumors and explore new ways to diagnose them. Eligibility: The study will use tissue samples already collected at NIH from people with brain or CNS tumors. Design: The participants will have given their consent in a previous study. Researchers will review the tissue samples and any data collected about them. Researchers will do lab tests and scans on the samples. All data will be kept secure.
Computerized tomography-guided Celiac plexus neurolysis has become a popular technique. As, it has Cross-section imaging system to avoids anatomic structures injury, it has high density resolution that clearly display the retro-peritoneal anatomic structures ,it allow an optimal puncture site selection and measured the angle and depth of the needle insertion accurately with display the range of the neurolytic agent diffusion
