Filter by:Microneurosurgical resection of intracerebral metastases leads to prolonged survival and relief of symptoms in selected patients. To minimize the risk of intracranial recurrence whole brain irradiation has been established as standard adjuvant treatment in those patients. Sector irradiation resembles a brain - tissue - sparing method by focusing the irradiation in the area of the tumor bed and a surrounding 1mm security margin. The aim of this study is to investigate whether adjuvant "sector""-irradiation following microsurgical resection is equal to adjuvant whole brain irradiation in terms of local control and superior to in terms of quality of life and neurocognitive deficits in a prospective randomized trial.
The primary goal of this study by The Polish Adult Leukemia Group (PALG) is to verify if individual therapeutic approach taking into account biological and phenotypic differences as well as response at the level of minimal residual disease is associated with improved outcome of adults with precursor lymphoid neoplasms
Gene transfer by electroporation (gene electrotransfer) uses short electric pulses to transiently permeabilise the cell membrane enabling passage of plasmid DNA into the cell cytosol. It is an efficient non-viral method for gene delivery to various tissues. In this phase I dose-escalating study, patients will be treated with intramuscular gene electrotransfer of plasmid AMEP. Plasmid AMEP encodes protein AMEP which bind to α5β1 og αvβ3 integrins. Primary end point of the trial is safety and secondary end points are efficacy, pharmacokinetics and evaluation of potential discomfort associated with the treatment procedure using VAS (Visual Analogue Scale).
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether taking either of two low dose drugs that would prevent new blood vessels from growing after stem cell transplant is feasible, and what the side effects of taking each of these drugs after autologous transplant might be. The reason the investigators are looking at these drugs is because one of the things that allows tumors to grow quickly is their ability to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels. By suppressing the growth of new blood vessels after stem cell transplant, the investigators hope to prevent the tumors from coming back or continuing to grow.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Tanibirumab in patients with advanced or metastatic cancer who are refractory or for whom there are no standard therapeutic option. - To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of Tanibirumab in such patients - To determine a recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of Tanibirumab based on above assessments
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of a 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and interferon, which is able to stimulate the immune system to kill cancer cells, will help to increase tumor shrinkage in previously-treated metastatic gastrointestinal, kidney, or lung Cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether bendamustine is effective in the treatment of initial treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).
Primary Objective: In the dose escalation: to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SAR125844. In the expansion cohort: to evaluate the preliminary anti-tumoral effect of SAR125844 in patients with measurable and MET gene amplification (including gastric cancer patients). Secondary Objectives: To characterize and confirm the global safety profile of SAR125844 including cumulative toxicities. To assess preliminary antitumor activity of SAR125844. To explore the pharmacodynamic effects (PDy) of SAR125844. To evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of SAR125844. To explore the relationship of MET gene amplification status with antitumor effects. To evaluate other pharmacodynamic biomarkers.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Tranexamic Acid is effective or not in the reduction of intraoperative bleeding loss in brain tumors resections.
The purpose of this study is to find a recommended dose level and schedule of dosing LY3023414 that can safely be taken by participants with advanced or metastatic cancer. The study will also explore the changes to various markers in blood cells and potentially tumor cells. Finally, the study will help document any antitumor activity this drug may have. In Part A of this study, participants with advanced/metastatic cancer (including lymphoma) will receive increasing doses of LY3023414. In Part B, LY3023414 will be explored in different types of cancer, including breast and lung cancer, lymphoma and mesothelioma.
