Filter by:This purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of FLASH radiotherapy for the palliative treatment of painful bone metastases. FLASH radiotherapy is radiation treatment delivered at ultra-high dose rates compared to conventional radiation treatment.
The aim of this study is to confirm in humans the relevance and the kinetics of radio-induced bio-markers in plasma and urines, previously described at the preclinical stage.
The purpose is to evaluate if sodium fluoride PET in patients having already undergone a choline PET negative for bone extension (non-metastatic status) modifies the status of patients concerning the existence or not of bone metastases. Secondary purposes are: - To evaluate if detection of bone metastasis by sodium fluoride PET, not detected by choline PET, leads to change of treatment - To evaluate inter-technique concordance (choline vs sodium fluoride PET) of results (metastatic status and number of lesions) - To evaluate the inter-judge concordance of interpretation of sodium fluoride PET - To study the discordance of metastatic status of 2 techniques.
Prospective, monocentric, comparative, non randomised Primary objective : - to compare the diagnostic accuracy of sodium fluoride PET-CT and MRI using the conventional block and diffusion sequence in the search for bone metastases Secondary objectives : - compare accuracy of MRI diffusion and conventional MRI - explore the evolution of the results of the different types of imaging over time or under treatment for patients with repeated examinations at 6 months
Bone metastasis causes bone destruction and skeletal related events (SRE) including compression fracture, hypercalcemia, and spinal cord compression. Therefore, palliative treatments for pain control and local control have become important and multidisciplinary multimodality approach is needed for treatment of bone metastasis. The efficacy of radiotherapy (RT) for bone metastasis is well known. And the results that bisphosphonate decreases SRE in patients with solid tumor and multiple myeloma reported. In previous retrospective reports, the combination of local RT and systemic bisphosphonate was more effective than RT alone. Therefore, Investigators designed a phase II study to evaluate the efficacy of RT in combination with zoledronic acid on pain relief and the safety of RT in bone metastasis patients with gastrointestinal tumors.
Up to 180 patients with bone metastasis and requiring analgesic treatment will be followed during 4 to 10 weeks. All patients will continue to receive their cancer therapeutic treatments and be treated for pain relief exactly as they would normally be by the Investigator based on their needs. During their regular visits to the Investigator, patients will complete questionnaires and Clinical Pain Assessments.
Rationale: Bone metastases arise in 50% of all patients dying from carcinoma, increasing up to 70% in patients with breast and prostate cancer. The lesions can cause pain and fractures, leading to diminished quality of life and poorer survival. Current knowledge concerning adequate, personalized treatment of metastatic lesions of the long bones in patients with disseminated cancer is insufficient and inconclusive due to lack of large, prospective series with patient reported outcome measures. Objective: The OPTIMAL cohort aims to describe the quality of life and pain perception of patients after local treatment (radiotherapy and/or surgery) of metastases of the long bones, for both the entire cohort as well as for specific treatments separately. With this a more personalized treatment for metastases in the long bones based on expected survival and impending fracture risk can be provided in order to improve functioning and the quality of life for the remaining lifetime in patients with disseminated cancer. Study design: Observational, prospective, multicentre cohort study. Study population: All patients with metastases of the long bones visiting a radiation oncologist or orthopaedic surgeon. Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary endpoints are patient reported quality of life (including functioning) and pain levels. Complications and survival are secondary endpoints. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Patients in the OPTIMAL cohort will perhaps not directly benefit from their participation. Participation will contribute to deriving patient-specific treatment modalities for future patients with bone metastases of the long bones. Risks associated with participation in the prospective cohort are considered negligible due to the observational nature of the study. The burden for the patients lies in completion of questionnaires, which is considered to be in proportion with the potential value of this research.
This study evaluates MBC-11 (a conjugate of a bone-targeting vehicle (etidronate) and a cytostatic agent [ara-C] in patients with malignant tumors with CIBD. This is a first use in human.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether tanezumab is effective in the treatment of cancer pain due to bone metastasis in patients already taking background opioid therapy.
This study will give comparison of the bone pain remission and the adverse reaction of Zoledronic acid combine with High dose fractionation radiotherapy(30Gy/10f) and Zoledronic acid combine with low dose fractionation radiotherapy(15Gy/5f) . The purpose of this trial is to prove whether Zoledronic acid combine radiotherapy can reduce radiotherapy dose in treatment of non-small cell lung cancer bone metastasis'pain relief or not.
