Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of a cone beam CT to measure bone healing.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of dasatinib and Zometa (zoledronic acid) that can be given in combination for the treatment of breast cancer that has spread to the bone. The safety and effectiveness of this combination will also be studied.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of AZD0530 on subjects with breast cancer or prostate cancer with metastatic bone disease in comparison to zoledronic acid.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and prednisolone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Zoledronic acid may help relieve some of the symptoms caused by bone metastases. Radioactive substances, such as strontium chloride Sr 89, may help relieve bone pain caused by prostate cancer. Giving docetaxel together with prednisolone with or without zoledronic acid and/or strontium chloride Sr 89 may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving docetaxel together with prednisolone works with or without zoledronic acid and/or strontium chloride Sr 89 in treating patients with prostate cancer metastatic to bone that has not responded to hormone therapy.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of Zometa (zoledronic acid, 1 mg per week versus 4 mg every four weeks) on the circulating vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in breast cancer patients with bone metastases. Sixty patients will be randomized into two groups.
Highly selective irradiation requires accurate target definition by high-resolution three-dimensional imaging. Co-registration of FDG-PET and high-resolution CT might be the imaging modality of choice. This choice might target radiation therapy precisely to the intra-osseous volume that is responsible for pain and to spare selectively healthy bone in the vicinity of the metastasis. This strategy could result in equal anti-pain efficacy as conventional large volume radiotherapy, but could allow bone remodeling and preservation of bone structural strength in the vicinity and could lead to reduced toxicity to neighboring organs.
This single arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of loading doses of intravenous Bondronat in patients with breast cancer and malignant bone disease experiencing moderate to severe bone pain. Patients will receive an intravenous infusion of 6mg Bondronat on days 1, 2 and 3. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3 months, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
This study will examine the response rate and the 6-month progression-free survival rates of subjects with advanced sarcoma treated with dasatinib.
This study is designed to monitor the safety and efficacy of long-term treatment with zoledronic acid by assessing the incidence of, renal impairment, osteonecrosis of the jaw(ONJ), overall safety and skeletal related events (SREs) beyond 12 months treatment
To determine how safe and effective denosumab is in treating patients with giant cell tumor of bone.
