Filter by:This is a phase Ib/II, multicenter, single-arm, open-label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JMT103 in patients with surgically unsalvageable or refractory giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB).
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of single dose of GB223 in healthy subjects; the secondary objective is to evaluate the immunogenicity and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles of single dose of GB223 in healthy subjects.
Bone metastases represent a frequent complication of some solid tumours, particularly prostate, breast and lung carcinomas. Bone metastases can cause pain and give rise to the so-called "Skeletal-related Events" (SRE) such as pathological fractures and nerve compression. Despite advances in cancer treatment in general, treatment options for bone metastases remain inadequate and generally palliative. It is therefore necessary to identify patients at "high risk" of developing metastases at an early stage of neoplastic disease in order to counteract it. Therefore, the identification of changes in the expression of proteins that could be variously involved in the progression of breast cancer is of primary importance since they could act as prognostic factors and therefore address the therapeutic strategy. The aim of the investigators is to clarify the role of de-regulation of post-translational events (such as SUMOylation) in the progression of breast cancer.
The great promise of PET/MR for assessment of skeletal metastatic involvement is derived from the extensive experience with stand- alone MR, but initial data on the use of PET/MR for assessment of bone pathology indicate that PET/MR introduces unique issues that should be addressed when determining its role in this clinical scenario. In this study cohort includes 150 patients 18 years or older, having metastatic skeletal involvement on baseline PET/CT prior to treatment. Baseline studies and follow up studies of the patients referred post treatment, will be reviewed. The main goal of the study is to asses the accuracy of PET/MR in detection and monitoring response of bone metastases.
Bone radioiodine (RAI) uptake without structural abnormality in thyroid cancer (TC) patients may be related to false positive or to microscopic foci of metastatic tissue. In such cases, outcome is reported to be excellent. Indeed, Robenshtok et al. reported a serie of patients with RAI-avid bone metastases of TC without structural abnormality on imaging studies who have more favorable long-term prognosis than those harbouring structurally visible bone metastases and do not undergo skeletal-related complications. The investigators report the case of Mrs D., who had been operated for a pathologic tumor stage 3: pT3(m) poorly differentiated TC at the age of 43. The first post-therapeutic whole body scan revealed 3 foci of bone uptake (right clavicle, L2, L3). The elevated level of thyroglobulin (157ng/mL) favoured the hypothesis of bone metastases despite the absence of any structural lesion on CT and MRI. She received 7 courses of radioiodine therapy. The right clavicle RAI uptake persisted, and subsequent CT disclosed an osteolytic lesion which was treated by radiofrequency and external beam radiation. Twenty-five years after the diagnosis, she has a persistent morphological disease with a 30x8mm progressive lesion on the right clavicle, for which surgery is planned. The aim of the present study is to describe the natural history and evolution of radioiodine avid bone metastases from thyroid cancer without structural abnormalities and to identify prognosis factors.
The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of post-operative radiation therapy in lower extremity bone metastases. This trial will compare the health outcomes of patients receiving radiation therapy after Orthopaedic surgery to patients who will not receive radiation therapy post-surgery. The primary objective of the study is to compare the need for a subsequent surgery at the same treatment site within 12 months of the initial surgery. Additionally, the need for radiation or re-irradiation, functional status, performance status, pain scores, radiologically detected local disease progression, and overall length of survival will be compared at clinical endpoints for the two study arms. It is hypothesized that those randomized to receive post-operative radiation therapy will less likely need a subsequent surgery within the 12 months after the primary surgical intervention. This may optimize the quality of life for this patient population.
The aim of the present observational study is to evaluate and describe the evolution over time of the fatigue and the quality of life of patients with bone tumor, in Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute, Chemotherapy ward, during the chemotherapy treatment and in the first phase of follow-up and to identify possible prognostic factors. Such knowledge is a necessary precondition for identifying patients and the periods most at risk due to the onset of fatigue, so as to be able to hypothesize adequate containment strategies.
The aim of this study is to detect bone metastases by PET/CT examination in cancer patients.
The purpose of the presented study is to translate the English Bt-DUX (Bt-DUX-Eng) questionnaire into the Italian language and then examine the validity of the Italian version of the Bt-DUX (Bt-DUX-It).
In the present study, we will prospectively evaluate the pain response and treatment failure rate to determine the most favorable radiation dose in single fraction stereotactic radiotherapy using the modern highly conformal technique for bone metastases. Our findings should be able to provide evidence-based recommendation to support the utilization of single fraction radiotherapy for value-based oncology practice.
