An Investigational Scan (Intravoxel Incoherent Motion Diffusion Weighted Imaging) for the Evaluation of Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases Treatment Response
This trial evaluates the treatment response of colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver (liver metastases) using intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion weighted imaging (IVIM DWI). IVIM DWI is new kind of imaging scan that may help measure changes in disease before and after chemotherapy in patients with colorectal liver …
Electroacupuncture for Dysmenorrhea Secondary to Adenomyosis
The aim of this study is to preliminarily evaluate the is to assess the effects and safety of electroacupuncture for moderate to severe dysmenorrhea secondary to adenomyosis.
18F-FSPG PET in Imaging Patients With Liver Cancer Before Undergoing Surgery or Transplant
This clinical trial studies fluorine F 18 L-glutamate derivative BAY94-9392 (18F-FSPG) positron emission tomography (PET) in imaging patients with liver cancer before undergoing surgery or transplant. Diagnostic procedures, such as 18F-FSPG PET, may help find and diagnose liver cancer and find out how far the disease has spread.
Efficacy of Angiographic Embolization vs Non-embolization of Moderate/Poor Vascularized Vertebral Metastases on Intraoperative Bleeding During Surgery Decompression and Vertebral Stabilization.
Although angiographic embolization has been introduced for preoperative management of spine metastases in 1975 and is suggested today by many authors in the management of such pathologies, it needs to be confirmed by RCT. It is a minimally invasive procedure, not free from complications. The recent meta-analyzes, due to the …
Early Radiotherapy Versus Observation for High-risk Asymptomatic or Minimally Symptomatic Bone Metastases
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether radiotherapy (i.e. treatment with ionizing radiation to destroy cancer cells) can prevent symptoms in patients with metastatic cancer, having high-risk bone metastases that currently result in no or only mild symptoms. High-risk bone metastases are bone metastases at high-risk of …
PIPAC for Peritoneal Metastases
Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a novel drug delivery system that allows the direct application of chemotherapeutic agents into the peritoneal cavity. It boosts improved distribution, enhanced tissue uptake and repeatability using minimally invasive access. It was devised to palliate the local symptoms of extensive peritoneal metastases (PM) in …
COLDFIRE-III Trial: Efficacy of Irreversible Electroporation and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Perivascular and Peribiliary Colorectal Liver Metastases
The primary objective of this phase IIb/III, prospective, randomized clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of irreversible electroporation (IRE) with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with perivascular or peribiliary colorectal liver metastases (CRLM), that are not amenable for surgical resection or thermal ablation. Efficacy is assessed in terms …
Dose Finding, Efficacy and Immunological Response of IP-001 Following MWA or IRE for CRLM
The primary objectives of this phase I/II, prospective clinical trial, are to assess the optimal dose, efficacy, safety and immunological effect of ablation and intra-tumoral injection of a novel immuno-adjuvant (IP-001) for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). The study consists of three parts, devided into two phases. Phase 1 is a …
Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SBRT) of Lung Metastasis
The purpose of this institutional protocol is to offer SBRT to selected patients in a controlled environment to refine treatment techniques (including dose/fractionation schedules) and standardize follow-up. SBRT has been in clinical use for over a decade in some institutions and the available data suggest that it can be used …
Colorectal Metastasis Prevention International Trial 2
The short perioperative period (days to weeks around surgery) is characterized by stress-inflammatory responses, including catecholamines (CAs, e.g., adrenaline) and prostaglandins (PGs, e.g., prostaglandin-E2) release, and induce deleterious pro-metastatic effects. Animal studies implicated excess perioperative release of CAs and PGs in facilitating cancer progression by affecting the malignant tissue, its …
