S1501 Carvedilol in Preventing Cardiac Toxicity in Patients With Metastatic HER-2-Positive Breast Cancer
This phase III trial studies how well carvedilol works in preventing cardiac toxicity in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2-positive breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. A beta-blocker, such as carvedilol, is used to treat heart failure and high blood pressure, and it …
Stereotactic Radiation & Abemaciclib in the Management of HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer Brain Metastases
This is a single arm study of abemaciclib and endocrine therapy with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) among patients with hormone receptor (HR)+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer brain metastases.
Phase II Trial of the PARP Inhibitor Niraparib and PD-1 Inhibitor Dostarlimab in Patients With Advanced Cancers With Active Progressing Brain Metastases (STARLET)
To learn if the combination of niraparib and dostarlimab can help to control advanced cancer that has spread to the brain.
Improving Therapeutic Ratio With Hypo Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Brain Metastases
Randomized phase II trial. The study aims to investigate a different and potentially safer radio therapeutic treatment method for brain metastases. The current standard of stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) in one or three fractions is compared to fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (fSRT) in five fractions.
A Prospective Study of the Impact of Hippocampal Avoidance During Whole Brain Radiotherapy on Neurocognitive Function Decline
Whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) has long been a practical and effective therapeutic modality for various settings of management in radiation oncology. For example, the indications for WBRT should include brain metastasis or metastases, the setting of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) used mainly for patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer, …
Neurocognitive Functioning With Genu-Sparing Whole Brain Radiation Therapy for Brain Metastases
This is a trial that evaluates the preservation of cognition and neuropsychiatric function following genu-sparing whole brain radiation in patients with brain metastases.
A Study of Neoadjuvant Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Large Brain Metastases
This study will be a non-randomized phase II trial for patients with one to six brain metastases, at least one of which is appropriate for surgical resection. Upon registration, patients will be assigned to receive neo-adjuvant stereotactic radiosurgery (NASRS).
Optimizing Neurocognition With Whole Brain Radiation Therapy (WBRT) Using Upfront Pulsed Reduced Dose-Rate (PRDR) Technique
Study patients will receive Whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) - pulsed reduced dose rate (PRDR) within 14 days of registration. All patients will receive single daily fractions using 3D conformal radiotherapy. A dose of 30 Gy in 10 fractions will be delivered using the PRDR technique.
Role of Hyperpolarized 13C-Pyruvate MR Spectroscopy in Patients With Intracranial Metastasis Treated With (SRS)
Upwards of 40% of cancer patients will develop brain metastases during their illness, most of which become symptomatic. The burden of brain metastases impacts the quality and length of survival. Thus the management of brain metastases is a significant health care problem. Standard treatment options include stereotactic radiosurgery and/or whole …
NTS-WBRT VS HA-WBRT in Brain Metastases
This research is being done to compare quality of life and symptom burden in participants who receive two different types of radiation therapy (normal tissue sparing whole brain radiation therapy (NTS-WBRT) or standard of care hippocampal avoidance whole brain radiation Therapy (HA-WBRT). This research study involves: NTS-WBRT (normal tissue sparing …
