A Pivotal Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of ExAblate Treatment of Metastatic Bone and Multiple Myeloma Tumors for the Palliation of Pain in Patients Who are not Candidates for Radiation Therapy
The purpose of this study is to see whether fast imaging with MRI and the usual contrast material used for MRI, predicts which patients will do well with treatment. Some studies suggest that MRIs done right before surgery may be able to tell how much of the cancer was killed by the chemotherapy. This study will see if this is true in patients with osteogenic sarcoma (OS) and Ewing's sarcoma (ES). This study will also see if MRIs done early in treatment can tell if the chemotherapy is working.
The objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of MRgFUS in the treatment of metastatic bone tumors.
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as PET scan and CT scan, may help doctors determine the extent of cancer and predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well PET scan combined with CT scan evaluates treatment response in patients undergoing treatment for bone cancer or soft tissue sarcoma.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug or combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy in treating patients with peripheral neuroectodermal tumors, Ewing's sarcoma, Wilms' tumor, or bone cancer.
Mg OSTEOCRETE is a bone substitute used to fill a defect in bone caused by excision of a tumor, orthopaedic hardware that has become loosened, or a trauma-related condition. The aim of this study is to determine the amount of time it takes for bone to heal after treatment with Mg OSTEOCRETE, and to better understand the efficacy of this treatment through clinical and patient-reported outcomes.
This is a prospective single-arm study of an enhanced assistance intervention for patients with unmet essential needs undergoing \>10 fractions of radiotherapy comparing delay-free completion of radiotherapy in study participants to historic controls.
This is a randomized Phase III study evaluating the efficacy of hypofractionated and dose-escalated palliative radiation therapy in metastatic bone disease (MBD). Patients will be randomized 1:1 to the conventional (8 Gy in a single fraction) and experimental (16 Gy in 2 fractions) groups with baseline and subsequent assessment of both pain and quality of life metrics.
This is a prospective, observational study designed to contribute data from patients with symptomatic metastatic bone disease treated at Sibley Memorial Hospital and Johns Hopkins Medicine to an international registry hosted by the Swedish Regional Cancer Centrum in Stockholm, Sweden. This protocol supports a worldwide effort to collect and store information from patients treated for symptomatic bone metastases within the International Skeletal Metastasis Registry (ISMR)
Up to 45 Patients aged 12 to 39 with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) that had recurred in the lungs and has recently been surgically removed will be enrolled. Patients will receive OST31-164 infusions every 3 weeks over 48 weeks and be followed after that for 3 years.
The purpose of this research is to investigate whether patients who previously had endoprosthesis surgery experience memory, thinking, or heart problems. It will also help determine how often these problems occur.
This is a randomized double-blind control trial evaluating the use Tranexamic acid (TXA) to decrease blood loss and transfusion requirements in pediatric and young adult cancer patients undergoing a limb salvage procedure that frequently requires perioperative or post-operative transfusions of blood products. Primary Objective * To evaluate the difference in intra-or post-operatively transfused blood volume (mL/kg) for patients undergoing limb salvage procedures of the distal femur or proximal tibia who are randomized to receive perioperative tranexamic acid (TXA) versus placebo. Secondary Objectives * To evaluate changes in platelets and in hemoglobin from pre-op to post-op level for patients randomized to receive perioperative TXA versus placebo. * To evaluate differences in post-operative daily surgical drain output for patients randomized to receive perioperative TXA versus placebo. * To evaluate changes in estimated blood loss (EBL) for patients randomized to receive perioperative TXA versus placebo. * To evaluate the association between the intra-or post-operatively transfused blood volume and estimated blood loss (EBL) for patients randomized to receive perioperative TXA and placebo, respectively. Exploratory Objectives * To evaluate differences in functional outcomes post-operatively for patients randomized to receive perioperative TXA versus placebo. * To explore if significant correlations are observed between parameters reported with rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM®) and EBL and transfusion requirements in pediatric and young adult patients undergoing limb salvage procedure who are randomized to perioperative TXA versus placebo. * To evaluate differences in the prevalence and management of wound complications such as superficial or periprosthetic infections, wound dehiscence, contact dermatitis, post- operative hematomas, or any other clinically significant wound complication between patients randomized to receive perioperative TXA versus placebo.
Any time the words "you," "your," "I," or "me" appear, it is meant to apply to the potential participant. The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of gemcitabine that can be given by inhalation (breathing it as a mist) to patients with solid tumors that have spread to the lungs from other parts of the body. The safety and side effects of this drug will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Gemcitabine is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of pancreatic and lung cancer, and other solid tumors. Its administration by inhalation is investigational. The study doctor can explain how the study drug is designed to work. Up to 44 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
