STAR-EV will evaluate the combination of enfortumab vedotin plus radiotherapy (RT) as neoadjuvant treatment for muscle invasive bladder cancer prior to radical cystectomy surgery. The study will use "dose escalation" to evaluate the safety and efficacy of study treatment at three dose regimens: Level 0: EV treatment followed by RT to the bladder Level 1: EV treatment with RT starting on Cycle 2, Day 15 Level 2: EV treatment with RT starting on Cycle 1, Day 15 Following completion of EV+RT neoadjuvant therapy, all subjects will undergo surgery as part of routine care.
To determine the safety and efficacy of using the drug azeliragon combined with stereotactic radiosurgery. Specifically, to determine if this combination will lead to improved response in the brain (tumor shrinking in size) and overall tumor control (how long tumor remains controlled).
This phase II trial tests whether the addition of radiation to the primary tumor, typically given with stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR), in combination with standard of care immunotherapy improves outcomes in patients with renal cell cancer that is not recommended for surgery and has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Radiation therapy uses high energy photons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses of radiation over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, ipilimumab, avelumab, and pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Axitinib, cabozantinib, and lenvatinib are in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. They work by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. Giving SABR in combination with standard of care immunotherapy may help shrink or stabilize the cancer in patients with renal cell cancer.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety/tolerability/feasibility of pembrolizumab and radiation therapy before surgical resection in patients with recurrent glioblastoma as defined by treatment-related AEs and the number of patients who do not necessitate a delay in surgical resection, and to assess overall survival. The secondary objectives are to assess progression free survival, and to assess the T cell clonality, CD8 T cell activation and Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocyte (TIL) score after treatment
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.
This trial studies how well stereotactic radiation therapy before surgery works in treating patients with cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases) and can be removed by surgery (resectable). Stereotactic radiation therapy is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor, and may cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving stereotactic radiation therapy before surgery may make the return of brain metastases less likely and help patients live longer compared to surgery followed by radiation therapy.
This research study is investigating the value of an imaging study of the brain called an MRI (which stands for magnetic resonance imaging), utilized in unique way, to delineate whether the tumor has recurred or whether radiation changes have occurred after a brain metastasis treated with focused radiation has enlarged.
This study is to find out if administration of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) given after Nivolumab will improve overall response rate/anti-tumor activity in patients with metastatic breast cancer with brain metastases.
There is a lack of prospective trial data and consensus guidelines describing the use of Fractionated Stereotactic Radiation Therapy (FSRT) in the treatment of brain metastases. There has been no prospective dose escalation study performed to date to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in patients treated with FSRT. Prescription doses in the series described above ranged from 18 Gy to 42 Gy, delivered in 3 to 12 fractions. The results of this study will be used to plan future Phase II/III studies to determine the efficacy of different dose fractionation schedules of FSRT. The investigator team thus proposes a Phase I study to determine the feasibility and safety of FSRT in patients with brain metastases.
This research study is studying the combination of a drug called atezolizumab and a radiation procedure called stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) as a possible treatment for triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. The interventions involved in this study are: * Atezolizumab * Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)
This study looks at dose escalation for five fraction stereotactic radiotherapy for patients diagnosed with brain metastases with tumors 2.1-4.0 cm in diameter or 4.1-6.0 cm in diameter.
This research study is studying stereotactic radiation (focused/pinpoint radiation that targets each individual tumor but not the surrounding brain) instead of whole-brain radiation (radiation targeting the entire brain) as a possible treatment for patients with small cell lung cancer and 1-10 brain metastases. The intervention involved in this study is: -Stereotactic (focused, pinpoint) radiation
\[18F\] FMISO Positron Emission Tomography (PET) to determine hypoxia in patients with HCC treated with TACE.
This phase II trial studies how well intensity-modulated stereotactic radiation therapy works in treating patients with grade II-IV glioma. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may cause less damage to normal tissue.
The purpose of this study is to see if continued nivolumab with the addition of ipilimumab plus hypo-fractionated stereotactic radiation (sTR) of a single lesions results in partial or complete responses in patients with metastatic ccRCC who fail initial treatment with single agent nivolumab.
This research study is studying two different types of radiation as treatment for brain metastases (tumors in the brain that spread from a cancer that originated elsewhere in the body)
Patients with low-risk or favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer as defined by 1.2016 NCCN criteria will be eligible to participate on this study.
This phase II trial studies the safety and efficacy of frameless fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy for brain metastases. Frameless fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers 3 to 5, high dose fractions of radiation directly to the brain lesions while sparing normal tissues.
This phase II trial studies the effectiveness of the combination of stereotactic radiation therapy and ipilimumab in patients with metastatic melanoma that has spread to four or fewer sites in the body (oligometastatic). Stereotactic radiation therapy is a type of external beam radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a either a single large dose of radiation therapy to a tumor or several large doses of radiation therapy to a tumor using precision and accuracy that is guided by onboard daily imaging prior to radiation therapy. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some monoclonal antibodies find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving stereotactic radiosurgery together with ipilimumab may kill more tumor cells by causing addition melanoma antigens to be presented to the immune system.
The investigators are looking to see if a certain dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) may be a viable treatment option for recurrent or residual pancreatic or periampullary adenocarcinoma.
The stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) literature focuses on clinical outcomes in the adult population. However, SBRT has a particularly strong rationale for application in pediatrics given that high biologically effective doses have been shown to increase control in histologies, such as sarcoma, which are common in the pediatrics population. With stereotactic radiation therapy techniques, a reduction in normal tissue dose surrounding the target lesion of interest may also be accomplished resulting in lower toxicity. Given that pediatric patients with sarcomas, presenting with limited metastases in lung and bone, are still considered to be a curable population with aggressive local therapy, SBRT could have a significant impact on outcomes in oligometastatic patients who may be otherwise unresectable.
This clinical trial studies high-dose stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in treating patients with low-, intermediate-, or high-risk localized prostate cancer. SBRT may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue
Patients that have undergone pre-operative radiation for pancreatic carcinoma, that upon pathologic examination of the normal portion of the pancreatic gland that was in the radiation field showed acute and chronic changes in the pancreatic cells. The hypothesis for utilizing stereotactic radiation on pancreatic fistulae is that the treatment will decrease pancreatic secretions, thus decreasing autodigestion.
The purpose of this study is to determine pain control rate (Percentage of patients in each arm that achieve pain control) at the treated site(s) at 1 month, 2-4 months and 5-6 months post-treatment.
This is an open label phase I clinical trial with two arms, representing single and fractionated radiation therapy (Figure 4.1). Within each arm the radiation dose is pre-determined and not escalated. Panobinostat will be administered orally 3 times a week for 2 weeks. Panobinostat will be dose-escalated independently in each arm. There is no intra-patient dose escalation. Recurrent gliomas (Arm A) will be treated according to the Jefferson protocol for re-irradiation, 10 fractions each of 3.5Gy delivered over 2 weeks. Panobinostat will be administered orally three times a week for 2 weeks, starting on day 1 or 2 of radiation therapy. High-grade meningiomas (Arm A) will be treated with 6 weeks/30 fractions of fractionated radiation therapy, to a total dose of between 54 Gy and 60 Gy in fractions of either 1.8Gy or 2Gy. Panobinostat will be administered orally three times a week for 2 weeks, starting on the day of 1st fraction of radiation. Large brain metastases (Arm B) will be treated with a single fraction of radiosurgery. Panobinostat will be administered orally three times a week for 2 weeks, starting on the day of radiation. The radiosurgery may be delivered by either LINAC, gamma-knife, cyber-knife or tomotherapy technology.
This trial will test the feasibility of adjuvant chemotherapy after stereotactic body radiation therapy for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
This investigational study will evaluate if using a combination of TACE along with high dose SBRT would show improvement in local control in patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
The investigators study is to investigate safety and efficacy of performing a planned incomplete removal of large acoustic neuroma tumors to decrease surgical morbidity and yet avoid tumor recurrence by post-operative radiation therapy.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of stereotactic radiation therapy and nelfinavir mesylate when given together with gemcitabine hydrochloride, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil in treating patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Stereotactic radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs, such as nelfinavir mesylate, may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving stereotactic radiation therapy and nelfinavir mesylate together with combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
This study is to determine the safety and efficacy of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and treatment drug in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
