Radioactive seeds plus immunotherapy for solid tumors
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether placing tiny radioactive seeds directly into a tumor, combined with immunotherapy (a drug that helps your immune system attack cancer), can help treat cancers that are new, have come back, or have spread. It's for people who can safely have the seed procedure and are eligible for immunotherapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with a malignant tumor that is either new, has come back, or has spread to other parts of your body.
- You have at least one tumor that can be measured on a scan (like CT or PET/CT) and is in a safe spot for placing radioactive seeds.
- You are able to receive or are already planning to receive an immunotherapy drug (called a checkpoint inhibitor).
- You are generally able to take care of yourself (ECOG score 0-2).
- Your blood counts and kidney/liver function are within acceptable levels for this study.

This study uses PET/CT scans to map the exact location of your tumor and plan the best dose of radioactive seeds. The goal is to kill the tumor more precisely while reducing side effects.
This trial tests a treatment that places tiny radioactive seeds directly into some of your tumors, combined with your usual cancer therapy. It is for people who have 6 to 10 tumors that have spread to other parts of the body (not the brain). The goal is to see if adding this implant procedure helps control the tumors better.
This trial tests a combination of two local treatments—radioactive seed implants and cryoablation (freezing)—for people with cancer that has spread to multiple sites or created large tumors that can't be surgically removed. The goal is to see if targeting up to five specific spots can control the disease and reduce symptoms.
This trial tests a procedure that places tiny radioactive seeds directly into tumors that have started growing again in patients with lung or colorectal cancer that has spread. It combines this with standard drug therapy to see if it can better control the disease.
This trial compares a new approach that combines radioactive seed placement followed by freezing (cryoablation) against either treatment alone for solid tumors that cannot be removed. The goal is to see if the combination works better in shrinking or controlling these hard-to-treat tumors.
This trial tests a procedure where tiny radioactive seeds are placed into spinal tumors to relieve pain and control growth. It is for people with cancer that has spread to the bone and who are able to undergo the procedure safely.
