Radioactive seed implants plus standard therapy for multiple metastatic tumors
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a solid tumor cancer that has spread to other parts of your body, with 6 to 10 tumors outside the brain.
- Your tumors can be seen on a CT or PET scan and measured by standard guidelines.
- You have at least one tumor that the doctor thinks can be treated with radioactive seed implants.
- You are well enough to get out of bed and take care of yourself (ECOG score 0 to 2).
- Your organs (like liver, kidneys, and bone marrow) are working well enough for the procedures and systemic therapy.

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.
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 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 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.
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 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.
