Spontaneous Regression in Metastatic Melanoma and Renal Cell Carcinoma
The purpose of this study is to collect blood and clinical data from patients with metastatic melanoma and renal cell cancer who have experienced spontaneous regression for studies of immune response and other factors that may influence these occurrences.

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy With or Without Nivolumab in Treating Patients With Stage I-IIA or Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
This phase II trial studies how well stereotactic body radiation therapy with or without nivolumab works in treating patients with stage I-IIA non-small cell lung cancer or cancer that has come back. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method can kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving stereotactic body radiation therapy and nivolumab may...

Stereotactic Radiation in Patients With Small Cell Lung Cancer and 1-10 Brain Metastases
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

Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors With NovoTTF-200M for the Treatment of Melanoma Brain Metastases
This phase I trial finds out the side effects and possible benefits of stereotactic radiosurgery and immune checkpoint inhibitors with NovoTTF-100M for the treating of melanoma that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). Stereotactic radiosurgery is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor. It is used to treat brain tumors and other brain disorders that cannot be treated by regular surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability...

Stereotactic Radiosurgery for the Treatment of Patients With Small Cell Lung Cancer Brain Metastasis
This phase II trial investigates how stereotactic radiosurgery affects brain functions while treating patients with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastasis). Standard of care treatment consists of whole brain radiation therapy, which targets the entire brain, and may result in side effects affecting the nervous system. Stereotactic radiosurgery only targets areas of the brain that are suspected to be affected by the disease. The purpose of this trial is to learn if and how patients' brain functions are affected by the use of stereotactic radiosurgery rather than whole brain radiation therapy in managing brain metastasis caused by small cell lung...

Stereotactic Radiosurgery in Treating Patients With Greater Than 3 Melanoma Brain Metastases
This phase II trial studies how well stereotactic radiosurgery works in treating patients with melanoma that has spread to more than 3 places in the brain. 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.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery in Treating Patients With Large Brain Metastases
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of stereotactic radiosurgery and to see how well it works in treating patients with large brain metastases. Radiosurgery can send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery or Whole Brain Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Non-melanoma Brain Metastases
This randomized phase III clinical trial compares stereotactic radiosurgery with whole brain radiation therapy to see how well they work in treating patients with non-melanoma cancer that has recently spread from the first location to the brain. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized type of radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Whole brain radiation therapy delivers a lower dose of radiation to the entire brain over several treatments. It is not yet known whether stereotactic...

Stereotactic Radiotherapy in Oligometastatic Brain Disease: a Randomised Phase III Study Comparing Hypofractionated Stereotactic Radiation Therapy (3*10 Gy) to the Historical Single-dose Radiosurgery (1*20 to 25 Gy) With Medico-economic Evaluation.
Brain metastases (BM) are a common systemic cancer manifestation which incidence increases. Therapeutic options include whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT), surgery, and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). The concept of "oligometastatic" cerebral disease (oligoBM) has emerged and led to consider alternative approaches. The main challenge is to preserve neurological function and independence the longest as possible. Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) has emerged as an alternative treatment modality for selected oligoBM patients. It allows to achieve the balance of tumour destruction and normal tissue preservation by precisely and accurately delivering a very high dose of radiation in one...

Study Comparing Investigational Drug HBI-8000 + Nivolumab vs. Placebo + Nivolumab in Patients With Advanced Melanoma
This is a clinical study to compare the efficacy and safety of HBI-8000 combined with nivolumab to Placebo combined with nivolumab in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. A separate open-label cohort of adults with new, progressive brain metastasis or adolescents with or without new progressive brain metastasis receive HBI-8000 combined with nivolumab.
