210 Clinical Trials for Sarcoma
This research is being done to test a new drug called PEEL-224 in combination with two commercially available drugs, Vincristine and Temozolomide, and to determine how effective this combination of drugs is at treating Ewing Sarcoma (EWS) and Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor (DSRCT), as well as multiple other kinds of sarcomas. The names of the study drugs and biological agents involved in this study are: * PEEL-224 (a type of Topoisomerase 1 inhibitor) * Vincristine (A type of vinca alkaloid) * Temozolomide (A type of alkylating agent) * Pegfilgrastim or Filgrastim (types of Myeloid growth factors)
This study is being done to identify markers that will allow researchers to identify in advance patients with sarcomas who are at highest risk for developing heart failure related to chemotherapy.
This study evaluates the impact that a sarcoma diagnosis and treatment have had on patients over time.
This is a multicenter, open-label, prospective Phase 1/2a study to assess safety and tolerability, establish dosimetry and to identify an optimal imaging dose (radioactivity and mass dose) and imaging time window of 64Cu-LNTH-1363S (64Cu Radiolabeled FAPi PET/CT Imaging Agent) and to compare its imaging biodistribution with FAP expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in patients with sarcomas or GIT cancers. The study will be conducted in 2 parts (Part 1 and Part 2).
The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of early access to mental healthcare during sarcoma treatment as well as to assess the association between early access to psychiatric care and depression, anxiety, postoperative outcomes, and patient satisfaction in patients undergoing surgery for musculoskeletal sarcoma.
This is a single-arm open-label window of opportunity clinical study assessing the impact of pre-treatment with palbociclib in patients with soft tissue sarcomas for which PD-1 inhibitors are approved (includes undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, myxofibrosarcoma, angiosarcoma, pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma, pleomorphic liposarcoma, or alveolar soft part sarcoma).
Patients with extremity soft tissue sarcoma (STS) are at high risk of recurrence. Pre-operative radiotherapy is used to increase the safe removal of tumors and improve local control in these patients. Increasing the preoperative radiotherapy dose with standard techniques might lead to normal tissue toxicity and postoperative wound complications. GRID radiation therapy is a technique that may increases radiation dose with minimal added toxicity. It is hypothesized that GRID radiation dose will improve tumor response without increasing post-operative wound complications. While GRID has been used in many patients, there have been few formal studies to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the technique. In this study, a single priming dose of GRID will be administered to subjects with high-risk extremity soft tissue sarcoma prior to standard radiotherapy and tumor resection to determine the safety and clinical efficacy of the GRID dose. This single-arm pilot study will assess the safety of spatially fractionated grid radiation therapy (GRID) on 20 subjects with resectable extremity soft tissue sarcoma, followed by standard-of-care conventional radiotherapy (XRT) and tumor resection.
The purpose of this study is to collect and store data and samples for future research to attempt to improve outcomes for patients with synovial sarcoma. The future research will involve various types of genetic testing. Participants will be asked to allow access to medical records and leftover tumor tissue and may be asked to give a blood or saliva sample. Participants will also be asked to completed questionnaires about their medical history and may be contacted every 6 to 12 months for updates for up to 10 years.
This prospective, single-institution, observational study explores disease outcomes and toxicities in subjects with gastrointestinal malignancies and sarcoma (bone and soft tissue) who are being treated with standard-of-care therapies including radiotherapy. Recent advances in treatment approaches affected disease outcomes and toxicities. Prospective monitoring of disease outcomes and toxicities using standardized assessments will provide information about recent changes in the standard of care and further refine treatment approaches and prospective clinical trial design.
This study is conducted in two phases. The phase 1 portion of the study evaluates the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and effectiveness of lurbinectedin monotherapy in pediatric participants with previously treated solid tumors. This is followed by the phase 2 portion, to further assess the effectiveness and safety in pediatric and young adult participants with recurrent/refractory Ewing sarcoma.
This will be a phase II, single arm study of osteosarcoma patients with fully resected pulmonary metastases. The MTD corresponds to the dosage recommendations of the manufacturer of Iscador® P which is licensed in Sweden, New Zealand, South Korea, Germany and Switzerland for the treatment of solid tumors and precancerous lesions. The study population includes patients with relapse of osteosarcoma in the lung following surgical resection of all gross disease (2nd or greater CR). Following completion of final thoracotomy, they will be treated with Iscador® P at concentrations up to the MTD with surveillance imaging via CT scan to monitor for relapsed disease.
This is a pilot study determining the feasibility of combination treatments, pembrolizumab and stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SBRT) in subjects with soft-tissue sarcoma. These are subjects who have metastatic disease initially, or recurrent or progressive disease that is not eligible for curative surgery.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of combining the disulfiram (DSF) and copper gluconate (Cu) to liposomal doxorubicin to treat patients with sarcomas that recurred or did not respond to initial treatment.
The purpose of this study is to learn whether it is safe to give HER2-CAR T cells in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor drug (pembrolizumab or nivolumab), to learn what the side effects are, and to see whether this therapy might help patients with sarcoma. Another goal of this study is to study the bacteria found in the stool of patients with sarcoma who are being treated with HER2 CAR T cells and immune checkpoint inhibitor drugs to see if the types of bacteria influence how well the treatment works. The investigators have found from previous research that they can put a new gene into T cells that will make them recognize cancer cells and kill them. They now want to see if they can put a new gene in these cells that will let the T cells recognize and kill sarcoma cells. The new gene that the investigators will put in makes an antibody specific for HER2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2) that binds to sarcoma cells. In addition, it contains CD28, which stimulated T cells and make them last longer. After this new gene is put into the T cell, the T cell becomes known as a chimeric antigen receptor T cell or CAR T cell. In another clinical study using these CAR T cells targeting HER2 as well as other studies using CAR T cells, investigators found that giving chemotherapy before the T cell infusion can improve the effect the T cells can have. Giving chemotherapy before a T cell infusion is called lymphodepletion since the chemotherapy is specifically chosen to decrease the number of lymphocytes in the body. Decreasing the number of the patient's lymphocytes first should allow the infused T cells to expand in the body, and potentially kill cancer cells more effectively. The chemotherapy used for lymphodepletion is a combination of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine. After the patient receives the lymphodepletion chemotherapy and CAR T cells during treatment on the study, they will receive an antibody drug called an immune checkpoint inhibitor, pembrolizumab or nivolumab. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are drugs that remove the brakes on the immune system to allow it to act against cancer.
AdAPT-001 is an oncolytic virus that is injected directly into the tumor or via intraarterial administration. The purpose of this study is to find out if AdAPT-001 is safe and tolerable. The next step is to find out if AdAPT-001 if efficacious with or without a checkpoint inhibitor.
This study is being done to find out whether the study drug Retifanlimab, a monoclonal antibody against the PD-1 protein, combined with gemcitabine and docetaxel, is a safe and effective treatment for your disease. Gemcitabine and docetaxel are chemotherapy drugs that are commonly used to treat soft tissue sarcoma. Retifanlimab is an experimental drug that boosts the immune system's ability to fight cancer cells. The study researchers think that Retifanlimab may help gemcitabine and docetaxel work better against soft tissue sarcoma that is either locally advanced or has spread beyond its original location (metastasized), and it cannot be removed with surgery (unresectable).
This is an open label phase 2 study for advanced sarcoma using metronomic doses of gemcitabine, doxorubicin and docetaxel, and nivolumab immunotherapy given intravenously.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of implementing the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway in a prospective manner to patients undergoing surgical treatment for extremity sarcoma.
This early phase I trial studies an imaging technique called 68Ga-FAPi-46 PET/CT to determine where and to which degree the FAPI tracer (68Ga-FAPi-46) accumulates in normal and cancer tissues in patients with sarcoma. PET is an established imaging technique that utilizes small amounts of radioactivity attached to very minimal amounts of tracer, in the case of this research, 68Ga-FAPi. Because some cancers take up 68Ga-FAPi it can be seen with PET. CT utilizes x-rays that traverse body from the outside. CT images provide an exact outline of organs and potential inflammatory tissue where it occurs in patient's body.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether giving the study drug pembrolizumab in combination with the chemotherapy drugs melphalan and dactinomycin, delivered directly to the affected arm or leg using a technique called isolated limb infusion (ILI), is a safe treatment that can delay the time before your disease gets worse (progresses).
This study is a single site, single-arm, feasibility study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MRgFUS using the ExAblate 2100 System for the partial ablation of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas.
A tissue biopsy is currently the only clinical test or procedure that is able to confirm the initial diagnosis of soft tissue or metastatic sarcoma and evaluate its progress during treatment. However, tissue biopsy collection can be challenging (depending on the location of the tumor), and this procedure poses physical risks to the patient. A tissue biopsy also needs to be recollected at various time points in order to assess if the patient is responding to treatment. In this project, the investigator would like to collect blood samples in addition to the sample of the tumor that will be collected before treatment is started. The investigator would like to analyze both blood and tumor, in hopes of identifying new biomarkers of sarcoma that can help the study doctors better diagnose sarcoma for patients in the future without needing to collect a piece of their tumor. A biomarker is something found in the blood, other body fluids, or tissues that can be used to measure the progress of disease, how a treatment is working, or its likelihood of being successful. In this project, the investigator would like to compare ctDNA from blood to the DNA in the tumor. ctDNA, or circulating tumor DNA, is DNA originating from the tumor that is present in the blood. It can be assessed by taking an additional sample of blood when it will be collected for normal laboratory tests. These biomarkers may also help the study doctors detect how a patient is responding to their treatment or help predict their response to future treatment.
This is a Phase 2 study using talimogene laherparepvec, nivolumab, and trabectedin as first, second or third line therapy for advanced sarcoma, including desmoid tumor and chordoma.
Surgery is currently the only potentially curative treatment modality for localized retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS). Available studies regarding oncologic outcomes are mainly retrospective in nature, and RPS are recognized as a rare disease. Therefore, prospective analysis of high quality data is a top priority. Primary Objectives of this study are: * to prospectively collect standardized clinical data and radiological and pathological material from primary RPS patients treated with surgery at reference centers. * patient outcome will be evaluated in terms of overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), crude cumulative incidence (CCI) of local recurrence (LR) and distant metastasis (DM). Secondary Objectives: * to estimate the efficacy and safety of surgical treatment, including extended surgical approach to primary RPS; * to prospectively evaluate the impact of multimodality therapy, including radiation therapy and chemotherapy; * to identify clinical, radiological and pathological characteristics that may influence the oncological outcome or may be used as predictors of LR/DM/OS. These may be important biomarkers of disease; * to utilize collected pathological material for research collaborations.
This is a first-in-human, open-label, non-randomized, three-part phase 1 trial of INBRX-109, which is a recombinant humanized tetravalent antibody targeting the human death receptor 5 (DR5).
This research is being done to find out if an investigational drug, Nivolumab, can be safely administered after a "half-matched" (haplo) bone marrow transplant (BMT), and if the investigational drug will help to prevent or delay relapse or progression of sarcomas. In this study investigators will also be trying to learn more about how the investigational drug changes blood and/or tumors. Participants are eligible for this trial if they have recently undergone a "half-matched" (haplo) bone marrow transplant and have either relapsed or are at high risk to relapse.
A parallel-group randomized pilot trial at a single institution (Duke University) on the effect of postoperative hyperbaric oxygen therapy on wound healing in patients with soft tissue sarcoma undergoing surgical resection with neo-adjuvant radiation therapy.. Participants will be allocated to either the treatment group (HBOT) or control (standard of care) by computer-generated randomization, stratified by tumor size (≤10cm and \>10cm). An unequal randomization of 2:1 will be utilized to provide experience prescribing HBOT to more patients.
The purpose of this study is to study normal and sarcoma cells. To study these cells we need to have human tissue. You will be having or have already had a procedure to remove tissue. We would like to use some of this tissue. We will use it for laboratory studies on the diagnosis,behavior and treatment of sarcoma. We will perform an extensive analysis of your samples. We will only use extra tissue left over after all needed testing has been done or remove an additional small amount of tissue if you are having a biopsy. We will also take blood samples before and/or after your procedure to measure biochemical factors that may help us predict the behavior of sarcoma.
The purpose of this research study is to preserve healthy tissue around the cancer on the arm(s) and/or leg(s) using Hypofractionated radiotherapy, while treating the cancer and preventing it from spreading to other areas of the body.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of administering DFMO to patients with relapsed Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma who have completed all planned therapy and have no evidence of disease.
