Implantable Microdevice for the Delivery of Drugs and Their Effect on Tumors in Patients With Metastatic or Recurrent Sarcoma

Description

This early phase I trial studies the side effects of implanting and removing a microdevice in patients with sarcomas that have spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or have come back (recurrent). Microdevices are rice-sized devices that are implanted into tumor tissue and are loaded with 10 different drugs that are delivered at very small doses, or "microdoses," which may only affect a very small, local area inside the tumor. The purpose of this study is to determine which drugs delivered in the microdevice affect tumor tissue in patients with sarcomas.

Conditions

Metastatic Sarcoma, Recurrent Sarcoma, Resectable Sarcoma
