The purpose of this research study is to see how well Low Pass Whole Genome Sequencing (LP-WGS) can detect circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) in the blood of participants who have bone or soft tissue sarcoma (type of cancer).
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.
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) lesions are initiated by endothelial cells infected with KS herpesvirus (KSHV), also known as human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8). Lesion progression is driven by abnormal angiogenesis, chronic inflammation, and uncontrolled cell proliferation. KS remains one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in many African countries where economic constraints prevent successful treatment in most patients. Treatment outcomes in developed countries are also often unsatisfactory in HIV positive patients despite good virological and immunological responses to antiretroviral therapy. Therefore, identification of new oral, safe treatment options for treatment of KS remains a research priority. Given the known anti-angiogenic properties and based on the treatment response with other benign vascular lesions such as infantile hemangioma, propranolol is a good candidate for the treatment of KS. The hypothesis of this study is that treating patients with Kaposi sarcoma with propranolol will result in an overall response rate (complete response rate plus partial response rate) of at least 45%, and that propranolol will be safe and well tolerated in this patient population.
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 imaging time window of 64Cu-LNTH-1363S, and to compare its imaging biodistribution with FAP expression by 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.
