Active clinical trials for "Chondrosarcoma"

Anti-angiogenesis Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been proved to show promising effects on prolonging progression-free survival (PFS) for advanced chondrosarcoma after failure of standard multimodal Therapy. Methylsulfonic apatinib is one of those TKIs which specifically inhibits VEGFR-2. This study summarizes the experience of two Peking University affiliated hospitals in off-label use of apatinib in the treatment of extensively pre-treated chondrosarcoma.

IPI-926 is an inhibitor of the hedgehog pathway. IPI-926 may improve therapeutic outcomes in patients with Chondrosarcoma.

This study will examine the response rate and the 6-month progression-free survival rates of subjects with advanced sarcoma treated with dasatinib.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining gemcitabine with docetaxel may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining gemcitabine with docetaxel in treating patients who have recurrent osteosarcoma, recurrent Ewing's sarcoma, or unresectable or locally recurrent chondrosarcoma.

The Registry For Children, Adolescents And Adults With Osteosarcoma And Biologically Related Bone Sarcomas (COSS-Registry) is a non-interventional, multicentric, international, clinical and epidemiologic patient registry. The COSS-Registry collects key data on osteosarcomas or biologically related bone sarcomas. With that data collection we want to gain new scientific insights and results about this tumor disease, prognosis, surveillance and long-term effects. Besides the data collection we would also like to foster the collection of biomaterial (tumor specimen and blood samples) for scientific research. The stored material will be used to perform cell and molecular biological analyses to identify the causes of osteosarcoma, the prognosis and possible new treatment options. As a starting point the donated biomaterial of registered patients will be analyzed firstly for the presence of a tumor predisposition by germline mutations. In case of detected genetic variations that are related to the tumor disease and which may affect the patient's health and follow-up care (because of the potentially increased risk of developing other malignant tumors), affected patients will be informed and referred to genetic counseling. Registry patients will be asked at the time of diagnosis if they wish to be informed about germline variants detected as part of the study procedures.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of single agent pazopanib in subjects with chondrosarcoma.

This randomized phase I/II clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of gamma-secretase/notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 when given together with vismodegib and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced or metastatic sarcoma. Vismodegib may slow the growth of tumor cells. Gamma-secretase/notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving vismodegib together with gamma-secretase/notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 may be an effective treatment for sarcoma.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine if the administration of a higher dose would decrease the chance of tumor recurrence, compared to the risk of tumor recurrence with a lower dose. Most of the treatment will be given protons, but participants may receive a small portion of treatment with x-rays, because less radiation is given to the skin with x-rays. This study uses two slightly different doses of radiation It is not clear at this time which of the dose levels is better.

This is a phase II study of perifosine in patients with chondrosarcomas, alveolar soft part sarcomas and extra-skeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas. Patients will receive perifosine 100 mg orally qhs with food until disease progression. The goals of this study include: In this study a daily dose of perifosine previously determined to be relatively non-toxic will be evaluated in patients with chondrosarcomas, alveolar soft part sarcomas and extra-skeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas. Response to therapy will be based on regression of measurable disease according to Choi criteria. Time to progression and duration of stable disease will be measured as secondary endpoints of the study.

Chondrosarcoma and liposarcoma consists of different subtypes with a wide range of patient survival. Current treatment options consist of wide surgical resection, however for patients with a local recurrence or metastatic disease the outcome is poor. New treatment options being evaluated and mouse models show in vivo that mammilian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibition can prevent tumour growth. mTOR is an kinase that is present in two complexes and thereby activates multiple pathways. Aberrant mTOR signalling is known to be involved in cancer cell survival. Several clinical studies for patients with bone or soft tissue sarcoma treated with mTOR inhibitors have been conducted and they show promising results. From these studies the investigators can conclude that the combination of an mTOR inhibitor with cyclophosphamide shows promising results in chondrosarcoma. With the lack of other treatment options for unresectable and metastatic chondrosarcoma or myxoid liposarcoma the Eurosarc consortium (www.eurosarc.eu) decided to treat these patients in a standardised way according to a common protocol with the combination of sirolimus and cyclophosphamide using the growth modulation index for evaluation in the current clinical study protocol.
