Active clinical trials for "Chordoma"

This research study involves a combination of three drugs given together as a possible treatment for malignant rhabdoid tumor, atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor, epithelioid sarcoma, chordoma or other tumors that are deficient in one of two possible proteins, either INI-1 (SMARCB1) or SMARCA4. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: Tazemetostat (TAZVERIK) Nivolumab (OPDIVO) Ipilimumab (YERVOY)

This phase I/II trial studies how well tiragolumab and atezolizumab works when given to children and adults with SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 deficient tumors that that has either come back (relapsed) or does not respond to therapy (refractory). SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 deficiency means that tumor cells are missing the SMARCB1 and SMARCA4 genes, seen with some aggressive cancers that are typically hard to treat. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as tiragolumab and atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

A Phase 1 open label trial of intravenous administration of TAEK-VAC-HerBy vaccine in patients with advanced brachyury and/or HER2- expressing cancer. The study will be completed in 2 stages. In Stage 1 patients will be enrolled and treated according to a 3+3 dose escalation scheme. Up to 4 dose levels will be explored to determine the recommended dose of TAEK-VAC-HerBy for Stage 2 of the trial. Stage 2 will enroll either chordoma patients for treatment with TAEK-VAC-HerBy alone, or HER2- positive breast and gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer patients for combination treatment of TAEK-VAC-HerBy vaccine and therapeutic HER2 antibodies (trastuzumab, pertuzumab). Patients in both stages will receive TAEK-VAC-HerBy intravenously, every three weeks, three administrations in total.

This clinical trial is studying two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and ipilimumab) given together as a possible treatment for INI1-negative tumors.

Chordoma is a rare but locally invasive cancer that arises from the embryonic notochord. Total resection is challenging in mobile spine because of the complex anatomy and bone invasion.

Comparative study on surgery versus definitive radiation therapy in primary localized sacral chordoma

The project is planned as a phase II clinical trial with a low level of intervention, for the prospective evaluation of the clinical results of radical or adjuvant treatment by proton therapy in chordomas and chondrosarcomas of the skull base using hypofractionation schemes in 5 fractions, with the aim of consolidating the scientific evidence that exists with high-precision techniques with photons, increasing this evidence by adapting this treatment scheme to the proton technique. In addition, a cross-sectional prospective evaluation of the quality parameters of the dosimetry of hypofractionated proton therapy and an evaluation of the quality of life of these patients will be carried out. Primary Objective - Toxicity according to CTCAE-v5 criteria - Local control determined by Magnetic Resonance with Gadolinium. Secondary Objectives To evaluate the quality of life of the patients, 3 months after the end of the treatment, using a specific questionnaire. To evaluate the dosimetric benefits using techniques that allow an improvement in the dose gradient, improving the coverage of the CTV (Clinical Tumor Volume) and decreasing the dose in surrounding risk organs.

This is a multicenter, single arm, phase 2 study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cetuximab for the treatment of advanced (unresectable)/metastatic, chordoma. The target patient population will be any chordoma patient 18 years of age with locally unresectable disease or metastatic disease.

This is a transnational prospective randomized trial comparing definitive carbon ion therapy versus photon or combined photon and protontherapy as standard treatment for unresectable or macroscopically uncompleted resected radioresistant tumors. Eligible tumors are axial chordoma (except of base of skull), adenoid cystic carcinoma of head and neck (except of trachea) and sarcomas of any site (except chondrosarcoma of the skull base), non previously irradiated and without pre-planned surgery or chemotherapy after the clinical trial procedure. Randomization is balanced 1 for 1. Patients of the experimental arm are treated in carbon ions centers in Europe and patients of the standard arm are treated in France in their closest participating radiotherapy center. An accrual of 250 patients is needed and an absolute difference of 20% of relapse free survival at five years is awaited. The main endpoint is the progression free survival at five years. The trial is supported by the French program of clinical research and the national health insurance. Two associated studies are carried out: a radiobiological one looking for radioresistance markers in the sarcomas biopsies, and the second one is about medico economics.

Non-randomized, open, two-cohort, phase II, multicenter national clinical trial. 20 sites in Spain. Cohort 1 includes soft-tissue sarcoma and osteosarcoma (21 patients), while Cohort 2 includes chordoma patients only (19 patients). Palbociclib will be administered orally at a dose of 125 mg once a day for 21 consecutive days followed by 7 rest days to comprise a complete cycle of 28 days. Treatment will continue until disease progression, development of unacceptable toxicity, non-compliance, withdrawal of consent by the patient or investigator decision. The main goal is to determine progression-free survival rate (PFSR) according to RECIST 1.1 at 6 months.
