Active clinical trials for "Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor"

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of exatecan mesylate in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory Ewing's sarcoma or peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor or desmoplastic small round cell tumor.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of tanespimycin in treating young patients with recurrent or refractory leukemia or selected solid tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as tanespimycin, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

This study is a Phase 1, open-label, dose escalation and cohort expansion trial designed to characterize the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, immunogenicity and preliminary antitumor activity of enoblituzumab administered IV on a weekly schedule for up to 96 doses (approximately 2 years) in children and young adults with B7-H3-expressing relapsed or refractory malignant solid tumors.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well gemcitabine hydrochloride works with or without pazopanib hydrochloride in treating patients with refractory soft tissue sarcoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Pazopanib hydrochloride may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether gemcitabine hydrochloride is more effective with or without pazopanib hydrochloride in treating patients with soft tissue sarcoma.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if heated intra-abdominal cisplatin can help to control abdominal tumors in patients having surgery to remove the tumors. The safety of this drug will also be studied.

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.

RATIONALE: Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well imatinib mesylate works in treating patients with recurrent Ewing's family of tumors or desmoplastic small round-cell tumor.

An open-label, non-comparative study conducted to investigate the activity and safety of imatinib mesylate in refractory desmoplastic small round cell tumors expressing PDGF-R. Patients will be treated up to 12 months, or to disease progression. Tumor will be evaluated according to Recist criteria

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of imatinib mesylate in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory solid tumors of childhood. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth.

A two-cohort, fase II, open-label, non-randomized, multicenter clinical trial. 14 sites in Spain. Cohort 1: Subjects with desmoid tumor (DT) Cohort 2: Subjects with desmoplastic small round cell tumor or Ewing sarcoma (DSRCT and ES) Nab-paclitaxel (ABRAXANE) will be administered as follows: Age ≥ 21 and ≤ 80 years: 125 mg/m2 days 1, 8 and 15 in cycles of 28 days Age ≥ 6 months and ≤ 20 years: 240 mg/m2 days 1, 8 and 15 in cycles of 28 days Subjects in the DT cohort will receive a maximum of three cycles. Subjects in the DSRCT and ES cohort will receive unlimited cycles until disease progression, the subject begins a new anticancer treatment, withdrawal of parent/guardian/subject consent/assent, parent/guardian/subject refusal, physician decision, toxicity that cannot be managed by dose delay or dose reduction alone or the study ends for any reason. The main goal is to determine the objective response rate (ORR), using RECIST 1.1 criteria and to determine the clinical benefit rate (CBR), defined as CR+PR+SD for 3 months with improvement of pain with at least minimally important difference (MID) of 2 in subjects with desmoid tumors (DT cohort) and to determine the objective response rate (ORR) in subjects with desmoplastic small round cell tumor and Ewing sarcoma, using RECIST 1.1 criteria (DSRCT and ES cohort)
