Safety and Efficacy Study of REOLYSIN® in the Treatment of Bone and Soft Tissue Sarcomas Metastatic...
OsteosarcomaEwing Sarcoma Family Tumors5 moreThe purpose of this Phase 2 study is to investigate whether intravenous administration of REOLYSIN® therapeutic reovirus is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with bone and soft tissue sarcomas metastatic to the lung.
Depsipeptide (Romidepsin) in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Unresectable Soft Tissue Sarcoma...
Adult Alveolar Soft-part SarcomaAdult Angiosarcoma18 moreThis phase II trial studies how well depsipeptide (romidepsin) works in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable soft tissue sarcoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as depsipeptide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
Surgery Followed by Chemotherapy in Treating Young Patients With Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Childhood Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma of BoneSarcomaRATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one chemotherapy drug with surgery and/or radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying surgery followed by different regimens of combination chemotherapy given together with radiation therapy and/or additional surgery to compare how well they work in treating patients with soft tissue sarcoma.
Study to Find a Safe Dose and Show Early Clinical Activity of Weekly Nab-paclitaxel in Pediatric...
NeuroblastomaRhabdomyosarcoma28 moreThe purpose of this study is to find the safe dose of nab-paclitaxel in children with solid tumors, and to see if it works to treat these solid tumors in children and young adults (in Phase 1 ≤ 18 years old and in Phase 2 ≤ 24 years old). After the final dose has been chosen, patients will be enrolled according to the specific solid tumor type, (neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, or Ewing's sarcoma), to see how nab-paclitaxel works in treating these tumors.
Gemcitabine and Docetaxel With Bevacizumab in Selected Sarcoma Subtypes
SarcomaLeiomyosarcoma3 moreThe purpose of this study is to test whether an experimental drug called bevacizumab given together with gemcitabine and docetaxel, a standard chemotherapy regimen for sarcoma, can help sarcoma patients. This trial will examine what effects, good and/or bad the combination of gemcitabine, docetaxel and bevacizumab has on sarcoma.
Bevacizumab and Radiation Therapy for Sarcomas
Soft Tissue SarcomaFibrous Histiocytoma4 moreThe main purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of bevacizumab in combination with radiation therapy to see what effects (good or bad) they have on patients with soft tissue sarcoma. Bevacizumab is an antibody designed specifically to slow or stop the growth of cancerous tumors by decreasing the blood supply to the tumor. Bevacizumab is approved by the FDA in combination with intravenous 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy as a treatment for patients with cancer of the colon or rectum that has spread. However, the use of bevacizumab in combination with radiation for sarcomas is still under investigation.
Sorafenib in Treating Patients With Metastatic, Locally Advanced, or Recurrent Sarcoma
Adult AngiosarcomaAdult Epithelioid Sarcoma13 moreThis phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib works in treating patients with metastatic, locally advanced, or recurrent sarcoma. Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
Celecoxib and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage II or Stage III Soft Tissue Sarcoma...
Childhood Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma of BoneSarcomaRATIONALE: Celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving celecoxib together with radiation therapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of celecoxib when given together with radiation therapy in treating patients with stage II or stage III soft tissue sarcoma of the arm, hand, leg, or foot that has been removed by surgery.
Observation, Radiation Therapy, Combination Chemotherapy, and/or Surgery in Treating Young Patients...
Adult Alveolar Soft-part SarcomaAdult Angiosarcoma27 moreThis phase III trial is studying observation to see how well a risk based treatment strategy works in patients with soft tissue sarcoma. In the study, patients are assigned to receive surgery +/- radiotherapy +/- chemotherapy depending on their risk of recurrence. Sometimes, after surgery, the tumor may not need additional treatment until it progresses. In this case, observation may be sufficient. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ifosfamide and doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy and radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving these treatments after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.
Imatinib Mesylate in Treating Patients With Advanced Soft Tissue Sarcoma or Bone Sarcoma
Childhood Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma of BoneSarcomaRATIONALE: Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of imatinib mesylate in treating patients who have metastatic or unresectable locally advanced soft tissue sarcoma or bone sarcoma.
