Active clinical trials for "Osteosarcoma"

This study is designed to test the safety and feasibility of the simultaneous administration of a biphosphonate with chemotherapy for the treatment of osteosarcoma in newly diagnosed patients.

Relapsed and/or refractory neuroblastoma, osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma and melanoma are considered difficult to treat and cure. For this study we are testing the use of a new experimental (investigational) antibody called hu14.18K322A. GD2 is expressed on the surface of most of these tumor types. Two schedules of hu14.18K322A antibody will be evaluated in this study, (1) daily for four consecutive days schedule every 28 days and (2) once weekly for 4 weeks schedule every 28 days. Approximately 25-40 participants will be required to define the maximum tolerated dose for each schedule. Participants will continue on treatment for a maximum of 4 to 8 courses or until one or more of the criteria for off-treatment are met.

This phase II trial is studying how well ixabepilone works in treating young patients with refractory solid tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ixabepilone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

This phase II trial is studying how well oxaliplatin works in treating young patients with recurrent solid tumors that have not responded to previous treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of ridaforolimus when administered once daily for 5 consecutive days (QDx5) every two weeks in participants with advanced sarcoma.

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.

Phase Ib/IIa open label safety and efficacy study designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose of inhaled cisplatin liposomal (SLIT cisplatin) administered every 14 days to patients with relapsed/progressive osteosarcoma metastatic to the lung.

This 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.

This trial (OS99) evaluates the use of ifosfamide, carboplatin, and doxorubicin in an up-front window before surgery for localized and resectable osteosarcoma. High-dose methotrexate, which may interfere with the dose-intensive delivery of other agents, is eliminated from the treatment of localized disease. The primary objective is to compare the response rate of pre-surgical chemotherapy comprised of ifosfamide, doxorubicin, and carboplatin to that obtained with ifosfamide and carboplatin in the St. Jude OS-91 trial for patients with non-metastatic resectable osteosarcoma. We hypothesize that the histologic response rate will be improved by the addition of one course of pre-operative chemotherapy on this trial compared to the previous OS-91 trial.

The primary purpose of your participation in this study is to help answer the following research questions, and not to provide you treatment for your condition. To assess how well treatment with pemetrexed works for patients with your type of cancer To assess for any side effects that might be associated with pemetrexed. To look at the characteristics and levels of certain of your genes and proteins to learn more about osteosarcoma and how pemetrexed works in your body.
