Active clinical trials for "Sarcoma, Alveolar Soft Part"

The purpose of this study is to learn if a vaccine made from the patient's own tumor cells, then genetically modified to secrete granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), will delay or stop the growth of the tumor. It will also look at the vaccine's effects on the immune system and the side effects of giving a vaccine made from a subject's own cancer cells.

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.

This 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.

The main purpose of this study is to establish a safe and tolerable dose combination (the "maximum tolerated dose") of selinexor and ixazomib when used together for the treatment of patients with certain types of advanced sarcoma. The study will enroll patients with advanced dedifferentiated liposarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, alveolar soft part sarcoma and Ewing sarcoma. Future studies to further evaluate the safety and anti-cancer efficacy of this treatment for sarcoma will use the dose combination determined in this study.

This study is a single-arm, phase 2 trial of Geptanolimab in patients with initially unresectable, recurrent or metastatic ASPS. The study aims to study the activity of Geptanolimab assessed per RECIST 1.1 and iRECIST criteria, and safety profile.

After a screening, which consists of biopsy, physical examination, initial diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI-MRI) or body computed tomography (CT) scan, blood tests and case analysis on Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) meeting, a patient will receive the hypofractionated radiotherapy 10x 3.25 Gy with regional hyperthermia (twice a week) within two weeks. The response analysis in CT or DWI-MRI and toxicity assessment will be performed after at least 6 weeks. At the second MDT meeting, a final decision about resectability of the tumor will be made. In case of resectability or consent for amputation, if required, a patient will be referred to surgery. In case of unresectability or amputation refusal, the patient will receive the second part of the treatment which consists of 4x 4 Gy with hyperthermia (twice a week).

The study is a two-arm, randomised, double-blind, international, multi-centre phase II trial of cediranib in Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma (ASPS). The study aims to confirm the ability of cediranib to halt disease progression in patients with metastatic ASPS, as measured by the change in tumour size at 24 weeks after randomisation, and to produce objective response according to RECIST criteria.

Background: Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare tumor. ASPS is resistant to chemotherapy and radiation. ASPS is characterized by slow growth. Currently no in vitro or in vivo models of ASPS exist for use in experimental therapeutic studies or biological investigations. Primary Objectives: Acquisition of blood and tissue from patients with ASPS. Acquisition of blood from healthy controls for comparison with blood from patients with ASPS. These control samples will be obtained from study NCI at Frederick Protocol OH99-C-N046. Eligibility: Subjects of any age with a diagnosis of primary or metastatic alveolar soft part sarcoma who are undergoing medically indicated surgery for their disease. Design: Patients with Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma (ASPS) will be eligible for this study. Biopsy tissue will be obtained as an additional sample at the time of a medically indicated procedure. Blood sample may be collected at initial visit and follow-up visits. Specific risks will be described in a separate consent to be obtained at the time of the biopsy. Tumor samples and blood samples will be processed and/or stored for use in research efforts in the laboratory of Dr. David Vistica, National Cancer Institute, Frederick, MD. Additionally, blood samples will be obtained from healthy volunteers for comparison to patients with ASPS. These control samples will be obtained from the National Cancer Institute at Frederick Protocol OH99-C-N046.

This research trial studies genes in tissue samples from younger and adolescent patients with soft tissue sarcomas. Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors find better ways to treat cancer
