Active clinical trials for "Sarcoma, Clear Cell"

The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility (ability to be done) of experimental technologies to determine a tumor's molecular makeup. This technology includes a genomic report based on DNA exomes and RNA sequencing that will be used to discover new ways to understand cancers and potentially predict the best treatments for patients with cancer in the future.

This trial is a translational, open-label, multi-sites, prospective and retrospective cohort study of 500 patients aimed at clinical and biological characterization of sarcoma of rare subtype. 400 patients will be included in this prospective cohort study; they will be identified in the investigating centers in the context of either routine care or a clinical study protocol. Retrospective cases of patients (100 cases in total) will be identified in all centers through the GSF/GETO clinical databases already setted up (including the clinical base Conticabase).

This research trial studies kidney tumors in younger patients. Collecting and storing samples of tumor tissue, blood, and urine from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

This is a phase 2 study that will assess the efficacy of AMG 337 in subjects with advanced or metastatic clear cell sarcoma that contains the EWSR1-ATF1 gene fusion.

The goal of this trial in Phase I is to determine the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of hydroxychloroquine in combination with devimistat in patients with relapsed or refractory Clear Cell Sarcomas of the Soft Tissue and to describe the full toxicity profile. In Phase II, the goal is to evaluate the response rate [Complete Rate (CR) + Partial Rate (PR)] of the combination of devimistat and hydroxychloroquine in patients with relapse or refractory Clear Cell Sarcoma of the Soft Tissue and to evaluate the PK and PK/PD profiles for efficacy and safety of the combination of devimistat and hydroxychloroquine.

The best treatment for recurrent cancers or those that do not respond to therapies is not known. Typically, patients with these cancers receive a combination of cancer drugs (chemotherapy), surgery, or radiation therapy. These treatments can prolong their life but may not offer a long-term cure. This study proposes using a drug called Sirolimus in combination with common chemotherapy drugs to treat patients with recurrent and refractory solid tumors. Sirolimus has been found to inhibit cell growth and to have anti-tumor activity in pediatric solid tumors in previous studies and, therefore, has the potential to increase the effectiveness of the chemotherapy drugs when given together. This study wil investigate the highest dose of Sirolimus that can be given orally with other oral chemotherapy drugs. Cohorts of 2 subjects will be started at the minimum dose. The dose will be increased in the next 2 subjects as long as there were no major reactions in the previous groups. This study will also seek to learn more about the side effects of sirolimus when used in this combination and what effects the drug has on the white cells and the immune system. Successful use of this drug will impact the cancer population greatly by providing an increased chance of survival to those with resistant or recurrent cancers.

The study will primarily assess the antitumor activity of crizotinib in a variety of tumors with alterations in ALK and/or MET pathways. The targeted patient population will include patients with tumors harboring specific alterations leading to ALK and/or MET activation, where tyrosine kinase inhibitors against these targets have not yet been adequately explored.

This phase II trial studies how well therapeutic angiotensin-(1-7) works as second-line therapy or third-line therapy in treating patients with metastatic sarcoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Therapeutic angiotensin-(1-7) may stop the growth of sarcoma by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Funding Source - FDA Office of Orphan Drug Products (OOPD)

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of dalteparin when given together with sunitinib malate in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other parts of the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Anticoagulants, such as dalteparin, help prevent blood clots and have been shown to increase survival in patients with cancer. Anticoagulants may also prevent the formation of new blood vessels. Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by inhibiting new blood vessels and blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving dalteparin together with sunitinib malate may starve tumors and kill more tumor cells.

This phase II trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or surgery work in treating patients with high-risk kidney tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.
