Active clinical trials for "Sarcoma, Ewing"

This study will examine the response rate and the 6-month progression-free survival rates of subjects with advanced sarcoma treated with dasatinib.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining gemcitabine with docetaxel may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining gemcitabine with docetaxel in treating patients who have recurrent osteosarcoma, recurrent Ewing's sarcoma, or unresectable or locally recurrent chondrosarcoma.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of oxaliplatin when given together with irinotecan in treating young patients with refractory solid tumors or lymphomas. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin and irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Oxaliplatin may help irinotecan kill more cancer cells by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drug. Giving oxaliplatin together with irinotecan may kill more cancer cells.

RATIONALE: Radioactive drugs, such as holmium Ho 166 DOTMP, may carry radiation directly to cancer cells and not harm normal cells. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace stem cells that were destroyed by the radioactive drug. PURPOSE: This Phase I/II trial is studying the effectiveness of holmium Ho 166 DOTMP followed by peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have metastatic Ewing's sarcoma or rhabdomyosarcoma that has spread to the bone.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. It is not yet known which chemotherapy regimen combined with radiation therapy and/or surgery is more effective in treating Ewing's sarcoma or primitive neuroectodermal tumor. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of different chemotherapy regimens combined with radiation therapy and/or surgery in treating patients who have Ewing's sarcoma or primitive neuroectodermal tumor.

This research study is designed to study the combination of two drugs, palbociclib and ganitumab, as a potential treatment for Ewing sarcoma. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: Palbociclib Ganitumab

Indo-cyanine green (ICG) is a dye that has been used for a variety of adult and paediatric uses since 1956. Over the past few years, near infrared (NIRF) technology has been developed which allow is use as a fluorescence agent during surgery. It has been used increasingly in the field of adult oncology surgery and has been shown to increase the efficacy of this surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of NIRF and ICG during specific minimally invasive surgery (MIS) procedures within paediatric oncology surgery. Their use will complement existing surgical techniques rather than replace them. Given the published advantages in adults this study aims to provide evidence of feasibility in the paediatric patients with cancer.

Study for the treatment of metastatic Ewing sarcoma with high doses chemotherapy, radiotherapy and maintenance therapy.

A two-part trial in patients with metastic Ewing's sarcoma. Participants in Part 1 will be randomized to receive either Vigil immunotherapy or gemcitabine and docetaxel with the objective of comparing the overall survival between the two arms. Participants enrolled in Part 2 will receive Vigil immunotherapy in combination of temozolomide and irinotecan with the objective to determine the safety profile of the combination treatment.

IMRiS is a phase II trial which aims to assess the feasibility, efficacy and toxicity of Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) in three different cohorts of patients with primary bone and soft tissue sarcoma and to demonstrate whether IMRT can improve on current clinical outcomes. Cohort 1 of the trial is now closed to recruitment.
