Active clinical trials for "Sarcoma, Ewing"

This pilot clinical trial studies whole-body radiation therapy, systemic chemotherapy, and high-dose chemotherapy followed by stem cell rescue in treating patients with poor-risk Ewing sarcoma. Giving chemotherapy and radiation therapy before a peripheral blood stem cell or bone marrow transplant stops the growth of tumor cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. After treatment, stem cells are collected from the patient's blood and stored. More chemotherapy is given to prepare the bone marrow for stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy

This pilot trial studies fluorine F 18 fluorothymidine (18F-FLT) positron emission tomography and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in planing surgery and radiation therapy and measuring response in patients with newly diagnosed Ewing sarcoma. Comparing results of diagnostic procedures done before and after treatment may help doctors predict a patient's response and help plan the best treatment.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, etoposide, and topotecan, 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. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating Ewing's sarcoma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying combination chemotherapy and topotecan to see how well they work compared with combination chemotherapy alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed localized Ewing's sarcoma.

This is an open label, two-stratum, phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of 9-ING-41 in combination with gemcitabine/docetaxel in patients ≥10 years of age with advanced sarcoma. 9-ING-41 in combination with gemcitabine and docetaxel will lead to sustained disease control and/or increase the rates of objective response in patients with unresectable or metastatic soft tissue and bone sarcomas.

This phase Ib/II trial studies best dose and side effects of lurbinectedin and how well it works with or without irinotecan in treating patients with Ewing sarcoma that has come back (relapsed) or is high risk and has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Lurbinectedin may decrease chemicals in the body related to Ewing sarcoma, and reducing these chemicals may make the tumor cells more sensitive to irinotecan. Chemotherapy drugs, such as irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether giving lurbinectedin with or without irinotecan may work better in treating patients with Ewing sarcoma.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Doxil (liposomal doxorubicin) given prior to MR-HIFU Hyperthermia is safe for the treatment of pediatric and young adult patients with recurrent and refractory solid tumors.

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well imetelstat sodium works in treating younger patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors. Imetelstat sodium may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Local recurrence after surgical resection is a complex phenomenon. An important predictive factor is the response to chemotherapy. Central site of disease may be a second independent predictive factor (Lin et al. 2007). Patients with more than 10% viable tumour cells at surgery following neo-adjuvant chemotherapy had a less favourable outcome with an Event-free Survival [EFS] of 47% after 10 years. Patients with good histological response (< 10% viable tumour cells) after chemotherapy alone had a prognosis of about 70% after 10 years. However, further studies are necessary to determine the merit of adjuvant radiation for high-risk patients (poor responders). Taking into consideration that the toxicity and morbidity of combined surgery and radiation is greater than either alone and must be closely monitored.

The purpose of this study is to examine the toxicity of using allogeneic stem cell transplantation for treatment of subjects with relapsed or refractory Ewing Sarcoma (ES). Donors will consist of either Human Leukocyte Antigen identical (HLA)or 9/10 (A, B, C, DR, DQ [A, B, C, are Class I markers for HLA and DR and DQ are Class II markers for Matching for Transplant for Donors to match with recipient]) matched related or unrelated donors. Specifically, we will examine: The toxicity of allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) in this patient population, as related to incidence of grade 3-4 acute Graft Verse Host Disease (GVHD). The incidence of transplant related mortality at 100 days.

This is a Phase I, open label study aimed at assessing the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of a single injection of XM22 in children with Ewing family of tumors or rhabdomyosarcoma scheduled to receive chemotherapy (CTX)
