Active clinical trials for "Sarcoma, Ewing"

This phase II trial investigates side effects and how well donor stem cell transplant after chemotherapy works in treating pediatric and adolescent-young adults with high-risk solid tumor that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine, thiotepa, etoposide, melphalan, and rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin 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. Giving chemotherapy before a donor stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into a patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make more healthy cells and platelets and may help destroy any remaining cancer cells.

3CAR is being done to investigate an immunotherapy for patients with solid tumors. It is a Phase I clinical trial evaluating the use of autologous T cells genetically engineered to express B7-H3-CARs for patients ≤ 21 years old, with relapsed/refractory B7-H3+ solid tumors. This study will evaluate the safety and maximum tolerated dose of B7-H3-CAR T cells.The purpose of this study is to find the maximum (highest) dose of B7-H3-CAR T cells that are safe to give to patients with B7-H3-positive solid tumors. Primary objective To determine the safety of one intravenous infusion of autologous, B7-H3-CAR T cells in patients (≤ 21 years) with recurrent/refractory B7-H3+ solid tumors after lymphodepleting chemotherapy Secondary objective To evaluate the antitumor activity of B7-H3-CAR T cells Exploratory objectives To evaluate the tumor environment after treatment with B7-H3-CAR T cells To assess the immunophenotype, clonal structure and endogenous repertoire of B7-H3-CAR T cells and unmodified T cells To characterize the cytokine profile in the peripheral blood after treatment with B7-H3-CAR T cells

New drug efficacy in ES has been disappointing in the last decades and no new drugs have been successfully introduced up to now in front line treatment. Among the tested drugs, early clinical data suggest that strategies using multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) with anti-angiogenic activities are among the most efficient and may be beneficial in the treatment of patients with ES. Several TKI have been and are currently being tested as single-agent in patients with relapsed/refractory ES with encouraging results in phase II trials. Regorafenib has shown promising activity in Ewing sarcoma relapse setting, Nevertheless, regorafenib has never been combined with the intensive chemotherapy VDC/IE schedule and therefore this combination needs to be evaluated in order to avoid dose reduction of the current standard treatment and hence its efficacy. The current clinical trial has been therefore designed to test the feasibility of regorafenib with ES conventional chemotherapy. It consists of a phase Ib that will only recruit patients with multi-metastatic (other than lungs/pleura only) ES, that present the highest unmet medical need (2 year EFS: 33%, similar to patients with relapse/refractory ES).

Thanks to the intrinsic qualities of the proton beam, proton therapy will reduce adverse effects of irradiation. The Proteus®One is the latest generation of proton therapy equipment, enabling the Centre Antoine Lacassagne to expand its range of treatments by carrying out new proton therapy treatments. It has an innovative compact isocentric rotating head (Gantry) that allows the radiation beam to be directed at different angles around the patient. In some cases, two beams are used to treat tumours, and by convention, both beams are delivered during the same session. However, it is necessary to position the patient before each beam, which is time-consuming because 2 beams have to be positioned very precisely each day. The aim of this study is therefore to assess the toxicity of proton therapy delivered by a single daily beam compared with proton therapy delivered by two daily beams, which is the conventional technique.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether LY2880070 combined with the chemotherapy drug gemcitabine is an effective treatment for Ewing sarcoma or Ewing-like sarcoma.

This Pediatric MATCH screening and multi-sub-study phase II trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and/or for which no standard treatment exists that has been shown to prolong survival. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic mutation, and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

This rollover protocol allows continued access to seclidemstat (SP-2577) for patients who are still receiving clinical benefit on completed or closed Salarius sponsored studies.

Primitive bone sarcoma are rare tumors with low options of therapy for patient treatment. OSTEOSARCOMA VERY POOR RESPONDER COHORT. Necrosis on primitive localized osteosarcoma represents one of the principal prognostic factors. Nowadays, for localized osteosarcoma there is no maintenance therapy that have shown to be effective. In ISG-OS1 study in patients with necrosis < 60% had an event free survival (EFS) at 3 yrs of 20% (Ferrari S ) in a more recent analysis (Tsuda Y 2020) patients with a necrosis <60% had a 3 y EFS of 35% . OSTEOSARCOMA AND EWING'S SARCOMA AFTER FIRST RELAPSE Maintenance therapy after Complete Remission occurring after Ewing's sarcoma or osteosarcoma patients is not a standard rule. These patients when free from disease, after first relapse, are more likely to face a second relapse. EFS at ONE YEAR after first relapse in osteosarcoma is shown in literature to be around 21% (Leary SE 2013) and 16% (Tirtei E 2017). The EFS at ONE YEAR after first relapse in Ewing's sarcoma is inferior to 20% (Barker 2005, Ferrari S 2015). A maintenance therapy with low toxicity in these high risk patients could be an option. Metformin has been reported to a reduce the incidence of different type of cancer in diabetic patients. Metformin is well tolerated in diabetics an it is used in other conditions in non diabetic, as ovarian polycystic syndrome, metabolic syndrome and obesity. Metformin has been employed as chemoprevention related to its mechanism of action in breast cancer (NCT01101438 ) and in pediatric cancer together with chemotherapy (NCT01528046). This study aim to explore the effectiveness of metformin (a low cost and well tolerated drug) as maintenance therapy in osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma patients at high risk of relapse.

Ewing's sarcoma and related tumours (ESFT) are rare tumours, with a peak incidence in the second decade of life. They start most often from bone, and are characterized by a specific translocation involving the so-called EWS gene. In one patient out of three, the staging procedures detect metastatic tumours at the diagnosis, most commonly in lungs, bones, and bone marrow. ESFT treatment strategy is multidisciplinary, combining primary chemotherapy, a local treatment, and consolidation chemotherapy. The primary metastatic dissemination is the most important prognostic factor, as the survival rate is around 70-75% for localized tumours, in contrast with less than 50% for patients with primary metastatic disease. Among primary metastatic patients, bone involvement and / or bone marrow strike markedly the prognosis of these patients. While the long-term survival of patients with isolated pleural pulmonary metastases is approximately 50%, whereas it is only from 0 to 25% in patients with bone marrow involvement. In 1999, the Intergroup EURO EWING built a new study protocol for patients with Ewing tumours. For the patients with primary extrapulmonary metastatic Ewing tumours (R3 patients), the protocol proposed a heavy induction chemotherapy, in order to propose a consolidation with high dose chemotherapy to a higher rate of patients. The high-dose Busulfan Melphalan chemotherapy (BuMel) was based on Busulfan (600 mg/m²) and Melphalan (140 mg/m²), with autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) support. Of note, for the full population of patients with metastatic disease, the 3-year EFS rate was 27% (SD 3%), and the OS rate was 34% (SD 4%), with a median follow-up of 3.9 years after diagnosis, and a median survival time of 1.6 years.

This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well vemurafenib works in treating patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders with BRAF V600 mutations that have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and have come back (recurrent) or do not respond to treatment (refractory). Vemurafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
