Active clinical trials for "Sarcoma"

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.

Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well sunitinib malate works in treating patients with Kaposi sarcoma.

Primary: To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of palifermin in reducing the incidence and severity of oral mucositis (OM) in patients with sarcoma receiving multicycle chemotherapy. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of palifermin when given pre chemotherapy. To evaluate the safety profile of palifermin when combined with multicycle chemotherapy. Exploratory: To evaluate the biologic effect of palifermin on oral mucosa. To investigate potential biomarker development by biochemical analysis in blood cells, serum, and plasma. To investigate the effects of genetic variation in mucositis genes, drug metabolism genes, and drug target genes on patient response to the treatment regimen.

To determine the percentage of patients and number of cycles in which a packed red blood cell transfusion was administered due to anemia and in which antibiotics were administered due to neutropenic fever.

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy may make wound healing problems less likely by 1)precisely shaping the region of high radiation dose to the shape of the tissue which harbours tumour cells, and 2) precisely shaping the regions of low radiation dose to the shapes of the normal tissues which are more sensitive to radiation effects.

Intensive chemotherapy is associated with significant thrombocytopenia, often requiring platelet transfusion to maintain platelet counts. This investigational drug has demonstrated the ability to increase platelet counts. This study will test the safety and efficacy of an investigational drug in the prevention of thrombocytopenia in patients with high-risk sarcoma receiving AI (Adriamycin/Ifosfamide) chemotherapy.

The investigators' study titled "PROTONS-RPS: a Phase II non-Randomized Open-label single-arm Trial Of Neoadjuvant Short-course hypofractionated proton beam therapy for non-metastatic RetroPeritoneal Sarcoma" is a phase II trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of hypofractionated proton beam therapy (H-PBT) in the neoadjuvant (NA) setting for patients with non-metastatic retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS) planned for surgical resection. This trial will include adult patients with resectable RPS.

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.

Adoptive T-cell therapy is a therapeutic approach that aims to generate an anti-tumor T-cell immune response by infusing a cancer subjects own T-cells obtained by leukapheresis, engineered and expanded in-vitro to express a tumor specific T-cell receptor. NY-ESO-1 and LAGE-1a antigens are tumor-associated proteins that have been found in several tumor types, including synovial sarcoma. This is an open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GSK3377794 (genetically engineered NY-ESO-1 Specific [c259] T Cells), in combination with anticancer agents including pembrolizumab in subjects with NY-ESO-1 and/or LAGE-1a positive relapsed and refractory synovial sarcoma. The study will consist of a target expression screening to determine if subjects are human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A*02:01, HLA-A*02:05 and/or HLA-A*02:06 positive and if their tumors express NY-ESO-1 and/or LAGE-1a, followed by a leukapheresis screening phase of up to 42 days prior to leukapheresis. Eligible subjects will enter a leukapheresis phase followed by lymphodepletion phase with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine. During the treatment phase, subjects will be administered GSK3377794 on Day 1 followed by pembrolizumab infusion once every 3 weeks from Day 22 (or Week 7) for up to 2 years. There will be a long-term follow-up phase from the end of treatment phase and for up to 15 years from the date of GSK3377794 administration.
