Active clinical trials for "Sarcoma"

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 phase I clinical trial evaluates the safety and feasibility of administering NY-ESO-1 TCR (T cell receptor)engineered peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) after a myeloablative conditioning regimen to treat patients with cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. The conditioning chemotherapy makes room in the patient?s bone marrow for new blood cells (PBMC) and blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. Giving NY-ESO-1 TCR PBMC and stem cells after the conditioning chemotherapy is intended to replace the immune system with new immune cells that have been redirected to attack and kill the cancer cells and thereby improve immune system function against cancer.

Project Summary - Aggressive soft tissue cancers are commonly treated with radiation followed by surgery. These wounds have a very high rate of wound complications and infection (30%), resulting in more surgeries, longer hospital stays and complex nursing care. Previous research shows that negative pressure (vacuum) dressings applied to the incision at the end of surgery can reduce these complications. The Investigator and his team across Canada will perform a clinical trial comparing standard dressings to these vacuum dressings. The results of this study have the potential to immediately improve the quality of life of soft tissue cancer patients. It can also decrease the amount of time required in hospital and reduce the cost to the Canadian healthcare system.

This study intends to determine if any correlation exists between administration of TXA or not to musculoskeletal oncology patients undergoing endoprosthetic reconstruction and blood loss and blood transfusion rates.

The purpose of the study is to utilize radiomic images to precisely locate areas of tumor that can be treated with dose escalation radiation therapy.

This is a phase II, multicenter, non-randomized study. The main objective is to evaluate the treatment with hypofractionated radiation therapy in neo-adjuvant and adjuvant situations on wound healing in a population of aged patients (≥ 70 years old) or ≥ 65 years of age defined as "fragile" and treated for soft tissue sarcoma. A maximum of 70 patients will be included in this study, divided in 2 groups (35 patients per arms): a neo-adjuvant cohort and an adjuvant cohort. In the neo-adjuvant cohort, patients will receive an hypofractionated radiation therapy prior to surgery. In the adjuvant cohort, patients will undergo a surgery before receive the hypofractionated radiation therapy. Each patient will be followed for up to 3 years after the end of complete treatment (radiotherapy + surgery or surgery + radiotherapy).

To investigate the feasibility and peri-operative complications of preoperative hypo-fractionated radiotherapy followed by surgery for retroperitoneal sarcoma

This is an investigator-initiated industry-supported phase 1 clinical trial conducted in the phase 1 clinic at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center who will hold the Investigational New Drug (IND). Lvygen Biopharma will provide as investigational supply LVGN3616, LVGN6051 and LVGN7409 at no cost to the patients on this study. This study will explore antitumor activity of four LVGN3616 and LVGN6051 based regimens in seven selected tumor types:

This is a single-arm, phase II study that will enroll a total of 45 subjects. All subjects will have a confirmed diagnosis of metastatic or unresectable soft tissue sarcoma or bone sarcoma. All subjects must have intact Rb, identified at the time of screening, by immunohistochemistry testing of submitted tumor specimen. Subjects will receive Abemaciclib 200 mg twice daily until progression or discontinuation criteria are met.

This is a multi-centre, open label, randomized phase 3 selection study (1:2:2 randomization). After confirmation of the eligibility criteria, 185 patients will be randomized 1:2:2 to either the control arm (doxorubicin 60-75 mg/m² IV every 3 weeks) or experimental arm 1 (doxorubicin 12 mg/m2 IV every week) or experimental arm 2 (cyclophosphamide 100 mg orally BD plus prednisolone 10-20 mg orally on day 1 to day 7 of each 14 day cycle). HRQoL assessment will be performed every 3 weeks during the first 12 weeks and every 12 weeks thereafter until month 12 after start of treatment. Disease evaluation will be performed every 12 weeks until progression. The primary endpoint of the study is difference among the study arms in physical and role functioning at 12 weeks.
