Active clinical trials for "Sarcoma"

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of combination therapy with liposomal doxorubicin and peposertib in treating patients with sarcoma that has spread from where it first started, to other places in the body (metastatic), or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) and for which no known cure is available (advanced). Doxorubicin is in a class of medications called anthracyclines. Doxorubicin damages the cell's DNA and may kill cancer cells. It also blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair. Liposomal doxorubicin is a form of the anticancer drug doxorubicin that is contained inside very tiny, fat-like particles. Liposomal doxorubicin may have fewer side effects and work better than other forms of the drug. Peposertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It may also enhance the activity of chemo- and radiotherapy. There is some pre-clinical evidence in animal models that combining peposertib with liposomal doxorubicin can shrink or stabilize certain types of cancer for longer than either drug alone, but it is not known if this will happen in people. Combination therapy with liposomal doxorubicin and peposertib may be effective in patients with advanced sarcoma.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Pegamotecan (Peg-Camptothecin) in patients with Advanced or Metastatic Soft Tissue sarcoma.

This is a prospective multi-center interventional study that will be performed in an effort to assess the diagnostic accuracy performance of preoperative vaginal ultrasound-guided biopsy (VUGB) to detect the exact histology of uterine tumors and thereafter triage cases being eligible for morcellation during laparoscopic resection. Ten tertiary French centers will participate in the present study.

This phase II trial compares the effect of treatment with palbociclib alone to treatment with palbociclib plus cemiplimab for treating patients with dedifferentiated liposarcoma that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Palbociclib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cemiplimab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. The combination of these two drugs may be more effective in shrinking or stabilizing advanced dedifferentiated liposarcoma compared to palbociclib alone.

This trial is a prospective, monocentric, with minimal risks and constraints study, conducted in patients with Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS) of the limbs and trunk with indication for neoadjuvant radiotherapy (RT). Patients will be treated by neoadjuvant RT and will have a pre-RT and a post-RT multiparametric quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). A tumor resection will be performed 6 to 8 weeks post-RT and an anatomopathological observation of the surgical specimen will be performed. This study will allow to describe the initial remnographic characteristics and their evolution after neoadjuvant RT using quantitative multiparametric MRI (mpMRI).

Multicenter double-blind placebo-controlled randomized Phase II study comparing regorafenib® to placebo, as maintenance therapy in metastatic soft-tissue non-adipocytic sarcomas experiencing stable disease or response after 6 cycles of doxorubicin-based chemotherapy as 1st line chemotherapy.

Post-radiotherapy fragility fractures (caused by weakened bones) are an occasional complication of orthopedic oncology of soft tissue sarcoma patients. Treatment for impending fracture due to radiotherapy does exist in the form of operative stabilization, to prevent the bone from breaking. Without the ability to predict those patients at a higher risk for fracture, indications for treatment are difficult to determine. This study is to determine if there is a correlation between patients undergoing radiotherapy for soft tissue sarcoma and loss of bone density. The study wll evaluate bone loss for short and long term fracture prediction using dual-energy xray, absorptiometry (DEXA [DXA]) and computerized tomography scans (CT Scans)

This study evaluates the use of a new imaging agent called fluorodopa F 18 (18F-DOPA) with positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) for assessing treatment response in patients undergoing standard of care radiation therapy and/or surgery for high-grade soft tissue sarcomas that are new or that have come back (recurrent). Though there have been improvements in treatment options for soft tissue sarcomas, there is currently a need for a non-invasive way to determine a patient's potential benefit from receiving one of these treatments. 18F-DOPA with PET/MRI allows a patient's tumor to be visualized and their response to a given treatment assessed.

Pediatric soft tissue sarcoma is made up of different subtypes, some of which have distinct genetic alterations. Fusion variants were found in about 43% of bone and soft tissue sarcoma samples. Ewing sarcoma is characterized by recurrent chromosome translocation, with up to 95% of cases showing EWS-ETS translocation. The genetic features of the tumor can change as it spreads or shrinks, and can also be influenced by treatment. To better understand treatment response and predict relapse early, our study collects liquid samples such as blood, bone marrow, or cerebrospinal fluid at various points during treatment. We then use next-generation sequencing to dynamically monitor the unique genetic profile of the tumor. Additionally, our research may identify new genetic targets and suggest potential treatment options.
