Active clinical trials for "Sarcoma"

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the study drug RAD001 can stop or slow the growth of resectable soft tissue sarcoma. The patient's physical state, their symptoms, changes in the size of the tumor, and laboratory findings obtained while on-study will help the research team decide if RAD001 is safe and effective in patients with this condition. The study drug, RAD001, is made by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation.

Objectives: To determine if dose intensive Vincristine, Doxorubicin, Cyclophosphamide and Dexrazoxane (VACdxr) with or without ImmTherTM can improve the 2-year disease-free survival seen with standard VAC therapy. To evaluate the feasibility and describe the toxicity associated with VACdxr. To evaluate the feasibility and describe the toxicity of administering ImmTherTM on a weekly basis for 50- 52 weeks. To determine which therapy (VACdxr+ or VACdxr-) is worthy of further evaluation.

To assess the safety, tolerability and determine recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of GSK3845097 in HLA-A*02:01, HLA-A*02:05 and/or HLA-A*02:06 positive participants with New York esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (NY-ESO)-1 and/or Cancer testis antigen 2 (LAGE-1a) positive, previously treated, advanced (metastatic or unresectable) Synovial Sarcoma (SS) and Myxoid/Round Cell Liposarcoma (MRCLS).

This study will enroll patients who have a diagnosis of locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic soft tissue or bone sarcoma (except gastrointestinal stromal tumors and Kaposi's sarcoma) from any site.

Background: - Some people have cancers that don't respond to standard treatments. In these cases, doctors may try to use drugs to slow the growth of the cancer. Objectives: - To test the safety and efficacy of the drug combination of ganetespib and ziv-aflibercept. Eligibility: - Adults age 18 and over with advanced cancer of the colon, lung, urinary tract, and sarcomas. Design: Participants will be screened with medical history, blood tests, and scans to measure their tumors. Participants will have one or two eye exams, with dilating eye drops. Participants will get the study drugs at the clinic as an infusion in a vein. Ganetespib will be given once a week on the same day for 3 weeks in a row, followed by a 1-week rest period. Ziv-aflibercept will be given once every other week. The drugs will be given in 28-day cycles. Participants may have a small piece of their tumor collected once or twice. This is done using a small needle during computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound scan. Participants will have their blood pressure checked at each visit. They will check it at home every day of the study. Participants may have one or more whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) scans with 89Zr-panitumumab. A small amount of a radioactive chemical will be injected through a tube in an arm. Participants will lie on a bed that slides in and out of the donut-shaped PET scanner. They will have small amounts of blood drawn. Participants may stay in the study as long as they are tolerating the drugs and their tumor is not getting worse.

This is a Phase 2, single-arm, Japanese multicenter trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of TH-302 in combination with doxorubicin in subjects with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma (STS).

This pilot clinical trial studies gemcitabine hydrochloride, docetaxel, and radiation therapy in treating patients with uterine sarcoma that has been removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.

This phase II trial studies how well cryoablation, radiofrequency ablation, or microwave ablation works in treating patients with metastatic sarcoma stable on chemotherapy. Cryoablation kills tumor cells by freezing them. Radiofrequency ablation uses a high-frequency, electric current to kill tumor cells. Microwave ablation kills tumor cells by heating them to several degrees above body temperature.

The goals of this study is to determine if nelfinavir can target Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) in patients with certain cancers.

This is an exploratory, prospective, open label, single arm, phase II-study for the evaluation of efficacy and feasibility (as determined by safety and tolerability) of olaratumab and doxorubicin rechallenge in anthracycline pretreated locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma patients.
