Active clinical trials for "Sarcoma"

To assess if the CMB305 vaccine regimen may help the body's immune system to slow or stop the growth of synovial sarcoma tumor and improve survival.

The purpose of this study is to first, in Part A, assess the safety, tolerability and drug levels of Bempegaldesleukin (BEMPEG) in combination with nivolumab and then, in Part B, to estimate the preliminary efficacy in children, adolescents and young adults with recurrent or treatment-resistant cancer.

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of alectinib in participants with Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-positive locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors other than lung cancer.

This is an open-label phase II study of TAK-228 for patients ≥ 18 years of age with complex genomic sarcomas exhibiting Phosphoinositide-3 Kinase (PI3K) pathway dysregulation. Patients must have surgically unresectable or metastatic disease that is refractory to at least one prior line of therapy (not including neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy in a curative setting). Patients disease must also have evidence of progression prior to enrollment. The purpose of this study is to determine the antitumor activity in this group of patients. Patients must meet all eligibility criteria as detailed in section 10. A total of up to 33 patients will be included in the study. Patients will undergo screening evaluations to determine eligibility within 28 days of the first dose. All patients will be required to submit baseline tumor samples for analysis. Patients who have had their tumors tested commercially for PI3K/ AKT/mechanistic Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) alterations will be assessed on a case by case basis for eligibility and for determination as to whether additional tissue is required. TAK-228 will be administered orally at 3 mg daily for a 21 day cycle. Clinical and laboratory assessments will be made on day 1 of each cycle. Disease will be assessed by comparing unidimensional tumor measurements on pre and peritreatment imaging (CT or MRI) after weeks 6, 12, 18 and every 12 weeks thereafter. Response will be assessed according to RECIST 1.1. Therapy will continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent.

This is a prospective, multicentric, randomized, open label Phase II trial investigating whether the oral angiogenesis inhibitor nintedanib, as compared to the intravenous cytotoxic compound ifosfamide, given for patients with advanced, inoperable and/or metastatic STS after failure of first line chemotherapy prolongs progression-free survival. The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate whether nintedanib given as second-line therapy for advanced, inoperable and/or metastatic STS prolongs progression-free survival when compared with ifosfamide. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of nintedanib as compared to ifosfamide in terms of progression-free survival rate at 12 weeks, overall survival, objective response rate, patient benefit rate, response duration, total duration of treatment with nintedanib safety, Health related Quality of Life and Health Economics. Exploratory objectives include an analysis of putative predictive biomarkers for the anti-tumor effects of the investigational agent nintedanib.treatment.

Radiotherapy (RT) alone is able to induce a clinically significant effect with a variable pathologic response (a pathological complete remission, pCR, defined as ≥ 95%, or ≤ 5% remaining visible tumour cells) in only about 10% of cases. A prior phase I study (PASART-1; NCT01985295) suggested that 25 x 2 Gy preoperative RT in combination with once daily 800mg oral pazopanib is feasible, while inducing tissue replacing tumor that can consist of fibrosis and necrosis in 40% of thus treated patients. During this study, the interim analysis showed that the combination treatment of preoperative radiation with orally pazopanib is more effective than was anticipated. For this reason, the pazopanib dose of 800 mg once daily is maintained but the RT dose is reduced to 18x2Gy instead of 25x2Gy. Predominant aim of this RT dose reduction is lowering the wound complication risk after preoperative radiotherapy.

This is an open-label Phase 2 randomized study that will examine the use of the study agents, CMB305 (sequentially administered LV305 which is a dendritic cell-targeting viral vector expressing the New York Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma 1 gene [NY-ESO-1] and G305 which is a NY-ESO-1 recombinant protein plus glucopyranosyl lipid adjuvant-stable emulsion [GLA-SE]) in combination with atezolizumab or atezolizumab alone, in participants with locally advanced, relapsed or metastatic sarcoma (synovial or myxoid/round cell liposarcoma) expressing the NY-ESO-1 protein. There is no formal primary hypothesis for this study.

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies health care coach support in reducing acute care use and cost in patients with cancer. Health care coach support may help cancer patients to make decisions about their care that matches what is important to them with symptom management.

Maintenance therapy with trabectedin versus observation after first line treatment with doxorubicin of patients with advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma. This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, open label Phase III trial investigating whether a maintenance treatment with trabectedin, as compared to the observational approach, can prolong progression-free survival in patients with advanced, inoperable and/or metastatic STS after response or stabilisation during first line treatment with doxorubicin.

Uterine sarcomas are rare tumors with a poor prognosis. The main purpose of this phase II proof-of-principle- pilot study is to test the efficacy of the hydroxamic acid-based Histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACI) Vorinostat (SAHA) as monotherapy in patients with HDAC-positive, progressive, metastatic uterine sarcomas and mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumors after prior anti-proliferative therapy.
