Active clinical trials for "Sarcoma"

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is a Phase I study; dose escalating the combination of pazopanib when taken daily and ixabepilone when administered on day 1 of a 3 week treatment course.

RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of intensity-modulated radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients undergoing surgery for stage IB, stage II, or stage III soft tissue sarcoma.

RATIONALE: PTC299 may stop the growth of Kaposi sarcoma by blocking blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of PTC299 and to see how well it works in treating patients with HIV-related Kaposi sarcoma.

The study was primarily designed to determine objective response, progression-free survival (PFS), and the safety and tolerability of R1507 in participants with recurrent or refractory Ewing's sarcoma, osteosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma and other sarcomas including alveolar soft part sarcoma, desmoplastic small round cell tumor, extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma, clear cell sarcoma, and myxoid liposarcoma.

The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and efficacy of single agent CC-4047 (pomalidomide) in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcomas who have relapsed or are refractory to prior anticancer therapy.
