Active clinical trials for "Sarcoma"

Classic Kaposi's sarcoma (CKS) is an angioproliferation associated with human herpes virus 8 (HHV8), which sometimes requires systemic treatment. Rapamycin and everolimus are mTOR inhibitors. The PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway is activated in CKS.The aim of this study is to evaluate the rate of clinical response and tolerance to everolimus 10mg/d in CKS. Patients suffering from CKS will be enrolled in a multicenter two-stage phase II trial. At inclusion, all patients will have at least 10 lesions or more than one limb or 3% of body surface affected, in the absence of symptomatic visceral CKS. The primary endpoint is objective response to everolimus after 6 months therapy (complete or partial response per ACTG criteria). The trial is planned using Simon's minimax two-stage design to demonstrate a response rate of 50% as compared to 20% with type I error rate 2.5% and power of 90%. Accordingly, 11 patients will to be enrolled in the first stage and provided at least 3 patients responded, 15 patients will be accrued in a second stage.

Thalidomide may stop the growth of soft tissue sarcoma by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin, ifosfamide, and dacarbazine, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving thalidomide together with radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed. This phase II trial is studying how well giving preoperative (before surgery) thalidomide together with radiation therapy works in treating patients with low-grade primary soft tissue sarcoma, and how well giving thalidomide together with radiation therapy, doxorubicin, ifosfamide, and dacarbazine works in treating patients with high-grade or intermediate-grade primary soft tissue sarcoma of the arm, leg, chest wall, or abdominal wall.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a multimodal prehabilitation intervention intended to optimize postoperative recovery in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) diagnosed with soft tissue and bone-based sarcomas of the upper and lower extremities (extremity sarcomas; ES).

The Phase 1 part of the study is conducted to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of eribulin mesilate in combination with irinotecan hydrochloride in pediatric participants with relapsed/refractory solid tumors (excluding central nervous system [CNS] tumors). The Phase 2 part of the study is conducted to assess the objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) of eribulin mesilate in combination with irinotecan hydrochloride in pediatric participants with relapsed/refractory rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma (NRSTS) and ewing sarcoma (EWS).

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability profile of TB-403 (humanized monoclonal antibody against placental growth factor (PlGF)) in pediatric subjects with relapsed or refractory Medulloblastoma.

The purpose of this study is to examine the toxicity of using allogeneic stem cell transplantation for treatment of subjects with relapsed or refractory ES and rhabdomyosarcoma. This is a nanrandomized two-arm study is designed to determine the safety and incidence of graft versus host disease (GVHD) in patients with relapsed, refractory Ewings sarcoma receiving related and unrelated, allogeneic stem cell transplants.

The objective of the trial is to assess the efficacy of Durvalumab and Tremelimumab in comparison to doxorubicin in treatment-naïve Soft tissue sarcoma patients

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) has an unpredictable course, patients with disseminated KS starting combined Antiretroviral Therapy can develop Immune Reconstitution Syndrome (IRIS), with a severe clinical presentation and high mortality (severe-IRIS-KS). The objective of this study is to evaluate the presence of Severe IRIS-KS and it´s attributable mortality in patients with AIDS and disseminated KS with the use of valganciclovir prior to the initiation of cART compared with the standard management of immediate cART initiation.

A phase Ib trial study of trabectedin when prescribed in combination with durvalumab in locally advanced/unresectable soft-tissue sarcoma and ovarian carcinomas.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of doxorubicin hydrochloride when given together with pembrolizumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with sarcoma that have spread to other parts of the body or that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving doxorubicin hydrochloride together with pembrolizumab may work better in treating patients with sarcoma.
