Active clinical trials for "Sarcoma"

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed metastatic Ewing's sarcoma or primitive neuroectodermal tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy consisting of ifosfamide and doxorubicin in patients with advanced sarcoma.

The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to give Targretin capsules to patients with AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma (KS).

The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to give SU5416 to HIV-infected patients with AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). SU5416 may prevent the growth of KS tumors.

To evaluate tolerance, toxicity, and preliminary evidence of antitumor efficacy of intralesionally administered tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and to define a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for single intralesional injections. In addition, to assess the effects of TNF injections on Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) lesions as measured by P-32 magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

To evaluate the safety of different doses and dosing regimens of tecogalan sodium (DS-4152) and to establish the MTD at each of the different dosing schedules.

To determine the objective tumor response and remission rate of AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcomas (KS) following a single dose of tin ethyl etiopurpurin (SnET2) followed by photodynamic therapy (PDT). To determine the systemic and local toxicity, and morbidity safety profile of SnET2-PDT.

To determine the effect of Viracept in combination with modified antiretroviral therapy on the outcome of cutaneous and mucosal Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS).

The purpose of this study is to see if ALRT1057 is safe and effective in treating patients with AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma (KS).

To determine the efficacy of Stealth liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX-SL) in the treatment of moderate to severe AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) by comparison with the established therapy BV (bleomycin/vincristine). To evaluate the safety and tolerance of DOX-SL compared to BV in a population of AIDS patients with moderate to severe KS.
