Active clinical trials for "Sarcoma"

Prospective phase II study. Patients will be submitted to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (cT) and hypo fractionated radiotherapy (hRT) following by surgery. The remain viable cells will be analyzed and the patients whithin less than 30% will receive more 3 cycles of cT. All patients have deep high grade soft tissue sarcoma of extremity.

Real-time detection of cancer cells during surgical removal of a tumor is important. Currently when tissue is removed at the time of surgery, the removed tissue goes to pathology when the margins (edges of the tissue) are examined to see if cancer cells are present. This may take a few to several days. Patients tissue with positive (cancer cells present) margins may require additional therapies including surgery. The purpose of this study is to determine a safe dose of a new imaging agent (LUM015), like a fluorescent contrast agent or dye, that will show in the tumor area during surgery and may help facilitate visualization of tumor for its removal.

The goal of this interventional study is to compare sensitivity of regular chest x-ray to ultra-low-dose computed tomography to find pulmonary relapse in follow-up of soft tissue sarcoma. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Is ultra-low-dose computed tomography more sensitive than regular chest x-ray to find pulmonary relapse? Does ultra-low-dose computed tomography detect the most fast-growing pulmonary metastases earlier than regular chest x-ray? Participants will have seven ultra-low-dose computed tomography imagings in addition to simultaneous routine protocol of chest x-rays. Participants therefore work as their own controls.

This study evaluates the combination of CBT-1® and doxorubicin for the treatment of metastatic, unresectable sarcoma in patients who have progressed after treatment with 150mg/m2 or less of doxorubicin. Participants will receive CBT-1® on days 1-7 of each 21-day cycle, as well as doxorubicin on days 5 and 6.

Purpose: To assess the utility of PET/MR in assessing response to neoadjuvant radiation therapy in the treatment of high grade sarcomas. Participants: Adult patients with potentially curable high grade sarcomas that are being treated at UNC with neoadjuvant radiation therapy followed by potentially curative surgical resection. Procedures (methods): Patients who are being treated for potentially curable high grade sarcomas with neoadjuvant radiation therapy followed by surgical resection undergo pre-treatment, mid-treatment, and post-treatment PET/MR and the response to treatment is assessed by evaluating change in size and FDG avidity. Patients then undergo curative intent resection and are followed. Their pathology is reviewed for treatment affect as is assessed by percent necrosis, size, and resection margins. Patients are followed and assessed for recurrence.

The purpose of this study is to determine the Everolimus aim response in children and adolescents with refractory or relapsed Rhabdomyosarcoma and other soft tissue sarcomas

SSG XX is a phase II trial for high-risk soft tissue sarcomas (STS) of the extremities and trunk wall. Prognostic factors (histopathological markers) are used to identify high-risk tumors. SSG XX will evaluate chemo- and radiotherapy given adjuvantly to these patients. In a specified group of patients also preoperatively given therapy will be studied.

The primary outcome of this study is the detection of lung metastases comparing Low dose CT (LDCT) and Minimum dose CT (MnDCT) with CXR. Hypothesis LDCT and MnDCT have similar sensitivity for the detection of lung nodules (metastases). MnDCT of the thorax detects a larger number of nodules (metastases) than CXR.

The purpose of this study (NAV3-12) is to determine the dissemination and localization of Tc 99m tilmanocept by SPECT and SPECT/CT imaging in subjects with confirmed cutaneous KS. This is a single center, open-label, within-subject study.

This study looks at isolated pelvic perfusion and limbs' girdle with 1 mg tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) in the treatment of locally advanced sarcoma of the pelvis and limbs' girdle.
