Selpercatinib for the Treatment of Advanced Solid Tumors, Lymphomas, or Histiocytic Disorders With...
Hematopoietic and Lymphoid System NeoplasmRecurrent Ependymoma36 moreThis phase II pediatric MATCH treatment trial studies how well selpercatinib works in treating patients with solid tumors that may have spread from where they first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced), lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have activating RET gene alterations. Selpercatinib may block the growth of cancer cells that have specific genetic changes in an important signaling pathway (called the RET pathway) and may reduce tumor size.
Study of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab in Children and Young Adults With INI1-Negative Cancers
Malignant Rhabdoid TumorRhabdoid Tumor of the Kidney5 moreThis clinical trial is studying two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and ipilimumab) given together as a possible treatment for INI1-negative tumors.
Atezolizumab Plus Tivozanib in Immunologically Cold Tumor Types
Bile Duct CancerGall Bladder Cancer7 moreCheckpoint inhibitor therapy represents a significant advance in cancer care. The interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 induces immune tolerance, and the inhibition of this interaction is an effective treatment strategy for numerous malignancies. Despite its demonstrated potential, immunotherapy is not currently thought to be an effective intervention in the treatment of several immunologically "cold" tumors such as prostate cancer, biliary tract cancers, soft tissue sarcomas, well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors, microsatellite stable colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and non-triple negative breast cancer. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is thought to play a key role in modulating the anti-tumor immune response. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is secreted by tumors and leads to endothelial cell proliferation, vascular permeability, and vasodilation. This in turn leads to the development of an abnormal vasculature with excessive permeability and poor blood flow, limiting immune surveillance. In addition, VEGF inhibits dendritic cell differentiation, limiting the presentation of tumor antigens to CD4 and CD8 T cells. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) VEGF-TKIs are currently utilized in the treatment of a variety of malignancies and are widely utilized in combination with checkpoint blockade in the treatment of clear cell kidney cancer. Through the inhibition of VEGF, it may be possible to potentiate the effect of immune checkpoint blockade even in tumors which have traditionally been thought to be unresponsive to immunotherapy. This study aims to evaluate the combination of the immune checkpoint inhibitor atezolizumab and the VEGF-TKI tivozanib in a variety of tumors which have a low response rate to checkpoint inhibitor therapy alone.
Sequential Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Soft Tissue SarcomaNearly half of patients with high-grade, localized soft tissue sarcoma (STS) of extremities and trunk wall develop disease recurrence after local therapy. Adjuvant chemotherapy with ifosfamide and doxorubicin may improve long-term disease-free survival, but the benefit of adjuvant treatment is limited and predictive factors for treatment response are lacking. The aim of this study is to explore sequential treatment with ifosfamide and doxorubicin in a neoadjuvant setting and to investigate biomarkers predictive of treatment response.
A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of ION363 in Amyotrophic...
Amyotrophic Lateral SclerosisThe primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of ION363 on clinical function and survival in carriers of fused in sarcoma mutations with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FUS-ALS).
Retifanlimab (Anti-PD-1 Antibody) With Gemcitabine and Docetaxel in Patients With Advanced Soft...
Soft Tissue SarcomaSarcoma,Soft Tissue2 moreThis study is being done to find out whether the study drug Retifanlimab, a monoclonal antibody against the PD-1 protein, combined with gemcitabine and docetaxel, is a safe and effective treatment for your disease. Gemcitabine and docetaxel are chemotherapy drugs that are commonly used to treat soft tissue sarcoma. Retifanlimab is an experimental drug that boosts the immune system's ability to fight cancer cells. The study researchers think that Retifanlimab may help gemcitabine and docetaxel work better against soft tissue sarcoma that is either locally advanced or has spread beyond its original location (metastasized), and it cannot be removed with surgery (unresectable).
GALLANT: Metronomic Gemcitabine, Doxorubicin, Docetaxel and Nivolumab for Advanced Sarcoma
SarcomaThis is an open label phase 2 study for advanced sarcoma using metronomic doses of gemcitabine, doxorubicin and docetaxel, and nivolumab immunotherapy given intravenously.
Study of Camrelizumab in Combination With Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in the Treatment of High-risk...
Soft Tissue SarcomaThis study is a open-lable , single arm,single center, phase II clinical study. Target population is patients with high-risk Soft tissue sarcoma. Study objective is to compare the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab in combination with Liposome doxorubicin and Ifosfamide in study population in China. Camrelizumab is a humanized anti-PD1 IgG4 monoclonal antibody.
Heated Intra-peritoneal Chemotherapy With Doxorubicin and Cisplatin for the Treatment of Resectable,...
Malignant Abdominal NeoplasmMalignant Pelvic Neoplasm25 moreThis early phase I trial studies how well heated intra-peritoneal chemotherapy with doxorubicin and cisplatin work for the treatment of abdominal or pelvic tumors that can be removed by surgery (resectable), does not respond to treatment (refractory), or has come back (recurrent). Heated intra-peritoneal chemotherapy is a procedure performed in combination with abdominal surgery for cancer that has spread to the abdomen. It involves the infusion of a heated chemotherapy solution that circulates into the abdominal cavity. Chemotherapy drugs, such as doxorubicin and cisplatin, 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. Heating a chemotherapy solution and infusing it directly into the abdomen may kill more cells.
