Active clinical trials for "Sarcoma"

This randomized phase II trial studies how well nivolumab with or without ipilimumab works in treating patients with sarcoma that has spread from the primary site to other parts of the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether nivolumab works better with or without ipilimumab in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable sarcoma.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of aldoxorubicin in subjects with metastatic, locally advanced, or unresectable soft tissue sarcomas.

This phase II trial studies how well sorafenib tosylate, combination chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery work in treating patients with high-risk stage IIB-IV soft tissue sarcoma. Sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as epirubicin hydrochloride and ifosfamide, 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. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Giving sorafenib tosylate, combination chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery may be an effective treatment for soft tissue sarcoma.

Chemotherapy treatment with docetaxel and gemcitabine is a standard treatment for patients with soft tissue sarcoma. This study is designed to explore whether the addition of tyrosine kinase inhibitor pazopanib enhances the anticancer effect of the chemotherapy drugs. The Phase I component of this study is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose of pazopanib when given with docetaxel and gemcitabine. The Phase II component is designed to determine the overall response rate of the combination of docetaxel, gemcitabine and pazopanib prior to surgical resection in patients with soft tissue sarcoma.

This trial intends to test the efficacy and safety of RAD001 in patients with advanced sarcoma who failed to conventional chemotherapy.

This is an international (France, Austria and Germany), randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of regorafenib in patients with histologically proven metastatic and/or unresectable Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS) after failure or intolerance to doxorubicin (or other anthracycline). Five cohorts will be defined: Cohort A: Liposarcoma Cohort B: Leiomyosarcoma Cohort C: Synovial sarcoma Cohort D: other sarcomas (see Appendix C) Cohort E: Leiomyosarcoma, Synovial sarcoma and other sarcomas listed in Appendix C previously treated with pazopanib Approximately 226 patients who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to one of the treatment groups.

As the transparency committee of the Haute Autorité de Santé pointed out due to lack of data regarding comparative trial of Yondelis versus best supportive care, activity of Yondelis in soft tissue sarcoma remain to be assessed. For an antineoplastic drug toxicity is moderate. As previous studies shown, overall survival data for patients with advanced or metastatic STS are of poor prognosis despite improvement of results this last years. For example, median overall survival increased from 12,3 months (1987-1991) to 11,4 months (1992-1996) and then 18 months (2002-2006). Considering the latest results with and without Trabectedin, the investigators may consider that comparing Trabectedin with best supportive care is ethically acceptable as long as patients consent to enter the trial.

This is a Phase I, open-label, dose escalation and dose expansion study with BID (suspension) and TID (tablet) oral dose of tazemetostat. Subjects will be screened for eligibility within 14 days of the planned first dose of tazemetostat. A treatment cycle will be 28 days. Response assessment will be evaluated after 8 weeks of treatment and subsequently every 8 weeks while on study. The study has two parts: Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion. Dose escalation for subjects with the following relapsed/refractory malignancies: Rhabdoid tumors: Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) Malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) Rhabdoid tumor of kidney (RTK) Selected tumors with rhabdoid features INI1-negative tumors: Epithelioid sarcoma Epithelioid malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma Myoepithelial carcinoma Renal medullary carcinoma Other INI1-negative malignant tumors (e.g., dedifferentiated chordoma) (with Sponsor approval) Synovial Sarcoma with a SS18-SSX rearrangement Dose Escalation cohorts are closed to enrollment. Dose Expansion at the MTD or the RP2D Cohort 1 - ATRT (closed to enrollment) Cohort 2 - MRT/RTK/selected tumors with rhabdoid features (closed to enrollment) Cohort 3 - INI-negative tumors: Epithelioid sarcoma Epithelioid malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma Myoepithelial carcinoma Renal medullary carcinoma Chordoma (poorly differentiated or de-differentiated) Other INI1-negative malignant tumors (e.g., dedifferentiated chordoma) with Sponsor approval Cohort 4 - Tumor types eligible for Cohorts 1 through 3 or synovial sarcoma with SS18-SSX rearrangement (closed to enrollment)

This phase II trial studies how well therapeutic angiotensin-(1-7) works as second-line therapy or third-line therapy in treating patients with metastatic sarcoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Therapeutic angiotensin-(1-7) may stop the growth of sarcoma by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Funding Source - FDA Office of Orphan Drug Products (OOPD)

This randomized phase II trial studies how well gemcitabine hydrochloride works with or without pazopanib hydrochloride in treating patients with refractory soft tissue sarcoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Pazopanib hydrochloride may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether gemcitabine hydrochloride is more effective with or without pazopanib hydrochloride in treating patients with soft tissue sarcoma.
