Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well Camrelizumab combined with Apatinib work in treating participants with chordoma that has spread to other places in the body, which may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
Thanks to the intrinsic qualities of the proton beam, proton therapy will reduce adverse effects of irradiation. The Proteus®One is the latest generation of proton therapy equipment, enabling the Centre Antoine Lacassagne to expand its range of treatments by carrying out new proton therapy treatments. It has an innovative compact isocentric rotating head (Gantry) that allows the radiation beam to be directed at different angles around the patient. In some cases, two beams are used to treat tumours, and by convention, both beams are delivered during the same session. However, it is necessary to position the patient before each beam, which is time-consuming because 2 beams have to be positioned very precisely each day. The aim of this study is therefore to assess the toxicity of proton therapy delivered by a single daily beam compared with proton therapy delivered by two daily beams, which is the conventional technique.
The study consists in the retrospective and prospective collection of imaging data (along with clinical information related to treatment) of skull-base chordoma patients treated with particle therapy, to derive imaging biomarkers which, integrated with advanced mathematical models, will allow predicting treatment outcome on a multi-scale basis.
The project is planned as a phase II clinical trial with a low level of intervention, for the prospective evaluation of the clinical results of radical or adjuvant treatment by proton therapy in chordomas and chondrosarcomas of the skull base using hypofractionation schemes in 5 fractions, with the aim of consolidating the scientific evidence that exists with high-precision techniques with photons, increasing this evidence by adapting this treatment scheme to the proton technique. In addition, a cross-sectional prospective evaluation of the quality parameters of the dosimetry of hypofractionated proton therapy and an evaluation of the quality of life of these patients will be carried out. - Primary Objective 1. - Toxicity according to CTCAE-v5 criteria 2. - Local control determined by Magnetic Resonance with Gadolinium. - Secondary Objectives 1. To evaluate the quality of life of the patients, 3 months after the end of the treatment, using a specific questionnaire. 2. To evaluate the dosimetric benefits using techniques that allow an improvement in the dose gradient, improving the coverage of the CTV (Clinical Tumor Volume) and decreasing the dose in surrounding risk organs.
Chordoma is a rare but locally invasive cancer that arises from the embryonic notochord. Total resection is challenging in mobile spine because of the complex anatomy and bone invasion.
This is a single arm, open label, single center, and prospective, interventional study to explore clinical efficacy of afatinib in patients with chordoma of skull base. Subject meeting the inclusion criteria will take afatinib (40 mg daily) orally, 4 weeks for a cycle. The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of afatinib in chordoma of skull base by objective response rate (ORR). The Secondary objectives is to assess progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), tumor response duration and tumor shrinkage degree in patients with chordoma of skull base after using afatinib; to evaluate the safety and tolerability of afatinib in patients with chordoma of skull base.
This research study involves a combination of three drugs given together as a possible treatment for malignant rhabdoid tumor, atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor, epithelioid sarcoma, chordoma or other tumors that are deficient in one of two possible proteins, either INI-1 (SMARCB1) or SMARCA4. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: - Tazemetostat (TAZVERIK) - Nivolumab (OPDIVO) - Ipilimumab (YERVOY)
This phase I/II trial studies how well tiragolumab and atezolizumab works when given to children and adults with SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 deficient tumors that that has either come back (relapsed) or does not respond to therapy (refractory). SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 deficiency means that tumor cells are missing the SMARCB1 and SMARCA4 genes, seen with some aggressive cancers that are typically hard to treat. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as tiragolumab and atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
This is a multicenter, single arm, phase 2 study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cetuximab for the treatment of advanced (unresectable)/metastatic, chordoma. The target patient population will be any chordoma patient 18 years of age with locally unresectable disease or metastatic disease.
This study compares carbon ion therapy, surgery, and proton therapy to determine if one has better disease control and fewer side effects. There are three types of radiation treatment used for pelvic bone sarcomas: surgery with or without photon/proton therapy, proton therapy alone, and carbon ion therapy alone. The purpose of this study is to compare quality of life among patients treated for pelvic bone sarcomas across the world, and to determine if carbon ion therapy improves quality of life compared to surgery and disease control compared with proton therapy.
