Filter by:Advanced synovial sarcoma represents an unmet medical need. The gene encoding frizzled homologue 10 (FZD10), a 7-transmenbrane receptor, member of the Wnt signalling receptor family, is overexpressed in SS and is undetectable in normal human tissues except placenta. OncoTherapy Science Inc. has developed a chimeric humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) against FZD10, named OTSA101. Non-radiolabeled OTSA101 antibody has only weak antagonistic activity on SS cell growth. However, Yttrium 90-radiolabeled OTSA101 (OTSA101-DTPA-90Y) showed significant antitumor activity following a single intravenous injection in mouse xenograft model. This first in man clinical trial (Phase I) in relapsing SS patients resistant to Doxorubicin and ifosfamide will be divided in 2 parts. In Part 1 (imaging part using OTSA101 radiolabelled with Indium 111 [111In]), the biodistribution and tumor uptake of OTSA101-DTPA-111In will be followed using 111In as radiotracer. In Part 2 (therapeutic part with OTSA101 radiolabelled with Yttrium 90 [90Y]), the safety and PK profiles of OTSA101-DTPA-90Y will be determined and preliminary efficacy data will be collected. This first in Man study should allow defining the optimal recommended dose of OTSA101-DTPA-90Y. Patients will be followed during 1 year.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is studying biomarkers in patients with rhabdomyosarcoma.
This phase II trial studies how well pazopanib hydrochloride works in treating patients with advanced angiosarcoma. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eribulin mesylate in subjects with soft tissue sarcoma who received at least one standard chemotherapy (an anthracycline or an ifosfamide monotherapy or a combination therapy).
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies pazopanib hydrochloride followed by chemotherapy and surgery in treating patients with soft tissue sarcoma. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes that are needed for cell growth and may also stop the growth of soft tissue sarcoma by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving pazopanib hydrochloride and chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of tissue that needs to be removed.
This study will examine the safety and efficacy of ipilimumab-an experimental cancer treatment drug used to boost immune response-in children, adolescents, and young adults. Ipilimumab may allow immune cells to react to and destroy abnormal cells in the body, and has been tested in adults for a variety of cancers and has shown responses in some research studies. Because ipilimumab has not been tested in children, adolescents, or young adults, it is considered an experimental drug. The purposes of this research study are to determine the highest safe dose of ipilimumab for children, adolescents, and young adults with solid tumor cancers; examine its effectiveness and possible side effects; and better understand how the body and the immune system process it over time. Candidates must be between 2 and 21 years of age and must have solid malignant tumors that have been resistant to standard therapy. Volunteers will be screened with a medical history, a clinical examination, and computerized scans such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Participants must have completed their last dose of chemotherapy, radiation, chemotherapy, or antibody or investigational therapy at least four weeks prior to enrollment. During the study, participants will receive an intravenous dose of ipilimumab once every three weeks. The infusion of ipilimumab will last 90 minutes, and the participant s vital signs will be monitored while the medicine is infusing and several times in the first 24 hours after the first dose (requiring a hospital stay during that time). If the participant is able to tolerate the first dose of ipilimumab, further doses (called cycles ) may be received on an outpatient basis. Blood and urine tests will be given on a regular basis during these cycles. After four cycles, participants whose tumors do not grow and who do not have unacceptable side effects will continue to receive ipilimumab every three months to maintain the current condition, until researchers conclude the study.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether TH-302 in combination with Doxorubicin is safe and effective in the treatment of Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic Soft Tissue Sarcoma.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and toxicity of the combination of pazopanib and GSK1120212 in patients with solid tumors and identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of this combination for phase II study.
The goal of this clinical research study is to measure the amount of inflammatory proteins inside the body before and after lymphatico-venular bypass surgery. This will help doctors learn if anti-fibrotic or anti-inflammatory drugs/treatments given with the surgery can improve how well the surgery works.
