Filter by:Primary Objectives: 1. To determine the feasibility and toxicity profile of administering liposomal 9-Nitro-20-(S)-Camptothecin (L9-NC) by aerosol alone and in combination with temozolomide. 2. To determine the effectiveness of L9-NC given by aerosol in combination with temozolomide in patients with solid tumors involving the lungs.
The primary purpose of the study is to estimate the time from the first dose of LY573636-sodium (hereafter referred to as LY573636) to the date your physician determines that your disease has progressed or worsened.
The main objective of the trial is to document the preliminary antitumor activity of two doses of NGR-hTNF administered either alone or in combination with doxorubicin in locally advanced or metastatic soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) patients untreated or previously treated with one or more prior systemic regimen.
RATIONALE: Sunitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well sunitinib works in treating patients with metastatic, locally advanced, or locally recurrent sarcomas.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well cytarabine works in treating young patients with recurrent or refractory Ewing's sarcoma.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Zoledronic acid may stop the growth of tumor cells in bone. Giving chemotherapy with or without zoledronic acid before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving these treatments after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether giving combination chemotherapy together with zoledronic acid is more effective than combination chemotherapy alone in treating osteosarcoma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying combination chemotherapy and zoledronic acid to see how well they work compared with combination chemotherapy alone in treating patients with osteosarcoma.
This study will examine the response rate and the 6-month progression-free survival rates of subjects with advanced sarcoma treated with dasatinib.
RATIONALE: Celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving celecoxib together with radiation therapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of celecoxib when given together with radiation therapy in treating patients with stage II or stage III soft tissue sarcoma of the arm, hand, leg, or foot that has been removed by surgery.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as sirolimus, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Sirolimus also may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This pilot study is studying sirolimus in treating patients with HIV-related Kaposi's sarcoma.
RATIONALE: Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody 3F8, can find tumor cells and carry tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. This may be an effective treatment for central nervous system cancer or leptomeningeal metastases. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well iodine I 131 monoclonal antibody 3F8 works in treating patients with central nervous system cancer or leptomeningeal cancer.
