Filter by:The aims of this trial are to evaluate the efficacy of bendamustin in patients with metastatic soft tissue sarcoma who have progressed after or during an anthracycline-baesd chemotherapy and to assess the treatment of toxicity.
The goal of this trial is to determine whether oral continuous (metronomic) therapy with trofosfamide results in a similar rate of progression-free time after 6 months as intravenous treatment with adriamycin. In addition, the study is intended to investigate the level of toxicity associated with the two treatment regimens (safety profile).
To evaluate the safety of NY-ESO-1 Plasmid DNA (pPJV7611) Cancer Vaccine given by particle-mediated epidermal delivery (PMED) in patients with tumor types known to express NY-ESO-1 or LAGE-1.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with temozolomide can effect the survival of patients with advanced breast cancer or soft tissue sarcoma.
The purpose of this study is to explore how a sarcoma is affected by and the side effects of a newer combination of chemotherapy drugs(gemcitabine and docetaxel)as compared to a standard combination of chemotherapy drugs, ifosfamide and doxorubicin.
The primary outcome of this study is the detection of lung metastases comparing Low dose CT (LDCT) and Minimum dose CT (MnDCT) with CXR. Hypothesis 1. LDCT and MnDCT have similar sensitivity for the detection of lung nodules (metastases). 2. MnDCT of the thorax detects a larger number of nodules (metastases) than CXR.
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy may make wound healing problems less likely by 1)precisely shaping the region of high radiation dose to the shape of the tissue which harbours tumour cells, and 2) precisely shaping the regions of low radiation dose to the shapes of the normal tissues which are more sensitive to radiation effects.
Patients with recurrent or refractory solid tumors or brain tumors that are unresponsive to conventional therapy, or with no known effective therapy, will be treated. Experiments in the laboratory have shown the experimental drug RAD001C (RAD001, Everolimus) can prevent cells from multiplying. RAD001 is now being tested in diseases such as cancer, in which excessive cell multiplication needs to be stopped. The drug has been tested in adult cancer patients and has been well tolerated by subjects in these studies. It is experimental and, therefore, available in clinical trials.
Researchers at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital are looking for more effective ways to deliver radiation therapy to pediatric tumors of the bone and soft tissues. The goal of the study is to improve local control of musculoskeletal tumors with image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) while minimizing radiation related side effects. IGRT uses computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) images to precisely define tumor location and to carefully plan radiation treatment. This approach allows doctors to deliver highly conformal radiation therapy to the tumor while protecting nearby healthy normal tissues.
This study looks at isolated pelvic perfusion and limbs' girdle with 1 mg tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) in the treatment of locally advanced sarcoma of the pelvis and limbs’ girdle.
