Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess how the body handles olaratumab when it is given with another drug called doxorubicin. The safety and tolerability of these drugs will be studied. Each participant will complete two 21-day cycles in a fixed order. Participants who complete Cycle 2 may continue to receive olaratumab + doxorubicin for an additional six 21-day cycles and then may receive olaratumab alone until discontinuation criteria are met. Screening is required within 21 days prior to first dose. Part B was added in October, 2015 to assess how the body handles a higher dose of olaratumab when given with doxorubicin. Participants may only enroll in one part.
This pilot, phase I trial studies the safety of cancer-testis antigen (NY-ESO-1)-specific T cells (a type of immune cell) in treating patients with NY-ESO-1-expressing sarcomas that have spread to other places in the body and are receiving palliative (relief of symptoms and suffering caused by cancer) radiation therapy. Placing a modified gene for NY-ESO-1 into white blood cells may help the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells that express NY-ESO-1. Palliative radiation therapy may help patients with advanced sarcoma live more comfortably. Giving NY-ESO-1-specific T cells following palliative radiation therapy may be a better treatment for patients with sarcomas.
This is a single arm, single-stage, phase II trial to evaluate the activity of Regorafenib in patients with metastatic solid tumors (pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, melanoma, sarcoma, thymoma (type B2 - B3) and thymic carcinoma, who have progressed after standard therapy.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of nivolumab when given with or without ipilimumab to see how well they work in treating younger patients with solid tumors or sarcomas that have come back (recurrent) or do not respond to treatment (refractory). 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 alone or with ipilimumab in treating patients with recurrent or refractory solid tumors or sarcomas.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of pembrolizumab in patients with advanced sarcomas.
Pazopanib is FDA approved as a second line and beyond treatment for metastatic soft tissue sarcoma. There is a population of elderly and debilitated soft tissue sarcoma patients that are not fit for standard first line chemotherapy that is doxorubicin based. As pazopanib is well tolerated with minimal side effects, the investigators propose a phase II study to evaluate pazopanib as a first-line agent in patients with non-resectable or metastatic disease who are not candidates for cytotoxic chemotherapy.
The investigators have recently developed an innovative optical molecular imaging platform (called PRODIGI) based on high-resolution fluorescence and white-light technologies in a hand-held, real-time, high-resolution, non-invasive format. PRODIGI offers a non-contact means of obtaining instantaneous image-based measurements of diagnostically-relevant biological and molecular information of a wound and surrounding skin tissues for the first time and could have significant impact on improving conventional wound care, management, and guidance of intervention. In preliminary preclinical testing, the investigators have discovered that when wounds are illuminated by violet/blue light, endogenous collagen in the connective tissue matrix emit a characteristic green fluorescent signal, while most pathogenic bacterial species emit a unique red fluorescence signal due to the production of endogenous porphyrins. Therefore, with autofluorescence imaging, no exogenous contrast agents are needed during imaging, making this approach particularly appealing as a diagnostic imaging method for clinical use. In the context of this study, PRODIGI is used to assess wound complications in patients diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma and treated with pre-operative radiotherapy. Both pre- and postoperative external beam radiotherapy combined with limb salvage surgery have similarly high rates of local control in the management of extremity soft tissue sarcoma. The main acute side effect associated with preoperative radiotherapy is wound healing complications. Wound care overall is a major clinical challenge and presents an enormous burden to health care worldwide. The objective of this clinical study is to determine if PRODIGI coupled with an optical tracking platform has clinical utility in identifying, quantitatively measuring and longitudinally tracking bacterial imbalance on the patient's intact skin surface at the location of the surgical resection site for adult patients with lower limb soft tissue sarcoma treated with preoperative intensity-modulated radiation therapy and limb salvage surgery and, further, to investigate whether this bacterial imbalance is related to radiotherapy dose and wound complications.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of GPX-150 administered intravenously every 3 weeks in the treatment of patients with soft tissue sarcoma.
This is a Phase 1 open-label study to study the safety and activity of aldoxorubicin with ifosfamide/mesna in subjects with metastatic, advanced, unresectable soft tissue sarcoma.
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter, randomized, 2-stage crossover study consisting of 2 phases: Stage I - Pharmacokinetics (Bioequivalence), with an Extension Stage II - Pharmacokinetics (Food Effect) with an Extension This study will enroll approximately 60 subjects in stage I and 60 subjects in stage II with hematologic or solid tumor malignancies, excluding gastrointestinal tumors and tumors that have originated or metastasized to the liver for which no standard treatment exists or have progressed or recurred following prior therapy. Subjects must not be eligible for therapy of higher curative potential where an alternative treatment has been shown to prolong survival in an analogous population. Approximately 23 sites in the US and 2 in Canada will participate in this study.
