Filter by:Thousands of children are diagnosed with cancer each year, many of whom will achieve long term survival due to advances in treatments and technologies. However, when a child is first diagnosed, they are confronted with a wealth of new and unfamiliar medical information that they must integrate in order to understand their diagnosis and treatment plan. Little is yet known about how children with cancer experience learning about their diagnosis and treatment in the hospital setting, or the individuals and materials that may help to facilitate the child's developing understanding. This information could help to identify or guide educational and supportive child life interventions to help children with cancer better understand their illness and its treatment. This observational study will collect data about how children currently learn about their cancer diagnosis and treatment in the hospital setting. The interventions used do not seek to change the health outcomes of the participants in this study. The observational data collected may serve to improve how future patients learn about their cancer-related diagnosis.
This is a pilot study to determine the efficacy, kinetics and safety of aldoxorubicin in HIV positive subjects with Kaposi's sarcoma.
This is a Phase I, multi-center, multiple ascending dose study to evaluate the clinical safety and immune response of IDC-G305 when injected intramuscularly in patients with unresectable or metastatic cancer. IDC-G305 is an immunotherapy consisting of recombinant NY-ESO-1 antigen and the adjuvant, GLA-SE. The goal is for IDC-G305 to stimulate the body's immune system to fight the spread and growth of cancer for patients whose tumors include the NY-ESO-1 protein. Patients with melanoma, ovarian, renal cell or non-small cell lung cancer may be considered for the trial.
This is a study to assess the safety of the combination of mifepristone and eribulin in patients with metastatic or locally advanced unresectable breast or other specified solid tumors, and determine preliminary efficacy of the combination of mifepristone and eribulin in patients with metastatic or locally advanced unresectable Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC). The structure for the study is a single arm, non-randomized, open-label, multicenter trial with no control group. The study will be conducted at up to 11 sites, with up to 40 evaluable patients
Phase 1: To assess the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/ recommended dose of ganetespib when administered in combination with sirolimus in patients with refractory or relapsed sarcomas including unresectable or metastatic sporadic or neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) associated MPNST. Phase I enrollment has been closed. Phase 2: To determine the clinical benefit of ganetespib in combination with sirolimus for patients with unresectable or metastatic sporadic or NF1 associated MPNST.
This study is a phase IV post registration prospective observational feasibility study in patients with metastatic soft tissue sarcoma. Pazopanib is the registered treatment for patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma after chemotherapy with doxorubicin or ifosfamide. - This study looks at the possibility of using 18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography PET scans as an early biomarker of pazopanib treatment effect in patients. - It also studies pazopanib pharmacokinetics to see if there are differences between elderly and younger patients. The primary objectives are: - To evaluate whether early metabolic response is correlated to clinical benefit. - To evaluate the effect of age (≥ 70 years) on pazopanib pharmacokinetics. The secondary objectives are: - To evaluate whether early metabolic response (% decrease in FDG uptake due to pazopanib therapy) is correlated with pazopanib exposure. - To evaluate whether early metabolic response (% decrease in FDG uptake due to pazopanib therapy) is correlated with the histological subtypes.
In this study, we aim to define the recommended dose of a VEGFR-TKI (pazopanib) in combination with RT pre-operatively given.
The purpose of the phase 1b portion is to evaluate safety and tolerability and determine a recommended phase 2 dose for TRC105 when added to standard dose pazopanib in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma. Up to 30 patients will be treated. The purpose of the phase 2 portion is to estimate the PFS of patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma by RECIST 1.1 and estimate ORR in a separate cohort of patients with angiosarcoma by RECIST 1.1. Up to 89 patients will be treated in phase 2, including two cohorts of up to 13 patients with angiosarcoma.
The purpose of this study is to find the safe dose of nab-paclitaxel in children with solid tumors, and to see if it works to treat these solid tumors in children and young adults (in Phase 1 ≤ 18 years old and in Phase 2 ≤ 24 years old). After the final dose has been chosen, patients will be enrolled according to the specific solid tumor type, (neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, or Ewing's sarcoma), to see how nab-paclitaxel works in treating these tumors.
This study will use diffusion weighted MRI (DWI MRI) and dynamic-contrast enhanced MRI (DCE MRI) techniques to detect changes in sarcoma tumour vasculature. The main aims of this study are to correlate histological response of soft tissue sarcoma after pre-operative radiotherapy with several pre-treatment DCE and DWI MRI parameters and to assess the impact of these on early response prediction. Detected changes may reflect the sensitivity of the tumour to radiotherapy and may be associated with long term outcomes after treatment. 15 patients normally having pre-operative radiotherapy as part of their sarcoma treatment will be recruited to this study. Patients will have an additional three specialised MRI scans: one prior to the start of radiotherapy, one during the second week of radiotherapy while on treatment and one scan a week before surgery but after the completion of radiotherapy. Post-operatively, results of the histological examination of the sarcoma will be correlated to both the MRI scan data and outcomes after treatment
