Filter by:This study compares carbon ion therapy, surgery, and proton therapy to determine if one has better disease control and fewer side effects. There are three types of radiation treatment used for pelvic bone sarcomas: surgery with or without photon/proton therapy, proton therapy alone, and carbon ion therapy alone. The purpose of this study is to compare quality of life among patients treated for pelvic bone sarcomas across the world, and to determine if carbon ion therapy improves quality of life compared to surgery and disease control compared with proton therapy.
This phase II trial investigates the effects of sintilimab in treating patients with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), spread to other places in the body (metastatic), come back (recurrent), or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as sintilimab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
Phase 2, multicenter, single-arm, open-label basket study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of milademetan in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors refractory or intolerant to standard-of-care therapy that exhibit wild-type (WT) TP53 and MDM2 copy number (CN) ≥ 8 using prespecified biomarker criteria.
Sarcomas are rare tumours that represent less than 1% of cancers. Their actual incidence in France, however, is not known. The chances of survival at 5 years, without signs of the disease, are currently estimated at about 60%. The possibility of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is frequently unrecognised, leading to an inappropriate initial diagnostic process and often to inadequate surgery. Compliance with good practice guides, which we can recall were targeted at oncologists, is good when the patient's record is discussed within the framework of a multidisciplinary consultation. The consequences of inadequate initial management, however, can be critical: unplanned surgery results in the need for systematic repeat procedure, with residual tumour found in more than half of cases, and the absence of multidisciplinary care has a deleterious impact on local disease control and specific survival. The objective of the study is to measure the impact of a public health intervention programme focused on the initial management of STS among all professionals who may come to suspect or diagnose soft tissue sarcoma. For this project, the 4 regions involved in the Cancéropôle du Grand Sud-Ouest, France (Aquitaine, Languedoc-Roussillon, Limousin and Midi-Pyrénées) propose to implement actions targeted at general practitioners, treating physicians and non-specialist surgeons in the field of STS, aimed at improving initial care. An improvement in initial management (diagnosis and assessment) which should allow an improvement in the loco-regional control of these diseases and in the specific survival of the patients. The actions recognised as effective in this study could then be adapted and extended to the rest of France via the French sarcomas group and the bone tumours study group (GSF-GETO).
Checkpoint inhibitor therapy represents a significant advance in cancer care. The interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 induces immune tolerance, and the inhibition of this interaction is an effective treatment strategy for numerous malignancies. Despite its demonstrated potential, immunotherapy is not currently thought to be an effective intervention in the treatment of several immunologically "cold" tumors such as prostate cancer, biliary tract cancers, soft tissue sarcomas, well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors, microsatellite stable colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and non-triple negative breast cancer. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is thought to play a key role in modulating the anti-tumor immune response. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is secreted by tumors and leads to endothelial cell proliferation, vascular permeability, and vasodilation. This in turn leads to the development of an abnormal vasculature with excessive permeability and poor blood flow, limiting immune surveillance. In addition, VEGF inhibits dendritic cell differentiation, limiting the presentation of tumor antigens to CD4 and CD8 T cells. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) VEGF-TKIs are currently utilized in the treatment of a variety of malignancies and are widely utilized in combination with checkpoint blockade in the treatment of clear cell kidney cancer. Through the inhibition of VEGF, it may be possible to potentiate the effect of immune checkpoint blockade even in tumors which have traditionally been thought to be unresponsive to immunotherapy. This study aims to evaluate the combination of the immune checkpoint inhibitor atezolizumab and the VEGF-TKI tivozanib in a variety of tumors which have a low response rate to checkpoint inhibitor therapy alone.
The purpose of this study is to learn whether it is safe to give HER2-CAR T cells in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor drug (pembrolizumab or nivolumab), to learn what the side effects are, and to see whether this therapy might help patients with sarcoma. Another goal of this study is to study the bacteria found in the stool of patients with sarcoma who are being treated with HER2 CAR T cells and immune checkpoint inhibitor drugs to see if the types of bacteria influence how well the treatment works. The investigators have found from previous research that they can put a new gene into T cells that will make them recognize cancer cells and kill them. They now want to see if they can put a new gene in these cells that will let the T cells recognize and kill sarcoma cells. The new gene that the investigators will put in makes an antibody specific for HER2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2) that binds to sarcoma cells. In addition, it contains CD28, which stimulated T cells and make them last longer. After this new gene is put into the T cell, the T cell becomes known as a chimeric antigen receptor T cell or CAR T cell. In another clinical study using these CAR T cells targeting HER2 as well as other studies using CAR T cells, investigators found that giving chemotherapy before the T cell infusion can improve the effect the T cells can have. Giving chemotherapy before a T cell infusion is called lymphodepletion since the chemotherapy is specifically chosen to decrease the number of lymphocytes in the body. Decreasing the number of the patient's lymphocytes first should allow the infused T cells to expand in the body, and potentially kill cancer cells more effectively. The chemotherapy used for lymphodepletion is a combination of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine. After the patient receives the lymphodepletion chemotherapy and CAR T cells during treatment on the study, they will receive an antibody drug called an immune checkpoint inhibitor, pembrolizumab or nivolumab. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are drugs that remove the brakes on the immune system to allow it to act against cancer.
Single institution case series review with a histological diagnosis of mixofibrosarcoma of the extremities from 01 Jan 1993 to 01 Dec 2017. The study will exam all the clinical, radiological, histological and immunohistochemical features of this tumour in all samples and in a limited serie of cases the presence of mutation of 50 genes cancer related.
This is a multi-cohort proof of concept study involving patients with sarcomas or melanomas. Patient models, both two- and three-dimensional, will be derived from tumour samples. These will then be used to evaluate drug sensitivities ex vivo. Enrolled patients will undergo resections or biopsies as part of standard-of-care, which will be used to generate patient models. Patients will receive standard-of-care systemic treatment. Patient models will also be subjected up to a 14-drug screening panel. The majority of drugs in the respective drug panels has been shown to have activity in the respective cancers and would be used in the standard-of-care setting by treating physicians.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and therapeutic activity of GI-101/GI-101A as a single agent or in combination with pembrolizumab, lenvatinib or local radiotherapy (RT) over a range of advanced and/or metastatic solid tumors.
This open-label, First-into-Human (FIH) study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and early efficacy of AVA6000, a FAP-activated pro-drug of doxorubicin, in patients with locally advanced and/or metastatic solid tumours. In Phase Ia, using a 3+3 design, escalating doses of AVA6000 will be administered to patients with a range of solid tumour types to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase II dose (RP2D). In Phase 1b, the selected RP2D dose will be assessed in one to three tumour types.
