Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy and safety of LBH589 - Panobinostat®, a potent HDACi, in patients with advanced STS who experiment disease progression after or during first-line chemotherapy. The rational is based on the observation of activity of deacetylase inhibitor (DACi) in several pre-clinical models of STS including Synovial sarcoma and Ewing sarcoma.
We hope to determine the importance of different genes (including B receptors) in anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy. This has important benefits to patients exposed to anthracyclines, as this could help determine whether certain individuals have increased susceptibility to cardiac injury.
Background: - Vorinostat and bortezomib are anti-tumor drugs that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat different kinds of myeloma and lymphoma in adults. The combination of these two drugs has been tried in a small number of adults, but it has not been formally approved and is experimental, particularly in children. Researchers are interested in determining safe and effective treatment doses of vorinostat and bortezomib in children, and learning more about how these drugs affect tumor growth and human development. Objectives: - To determine safe and effective doses of vorinostat and bortezomib to treat solid tumors in children. - To study the effects of vorinostat and bortezomib on blood cells, blood flow, and human development. Eligibility: - Children, adolescents, and young adults between 1 and 21 years of age who have been diagnosed with solid tumors that have not responded to treatment. Design: - Eligible participants will be screened with a physical examination, blood and tumor samples, and imaging studies. - Participants will have 21-day treatment cycles of vorinostat and bortezomib. Vorinostat will be given as either tablets or liquid doses on days 1 through 5 and 8 through 12 of each cycle. Bortezomib will be given as an intravenous injection on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 of each cycle. Participants will keep a drug administration diary to record information about side effects or other problems with the treatment. - Participants may continue to receive vorinostat and bortezomib for up to 2 years unless serious side effects develop or the tumor does not respond to treatment. - Additional blood samples will be taken at regular intervals for the first 3 days after the first bortezomib dose and for the first 2 days after the first vorinostat dose of the first treatment cycle.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects a new drug SB939 has on you and your sarcoma. This research is being done because there is a need for better treatment options for advanced or recurring sarcoma. SB939 has been shown to shrink tumours in animals and some people and seems promising but it is not clear if it has any positive effects in sarcoma.
The purpose of this study is to test the combination of the chemotherapy drugs Gemcitabine, bevacizumab, and docetaxel with valproic acid to treat patients with metastatic sarcoma. Valproic acid is used by people who have seizures to prevent seizures from happening; however, its use in cancer is investigational. This study will help define the proper dosing of this valproic acid. We will assess the safety of valproic acid with the combination of the above chemotherapy drugs and check for possible side effects. Valproic acid may improve the function of the chemotherapy drugs against the cancer.
To study the activity and toxicity of a neoadjuvant regimen including high-dose ifosfamide in combination with radiotherapy, and subsequent surgery, in high-risk soft tissue sarcomas.
This clinical trial is studying patient, physician, and nurse factors associated with entry onto clinical trials and finishing treatment in patients with primary or recurrent uterine, endometrial, or cervical cancer. Determining how patients make decisions about participating in a clinical trial may help doctors plan clinical trials in which more patients are willing to participate and are satisfied with their decision to participate.
Analyze pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin in children with cancer. Furthermore investigate the predictive role of troponin and natriuretic peptides for anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity .
RATIONALE: Stereotactic radiosurgery can send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies stereotactic radiosurgery using CyberKnife works in treating women with advanced or recurrent gynecological malignancies.
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical response to daily Indinavir oral administration in association with a conventional chemotherapy based on cycles of systemic Vinblastine +/- Bleomycin in patients affected by advanced classical (non HIV-associated) Kaposi's sarcoma
