Filter by:A tissue biopsy is currently the only clinical test or procedure that is able to confirm the initial diagnosis of soft tissue or metastatic sarcoma and evaluate its progress during treatment. However, tissue biopsy collection can be challenging (depending on the location of the tumor), and this procedure poses physical risks to the patient. A tissue biopsy also needs to be recollected at various time points in order to assess if the patient is responding to treatment. In this project, the investigator would like to collect blood samples in addition to the sample of the tumor that will be collected before treatment is started. The investigator would like to analyze both blood and tumor, in hopes of identifying new biomarkers of sarcoma that can help the study doctors better diagnose sarcoma for patients in the future without needing to collect a piece of their tumor. A biomarker is something found in the blood, other body fluids, or tissues that can be used to measure the progress of disease, how a treatment is working, or its likelihood of being successful. In this project, the investigator would like to compare ctDNA from blood to the DNA in the tumor. ctDNA, or circulating tumor DNA, is DNA originating from the tumor that is present in the blood. It can be assessed by taking an additional sample of blood when it will be collected for normal laboratory tests. These biomarkers may also help the study doctors detect how a patient is responding to their treatment or help predict their response to future treatment.
Anlotinib is a multi-target receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It can inhibit the angiogenesis related kinase, such as Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor (VEGFR), Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor(FGFR), Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor(PDGFR), and tumor cell proliferation related kinase c-Kit kinase. Anlotinib is an efficient second line therapeutic agent in treatment for metastatic soft tissue sarcoma which has been approved in clinical trials (ALTER-0203). Therefore, this study evaluates the safety and efficacy of anlotinib as maintenance treatment of disease control in advanced soft tissue sarcoma.
This is a Phase 2 study using talimogene laherparepvec, nivolumab, and trabectedin as first, second or third line therapy for advanced sarcoma, including desmoid tumor and chordoma.
The investigators explored the activity of anlotinib combined with Liposomal Doxorubicin in patients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Soft Tissue Sarcoma
The main purpose of this study is to establish a safe and tolerable dose combination (the "maximum tolerated dose") of selinexor and ixazomib when used together for the treatment of patients with certain types of advanced sarcoma. The study will enroll patients with advanced dedifferentiated liposarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, alveolar soft part sarcoma and Ewing sarcoma. Future studies to further evaluate the safety and anti-cancer efficacy of this treatment for sarcoma will use the dose combination determined in this study.
Prospective feasibility study of perioperative nutrition in patients affected by primary retroperitoneal sarcoma
Patients with a diagnosis listed under "conditions" below are eligible to be considered for the EAP. These conditions must be serious or life-threatening at the time of enrollment and appropriate, comparable, or satisfactory alternative treatments must have been tried without clinical success. Patients with conditions not listed under "conditions" below are not eligible for the tazemetostat EAP.
The purpose of this research is to study a medication called liposomal bupivacaine (EXPAREL®). Study doctors want to see if it is safe, if it can reduce pain after surgery, and the study doctor want to study its use after the removal a soft tissue tumor called a sarcoma
This study is intended to evaluate the ability of an intramyocardial strain analysis package with cardiac MRI to assist in the early detection and management of cardiotoxicity from therapeutics used to treat cancer.
This study is a prospective, non-randomized feasibility study. Freshly isolated tumor cells from patients will be screened using state-of-the-art viability assay designed for ex vivo high-throughput drug sensitivity testing (DST). In addition, genetic information will be obtained from cancer and normal (germline) tissue and correlated with drug response. This study will provide the platform for informing treating physician about individualized treatment options. The main outcome of this study will be the proportions of the patients whose treatment was guided by the personalized medicine approach.
