Filter by:This randomized phase II trial studies how well rolapitant hydrochloride works in preventing nausea/vomiting in patients with sarcoma receiving chemotherapy. Antiemetic drugs, such as rolapitant hydrochloride, may help control or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients treated with chemotherapy.
Study for the treatment of metastatic Ewing sarcoma with high doses chemotherapy, radiotherapy and maintenance therapy.
Patients with recurrent or metastatic sarcoma will be consented to develop a patient derived xenograft (PDX or TumorGraft) model of their tumor to perform drug sensitivity testing. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the accuracy of the patient derived xenograft (PDX) model in predicting patient clinical response to the same drug treatment.
This phase II clinical trial studies how well thermal ablation and spine stereotactic radiosurgery work in treating patients with cancer that has spread to the spine (spine metastases) and is at risk for compressing the spinal cord. Thermal ablation uses a laser to heat tumor tissue and helps to shrink the tumor by destroying tumor cells. Stereotactic radiosurgery delivers a large dose of radiation in a short time precisely to the tumor, sparing healthy surrounding tissue. Combining thermal ablation with stereotactic radiosurgery may be a better way to control cancer that has spread to the spine and is at risk for compressing the spinal cord.
SARC021C is a nonrandomized, open-label, multicenter, continuation study designed to provide access to TH-302 for patients currently receiving and benefiting from single agent TH-302 therapy as part of the Phase III TH-CR-406/SARC021 study.
This study is evaluating treatment with CyberKnife for soft tissue sarcomas.
We intend to investigate the clinical application of two emerging imaging modalities for which the technical capability is currently in place at Mayo Clinic. The treatment of Ewing Sarcoma (ES), Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and soft tissue sarcoma (STS) patients on this study will involve multi-disciplinary contributions from nationally recognized sarcoma experts in Radiation Oncology, Radiology, Orthopedic Surgery, Pediatric Oncology, Medical Oncology and Pathology. Patients will undergo additional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging at the same time as the standard imaging. The ability to compare several imaging modalities within a single cohort of patients maximizes the potential of the study to impact the future management of sarcoma patients. The collaborative nature of this study, with essential contributions from many departments will undoubtedly improve the coordinated care of sarcoma patients and naturally disseminate the advanced imaging experience that is acquired.
This phase II trial studies the side effects of hypofractionated radiation therapy in treating patients with soft tissue sarcomas prior to surgery. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects.
DHEA is a natural allosteric inhibitor of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). G6PD is a key regulatory enzyme for the survival of synovial sarcoma. The investigators postulate that they can inhibit the production of NADPH in synovial sarcoma and cause cell death by using a naturally occurring G6PD inhibitor.
As the transparency committee of the Haute Autorité de Santé pointed out due to lack of data regarding comparative trial of Yondelis versus best supportive care, activity of Yondelis in soft tissue sarcoma remain to be assessed. For an antineoplastic drug toxicity is moderate. As previous studies shown, overall survival data for patients with advanced or metastatic STS are of poor prognosis despite improvement of results this last years. For example, median overall survival increased from 12,3 months (1987-1991) to 11,4 months (1992-1996) and then 18 months (2002-2006). Considering the latest results with and without Trabectedin, the investigators may consider that comparing Trabectedin with best supportive care is ethically acceptable as long as patients consent to enter the trial.
