Filter by:Efficacy and safety of trabectedin in real-life practice, routinely used for the management of advanced sarcoma after failure of anthracyclines and ifosfamide or patients unsuited to receive these drugs in Germany. Trabectedin is indicated for the treatment of patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma, after failure of anthracyclines and ifosfamide, or who are unsuited to receive these agents. Efficacy data are based mainly on liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma patients.
Pazopanib monotherapy is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency, and other regulatory authorities worldwide for the treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma and patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS) who received prior chemotherapy. Based on the improved progression-free survival and sustained responses observed in a pivotal Phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study, it is hypothesized that pazopanib may have a role in a maintenance setting for STS in maintaining the initial response to chemotherapy and delaying the need for further treatment at relapse and its associated toxicity and impact on health-related quality-of-life. This Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate maintenance therapy with pazopanib versus placebo in subjects with advanced or metastatic STS who have not progressed after 4 to 6 cycles of first-line anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Approximately 188 eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to treatment with pazopanib 800 milligrams (mg) daily or placebo. Study completion will be the point at which 70% of randomized subjects have died. Once a subject has objective evidence of disease progression, the subject will be managed as per standard practice by their physician. Subjects will continue to be followed for second progression, health related quality of life, survival until study completion, withdrawal of consent, or early termination of the study.
This trial compares trabectedin alone to trabectedin in combination with regional hyperthermia in patients with high-risk soft tissue sarcoma. The study is designed to demonstrate a significant benefit for sarcoma-therapy by adding regional hyperthermia.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if pazopanib when given in combination with topotecan can help to control sarcomas. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied. Pazopanib hydrochloride and topotecan hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Study Title: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of the Promoting Resilience in Stress Management (PRISM) Intervention for Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer Study Population and Sample Size: Two cohorts of Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) patients with diagnosis of new or recurrent cancer between 1 and 10 weeks prior to enrollment: those ages 13-17 (N=50); (2) those ages 18-25 (N=50). Study Design: Pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT). Primary Objective: To test the efficacy of the "Promoting Resilience in Stress Management" (PRISM) among Adolescents and Young Adults with cancer. Primary Outcome: Change in patient-reported resilience (based on score of standardized Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale) at 6 months. Secondary Outcomes: 1. Patient-reported resilience at 2, 4, and 12 months 2. Patient-reported self-efficacy, benefit-finding, psychological distress, quality of life, and health-behaviors at 6 and 12 months. 3. Qualitative assessment of patient-reported goals at 6 and 12 months 4. Development of a cohort of AYA cancer survivors for assessment of long-term psychosocial outcomes Study Duration: 3 years
The Phase Ib and II cohorts will enroll patients with metistatic solid tumors. Phase II only will enroll the following patients: Patients with metastatic sarcoma to be enrolled in the following 4 arms: pembro plus gemcitabine, pembro plus gemcitabine and docetaxel, pembro plus gemcitabine and vinorelbine, and pembro plus liposomal doxorubicin. Patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma to be enrolled in the pembro plus gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel arm. Patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer to be enrolled in the pembro plus irinotecan arm. Patients with ER+ breast cancer to be enrolled in the pembro and vinorelbine arm. Patients with ovarian cancer to be enrolled in the pembroplus liposomal doxorubicin arm. Patients with metastatic TNBC (ER/PR/HER2 negative) to be enrolled in the pembro plus gemcitabine arm.
The purpose of this study is to assess how the body handles olaratumab when it is given with another drug called doxorubicin. The safety and tolerability of these drugs will be studied. Each participant will complete two 21-day cycles in a fixed order. Participants who complete Cycle 2 may continue to receive olaratumab + doxorubicin for an additional six 21-day cycles and then may receive olaratumab alone until discontinuation criteria are met. Screening is required within 21 days prior to first dose. Part B was added in October, 2015 to assess how the body handles a higher dose of olaratumab when given with doxorubicin. Participants may only enroll in one part.
This pilot, phase I trial studies the safety of cancer-testis antigen (NY-ESO-1)-specific T cells (a type of immune cell) in treating patients with NY-ESO-1-expressing sarcomas that have spread to other places in the body and are receiving palliative (relief of symptoms and suffering caused by cancer) radiation therapy. Placing a modified gene for NY-ESO-1 into white blood cells may help the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells that express NY-ESO-1. Palliative radiation therapy may help patients with advanced sarcoma live more comfortably. Giving NY-ESO-1-specific T cells following palliative radiation therapy may be a better treatment for patients with sarcomas.
The aim of the proposed project is to study the long-term impact of adjuvant systemic multi- agent chemotherapy (cisplatin, anthracyclines, vincristine, methotrexate, alkylating agents) in survivors (treated between 1992 and 2014 in UZ Leuven) of paediatric bone or soft tissue sarcomas on neurocognitive functioning.
The purpose of this study is to find out how an antibody called Hu3F8 travels through the body and to tumors. Antibodies, like Hu3F8, are proteins that help attack tumors or fight infections. Antibodies can be made by your own body or in a laboratory. The target of an antibody is called an antigen; antibodies fit their antigen like a lock fits a key.
