Filter by:This pilot clinical trial studies real-time contrast-enhanced ultrasonography and shear wave elastography in predicting treatment response in patients with soft tissue sarcomas. Ultrasonography and elastography are diagnostic imaging tests that use sound waves to make pictures of the body without using radiation (x-rays). Real-time contrast-enhanced ultrasonography and shear wave elastography may help measure a patient's response to treatment given before surgery in patients with soft tissue sarcoma.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy given before surgery of soft tissue sarcoma decreases the size of the tumor mass and the presence of malignant cells in its peripheral region. NBTXR3 and radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells and increase the tumor shrinkage rendering surgery more feasible or easier and achieve better local control of the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II/III is a prospective randomized, multi-center, open-label and active controlled two arms study in patients with locally advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS) of the extremity and trunk wall. Patients will be randomized to receive either NBTXR3 as intratumor injection, activated by external beam radiation therapy or external beam radiation therapy alone, as preoperative treatment. Once the radiotherapy treatment is completed, tumor surgery will be performed in all patients.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy given before surgery of soft tissue sarcoma decreases the size of the tumor mass and the presence of malignant cells in its peripheral region. NBTXR3 and radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells and increase the tumor shrinkage rendering surgery more feasible or easier and achieve better local control of the tumor. PURPOSE: This Phase I trial aims at evaluating the feasibility of the NBTXR3 injection in the tumor, safety and the adequate dose of NBTXR3 when given with radiation therapy.
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a peptide may make the body build an immune response and kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase I trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy in treating patients who have metastatic cancer that has not responded to previous therapy.
