View clinical trials related to Carcinosarcoma.
Filter by:Carcinosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm that is composed of both epithelial and mesenchymal elements and aggressive tumor that are staged as high-grade cancer in NCCN guideline. They are regarded as rare aggressive malignancies with a high potential to develop distant metastases and are associated with an overall poor survival. The aggressive nature of this malignancy coupled with a high relapse rate defines a poor clinical course for most patients. First line treatment of patients with advanced uterine carcinosarcoma with paclitaxel plus carboplatin achieved an objective response rate of 54% of patients. For this orphan tumor, carcinosarcoma, as these drugs would hypothetically act only on tissues with overexpression of PD-L1, they theoretically provide a more precise therapeutic effect on tumor cells with considerably less side effects. Therefore, the investigators suggest phase II trial of nivolumab for metastatic/recurred carcinosarcoma who have progressed after prior chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study to find out whether the combination of lenvatinib and pembrolizumab is an effective treatment for advanced uterine carcinosarcoma. The researchers will also do tests to find out whether biomarkers in the blood can predict the cancer's response to the study treatment. A biomarker is a biological molecule found in blood, other body fluids, or tissues that is a sign of a normal or abnormal process, or of a condition or disease. A biomarker may be used to see how well the body responds to a treatment for a disease or condition
This study is to find out how well liquid biopsies work as a non-invasive alternative to other methods of finding cancer cells (such as a tissue biopsy) in patients with high-risk endometrial cancer. A liquid biopsy is a blood test that may be able to find cancer cells. Collecting and storing samples of blood and tissue from patients with endometrial cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn how the cells in the blood may change during treatment for uterine cancer.
This study, ELU- FRα-1, is focused on adult subjects who have advanced, recurrent or refractory folate receptor alpha (FRα) overexpressing tumors considered to be topoisomerase 1 inhibitor-sensitive based on scientific literature, and, in the opinion of the Investigator, have no other meaningful life-prolonging therapy options available. ELU001 is a new chemical entity described as a C'Dot drug conjugate (CDC), consisting of payloads (exatecans) and targeting moieties (folic acid analogs) covalently bound by linkers to the C'Dot particle carrier. ELU001 will be the first drug-conjugate of its kind to be introduced into the clinic, a first in class, and a novel molecular entity.
This phase II trial studies the effect of APL-2 when given in combination with either pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab and bevacizumab compared with bevacizumab alone in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has come back (recurrent) and a buildup of fluid and cancer cells (malignant effusion). APL-2 may limit tumor progression, decrease malignant effusion production, and improve the immune system's response against cancer cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving APL-2 together with either pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab and bevacizumab may work better in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer and malignant effusion compared to bevacizumab alone.
This is an open-label, parallel group, non-randomized, multicenter phase II study to evaluate the efficacy of spartalizumab (cohorts 1 and 2) and tislelizumab (cohort 3) in monotherapy in patients with PD1-high-expressing tumors.
GISAR has an open and modular setup. It is sought to include as many German sarcoma and CS patients (i.e. sarcoma and CS patients treated in Germany) in the registry as possible. A basic data set should be collected on every included patient). In order to adress specific scientific questions, additionally detailed data can be collected in defined patient groups (e.g. effectiveness / adverse effects of systemic therapies in defined situations) within the context of sub-project add-on modules. This data collection can be prospective or retrospective depending on the sub-project
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of peposertib when given together with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride in treating patients with high or low grade ovarian cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Peposertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving peposertib and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride may work better in treating patients with ovarian cancer compared to pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride alone.
This randomized phase III trial studies short course vaginal cuff brachytherapy to see how well it works compared with standard of care vaginal cuff brachytherapy in treating participants with stage I-II endometrial cancer. Short course vaginal cuff brachytherapy, also known as internal radiation therapy, uses (over a shorter period) radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor in the upper portion of the vagina to kill tumor cells. After completion of cohort 1 (108 participants), the protocol was expended to add a second cohort of 80 additional participants, and re-opened study recruitment.
