Filter by:IMRiS is a phase II trial which aims to assess the feasibility, efficacy and toxicity of Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) in three different cohorts of patients with primary bone and soft tissue sarcoma and to demonstrate whether IMRT can improve on current clinical outcomes. Cohort 1 of the trial is now closed to recruitment.
This phase I trial studies the safety of transplantation with a haploidentical donor peripheral blood stem cell graft depleted of TCRαβ+ cells and CD19+ cells in conjunction with the immunomodulating drug, Zoledronate, given in the post-transplant period to treat pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies or high risk solid tumors.
Progress in the treatment of children with leukemia and lymphoma results in high cure rates but progress in the treatment of children and adolescents with solid tumors has been slow. Despite aggressive therapy with multimodality treatment involving surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, about two thirds of the patients with metastatic Ewing sarcoma (EWS), and intermediate and high risk rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) will relapse. The available second line therapies for relapse are limited and often not effective. There is a dire need to look for treatment options beyond conventional means for the treatment of these patients. Infusions of allogeneic natural killer (NK) cells in leukemia patients have shown to be tolerated well without inducing graft versus host disease (GVHD). There is also mounting evidence that NK cells have activity against solid tumors. In the lab the investigators tested NK cell activity against cell lines from different paediatric solid tumors. Among paediatric solid tumors, EWS and RMS are exquisitely sensitive to killing by expanded NK cells; NK cells also have activity against OS cells. Preliminary clinical data suggest that donor NK cells may exert antitumor activity in children with solid tumors undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Taking into account the safety of adaptive NK cell infusion, and their efficacy against EWS, RMS and OS, NK cells could be a powerful new tool in the treatment of paediatric solid tumors. The great anti-tumor activity of expanded and activated NK cells, together with the feasibility of infusing haploidentical NK cells in a non-transplant setting form a compelling rationale for the clinical testing of these NK cells in patients with sarcoma.
The investigators hypothesize that this Phase 2 cellular and adoptive immunotherapy study using human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) followed by an early, post-transplant infusion of donor natural killer (NK) cells on Day +7 will not only be well-tolerated in this heavily-treated population (safety), but will also provide a mechanism to treat high-risk solid tumors, leading to improved disease control rate (efficacy). Disease control rate is defined as the combination of complete (CR) and partial (PR) response and stable disease (SD). The investigators further propose that this infusion of donor NK cells will influence the development of particular NK and T cell subtypes which will provide immediate/long-term tumor surveillance, infectious monitoring, and durable engraftment. Patients with high-risk solid tumors (Ewings Sarcoma, Neuroblastoma and Rhabdomyosarcoma) who have either measurable or unmeasurable disease and have met eligibility will be enrolled on this trial for a goal enrollment of 20 patients over 4 years.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Magnetic Resonance guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound ablative therapy is safe and feasible for children, adolescents, and young adults with refractory or relapsed solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to define the dose-limiting toxicities and maximum tolerated dose of the poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitor niraparib and escalating doses of temozolomide and/or irinotecan in patients with pre-treated incurable Ewing sarcoma.
This is a Phase 1 study of the combination of two drugs: MM-398 and Cyclophosphamide. The goal is to find the highest dose of MM-398 that can be given safely when it is used together with the chemotherapy drug Cyclophosphamide.
The purpose of this study is to examine the toxicity of using allogeneic stem cell transplantation for treatment of subjects with relapsed or refractory Ewing Sarcoma (ES). Donors will consist of either Human Leukocyte Antigen identical (HLA)or 9/10 (A, B, C, DR, DQ [A, B, C, are Class I markers for HLA and DR and DQ are Class II markers for Matching for Transplant for Donors to match with recipient]) matched related or unrelated donors. Specifically, we will examine: - The toxicity of allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) in this patient population, as related to incidence of grade 3-4 acute Graft Verse Host Disease (GVHD). - The incidence of transplant related mortality at 100 days.
The objective of these studies is to use changes in 3 Tesla MRI measurements of tumor protein content, cell density, and microvessel perfusion, obtained before and after a single cycle of NAC, to predict eventual tumor response observed at the conclusion of NAC, within patients with osteosarcoma or Ewing Sarcoma.
This research study is a Three arm Phase I clinical trial, which tests the safety of an investigational drug or combination of drugs and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the combination of investigational drugs to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the combination of drugs is being studied. It also means that the FDA has not yet approved the combination of drugs for your type of cancer. Olaparib works by blocking the activity of a protein called poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) which is involved in DNA repair. Cancer cells rely on PARP to repair their DNA and enable them to continue dividing. Olaparib has been used in research studies with other cancers. Information from those other research studies suggests that this drug may help to treat patients with Ewing's sarcoma. The investigational drug olaparib is not approved for any use outside of research studies. Temozolomide (Temodar) is approved by the FDA for the treatment of a type of brain tumor, glioblastoma. It has been studied in Ewing sarcoma in previous research studies. While it is not approved by the FDA for Ewing sarcoma, it is considered part of standard treatment for relapsed disease. Irinotecan is approved by the FDA for the treatment of gastrointestinal cancers. It has been studied in Ewing sarcoma in previous research studies. While it is not approved by the FDA for Ewing sarcoma, it is considered part of standard treatment for relapsed disease. Laboratory studies suggest that the combination of olaparib and temozolomide and/or irinotecan may help kill Ewing sarcoma or rhabdomyosarcoma cells. In this research study, the investigators are looking for the highest dose of the combination of olaparib and irinotecan and/or temozolomide that can be given safely. The investigators will also begin to collect information about the effects of the combination on Ewing sarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma.
