Filter by:This randomized phase II trial studies how well nivolumab with or without ipilimumab works in treating patients with sarcoma that has spread from the primary site to other parts of the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether nivolumab works better with or without ipilimumab in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable sarcoma.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how CGT9486 (fka PLX9486) may affect cancer cells with certain mutations in the KIT gene, specifically in participants with types of advanced solid tumors including gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). CGT9486 (fka PLX9486) is designed to block KIT gene mutations. These mutations can cause cancer and cancer cell growth. By blocking these mutations, the drug may kill the cancer cells with the mutation and/or stop the tumor from growing. By combining CGT9486 (fka PLX9486) with PLX3397 and CGT9486 (fka PLX9486) with sunitinib, the investigators hope to block most KIT gene mutations that drive cancer growth.
This is a 2 arms study concerning patients with primary GIST who followed an Imatinib adjuvant treatment for 3 years after surgery and who have a high risk of recurrence. In the first arm, patients will continue Imatinib treatment for 3 more years, allowing to determine if the continuation of this treatment is efficient for disease control, in terms of Disease Free Survival improvement. In the second arm, patients will discontinue the Imatinib treatment, as standard practice. This arm will allow to determine if the re-introduction of Imatinib at relapse is still an efficient treatment for the control of disease.
The goal of a phase Ib clinical trial is to find the doses of drugs that are safe. Although BGJ398 has been given to patients safely on its own, it has never been given together with imatinib mesylate. In this study, we will test the safety of taking BGJ398 with imatinib mesylate. The investigators will learn this by closely checking for side effects that the patient may experience. Side effects can be seen in laboratory studies, on physical examination, or by asking the patient.Once a dose has been determined to be safe, a larger Phase II study will be done in patients with advanced GIST who have never received any prior treatments.
The study is a multi-center, multi-national, open label, single arm Phase II study of single-agent cabozantinib. The objective of the study is to assess the safety and activity of cabozantinib in patients with metastatic GIST who have previously progressed on imatinib and sunitinib and have not been exposed yet to other KIT- or PDGFR-directed tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Patient will receive cabozantinib until they experience no further benefit from the treatment, becoming intolerant to the drug or wishing to discontinue the treatment. Treatment beyond RECIST 1.1 progression is allowed in patients deriving clinical benefit upon investigator's discretion, provided no other criteria for treatment withdrawal are met.
The BCCA Oncopanel is a clinical assay being developed to determine genotype status of a prospectively defined set of genes. The purpose of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility and effect on clinical-decision-making of the Oncopanel test. Eligible patients are those with advanced lung, colorectal, melanoma and GIST cancers and patients with diagnosed malignancies being considered for clinical trials.
The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety and tolerability of sunitinib alternating with regorafenib in participants with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor GIST, if the standard approved therapies (imatinib, sunitinib and regorafenib) have failed to control the disease. Additionally, this study seeks to determine the highest dose that can be given safely for this combination of drugs.

Many tumor cells, in contrast to normal cells, have been shown to require the amino acid glutamine to produce energy for growth and survival. To exploit the dependence of tumors on glutamine, CB-839, a potent and selective inhibitor of the first enzyme in glutamine utilization, glutaminase, will be tested in this Phase 1 study in patients with solid tumors. This study is an open-label Phase 1 evaluation of CB-839 in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study will be conducted in 2 parts. Part 1 is a dose escalation study enrolling patients with locally-advanced, metastatic and/or refractory solid tumors to receive CB-839 capsules orally twice or three times daily. In Part 2, patients with each of the following diseases will be enrolled: A) Triple-Negative Breast Cancer, B) Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (adenocarcinoma), C) Renal Cell Cancer, D) Mesothelioma, E) Fumarate hydratase (FH)-deficient tumors, F) Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)-deficient gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), G) SDH-deficient non-GIST tumors, H) tumors harboring mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) or IDH2, and I) cMyc mutation tumors. As an extension of Parts 1 & 2, patients will be treated with CB-839 in combination with standard chemotherapy. Combination groups include: Pac-CB, CBE, CB-Erl, CBD, and CB-Cabo. Pac-CB: patients with locally-advanced or metastatic TNBC will be treated with paclitaxel and CB-839. CBE: patients with advanced clear cell RCC or papillary RCC will be treated with everolimus in combination with CB-839. CB-Erl: patients with advanced NSCLC lacking the T790M EGFR mutation will be treated with erlotinib and CB-839. CBD: patients with NSCLC harboring KRAS mutation will be treated with docetaxel and CB-839. CB-Cabo: patients with histologically confirmed diagnosis of locally-advanced, inoperable or metastatic RCC treated with cabozantinib in combination with CB-839. All patients will be assessed for safety, pharmacokinetics (plasma concentration of drug), pharmacodynamics (inhibition of glutaminase), biomarkers (biochemical markers that may predict responsiveness in later studies), and tumor response.
Background: -Some people with wild-type gastrointestinal stromal tumors (WT-GIST) have a deficiency in one of their proteins called succinate dehydrogenase (SDH). Vandetanib is a cancer drug that has been approved to treat thyroid cancer and has been used with some success in other tumors that have a similar loss of SDH. Researchers want to see if this drug can also decrease tumor growth in people with WT-GIST. Objectives: -To test whether the study drug will benefit people with WT-GIST. Eligibility: -Adults and children 3 years old and older with WT-GIST. Design: - Researchers will test participants tumor tissue to confirm it is the wild type of GIST. - Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. They will also have electrical recording of the heart (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)) and scans of the tumor. - Participants will take the study drug in 28-day cycles. Their doctor will decide how many cycles they can complete. - They will take the study drug once every day and record it in a diary. - On Day 14, they will also visit their doctor to look for side effects. - Before cycles 2, 3 and 4, participants will have a physical exam, urine tests, blood pressure check, and blood tests. These tests will then be done periodically for as long as they are in the study. - Before cycle 4, scans will be done to check the size of the cancer. Most of these will be repeated every 3-6 cycles. - When they stop taking the study drug, participants will return to the clinic for a physical exam and blood tests.
