Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well alisertib works in treating patients with sarcoma that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Alisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase II trial studies how well cixutumumab and temsirolimus work in treating patients with recurrent or refractory sarcoma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cixutumumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving cixutumumab and temsirolimus together may kill more tumor cells.
This research trial studies genes in tissue samples from younger and adolescent patients with soft tissue sarcomas. Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors find better ways to treat cancer
The purpose of this study is to determine whether 5-azacitidine in combination with romidepsin cancer are effective in the treatment of advanced solid tumors.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well gemcitabine hydrochloride works with or without pazopanib hydrochloride in treating patients with refractory soft tissue sarcoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Pazopanib hydrochloride may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether gemcitabine hydrochloride is more effective with or without pazopanib hydrochloride in treating patients with soft tissue sarcoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of single agent pazopanib in subjects with unresectable or metastatic liposarcoma.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and how well giving autologous T cells with cyclophosphamide works in treating patients with soft tissue sarcoma that is metastatic or cannot be removed by surgery. Biological therapies, such as cellular adoptive immunotherapy, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving autologous T cells together with cyclophosphamide may kill more tumor cells.
L-sarcomas represent about one third of all adult soft tissue sarcomas (24 % liposarcomas and 12 % leiomyosarcomas). Approval for the induction of trabectedin into the treatment armamentarium of advanced and/or metastatic soft tissue sarcomas after treatment failure with anthracyclines and/or ifosfamide depended mainly on its activity in the L-sarcomas (Garcia-Carbonero 2004, Le Cesne 2005, and Demetri 2009). Significant activity has been described for the use of gemcitabine and especially the combination of gemcitabine and docetaxel mainly in leiomyosarcomas and liposarcomas (Maki 2007). However, the combination of gemcitabine and docetaxel is associated with significant toxicity. Pulmonary toxicity and refractory peripheral oedema are the most common severe adverse events. The aim of the present phase I study will be to examine safety data of this promising treatment combination of gemcitabine and trabectedin in L-sarcomas.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether overall survival for the trabectedin group is superior to the dacarbazine group for patients with advanced L-sarcoma (liposarcoma or leiomyosarcoma).
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, Palbociclib (Ibrance) (formerly known as PD0332991) has on the patient and on the liposarcoma. Palbociclib is an investigational drug. An investigational drug is a medication that has not been approved for marketing by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Palbociclib blocks a protein called CDK4 which is part of a pathway in liposarcoma cells that is over-active. The investigators hope that blocking CDK4 will shut down this pathway in the liposarcoma cells and stop tumors from growing. Palbociclib is an oral medication.
