NCT ID: NCT00802880 Completed - Sarcoma Clinical Trials

Dacarbazine for Metastatic Soft Tissue and Bone Sarcoma

Start date: March 2009
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine the overall best tumor response rate to dacarbazine given until disease progression as assessed by RECIST criteria, CT and clinical exams in patients with metastatic sarcomas.

NCT ID: NCT00752206 Terminated - Osteosarcoma Clinical Trials

A Placebo-Controlled Study of Saracatinib (AZD0530) in Patients With Recurrent Osteosarcoma Localized to the Lung

Start date: March 2009
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine how long patients who undergo complete surgical removal of recurrent osteosarcoma in the lung will remain free of cancer after taking Saracatinib compared to patients taking placebo (a sugar pill).

NCT ID: NCT00743509 Completed - Osteosarcoma Clinical Trials

A Phase II Study of Oral Cyclophosphamide and Sirolimus (OCR) in Advanced Sarcoma

OCR
Start date: August 2008
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this Phase II study will assess the effectiveness of the combination of oral cyclophosphamide and sirolimus in sarcoma patients with relapsed or widespread disease who cannot be cured by surgery, radiation or conventional chemotherapy.

NCT ID: NCT00743496 Completed - Melanoma Clinical Trials

A Phase I Trial Of The Humanized Anti-GD2 Antibody In Children And Adolescents With Neuroblastoma, Osteosarcoma, Ewing Sarcoma and Melanoma

Start date: October 8, 2008
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Relapsed and/or refractory neuroblastoma, osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma and melanoma are considered difficult to treat and cure. For this study we are testing the use of a new experimental (investigational) antibody called hu14.18K322A. GD2 is expressed on the surface of most of these tumor types. Two schedules of hu14.18K322A antibody will be evaluated in this study, (1) daily for four consecutive days schedule every 28 days and (2) once weekly for 4 weeks schedule every 28 days. Approximately 25-40 participants will be required to define the maximum tolerated dose for each schedule. Participants will continue on treatment for a maximum of 4 to 8 courses or until one or more of the criteria for off-treatment are met.

NCT ID: NCT00742924 Completed - Sarcoma Clinical Trials

Zoledronic Acid and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Metastatic Osteosarcoma

Start date: August 2008
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of zoledronic acid when given together with combination chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed metastatic osteosarcoma.

NCT ID: NCT00720174 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Adult Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Cixutumumab and Doxorubicin Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Unresectable, Locally Advanced, or Metastatic Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Start date: June 2008
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of cixutumumab given together with doxorubicin hydrochloride and to see how well they work in treating patients with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic soft tissue 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. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving monoclonal antibody cixutumumab together with doxorubicin hydrochloride may kill more tumor cells.

NCT ID: NCT00716976 Completed - Ovarian Cancer Clinical Trials

Sodium Thiosulfate in Preventing Hearing Loss in Young Patients Receiving Cisplatin for Newly Diagnosed Germ Cell Tumor, Hepatoblastoma, Medulloblastoma, Neuroblastoma, Osteosarcoma, or Other Malignancy

Start date: June 23, 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Sodium thiosulfate may reduce or prevent hearing loss in young patients receiving cisplatin for cancer. It is not yet known whether sodium thiosulfate is more effective than no additional treatment in preventing hearing loss. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying sodium thiosulfate to see how well it works in preventing hearing loss in young patients receiving cisplatin for newly diagnosed germ cell tumor, hepatoblastoma, medulloblastoma, neuroblastoma, osteosarcoma, or other malignancy.

NCT ID: NCT00691236 Recruiting - Osteosarcoma Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Zoledronic Acid as a Single Agent or as an Adjuvant to Chemotherapy in High Grade Osteosarcoma

ZOL
Start date: May 2008
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This trial will be a pilot study to find out if zoledronic acid improves the response to chemotherapy in high grade osteosarcoma. In arm A of the study, 40 adult patients will be randomised into two groups. One group will get standard chemotherapy and the other group will get Zoledronic acid in addition to chemotherapy. The investigators will assess the histological necrosis as well as disease status for up to 2 years. In Arm B, adult patients with relapsed disease or advanced disease who are unable to take any other therapy and are given only symptomatic care will be given 6 doses of zoledronic acid and followed up for disease status. This will be to determine the role of zoledronic acid as a single agent.

NCT ID: NCT00689195 Recruiting - Osteosarcoma Clinical Trials

Pilot Study of Curcumin Formulation and Ashwagandha Extract in Advanced Osteosarcoma

OSCAT
Start date: May 2008
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Curcumin as well as the ashwagandha extract are ingredients from traditional indian medicine and have been shown to be potent anti-cancer compounds in laboratory as well as animal studies. This study will test the safety and efficacy of a curcumin formulation and the ashwagandha extract in high grade relapsed or metastatic osteosarcoma where no other second line chemotherapy is being given. The pharmacokinetics will be studied along with response as measured on CT scans and PET scans as well as the quality of life and any toxicity.

NCT ID: NCT00686738 Completed - Osteosarcoma Clinical Trials

Development of Indices Predicting Response to Pre-operative Chemotherapy in Osteosarcoma Patients

Start date: February 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to develop indices predicting response to pre-operative chemotherapy in osteosarcoma patients. Histologic response to pre-operative chemotherapy is very important for the ultimate outcome of osteosarcoma patients. Conventional methods such as CT or MRI evaluating tumor response to chemotherapy is not so efficient in tumors like osteosarcoma. Instead, the investigators will test whether blood TGF-b1 levels, PET/CT findings, MRS findings as well as the level of NF-kB expression in tumor tissues can predict chemotherapy response in osteosarcoma.
