Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to test if Axitinib together with Pembrolizumab can slow tumor growth and know the side effects of the combination treatment.
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 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 study will primarily assess the antitumor activity of crizotinib in a variety of tumors with alterations in ALK and/or MET pathways. The targeted patient population will include patients with tumors harboring specific alterations leading to ALK and/or MET activation, where tyrosine kinase inhibitors against these targets have not yet been adequately explored.
This randomized phase I/II clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of gamma-secretase/notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 when given together with vismodegib and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced or metastatic sarcoma. Vismodegib may slow the growth of tumor cells. Gamma-secretase/notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving vismodegib together with gamma-secretase/notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 may be an effective treatment for sarcoma.
This is a multi-center, single arm intended to evaluate the anti-tumor effect of ARQ 197 in patients with microphthalmia transcription factor associated (MiT) tumors. MiT tumors include clear cell sarcoma, alveolar soft parts sarcoma, and translocation associated renal cell carcinoma.
This study will examine the response rate and the 6-month progression-free survival rates of subjects with advanced sarcoma treated with dasatinib.
This is a phase II study of perifosine in patients with chondrosarcomas, alveolar soft part sarcomas and extra-skeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas. Patients will receive perifosine 100 mg orally qhs with food until disease progression. The goals of this study include: - In this study a daily dose of perifosine previously determined to be relatively non-toxic will be evaluated in patients with chondrosarcomas, alveolar soft part sarcomas and extra-skeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas. - Response to therapy will be based on regression of measurable disease according to Choi criteria. Time to progression and duration of stable disease will be measured as secondary endpoints of the study.
This phase III trial is studying observation to see how well a risk based treatment strategy works in patients with soft tissue sarcoma. In the study, patients are assigned to receive surgery +/- radiotherapy +/- chemotherapy depending on their risk of recurrence. Sometimes, after surgery, the tumor may not need additional treatment until it progresses. In this case, observation may be sufficient. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ifosfamide and doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy and radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving these treatments after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.
Background: Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare tumor. ASPS is resistant to chemotherapy and radiation. ASPS is characterized by slow growth. Currently no in vitro or in vivo models of ASPS exist for use in experimental therapeutic studies or biological investigations. Primary Objectives: Acquisition of blood and tissue from patients with ASPS. Acquisition of blood from healthy controls for comparison with blood from patients with ASPS. These control samples will be obtained from study NCI at Frederick Protocol OH99-C-N046. Eligibility: Subjects of any age with a diagnosis of primary or metastatic alveolar soft part sarcoma who are undergoing medically indicated surgery for their disease. Design: Patients with Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma (ASPS) will be eligible for this study. Biopsy tissue will be obtained as an additional sample at the time of a medically indicated procedure. Blood sample may be collected at initial visit and follow-up visits. Specific risks will be described in a separate consent to be obtained at the time of the biopsy. Tumor samples and blood samples will be processed and/or stored for use in research efforts in the laboratory of Dr. David Vistica, National Cancer Institute, Frederick, MD. Additionally, blood samples will be obtained from healthy volunteers for comparison to patients with ASPS. These control samples will be obtained from the National Cancer Institute at Frederick Protocol OH99-C-N046.
