Filter by:This will be a prospective pilot study that will evaluate 20 patients who were diagnosed with FNCLCC Grade 2 or 3 soft tissue sarcomas and will undergo surgical resection. Based upon the FDA label, successful protocols used for intraoperative fluorescence-guided visualization for glioma resections, and on drug company current dosing recommendation for this study, patients will be administered 20 mg/kg body weight of 5-ALA orally at 3-4 hours prior to surgery. The use of 5-ALA fluorescence will be relevant for evaluating the resected tumor per gross margins and identifying further areas of fluorescing tissues beyond the gross tumor margins.
assess whether there is a correlation between some factors (age, sex, tumor volume, tumor site, chemotherapy-induced necrosis, radiation and biomarkers) and overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) in patients with Ewing sarcoma. Identification of reliable prognostic factors could help to identify high-risk patients, which may require a different treatment and follow up.
The study is designed to understand the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and preliminary antitumor activity of MGC026 in participants with relapsed or refractory, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors The study has a dose escalation portion and a cohort expansion portion of the study. Participants will receive MGC026 by intravenous (IV) infusion. The dose of MGC026 will be assigned at the time of enrollment. Participants may receive up to 35 treatments if there are no severe side effects and as long as the cancer does not get worse. Participants will be monitored for side effects, and progression of cancer, have blood samples collected for routing laboratory work, and blood samples collected for research purposes.
The study participant has been diagnosed with non-rhabdomyosarcoma (NRSTS). Primary Objectives Intermediate-Risk - To estimate the 3-year event-free survival for intermediate-risk patients treated with ifosfamide, doxorubicin, pazopanib, surgery, and maintenance pazopanib, with or without RT. - To characterize the pharmacokinetics of pazopanib and doxorubicin in combination with ifosfamide in intermediate-risk participants, to assess potential covariates to explain the inter- and intra-individual pharmacokinetic variability, and to explore associations between clinical effects and pazopanib and doxorubicin pharmacokinetics. High-Risk - To estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended phase 2 dosage (RP2D) of selinexor in combination with ifosfamide, doxorubicin, pazopanib, and maintenance pazopanib in high-risk participants. - To characterize the pharmacokinetics of selinexor, pazopanib and doxorubicin in combination with ifosfamide in high-risk participants, to assess potential covariates to explain the inter- and intra-individual pharmacokinetic variability, and to explore associations between clinical effects and selinexor, pazopanib and doxorubicin pharmacokinetics. Secondary Objectives - To estimate the cumulative incidence of primary site local failure and distant metastasis-free, disease-free, event-free, and overall survival in participants treated on the risk-based treatment strategy defined in this protocol. - To define and describe the CTCAE Grade 3 or higher toxicities, and specific grade 1-2 toxicities, in low- and intermediate-risk participants. - To study the association between radiation dosimetry in participants receiving radiation therapy and the incidence and type of dosimetric local failure, normal adjacent tissue exposure, and musculoskeletal toxicity. - To evaluate the objective response rate (complete and partial response) after 3 cycles for high-risk patients receiving the combination of selinexor with ifosfamide, doxorubicin, pazopanib, and maintenance pazopanib. - To assess the relationship between the pharmacogenetic variation in drug-metabolizing enzymes or drug transporters and the pharmacokinetics of selinexor, pazopanib, and doxorubicin in intermediate- or high-risk patients. Exploratory Objectives - To explore the correlation between radiographic response, pathologic response, survival, and toxicity, and tumor molecular characteristics, as assessed through next-generation sequencing (NGS), including whole genome sequencing (WGS), whole exome sequencing (WES), and RNA sequencing (RNAseq). - To explore the feasibility of determining DNA mutational signatures and homologous repair deficiency status in primary tumor samples and to explore the correlation between these molecular findings and the radiographic response, survival, and toxicity of patients treated on this protocol. - To explore the feasibility of obtaining DNA methylation profiling on pretreatment, post-induction chemotherapy, and recurrent (if possible) tumor material, and to assess the correlation with this and pathologic diagnosis, tumor control, and survival outcomes where feasible. - To explore the feasibility of obtaining high resolution single-cell RNA sequencing of pretreatment, post-induction chemotherapy, and recurrent (if possible) tumor material, and to characterize the longitudinal changes in tumor heterogeneity and tumor microenvironment. - To explore the feasibility of identifying characteristic alterations in non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in blood as a non-invasive method of detecting and tracking changes during therapy, and to assess the correlation of cfDNA and mutations in tumor samples. - To describe cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health, cardiopulmonary fitness among children and young adults with NRSTS treated on this protocol. - To investigate the potential prognostic value of serum cardiac biomarkers (high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI), N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-Pro-BNP), serial electrocardiograms (EKGs), and serial echocardiograms in patients receiving ifosfamide, doxorubicin, and pazopanib, with or without selinexor. - To define the rates of near-complete pathologic response (>90% necrosis) and change in FDG PET maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) from baseline to week 13 in intermediate risk patients with initially unresectable tumors treated with induction pazopanib, ifosfamide, and doxorubicin, and to correlate this change with tumor control and survival outcomes. - To determine the number of high-risk patients initially judged unresectable at diagnosis that are able to undergo primary tumor resection after treatment with ifosfamide, doxorubicin, selinexor, and pazopanib. - To identify the frequency with which assessment of volumes of interest (VOIs) of target lesions would alter RECIST response assessment compared with standard linear measurements.
Evaluating the efficacy of sirolimus (compared to standard therapy alone) in the treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy infected with Kaposi Sarcoma-associated virus -- a multicenter randomized controlled study.
This is a multi-center, multi-arm open-label phase Ib/II clinical study assessing the efficacy of concurrent lurbinectedin in combination with radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced, resectable, high-grade sarcomas.
Metronomic Cyclophosphamide's use in monotherapy as a palliative treatment against non-resectable and metastatic Soft Tissue Sarcomas relies on small retrospective cohorts' data. Current litterature needs external validation of its efficacy and safety profile in these settings of usually frail patients. The investigators assessed further data and aimed to identify predictive factors of metronomic cyclophosphamide impact in metastatic Soft Tissue Sarcomas.
ePPS-2202 is a study designed to evaluate the benefits of a dematerialised personalised care plan (PCP) compared to standard information/PCP for patients with advanced sarcomas receiving second-line treatment. Participants will be randomised to an experimental group or a control group. Patients in the experimental group will receive the dematerialised PCP in addition to the standard PCP while patients in the control group will receive the standard PCP alone. All patients will be followed until the end of second-line treatment, the start of a new line of treatment, or until the 24-month follow-up.
This multicenter retrospective study assessed the efficacy and safety of fruquintinib-based treatment in patients with refractory bone and soft tissue sarcomas after several lines of TKIs' resistance.
Adolescents and young adults (AYA) diagnosed with cancer experience unique challenges after completing treatment and face distinct barriers to optimal care and support. These challenges include higher levels of symptom burden and treatment complications, interrupted education, careers and relationships, and financial hardship. AYA lack access to peers, relevant information and emotional support, and report gaps in care when dealing with these difficult challenges. Digital peer navigation could help to address the needs of AYA and overcome barriers to care and support. The PI developed True North Peer Navigation (TrueNTH-PN), an evidence-based digital peer navigation program for men with prostate cancer and online peer navigator training course. The goal of this project is to adapt TrueNTH-PN for AYA and evaluate its feasibility to overcome barriers to care and support, and enhance patient activation among AYA during the challenging post-treatment phase. In partnership with AYA cancer survivors, the Canadian Cancer Society, Young Adult Cancer Canada, a digital app design firm and technology provider, our cross-Canada team will: (1) Adapt and evaluate the usability of the TrueNTH-PN app for AYA; (2) Adapt and evaluate the effectiveness of the Peer Navigator Training Course for AYA; and (3) Determine the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of the new AYA-PN program among post-treatment AYA cancer survivors. This project will produce an innovative solution to an important service gap in the lives of AYA with cancer. It has the potential to address the support needs of AYA, overcome barriers to care, and empower AYA to take proactive role in managing their health. In addition, it will give rise to AYA peer navigators with specialized skills, which could fill gaps in disrupted education and career paths, and help to attain future goals.
