Pazopanib is FDA approved as a second line and beyond treatment for metastatic soft tissue sarcoma. There is a population of elderly and debilitated soft tissue sarcoma patients that are not fit for standard first line chemotherapy that is doxorubicin based. As pazopanib is well tolerated with minimal side effects, the investigators propose a phase II study to evaluate pazopanib as a first-line agent in patients with non-resectable or metastatic disease who are not candidates for cytotoxic chemotherapy.
The investigators have recently developed an innovative optical molecular imaging platform (called PRODIGI) based on high-resolution fluorescence and white-light technologies in a hand-held, real-time, high-resolution, non-invasive format. PRODIGI offers a non-contact means of obtaining instantaneous image-based measurements of diagnostically-relevant biological and molecular information of a wound and surrounding skin tissues for the first time and could have significant impact on improving conventional wound care, management, and guidance of intervention. In preliminary preclinical testing, the investigators have discovered that when wounds are illuminated by violet/blue light, endogenous collagen in the connective tissue matrix emit a characteristic green fluorescent signal, while most pathogenic bacterial species emit a unique red fluorescence signal due to the production of endogenous porphyrins. Therefore, with autofluorescence imaging, no exogenous contrast agents are needed during imaging, making this approach particularly appealing as a diagnostic imaging method for clinical use. In the context of this study, PRODIGI is used to assess wound complications in patients diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma and treated with pre-operative radiotherapy. Both pre- and postoperative external beam radiotherapy combined with limb salvage surgery have similarly high rates of local control in the management of extremity soft tissue sarcoma. The main acute side effect associated with preoperative radiotherapy is wound healing complications. Wound care overall is a major clinical challenge and presents an enormous burden to health care worldwide. The objective of this clinical study is to determine if PRODIGI coupled with an optical tracking platform has clinical utility in identifying, quantitatively measuring and longitudinally tracking bacterial imbalance on the patient's intact skin surface at the location of the surgical resection site for adult patients with lower limb soft tissue sarcoma treated with preoperative intensity-modulated radiation therapy and limb salvage surgery and, further, to investigate whether this bacterial imbalance is related to radiotherapy dose and wound complications.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of GPX-150 administered intravenously every 3 weeks in the treatment of patients with soft tissue sarcoma.
This is a Phase 2, single-arm, Japanese multicenter trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of TH-302 in combination with doxorubicin in subjects with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma (STS).
The primary objective of the study is to compare quality of life (QoL) between patients suffering from soft tissue sarcoma, receiving a multidimensional intervention with those receiving standard treatment.
The aim of the study is to improve the understanding of molecular mechanisms in the development and progression of musculoskeletal tumors. These tumors do have in general unfavorable prognosis and conventional treatments (e.g. surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy) could not enhance the prognosis of these patients during the last ten to fifteen years. Therefore the investigators chose a new way, as they try to identify markers on a genetic level, who ideally act as a basis to develop new treatment options.
This randomized clinical trial studies survivorship care in reducing symptoms in young adult cancer survivors. Survivorship care programs that identify the needs of young adult cancer survivors and ways to support them through the years after treatment may help reduce symptoms, such as pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, depression, and distress, in young adult cancer survivors.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of palliative surgery in improving Quality of Life (QoL) and symptom control for patients who present with a Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS) and metastatic lung disease. Responses to clinical Edmonton Symptom Assessment System - Sarcoma Modified ( ESAS-SM) questionnaire for patients who have undergone surgery for resection of the primary tumour will be compared to those that are unable to have surgery. Data collected from this questionnaire can highlight the benefits in patients' QoL who receive palliative surgical resection, and whether these benefits surmount those who are not treated with palliative surgery.
This is a multi-institutional phase I/II clinical trial with concomitant local hyperthermia and proton beam radiotherapy in patients with primary or recurrent unresectable soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities, trunk, retroperitoneum (except intrabdominal). The primary purpose would be to assess the safety and efficacy of this approach along with local tumour regressions and subsequent tumour downstaging, thereby enabling a near total removal of these tumours following the hyperthermia and proton beam therapy.
