NCT04214067
This phase III trial compares whether the addition of pembrolizumab to radiation therapy is more effective than radiation therapy alone in reducing the risk of cancer coming back (recurrence) in patients with newly diagnosed stage I-II endometrial cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. The addition of pembrolizumab to radiation treatment may be more effective than radiation treatment alone in reducing cancer recurrence.
NCT07076186
To find out if receiving standard chemotherapy (doxorubicin and trabectedin) can extend the cancer-free survival of patients with Stage 1b/2 uterine leiomyosarcoma who had surgery that fully removed the tumor.
NCT03419234
This randomized phase II trial studies how well abiraterone acetate and antiandrogen therapy, with or without cabazitaxel and prednisone, work in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer previously treated with docetaxel that has spread to other parts of the body. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy using abiraterone acetate and antiandrogen therapy may fight prostate cancer by lowering and/or blocking the use of androgens by the tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cabazitaxel and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving abiraterone acetate and antiandrogen therapy with or without cabazitaxel and prednisone may help kill more tumor cells.
NCT01871766
This study will treat participants with newly diagnosed, low, intermediate and high risk rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) using multi-modality risk-adapted therapy with standard or intensified dose chemotherapy, radiation and surgical resection. Intermediate and high risk participants will receive an additional 12 weeks (4 cycles) of maintenance therapy with anti-angiogenic chemotherapy. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: * Estimate event-free survival for intermediate risk participants treated with vincristine, dactinomycin and cyclophosphamide with the addition of maintenance anti-angiogenic therapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: * Estimate the false negative rate and incidence of additional positive lymph nodes in participants undergoing sentinel lymph node biopsy followed by limited nodal dissection. * Maintain a high local control rate in participants treated with surgery and/or limited volume proton and photon radiation without dose escalation. * Define the incidence and type of failure in participants who receive risk-adapted local therapy relative to the primary tumor volume. * Establish the feasibility of delivering 4 cycles of maintenance anti-angiogenic chemotherapy in intermediate and high risk patients following standard chemotherapy. * Estimate the event free survival for high risk patients receiving interval dose compressed therapy and maintenance anti-angiogenic therapy. * Define the incidence of CTC grade 3 and higher toxicities (and specific grade 1-2 toxicities) related to proton beam therapy.
NCT01346124
There are two types of external radiation treatments; proton beam and photon beam radiation. What type of therapy participants will receive will depend upon the location of their tumor. Standard treatment would involve receiving either proton or photon radiation delivered by a three dimensional (3-D) conformal radiation technique. 3-D conformal radiation therapy is a technique where the beams of radiation used in the treatment are shaped to match the tumor in order to avoid damaging the healthy surrounding tissue. Standard treatment also may include photon radiation delivered by intensity modulated (IMRT) technique. In this research study we are using an investigational technique to deliver proton radiation therapy called intensity modulated proton radiation treatment (IMPT) which is used to target cancer while sparing healthy tissue. With IMPT (and standard IMRT), radiation intensity can be turned down during the treatment. This control over the intensity of the radiation dose has the potential to provide accuracy and allows us to more safely increase the amount of radiation delivered to the tumor. This accuracy may potentially reduce side effects that patients would normally experience with 3-D proton radiation therapy. Surgery is often an important component of the treatment for these tumors and may be integrated with the IMPT.
NCT03210714
This phase II Pediatric MATCH trial studies how well erdafitinib works in treating patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders with FGFR mutations that have spread to other places in the body and have come back or do not respond to treatment. Erdafitinib may stop the growth of cancer cells with FGFR mutations by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT03155620
This phase II Pediatric MATCH screening and multi-sub-trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and/or for which no standard treatment exists that has been shown to prolong survival. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic mutation, and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
NCT02390752
Background: \- Some people with cancer have solid tumors. Others have refractory leukemia. This may not go away after treatment. Researchers want to see if a drug called TURALIO(R) can shrink tumors or stop them from growing. Objectives: \- To find the highest safe dose and side effects of TURALIO(R). To see if it helps treat certain types of cancer. Eligibility: \- People ages 3-35 with a solid tumor or leukemia that has returned or not responded to cancer therapies. Design: * Individuals will be screened with: * Medical history * Physical exam * Blood and urine tests * Heart tests * Scans or other tests of the tumor * Individuals will take TURALIO(R) as a capsule once daily for a 28-day cycle. They can do this for up to 2 years. * During the study, participants will have many tests and procedures. They include repeats of the screening tests. Individuals will keep a diary of symptoms. * Individuals with solid tumors will have scans or x-rays. * Individuals with leukemia will have blood tests. They may have a bone marrow sample taken. * Some individuals may have a biopsy. * When finished taking TURALIO(R), individuals will have follow-up visits. They will repeat the screening tests and note side effects.
NCT04771520
This phase II trial studies the effect of avapritinib in treating malignant solid tumors that have a genetic change (mutation) in CKIT or PDGFRA and have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or other places in the body (metastatic). Avapritinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Avapritinib may help to control the growth of malignant solid tumors.
NCT02846987
The purpose of this study is to test any good and bad effects of the study drug called Abemaciclib. Abemaciclib could shrink your cancer but it could also cause side effects. Researchers hope to learn if the study drug will delay the growth of the cancer or shrink the cancer by at least one quarter compared to its present size. Abemaciclib is not FDA approved and has not been tested in liposarcoma, but it has shrunk tumors in patients with breast cancer, lymphoma, and lung cancer.
NCT06021626
This study will test the safety of a study drug called CRD3874-SI. The researchers will test different doses of CRD3874-SI to find the highest dose that causes few or mild side effects in participants. After the researchers find the highest safe dose of CRD3874-SI, they will test that dose in new groups of participants to help them learn more about the side effects of the study drug and find out whether CRD3874-SI is an effective treatment for for patients with advanced or metastatic malignant solid tumors including sarcoma and Merkel Cell Carcinoma. (MCC), Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), Adenoid cycstic carcinoma (ACC), Uveal Melanoma, Muscosal and Acral melanoma, and Non small cell lung cancer. The researchers will also look at how the body absorbs, distributes, and gets rid of CRD3874-SI, and the how the body and immune system respond to CRD3874-SI.
NCT07062003
This clinical trial tests the safety and best dose of minibeam radiation therapy (MBRT) with a tungsten slit collimator for treating patients with skin or soft tissue tumors that have come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or that spread from where they first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Tungsten is an extremely dense metal and is commonly used for blocking x-rays for minimum radiation exposure. A tungsten slit collimator is a device that separates an initially wide beam of x-rays into several very narrow individual beams of radiation. As radiation passes through the collimator, the radiation hits regions of solid tungsten and is blocked. In the open slit regions, radiation passes through to the intended target/tumor area defined by the physician. The tungsten slit collimator then selectively blocks portions of the radiation to create an alternating pattern of higher "peak" and lower "valley" radiation dose regions. These narrow beams of radiation are referred to as "minibeams" and the general approach referred to as MBRT.
NCT03880019
This phase II trial studies olaparib and temozolomide in treating patients with uterine leiomyosarcoma (LMS) that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced), that has spread from where it first started to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as olaparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. Chemotherapy drugs, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving olaparib and temozolomide may work better than giving either drug alone in treating patients with LMS.
NCT03251989
Background: Primary tumors of the brain and spine are those that start in the brain or spine. These tumors are rare, accounting for \<2% of all cancers diagnosed in the United States. Some of these tumors occur in less than 2,000 people per year. Researchers want to study a large group of people with this kind of tumor. They want to learn more about the tumors, including the risk factors related to how they develop in adults. Objective: To collect health and gene data to learn about what changes are associated with a rare CNS Tumors, to eventually screen for these changes or target the genes in treatment. Eligibility: Adult participants \>= 18 years of age who self- identify as being diagnosed with one of 12 rare CNS tumors, including: Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT); Brainstem and midline gliomas; Choroid plexus tumors; Ependymoma; High grade meningioma; Gliomatosis cerebri; Medulloblastoma; Oligodendroglioma / Anaplastic oligodendroglioma; Pineal region tumors; Pleomorphic xanthroastrocytoma / Anaplastic pleomorphic xanthroastrocytoma; PNET (Supratentorial embryonal tumor); Primary CNS sarcoma / Secondary CNS sarcoma (Gliosarcoma).

NCT07539454
This phase II trial studies how well nirogacestat works in treating patients with skin Kaposi sarcoma (KS). Several anti-cancer drugs work well in treating KS, but there is no treatment that cures KS. Nirogacestat binds to a protein called gamma secretase, which blocks the activation of other proteins called Notch receptors. Blocking these proteins may help keep tumor cells from growing and may kill them. Nirogacestat is a type of gamma secretase inhibitor. Nirogacestat may be effective in shrinking the size of KS lesions and reducing the spread of lesions.
NCT03114527
This is a two center, 2 arm, Phase II study evaluating the combination of Ribociclib and Everolimus in patients with advanced DDL and LMS who have had at least 1 prior systemic therapy. Patients will be enrolled by sarcoma histology into DDL (Arm A) and LMS (Arm B). The purpose of this study is to determine the anti-tumor activity of this doublet therapy in these patient cohorts. Ribociclib will be administered orally at 300 mg/day 3 weeks on/1 week off. Everolimus will be administered 2.5 mg orally on a continuous 28 day cycle. Clinical and laboratory assessments will be made on day 1, d15 of cycle 1 and 2, and day 1 of each subsequent cycle. Tumor response will be assessed by RECIST 1.1 at (CT or MRI) at week 8, 16, 24 and every 12 weeks thereafter. Study drug administration will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent. Patients will be followed until death or are lost to follow-up for analysis of secondary endpoints. There will be a 1 step registration process for dedifferentiated liposarcoma patients while patients with leiomyosarcoma will require a 2 step registration process. For step 1 of registration, patients must meet all the eligibility criteria necessary for step 1. For step 2 registration, patients must meet the inclusion criteria necessary for step 2 to be enrolled into the study.
NCT04634227
This study will enroll patients who have a diagnosis of locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic soft tissue or bone sarcoma (except gastrointestinal stromal tumors and Kaposi's sarcoma) from any site.
NCT05054335
This trial studies the development of patient-specific computational walking models to improve the surgical planning and rehabilitation treatment of patients with pelvic sarcomas. Every pelvis and pelvic sarcoma are different, and the orthopedic oncologist faces significant challenges when removing a tumor from the complex anatomy of the pelvis. These challenges make it difficult to achieve excellent oncological and functional outcomes together. Computational walking models may be used to predict the best combination of surgical methods and how to implement them to maximize each patient's post-surgery walking function.
NCT06088290
The primary objective of this phase III study is to evaluate whether the combination of lurbinectedin plus doxorubicin given as first line treatment for metastatic leiomyosarcoma (LMS) prolongs the progression-free survival (PFS) by Independent Review Committee (IRC) when compared to doxorubicin administered as a single agent.
NCT06395103
Substudy 01A is part of a platform study. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of zilovertamab vedotin in pediatric participants with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)/Burkitt lymphoma, or neuroblastoma and in pediatric and young adult participants with Ewing sarcoma.
